I also have to agree. I love playing my guitar on the third fret. It really sounds good and I have learned a few good sounds capod on the 3rd.

I find I play with the capo at frets 2 and 3 as often as I play the guitar with no capo. Tommy Emmanuel doesn't use the capo a lot, but his "Lewis & Clark" song is played capo 2, and he's the first to admit that it just doesn't sound right with no capo. Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" or "Dangling Conversation" or "Sounds of Silence" are played with the capo. As has been suggested, it does make the guitar easier to play, but I think for fingerstyle playing it takes the guitar to a tonal range that seems to be particularly pleasing. I feel certain this is why we have so many posts about capos. Once you fall in love with that sound, the way the capo works becomes very important. Thanks, Glenn |
