Has anyone compared them - what are their pros and cons?
I'd primarily want to use it on my 1 11/16" nut D-28, but also have a 1 3/4" nut 512 that I guess it would be silly to not also take into account. |
One of the really really good flatpickers in my bluegrass group never uses a capo. I am trying to emulate that thinking. It's a kneejerk reaction in the group when someone says "this is in A!" to capo on the 2nd fret, but I definitely feel like it just sets you up to play the usual cliches. I really like the idea of going capo-less, although it'll take a while to be good.
