Cheers Richard and Jim Happy New Year and thank you for your feedback. I occasionally use a capo when playing especially now my fingers are not as they use to be. It is a bit of a slow set up for me making sure its set right and the string tuning is all good. If I was doing a show I would definitely use a capo like yours Richard. When I use to visit the guitar shop I sometimes used one like the one in your picture if my friend working in the shop had a guitar for me to play on and when on some occasions he would encourage me to play using a capo like yours which he kept under the counter... The mandolin player wasn't happy with my choice of tempo but was ok with my choice of notes for her to play. She didn't want me to use her name on the tune. I tried to make the instrumental into three parts with different tempos. After a bit discussion we compromised with just over dubbing her playing a few bars at the end instead of the two of us being out of sync and playing together all the way through. I don't think I could have managed to match the speed of the mandolin player or the tempo she was happy playing at..

Nice, I was waiting for you to start singing, but then saw it was an instrumental .. seems to be a bit sped up in the middle section?

I have a capo like that, I never use it as it's too hard to place (especially live!) and prefer the Maton design (I know it's not their design, but not sure who did), which is probably better than my more expensive Thalia capo ...

Cheers

Here is an instrumental called "Couch" which I composed originally for guitar and mandolin, but this time played with just my guitar with a short mandolin overdub at the end.. Couch a place I have been known to take a sneaky afternoon nap on.
