nothing wrong with a capo

op is a poorfag who can't afford a capo

>>72075455
Here Comes The Sun sounds shit without a capo, what you chatting

I don't get it

>>72075455
uses more than 5 effect pedals. worse if multiple of the same effect

>>72075613
bro nick reinhart is a fantastic guitarist

>can only play in 4/4

Uses three chords
>Pavement-core

>>72075610
You can't play the notes making your index as a capo? how much time have you played? 2 months?

>>72075943
Why make something intentionally harder?

>>72075970
Why play an instrument at all when you can just push a button on a computer?

>>72075943
still sounds different

Just lean how to play, you shitty noob guitar player

>auditioning guitarists for our band

>one asks if he can borrow a capo
>the other one can play it fine without one

Guess who gets the gig?

>>72076215
Wow did you figure that out all by yourself?

No shit, it was a hypothetical to illustrate a point you berry.

There are lots of amazing sounding colorful chunky chords that are physically impossible to access any other way. You should know that if you're such a hot player.

>>72076108

>>72076524
>never ever play a song on any instrument other than the instrument that it was originally "meant for"
wat

>>72076450
Bar third fret using left hand and press nine and ten strumming with ring and pinky finger using right hand

>>72076247
>wtf are jazz chords

>>72076582
That would sound like shit lmao

>>72076582
And if the notation indicated that the cord be strummed down and left to ring out, what would you do then?

>>72076631
>>72076450
Do this or shut the fuck up. I don't care if you can emulate it on less strings. Go.

Fuck this meme, there is literally nothing wrong with a capo.

Actually it's the opposite

>>72076702
Don't get mad, that's the idea, just try and make them explain themselves logically.

>>72076534
And you are a guitar noob that can't play without a piece of plastic

>>72076754
>>72076450
Go on.

>>72076002
Then why don't you exclusively strum the guitar with your penis? That would make it harder.

>>72076754
If what you're playing sounds nothing like how it's suppose to then you're the guitar noob.
>but I only fret notes with my dick that means I better than all the finger plebs, becuz dick playing is harder
Nobody wants to listen to your shitty sounding finger stretches faggot

>>72076844
Again, is not my fault that you can't play well and they sound different

>>72076881
>>72076450
Maybe you could give me a quick lesson on how to do something like this?

>>72076881
Again, it's not my fault your pleb ears can't tell the difference

Oh, poor and cute soul

female bass player in an otherwise all-male band

>>72077032
they are all Tina Weymouth aka "band member's girlfriend who wanted to be in the band so they handed her a bass because nobody will know if she's actually shit at playing it"

>>72076963
Okay, so you're full of shit. There are a gorillion great sounding open chords in that vein that you can only make thin imitations of without a capo. But you already know that.

>>72077032
I played on a shitty hardcore band with a shitty female drummer and no one cared, all they cared about was the boobs floating arround

>>72075455
Eh. I'd change this to

>guitarists that use a capo as a crutch because they don't know barre chords and play in other keys without it

Some things are impossible to play without one.

>>72077140
>b-but i can sort of play a similar sounding chord without using all of the strings without nearly as much body so you're just a poop guitarist

This one is pretty.

>>72077176
Playing similar chords is a legit skill though. You can usually get close enough.

>>72077206
I've been futzing around with >>72076450 and I can't find a way to play it exactly without a capo or using some weird fretted-with-both-hands-and-strumming-with-a-free-finger technique.

>>72077324
It absolutely is, but close enough isn't the same.

>>72077324
Scratch that, I just did it: 8 X 10 7 8 0

There's definitely stuff you need a capo for. A lot of fingerpicking stuff. I know a song where you need a capo at the start and remove it later in the song.

>>72076450
See
>>72077393

Your point stands though, I could only do it because I had a free string and could transpose on of the notes to an open string. I probably couldn't do >>72077305

>>72077436
Thread done.

Seriously, if you're good enough to transpose anything but still can't understand how that might make it sound very different you're an autist

>>72077546
Normies don't care. I know what you mean though.

Fuck trump and fuck capos

Great thread

>>72076108

The guy who can play without it because two reasons:

the first guy didn't have the wherewithal to bring one in the first place.

the second guy can adapt without it

retards

>what i don't understand according to my epic theory knowledge it's the same chord just transposed how could it possibly sound any different you just suck

It's like you capo faggots only have two hands or somthing. Fuckin' losers.

>>72075455

This is objectively true

How you have seen Hendrix, SRV, Mayer ect use a capo? Nope

>>72078575
That's most of the thread anyway.

>>72078701
no but i'd like to see them try and play a chunky beauty like this >>72077305
without one. all depends on what your goals are. there are amazing sounds that are humanly impossible without one. unless you have honestly fooled yourself into thinking something like >>72077393 isn't just a terribly weakened imitation

>>72078779
The notes are exactly the same. The timbre of each note is slightly different but it's not superior or inferior to the capo version.

>>72076002
Exactly! Instruments suck, if you can make music just use a computer.
If you can't, learn how to use an instrument and play your favorite songs.

>>72075943
you realize that's how george played it?

Can we just conclude that all you faggots are shit musicians?

>>72078875
I thought that was just assumed.

>>72078829
It's not slightly different, the finagled capo-less version sounds utterly pathetic by comparison. Play it on acoustic. There just isn't nearly as much string to ring out. I know the notes are the same, so what, that's just one part of the equation. It's not the same sound.

>>72078945
When I get home I'll compare them myself but I think we'll probably have to agree to disagree. I'll post a couple of clyps and see if you shady fucks can tell the difference.

>>72075613
I use 20 distortion pedals and 30 fuzzes you bitch

>>72075880
One chord is fine, 2 is pushing it but 3 is fucking jazz man

>>72078981
Please do and hear for yourself. It's a huge difference unless you're playing high gain or only doing quick chops. On acoustic it's night and day.

>>72075455
I use a capo for mathrock if I want to play in a different key, so I can come up with diatonic tapping licks in any key I want.

>>72079001
Why not just use a single metal zone?

>>72077128

>>72078585
>I need to transpose it to play it!
kek

>>72079076

Of course you can math in standard tuning, but using a capo can give you more options.

>>72079100
I know you're memeing me but one of the best players I've ever seen used a Les Paul.

But for each of him there's 10 rich kids who asked daddy for the expensive guitar Slash plays and can't play for shit.

What are some songs for me to start playing guitar better? I've been playing for 3 years so I have properly calloused fingers and pretty okay dexterity but I've never really bothered to ascend to higher playing.
Also what's some good classical guitarists other than John Fahey?

This is only useful when your entire song is in the key of the third fret so it's invalid

practices "sick" guitar riffs all the time but can't write a song

>>72076450
You can get practically the same feel with a different voicing
x 3 5 7 5 3

And if you wanted to get the same feel while arpeggiated, you'd just change the order like so:

|-------------3---------
|-------5---------------
|----------7------------
|----5------------------
|-3---------------------
|----------------------

The only difference is a 5th on the D string instead of the root's octave. Since there's already a root and a fifth in the chord anyway, it hardly matters

>>72079963
Actually here's a voicing that matches the notes exactly:
8 x 10 7 8 0

|--------0----------
|--------------8----
|-----------7-------
|----10-------------
|---------------------
|-8------------------

>he doesn't know what timbre is in music
wew lad

>>72080075
No. It's like a regular major barre with the last two strings open. It's neat to slide around. 3 is where a capo would be.

Nevermind, I see you were right. I hardly ever tab.

Because the natural instruments sound better than a synthetic version of the instrument, and there are things you can do with it that you can't do with a synth. If you're playing instruments because they're supposed to be "hard", then you're not a real musician and need to step away from music as a whole.

>if you don't make your own sounds with a synth and use presets/romplers you're not a real musician!
