El Kiko -> RE: position dots on neck (Aug. 13 2012 19:53:14)

Yes , I have the famous Yamaha Cg171 and they do put dots on the side 5 and 7 and it is really annoying cos of the capo effect , worse on some frets than others , Normally I play a lot without looking at my left hand at all . I had to train myself to do that , it was for sight reading/transposition purposes , so that , when asked , for example i might read something in D but play it in Eb , with the saxophones , so you just move a fret and think in your head that you havent moved , and bingo it all works out , so long as you avoid the open strings ,....and dont look Anyway with the Yamaha its a bit like that it goes OK until I inadvertently look down and ,, damn ...mistake ... what I did in the end was i got some paint approximately the same colour as the side of the neck and a small model brush and painted in the 2 dots so they disappear , almost unless the sun shines on them they are almost not noticeable ... 2nd fret capo was not bad as it gave a 3 and 5 dot...but ist fret capo gives a 4 and 6 dot ....bum ........
