I remember a live radio program with Niño de Puro. A chulo from the audience claimed that classic guitarists do not need capo because they know music, while the flamencos need a crutch. Daniel replied: the capo is for the cante and gives a specific tone. But we can also play without if we wish. He told the chulo to name a palo and a fret, which he did. Daniel then played perfectly without capo and the chulo had to shut up.

Conversely…I “know music”, or rather, I knew how to read music and understood the capo-less fingerboard almost a decade before I got involved with flamenco. I actually did use the capo for some pop songs on occasion (I think it was the silly Nelson video that clued me in to the possibilities, which came after 5 years of shredding on electric). So growing up with nice classical guitars, transposing with capo was no problem as I tip toed into flamenco world. But then I got my hands on some acoustic electric guitars (one of which I use as my main axe today). The damn dots screw with my head so bad it is not even funny. I am in 3 por medio down low I still see D minor scales, but any falseta up higher I am literally seeing F minor every where with those dots. I have gotten used to it somewhat in my old age, but as recent as last Sunday out door festival…I had to perform this falseta that I had created for a show last year, that was capo 1, but using my conde it was no problem. So jumping on stage with my Cordoba the cantaor said “hoy? 2 por medio!”, as he was feeling strong. No problem, all the singing…and then came the falseta. I looked at that fingerboard like it was the first time I had ever played a guitar!!![:D][:D] Totally lost, jodido.

That is why I never put any dot on my guitar too, because of the overwhelming confusion I get with a capo. But I risk very much making mistakes in classical and chamber music all the time.

Not sure what his beef was there. I remember the time I wrote this long diatribe and at the end said please don’t quote this as I’ll probably want to change it or remove it and bang, right away Pali or HR (can’t remember who) immediately quoted the whole damned thing! Then, you came along and double quoted them, just to rub it in, lol. My problem is I can get too OCD about my posts and keep going back and correcting them for clarity and better English. It’s stupid to do that because they invariably end up reading all stilted and looking like they were wrote by ChatGI or whatever it’s called. If somebody quotes me I’m screwed, but at least it stops all the pointless editing.
