Ricardo -> RE: Capo Issue figured out (Feb. 7 2007 21:52:00)

quote:
The capo should clamped down just enough to make contact the fret plus a little. Well, regardless of the type of capo I might use, if it is not clamped very hard, I can actually play so hard as to "vibrate" or buzz the open string against the fret the capo is on. Especially Open A or Open D string. So when I clamp any type of capo hard enough so that won't happen, the tuning problem results, as described/observed. The only other type of "wrong" capo, would be the curved kind for acoustic steel strings, in which case the problem I describe is worse. n85ae, your obervations go directly with what I was saying in response to the orginal question. Remember "scalloped" fingerboard or "high frets"??? Ricardo
