How To Choose And Use The Best Capo Type For Your Guitar

How To Choose And Use The Best Capo Type For Your Guitar By Billy Cokes        A capo is a wonderful tool for guitar players, as you can change the key of a song and use the same chord shapes.

An overwhelming number of plectrums (especially store-bought 351 shapes it seems) that have been collected from gigging musicians have crude knife scores on both sides, indicating that the material could do with a bit of help. Today, we’re going to look at the most fragrant solution that I’ve come across – Picker’s Grip. OriginsDeveloped in Charlottesville, Virginia by life-long musician and Charlottesville native Billy Cokes, Picker’s Grip was birthed out of a desire to attain, and maintain,...
