Pierrot Lunaire Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's like wondering why a drummer uses triplets and paradiddles. Because they make all the difference to tone and attack. That doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Do you, or anyone else wittering on about capo's and their uses, even play the fucking guitar? No? I thought not... It's like wondering why a drummer uses triplets and paradiddles. Because they make all the difference to tone and attack. Yes, and I don't use a capo. I think you're wrong if you think a guitarist uses a capo for tonal or musical reasons. It's purely for ease of playing, or for transposing a song if you have a singer with a different range etc. Tone and attack are controlled by picking technique, picking position (near the bridge or the neck), pick-up choice, electronics... Capo doesn't come into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 That's because you're not a musician.... And clearly neither are you. Are you a drummer.... ? ; )) How do you tell if the stage is level? The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth. How can you tell a drummer's at the door? The knocking speeds up. What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? "Hey, how about trying one of my songs?" Why do guitarists put drumsticks on the dashboard of their car? So they can park in the handicapped spot. Why is a drum solo like a sneeze? You know it's coming, but there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry - irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How do you know if it's a singer at the door? He can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in.... What's the difference between a drum machine and a drummer? You only have to punch the information once into the drum machine.... Yeah, Yeah, heard them all....

2bees Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Showing off time again ... Weee are going to see System 7 & Rovo soon, in London, pffffffft "in your face" to guitar music, capos and everything else. My favourite song from the phoenix album is Scramble (I did have a little "This is ace who is it?" a couple of weeks ago but as I have already crowned it as my favourite song of all time ever, thats ok)...I cannot wait. proper music, proper musicians and proper sound men, exciteeeeeeed.

quilp Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 "Just bin it..." ER, don't think so. Yer man here talks about playing chords in the higher register with a capo and how much ''brighter'' the sound is tonally. Anyway, as Zappa said, 'Shut Up And Play Yer Guitar'.

Silentbob Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well, a capo does lower the overall action of the strings, thus making it easier to make a clean chord, so I agree. Acoustic without capo sounds infinitely better than one with a capo (unplugged) but I also agree I capo some songs so I can sing it, 1 fret out can make all the difference between a well performed song and a lacklustre one.There is always an exception......

Pierrot Lunaire Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 He uses the capo all the time and didn't (and I swear this is true) know that it changed the pitch of the song. I believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianeye Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 This is the most retarded conversation since the Manxbands days. It's along the lines of chastising bass players for using a pick, Trumpet players using an Eb instead of a Bb instrument. It's simply another technique. Some people abuse it, Some people use it to great effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
