I have found this is a no no at BG jams.
Usually when a guitar or banjo player says
Something about a capo on a mandolin I just
Respond by saying "I wont use one if you dont. " banjo players especially cant play in any other key without one. And most guitarists at these things only know how to play a G chord bluegrass style. That being said as one progresses in mandolin the need for a capo
becomes obsolete. But it's still funny to me
how frowned upon it is at bluegrass jams.
It's a fretted inst just like any other.
Now a capo on a fiddle I could understand.
