because someone can't reach the fifth fret without a capo is no reason to use one. Actually I think that's a really good reason to use one![:D] Especially for learning stretches. One way to help develop good stretch-ability, capo up high, get fluent with whatever it is you are practising, then put the capo one lower, repeat, one lower, etc. it's a good way to work on things, so again, use the capo. Trying to just play everything without a capo without working up to it can lead to strained hands or fingers. quote:
Capo's aren't there to make things more easy. but they do... and why not? Actually I think it's not so much a case of making things more easy, but, as I said, there are things which are near impossible without using one.... if you get criticism for "cheating", tell them to try![:D] quote:
If you can't reach the fifth fret and you want to: just practice more :-). see above comment about developing stretches with the capo, and hand strain. i think you missed the point, that a lot of this stuff gets worked out with a capo, sometimes on 3 or 4 (esp por medio), where the monstruo maestros originally played, maybe paco, moraito, gerardo nunez, should practise more.... and as for: quote:
capo's are for guitarist who can't play complicated chords. who are these people?!!! have they ever heard/seen any flamenco guitar? quote:
That's a critique I (we flamenco players) usely get from steelstring players etc sheeesh, if they think that about capos, they are so ignorant they shouldn't be paid attention to or listened to.... i have various put downs for these idiots, which i shan't repeat out of context 'cos they sound really bitchy!
