Key To Diverse Playing: Capo Basics
Capos (from the Italian capotasto), also weirdly called fret lobsters function as tools that shorten guitar strings. They clamp down over a string’s frets. Basically, the device is one of simplifying, as one can change key and pitch without retuning the guitar. They can also be used for other stringed instruments like the banjo and even mandolin. Several different styles exist with different mechanisms. The capo functions as a very simple machine. Folk, rock and flamenco have been known as styles that heavily use the capo, while classical and Jazz styles rarely use the device. Capos will allow you to play a song without learning it in different keys if you work with vocals that utilize different pitches. These devices will allow you to accommodate the singer without all the fuss.
