Do you actually know how to play yet? Or are you still overcome with excitement about your first guitar - because that doesn't really make sense.

There's no such thing as developing bad habits with a capo or 'reliance' on it. It's used to change the key of your guitar not as a barre chord replacement.

Besides a capo is usually only like $10-15. Pretty sure the vast majority of guitarists (especially acoustic) keep one in their cases. Think of it more like another type of effect, kind of like a slide.

...if you only saw the crazy sh*t I've done with a capo...
lol


Oh god, that sounds nasty. I didn't mean it to...

mr dave

Yeah but you've also posted about playing church drums on acid so... yeah that's kind of expected (though really I'm thinking some kind of drum hardware fix in a pinch - that, or groupie nipple clamps)

Haha... no, just odd usage in general.
Normally, I'd expect to use the capo to transpose entire tunings, but I'd do weird open-tunings and capo the highest 3 strings halfway up the neck.
There was never any reason.
