In this free guitar lesson, I explain why you should use a capo. Some people think using a capo on guitar is a sissy way to transpose a piece of music. But using a capo on guitar is about more than just playing in different keys-it’s about making use of chord shapes that make your playing sound better.

This is the most informative introduction to capo on youtube. Thanks!
Glad you think so!
Excellent video! Lots of stuff I’ve never thought about. Thanks!
Great video. I have been playing Free Falling for years and I still learned something new about it today.
Been playing for over 40 years and never played with one. You’ve inspired me to go out tomorrow and get one. Great video.
Thank you so very much good info
Great video, Desi, and great topic! Knowing how to use a capo is vital to any serious guitar player, for all the reasons you described. I think most people think of a capo as one dimensional, but it's really multifaceted. I think the fact that so many great artists over the years have made use of it speaks for itself. Thanks!
Soooo I was already enjoying the lesson, especially when I saw the PRS, but as soon as I heard the sound of the sound at 10:24 I was like this sounds like a Christian song. Now I'm definitely going to subscribe. Nice work!!!
Great information and options. I like the sound variety
Glad you liked it!
Another great short but sweet video from Desi 🤟👍
Thanks 👍
I love your videos. Thank you! Do you think you will be doing another Q&A in the future?
You can send questions my way anytime. I'll hang onto them. I often do Q&As on my podcast.
Thanks Desi I think I just became aware of some interesting options.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant Desi!!!!
Thank you 😊

Excellent video and needed. So many Artists use a capo and options seem to be many by using one. What capo are you using Desi?

Hi Desi, what are your thoughts or recommendations on the “roller” type capo’s.? Thanks Ray
Hey, Ray. I hope you're doing well. I recently bought a roller capo. It's a little difficult getting it attached, but once it's on it's easy to move around. I bought it for situations where I need to transpose quickly like at church when we have a key change in the middle of a song or when we transition from one song to the next immediately. If you don't need to transpose quickly, a regular capo is best.
Great video! What headset are you using, you sound so clear.

Can I use my capo on electronic guitar as well as I use on acoustic guitar? Or should i get a new capo for electronic guitar?
Yes, although you may need to find a capo that fits properly depending on each guitar's neck shape. I'm able to use the same capo on all my guitars.
Go ahead use capo ..be aware of denting your frets.. honestly the only time I use capo when I want check neck relief.
Guitars are made to be played. The more use you get out of your guitar, the more worn the frets will be become regardless of whether you use a capo or not.
@@desisernaguitar totally agree with you. I just get less wear with lighter strings and I have light touch so I rarely see any more dents. When I used the heavier guage noticed it more especially top register. The capo doesnt wear it out. Now the only.time use capo when checking neck relief.
