Is it time to rethink what really moves your music forward? We’ve been asking those same questions at the studio—and it’s reshaping the way we invest, maintain, and create. There was a time when a cool piece of gear could really turn my head. I’d think, “If I had that, I could…”—and then fill in the blank with some idealized version of creativity or sound. I collected a fair amount of gear that way. Some of it earned its place. Some of it didn’t.
In the dynamic environment of song recording, bringing together musicians with varied backgrounds and skill sets can make for a richly textured project—one that also presents its own set of challenges.
Using a capo can be a game-changer for guitarists, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player. It allows you to easily change the key of a song without having to learn new chord shapes, making it an essential tool for adapting songs to your vocal range or adding variety to your playing. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use a capo effectively, show you how to select the right position to achieve your desired key, and share some tips on getting the best sound and performance from your capo.
“I’ve crossed lines because of the help and challenge of others, I feel like the studio is a catalyst for that challenge to be passed on.”
—Ron Flack
