You literally have the best beginner guitar tutorials around! I love how you explain things so thoroughly so people like me, with no training at all, can easily learn. Thanks, and keep on rockin!
i know, i'm really sorry for any inconvenience! i'm working on it as much as i can, and i'm going to be uploading a video later today to explain why this is all happening. hopefully everything will be back to normal soon!
why when i always try this my string dont make a sound at all ? i mean... its like i cover all the strings and i dont have any sound anymore lol its like i am standing with my hand on it
+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.
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
Wow, that's a really smart idea! I like how you're thinking lady! I'm a guitar beginner, and I've watched alot of Videos with capos and had no idea what's for. Thank you!
I love you. I am gonna finally buy a capo since I have a job now finally but I was using the pencil way of capo for a while now and it's amazing and I would prolly never think of it without you, so : THANKS.
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! :)
omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!thankyou ellen!I've watched all of your tutoriouls and i love them so much! you really make sure everyone knows whats goin on! I can't buy a capo for a long time and this will ssssssoooooooo help me! THAKYOU!!xo
The last object that you used make your guitar sounds like ukulele :) I had ever seen a tutorial that showed how to make the capo and he used the old pen and 5 rubber band . It so creative, Ellen :D
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.
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!! :(
thanks you Girl!! you are amazing!! please please xan you make a tutorial for this song that you play it in the end i really love it -i'm a guitar beginner- so thanks!!
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.
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?
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?
can you make a video on jake bugg's song me and you i love that song but i can't play that on my guitar and there is only one video on youtube that teaching chords but i cant understand that one
Hi(: i wanna ask a question of whats size should i get? Cause i was looing in to getting a concert size or an medium range size guitar. I just need more info on those two (: i really dont know what to get lol.
Thanks I want make another channel where I play the guitar and I really need a capo but I don't have the money right now and I just need to learn and this helps alot
tysm ellen!! u simply rock!! can u plz do a tutorial for 1d's song "little things" from their album "take me home" please!!! i really wanna learn it :)
Hi. I was wondering. What guitar are you using in this video? I have been trying to find a guitar that actually fits my petite size. cos ive got really short hands...
hey tnx for youre help cause the capo here in the philippines was expensive it worth about 300-400 pesos now i have a capo without buying a expensive material tnx it help a lot pecil+rubber band= CAPO :))
Omg thank you so much i was looking for a capo but now ino i dont need a capo i can play it wiz a pencil and an elastic thnk u so much this really helps a lot now i can play watever song i want:)😂🏃👏💪🎶🎵🎧🎸🎤🎬
It's just 4$ in India That too I am not sure If i should buy it Because my guitar is not a flat one, would the normal capo's work on my givson guitar which is a a little curved
Emergency solved. Thanks! My metal tire pressure gauge didn't work, but a plastic cylindrical pen does the trick. Seems it's better to use something which can bend ever so slightly to match the curve of the fingerboard.

Hi. Your videos are amazing! I was wondering if you could play evaporate by Gabriele aplin. I'm finding it a bit hard to play a cover for it. Thanks
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.
Thank you soooooo much!!!!! I really needed this, because I ALWAYS lose my capos (yes I am that much of a chaotic person)
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!! :(
i died laughing at this! hahaha!
+MaeShadow™ hey! I was super stressed about it :(
that is struggle. ukulele string is fat as well so.. i dont think it will work with a capo on it.
oh ok thanks, ill try it soon
Subscribed! I'm so glad I found you! You're the one that I'm looking for! And I'm loving every cover you make
thanks you Girl!! you are amazing!! please please xan you make a tutorial for this song that you play it in the end i really love it -i'm a guitar beginner- so thanks!!
thank you so much! with you im learning A LOT OF NEW THINGS ABOUT PLAYING THE GUITAR! you angel

OmG wow! TYyy soo MucH !! i always had to like.. search for songs without a capo n now.. im all trouble-free !! whew!!
Nice! And finally I know what a capo is and have it with me all the whole time. Lol. I'm new to the guitar. =)
That was pretty cool. I just tried it with a Bic Pen & a rope with a Slippery Buntline Hitch instead of the rubber band. Works pretty smarvy...
I really needed a capo and i couldnt find one anywhere so thank you for showing us how to make our own
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.

Hey Hi,
Abhijit from india, Thanks for your video. could you please suggest which brand's capo is best ..?
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?
Can you tell me where you got that guitar? Like store name, online name, or what brand? Thank you!!! And your videos are REALLY helpful thanks!!
I get my capo in August but I'm to excited to wait so thank you for this😁
so much easier than what i thought...thanks :)
Thanks!!! I'm learning how to play and this will help me with finding my key to sing SMILE
Where did you get your guitar from? Its beautiful!
Oh thank you for this, i will not spend 13 dollars for a capo. especially when i can get it for like 2$!!! thanks so much!!
Can you do a recommendation for acoustic guitar strings please?
This is a lifesaver honestly
can you make a video on jake bugg's song me and you i love that song but i can't play that on my guitar and there is only one video on youtube that teaching chords but i cant understand that one
After u put the capo does counting the frets change and u start counting 1 from the next fret?
Hi(: i wanna ask a question of whats size should i get? Cause i was looing in to getting a concert size or an medium range size guitar. I just need more info on those two (: i really dont know what to get lol.
If you are on standard tuning and put a capo on and take it off will that make it half step ?
Thanks I want make another channel where I play the guitar and I really need a capo but I don't have the money right now and I just need to learn and this helps alot
Thanks you! I really needed a capo, and I hadn't got around to buying one. This was helpful!

OH MY GOD THANK YOU
i left my capo at my friends house and i need to practice my guitar GOD THANK YOU
It's just 4$ in India That too I am not sure If i should buy it Because my guitar is not a flat one, would the normal capo's work on my givson guitar which is a a little curved
"If u just have 20bucks laying around" 😭 lol I broke so I'm making one lol
Thank you! :) you've helped me a lot..
Emergency solved. Thanks! My metal tire pressure gauge didn't work, but a plastic cylindrical pen does the trick. Seems it's better to use something which can bend ever so slightly to match the curve of the fingerboard.
wow....i never think of an alternative....that's great i like it thanks
Miss, you are a person of ravishing resourcefulness.
This is really halpful thanks alot!
greetings from Denmark
ok what’s that example song you were playing i recognise it and it’s annoying me
this helped so much!!
Tnx a lot cuz I was planning to buy a capo but I don't want to like, waste my money. Never thought of this!! :)
That was so helpfull! Thanks! I love your tutorials!😊
I'm looking to buy one on ebay, not for much though as I have to pay for this with my own money and i'm trying to save up, would any be good?
ugh :( i cant put mine on, help! i have a live music guitar capo from amazon, does it matter?
Omg I love you for this video!!
REQUEST: Could you please do Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran, only if you'd like however x Love your videos and this is a great idea
this one will work in ukulele too?
Is this gonna affect on the strings?:3
Why would you put the pencil on top of the fret? You don't put a capo on top of the fret and you don't put your fingers on the frets.
THANNXX SO MUCH I LOVE UR VIDS!! This is so helpful
