So who needs a capo on an electric guitar ? Surely they are for folkies and people who can't play bar chords ?
Hmmm.
Actually that may only be part of the story.
If you play in a band with more than one guitarist it can be really boring when all the guitars are playing the same chord in the same position. Whack on your capo and play a different inversion up the neck , with "open" strings ringing and you have really nice variation on the original sound. Some very famous sounds have been produced using a capo - I believe George Harrison ( one of the very best) used one on Here Comes The Sun. If you look carefully you will often see pix of great bands where one of the guitarists is using a capo. So give it a go. Shubbs are the Daddies , available in lots of sizes and won't let you down. I say get one soon.....
