  • hello everyone! ^^
    so every time i upload a tutorial that requires a capo, i always get a lot of you guys asking me if there's a way to play the song without one. sometimes, i can find ways to do it, but sometimes, you just need to have one. =(
    so this video is for all of you who don't have the money or the know how of how to and where to buy one. i teach you what the capo does, how it works, and how to make one out of household objects. =]
    so now hopefully you guys can start learning more songs that require a capo without having to spend money on one first. of course, if it gets tedious to put together all the time, i would still suggest thinking about buying one from your local music store, because they're super useful and easy to use. =]
    connect with me! ^^

      +Mone Lino 20 bucks aint that much.
      and the t-shirts you wear costs more then that i'm sure.
      also, considering you avatar i would assume you smoke weed. if you can afford weed you probably could afford a capo.

    • @saimonelino4010
      @saimonelino4010 Před 8 lety +1

      Fair point, But id rather spend my 20 bucks on other shit rather than a Capo. That is why I watched this video instead of wasting money. Wasting money is something you would do, cheeps like me like save money and spend it on some other shit

    @jemmaanzai3666 Před 11 lety +1

    This is a great video! I always like watching your tutorials, but they can get really complicated when you have to do it without a capo. This video s clever because it shows the use of a capo if you have one and how to make if you don't! Keep making videos! :)

    whenever I try this, my guitar always makes a rattling noise when played. I can not find any thick rubber bands but found skinny ones and used 2. My guitar is also making a buzzy noise in the top and 3rd string, but not with cao on. Would you know whats causing this and how it could be fixed?
