Seven-string Capo?

[bostjan]

I am not:

- Steve Vai
- Independently Wealthy
- Kroeker

Thus, I cannot afford a 7 string acoustic. And unless your amplifier is made of cheese, you're using a mechanical aide too.

I don't use it for electrics very often, but on acoustics, all the time.

Umm, how much was the Ibanez AJ307CE? Not that much. There are a couple Russian manufacturers making sevens in acoustic for like $100 plus duties and shipping (like another $150). Plus there is now Gianini.

I don't want to hear the 'I'm too poor excuse!'

Also, look at Django Reinhardt. Did he ever use a capo? ...and look at his fingers.

I don't use them, but only because I don't like to hastle around with them. I'd rather spend my money on picks, strings, cables, effects, amplifiers, guitars, basses, hookers, speaker cabinets, repairs, straplocks, etc. But different people have different techniques.

First off, I'm not going to play a shitbox $100 acoustic, regardless if it's a seven or not. I have standards, sir.

Secondly, I just bought a hellraiser, so blow me. If you want do donate to the "Get Chris A Sevenstring Acoustic Fund",

this sucker at the top of the screen will shut me right up with the proper incentive.

They cost like $5. I bet you own an e-Bow!

Capos are for the weak.

They are definitely NOT metal, and i'm amazed that Shannon has one in his possession.

I use it on my acoustic at home from time to time. A REAL guitarist comes prepared for any playing situation, beeatch!

[action=Shannon]farts in Darren's general direction.[/action]

[action=Chris]agrees with shannon and shakes his private pah-rts at Darren[/action]

[action=Chris]would like to clarify that he's shaking his own private parts at Darren, not shaking Shannon's private parts, because that would be kind of fucked up.[/action]

He does. Cause he runs the site. and he pays for it out of pocket.

Actually, I fund the site with my team of ethiopian midgets weaving together bits of broken guitar strings in my sweatshop in the basement. But don't tell anyone. You'd be amazed at how much those "starving" motherfuckers eat over the course of a week.

All that crap under my username is just for show.

It does have perks though. I mean, check it out, I have the Gay Purple Admin Dropdown Menu of Doom!

(See? I give you guys all the cool colors, and look what I'm left with... )

What?! The AJ307 was a great guitar, regardless of the seven strings.

Secondly, I just bought a hellraiser, so blow me. If you want do donate to the "Get Chris A Sevenstring Acoustic Fund",

I will as soon as I'm done donating to the 'Bostjan gets himself an Oni eight string fund' lol. I guess I'm here often enough that I have no real excuse for that one.

Umm, well, i do own a couple capos, just not a slightly-larger one for seven stringing. And they're more like $15, but i get your point. Most of the stuff I mentioned was in the $15 too though. I just don't use a capo.

You do realize that you are running a seven string guitar website, so I reserve the right to be a little surprised if you don't have a seven string acoustic, but you reserve the right to ban me from the site, so umm...

Chris is the man! Go Chris!

hahahah Its amazing the crazy things we seven-stringers say when something as simple as a capo is mentioned.Anyway I think im gonna try that bird capo thing it looks awesome.Hope it can hold down 10-70 strings.

I've got a kaiser 12-string capo and it works just fine. I use it for playing Hotel California on my RG2127X (And to anyone who doesn't think Hotel California is )

Also, sometimes I use it only on the higher 5 strings to get a 'drop-D' sort of effect.


Hey Kevan, now that you're 'in' with AllParts... design a 7-string capo dude!!

I've used one from time to time on EVERY guitar and bass I've owned (just for shits and giggles mainly). The Bird of Paradise capo has never given me trouble. It's about $20, but it can handle just about anything.
