Thanks for taking my comments in the spirit in which they were intended!! Thought you might be incredibly interested(!!!) to know that I only ever wear Gallardo's and they have to be suede. As for the taks - next time I get a new pair I am going to count them. Can't do this now as I have stamped them into insignificance. Karenanne
PS So I don't get accused of hijacking this thread, can I just add that I actually own a Shubb but am now tempted to buy one of those other things as they look far more 'girlie'!!
Karenanne, I myself use a "girlie" capo that I made myself. Its made of Pink ebony with inlayed hearts of mother of pearl...
I would make a photo, but I cant find the thing. Its lost somewhere in some trousers Thats the advantage of a shubb, you never forget it in your pockets.
BTW, can you get Gallardos in different color suede and what is your favorite?
Oh no, even my preferred shoes are a very 'ungirlie' black - though I do have a very nice caramel coloured pair which I don't use much though as they have a different heel and are 'too fast'. (Heel type thread possibility?!!!??) Your girlie capo sounds lovely - hearts are a big thing in interior design over here at the moment. (Capo - lifestyle magazine possibilites??) Please try and find it and take a picture.
This thread has had an amazingly high number of hits - I wonder what the record is? In the interests of public awareness I have researched this further and realised that most of the guitarists I have met in Madrid use a dunlop though I have witnessed young boys with very long hair and plastic mother of pearl numbers that play amazingly! Karenanne
I used to have one, but gave it away to a long haired freak with a van who was in need for a capo. (and a lot of other things ) I should have given him the shubb or the dunlop or whatever, because that plastic thing is wonderfull and I would have liked to keep it..
I think that you have a problem with your shoes. Maybe you are neglecting something inside you. Something "girlie".... Black shoes are very standard middle of the road... I would like to see some deep red with black polka dots etc.
Hey Anders now your really showing us your sensitive side (thats o.k even if the capo does look poofy) im kidding, im kidding hey i wonder what a rosette done with the same love heart theme would look like and maybe a nice big one on the headstock too.
I just bought the Ned Steinberger designed capo for Planet Waves, and it is perfect. It is about half the weight of a Shubb, and is very quick to use. It is ideal, especially given the fact that it is only $15.
