  • What Capo do you use/recommend?

    Posted by BrandonK on March 8, 2024 at 2:09 am

    Hi TAC Community,

    I was watching a few videos and kept seeing guitar players using a capo. Which appears to be very unique to each individual. There is the G7th’s, Ernie Ball Axis and so many others.

    I have a brand new Taylor GS Mini Koa and would love your advice on what would be the best capo you like to use and would recommend.

    Thank you,

    ~Brandon

    There is nothing special about a capo and pretty much any will work. I have a Kyser which was recommended by two different instructors. But I’ve also used a Velcro strap I had lying around and it worked just fine

    Thanks Moose, I’ll try that. The mole (vise)-grips are playing havok with my guitar neck.

    I use a Shubb. I think Tony recommended it once…

    I just purchased the Ernie Ball Axe Capo from Amazon which was only $21 CDN. I should receive it Monday.

    Thanks everyone for your feedback and advice.
