tpbiii Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Here are a few old capos we have collected over the years -- mostly "case candy" that comes with old guitars. Just thought you might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, those little rope-chord jobs and stretchy things that were never worth a lick. TG for Shub. A dissenting voice re caps was Rev. Gary Davis, who prided himself for being able to play in a variety of keys, regardless and had the chops to do so. But he was special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I love capos! I think I have six right now but I've given a couple away. I'm working on "And Your Bird Can Sing" by the Beatles right now. Capos all over three different guitars. In one section, I reverse my Shubb so it covers only strings 1-5 on the second fret so I can hit the low E on the sixth string. It is like drop D one full step higher. Here is a screen shot from my "Beatles To A Tee" DVD where Rob Taylor plays three parts; Rick 324 capo 2 (John), Casino low lead no capo (Paul), Casino high lead capo 2 (George). Of course I sold my Casino to acquire my J200, so I'll be using my Rick 320, Gretsch G5122 and Fender Strat for the three parts. Shubb capos are relatively cheap so you can cut up the rubber parts to custom make capos for various uses. You can get extra rubber parts for the Shubb too so you can have various ones cut for different capo combos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 oh man...love the capo - capo the 5th and play Tull's Mother Goose and capo the 7th and play Cheap Day Return... capo is what gives Tull such a unique sound on his acoustical songs...if you're a Tull fan that is The Ian Anderson acoustic sound comes from a very very small bodied parlor type acoustic guitar with capo at three (Wond'ring Aloud, Thick as a Brick), five (Mother Goose) or even seven (Cheap Day). Ian says "The guitar with which I am most associated, especially in the seventies, was the US produced Martin 0-16NY, a small bodied so-called "parlour" guitar". He has also said people tend to think he's a large man and are shocked when they see him in person without the guitar. The small guitar makes him look huge onstage!
