That capo comment is about the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Nobody thinks that.

Well obviously somebody does because somebody just said it. If you can't learn to play your keys with closed hand position then you're a cheating fag.  Look at shit like violin and cello, they don't use capos OR have frets, but play in every key. THAT is musicianship at it's highest level. you can't say that you like to play in B the most if you just capo your 4th fret and pretend it's in G major, that's fucking lame and you know it. MANY high level musicians think capoing is a joke, the only people who do it consistently are beginners. (although I'll concede it's a valuable learning tool as it gets noobs to look at the relationship between notes and hand positions)

Lol ok. You're obviously still learning so I'll let it fly, but if you start getting hired for professional gigs and you can only solo with a capo then you're fucked dude. Tons of songs change keys in the middle of the song and no professional is going to let you pause to move your capo while the rest of the band goes on.

It aint for soloing, it's acoustic rhythm guitar and traditional folk stuff. I've seen plenty of live shows where pickers use them. I'm pretty sure you dont know what the fuck you're talking about because if guys like Tony Rice aint above using a capo neither should you.

Lol, I know what I'm talking about, I fucking promise you. Sure, people like Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton, David Grier, Andy Falco and Chris Eldridge use them, but that's for shredding bluegrass fiddle tunes, and even then they ditch the capo on a regular basis. It has it's time and place, but I promise you every single one of those people could play anything they want without the capo, they don't use it as a crutch, they use it as a tool. I'm talking about the dummy in this thread talking about playing in A flat minor like it's fun when you know he's just capoing instead of actually learning the key.

Also I'm a mandolin and fiddle player so I'm just kinda :crankey: I can't use one.

Well I regard pickers like Tony Rice and Doc Watson as the THE BEST guitarist and shredding fiddle tunes as the pinnacle of guitar. So any type capo  is fine by me if it facilitates gold like this.

I'll see your tony rice and raise you a bryan sutton. That said, I respect quite a ton for being a fan of bluegrass, that's what I was raised on.

 

For the record, I've jammed with both of those guys.

Not sure where this capo argument came up but there are plenty of guitarists who use them for more than just changing the key.  In fingerstyle arrangements they can almost become a necessity as you're not going to be able to have all your notes properly ring out playing it open. 

If you're using a capo just to change the key then yes it is a beginner move however there are plenty legitimate uses for capos recognized by world class guitarists.

I've been playing consistently for about 6 months now. Got my main chords down and been playing on both acoustic and electric. I'm still working on my speed for solos but it's getting there. Doing a bunch of different covers right now. As soon as I have something solid I'll throw it up on here. The psychedelic stuff is what I'm mostly into and a lot of blues. I play as much as I possibly can everyday. I fucking love guitar  :inlove:

I'm a pretty shitty guitarist. But I can read tabs. tune it, and play a handfull of random riffs.

Every once in a while I'll get interested and learn something new. I should of tried learning it earlier when I had a shit ton of free time.

I plays teh guitar.  Used to be really into it for about 8 years or so, got pretty good, then just kinda stopped playing as much.  Jammed for a little while today with some friends though actually.

playing with the distortion a little.  just kind of messing around.  probably haven't picked up the electric in over a month, been playing the acoustic.  I also don't play metal normally, but I try :lol:.  after that there's just a jam of whatever. 

great to play the guitar while high.  one of the best things you can do. :stoned:
