Middle finger does a half bar on the 6th and 5th strings

problem is, my fingers find it hard to do that 90 deg half bar so I have to play it with 4 fingers and the Cejilla is tricky.

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!

Ohhh my god.... The original super kitch capo.

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.

Anders,
I think a really kind gesture would be to send that cejilla to Karenanne.

cheers,

Ron

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.
