Capo recommendations

Nice to see you again. In this article, I would like to write about a variety of equipment with a certain degree of dogmatism and prejudice.

This time's theme is capo recommendations.

A capotasto is a tool used when you want to raise the key on the guitar while keeping the preferred chord form and the accompanying sound. The sound of the open strings is different with and without the capo, so I think that you can enjoy playing with a feeling of exhilaration that is a bit different from usual, by coming up with a riff or chord work that makes use of the capo and the open strings.

Let's get to it!
