    Thanks! The capos are all cut to different specifications. Some are designed that way and some I cut with a hack saw to simulate alternate tunings and to act as a third hand to hold down the strings. :)

      Um... I think you guys missed the joke of what Six String Said... if he had a dollar for every note Mark missed, he'd still be broke... broke is little to no money, is it not? Therefore Six String is saying that he missed very few if not zero notes.

    @markkroos  10 років тому +3

    I usually think of a short cut capo as a third hand that remains stationary or a way to get into a different tuning without actually having to tune the guitar differently. You can really do a lot with them. Thanks for watching! :)

    That is the Kopf Percussion Oak ToeKicker Stompbox - it really adds a lot to live performance. I've been really happy with mine!

    To learn this song as a duo is brilliant but to be able to play it alone is absolutely incredible a very very well done 👏
