In this second installment of my "two-torial" video series, I explain a bit about the reasons to consider using a capo on your guitar. Many songs have been written and performed on capoed guitars--especially by such notable artists as James Taylor, George Harrison, and the Everly brothers, to name a few.
As I mention in the video, a capo is a great tool to use when:
1) the song you are playing is in a "guitar-unfriendly" key
2) you need to change the key of a song to better suit your vocal range
3) you want to utilize and explore the unique tonal changes that come with raising the overall pitch of your guitar.
Happy pickin'--practice hard, and I'll see you in a week.

P.S. I want to quote a 10-year old student of mine who informed me that "practice makes perfect, and practice makes permanent." Smart kid!
