- Banjo Capos | Bluegrassbasics
Banjo Capos Paige Original Banjo Capo - This "yoke" style capo works particularly well on banjos. Since most banjos have a flat fingerboard radius, the centered yoke style puts equal pressure on the strings. This capo stores behind the nut when not in use. It usually requires two hands to operate effectively. It is a simple design, but works very effectively on a wide variety of instruments. Paige Clik Banjo Capo - A similar style to the original, this capo has a built-in tension release - their "Clik" system. It is similar in function in all other ways. Strum Hollow 5th String Capo - Since 5-string banjos have a short 5th string, they need a separate capo for just that one string. While some techniques are tried and true - like tapping in miniature railroad spikes that the 5th string can be hooked under - this little device requires no modifications to the banjo. The string slides into the brass slot and the thumb wheel is tightened to keep it from moving. The thumb screw is white plastic, but can be colored in with a permanent marker to make it less conspicuous. When not in use, it can be stored past the nut - attached to a string. *Not pictured - Shubb C5b Capo - This lever-action banjo capo is loved by many but lacks the ability to be stored on the banjo when it is not in use.
- Jam Etiquette | Bluegrassbasics
Jam Etiquette While every jam is slightly different, there tend to be some common threads that run through them. Following a few basic guidelines can help you seamlessly join the next jam that you visit. Be observant! There are a lot of unspoken customs that include: How songs are selected Types of songs selected Who leads each selection How instrumental "breaks" are determined It's okay to ask if you're not picking it up. Be in tune! Tune to a standard A=440. Being in tune with the group is extremely important. Re-check often - especially when using a capo. Investing in an electronic, clip-on tuner is a life-saver. (They've become very affordable) Click here for a page on tuners! Be prepared to pick a song - or two! If you don't feel comfortable singing it or leading it, you can always ask if someone else can. Pick another in case your first choice gets selected by someone else. It's always okay to pass, but people want to play what you know so do try to think of one. Avoid "Jam Busters" These are songs that don't fit the genre, are very complex, or aren't prepared to be performed at a typical tempo. Choose a song that follows a predictable structure. Few chord changes are best. Common keys like G, C, A, and D If it's an instrumental piece, a simple version - played at a more typical tempo - is a much better choice than a "fancy" version that needs to be slowed down too much. It's not an Open Mic People gather at jams to play together. That's what makes them so special. Play so others can hear themselves. This is especially true: During instrumental breaks While a vocalist is singing Have fun and don't worry about perfection. You are your harshest critic!
- Guitar Capo | Bluegrassbasics
< Back Guitar Capo There are almost an infinite number of guitar capos around. Choosing one with adjustable tension is essential for keeping your instrument in-tune during capo changes. Kyser Quick Change Classical Guitar Capo - This is a "trigger" style capo with no radius to the pad. It can be used any instrument that has a flat fingerboard. The major drawback to this capo is that the tension is not adjustable. This means that there is often a lot of re-tuning needed when using this style capo. One-handed operation is possible with this style capo. It can be clipped to the headstock when not in use. D'Addario TriAction Capo Black - Another "trigger" style capo but this one has an adjustable thumb wheel on the spring. The wheel lets you only use as much tension as is needed and reduces the need to re-tune when using it. The bulk of this capo "hides" behind the neck and is not very apparent to the audience. One-handed operation is possible with this style capo. It can be clipped to the headstock when not in use. D'Addario TriAction Capo Silver - Same as #2 but in a matte silver finish. G7th UltraLight Capo - This capo is barely there! It has hardly any profile to it, it has adjustable tension, and it is CHEAP! It requires both hands to adjust it on the guitar. The only thing it's lacking is the ability to store it on the instrument when not in use. Paige Original 6-String Acoustic Capo - The "yoke" style capo is popular with bluegrass musicians and this is the most affordable version out there. The tension screw means it is self-centering and there are no bulky springs on it. When not in use, it can sometimes be stored behind the guitar's nut. If the guitar has a thicker headstock (like on a slotted peghead), it might not fit over the nut. In that case, a different style of capo would be best. It also requires 2 hands to operate effectively. G7th Heritage Capo - This is the fancy version of the "yoke" style capo. The finish is very refined - sometimes described like jewelry. It boasts G7th's ART (adaptive radius technology) which adjusts the pad to a wide variety of guitar radii. This is a very expensive capo. G7th Performance 3 Black - This style uses a unique internal ratchet. It is squeezed into place and hold that tension. It also utilizes G7th's ART and can be stored on the headstock. One-handed operation is possible, but some users may need to squeeze with both hands. G7th Performance Silver - The original version of the G7th Performance. The ratcheting system was reversed in versions 2 & 3. *Not Pictured - Shubb C1 - This is a very popular and reliable "lever" style capo. It requires two-handed operation and usually isn't stored on the guitar. Previous Next
