Default Re: Pub Jam - Video clips for your enjoyment

When I saw that Gord was using Shubb capos I started using them as well. The two types that I use are the 2 inch ones, made for six string guitars and the 2 and a quarter inch ones which are slightly curved and are used for twelve string guitars. I have a 2 inch one "permanently" covering all strings with the exception of the low "E" strings and it's on the third fret of the 12 string guitar. I use a "Picker's Pal" capo (for convenience) on the first fret to cover the low "E" string on the 12 string which gives me the "drop D tuning" for tunes like "Early Morning Rain" etc. when played using the chords in the "D" positioning. It's actually the key of "F." The "infamous" capo in question here from what I recollect would be a six string guitar capo, or it could even be banjo capo, who knows? Now that I probably have everyone totally confused I'd better not say more but get on with this beautiful sunny day here in Vancouver, get out play a few Gord tunes.
