      +Mone Lino 20 bucks aint that much.
      and the t-shirts you wear costs more then that i'm sure.
      also, considering you avatar i would assume you smoke weed. if you can afford weed you probably could afford a capo.

    • @saimonelino4010
      @saimonelino4010 8 лет назад +1

      Fair point, But id rather spend my 20 bucks on other shit rather than a Capo. That is why I watched this video instead of wasting money. Wasting money is something you would do, cheeps like me like save money and spend it on some other shit

    @jemmaanzai3666 12 лет назад +1

    This is a great video! I always like watching your tutorials, but they can get really complicated when you have to do it without a capo. This video s clever because it shows the use of a capo if you have one and how to make if you don't! Keep making videos! :)

  • @alexandrawronski3451

    @gadispurple2524 10 лет назад

  • @roofspencer2978
    @roofspencer2978 11 лет назад

    That is the most helpful thing ever. Than you. I was moaning at home because my guitar sounded rubbish and I'm only 10 so I can't buy my own capo for my guitar. But when I made the capo it sounded so much better.

  • @buchstabensuppe1771
    @buchstabensuppe1771 8 лет назад +1

  • @m1itch
    @m1itch 9 лет назад +5

    Do you have something better for a ukelele? It took me over 10 fat rubber bands in order to make it stop rattling. But with the 10 rubber bands, the rubber bands covered almost 2 frets, not allowing me to play the song!! :(

  • @NottyGurlStyle
    @NottyGurlStyle 9 лет назад

    I'm just learning so when I wanted to learn to play Wonderwall by Oasis on Rocksmith 2014 it told me I needed a capo. I didn't know what that was until I looked it up. I'll probably try this first then order one once I get better.

  • @DBS81213
    @DBS81213 12 лет назад +1

    whenever I try this, my guitar always makes a rattling noise when played. I can not find any thick rubber bands but found skinny ones and used 2. My guitar is also making a buzzy noise in the top and 3rd string, but not with cao on. Would you know whats causing this and how it could be fixed?

  • @pixelgirl444
    @pixelgirl444 9 лет назад

    my homemade Capo gets in the way of my hands a lot. I used a pencil and cut it, then put bands around the pencil (by the way I'm using a ukulele but same thing) and its in the way whenever I try to play in the new first fret?

  • @Sarahskook
