Purchased a C2B Shubb Capo

C2B shubb brass capo

    We purchased a C2B shubb brass capo on Amazon for $16.19.  We want to use it to play the A-D-E chords I am learning so I can have access to more songs using the same chord shapes I already know.  We picked it as it is real brass and and is shaped for 2.25 inches wide flat fretboards as on our classical guitar.  It is solid unplated natural brass which will develop a natural brass patina with use.  Its tightness is adjustable so its over center clamps are on just enough to play cleanly and yet to tight to stretch the nylon strings.  It is also designed so as not to pull the strings off center when clamping.

    1.4 ounces. 4 x 0.3 x 2 inches.  4.8 stars with 45 reviews on 1.4 ounces.  4 x 0.3 x 2 inches.  4.8 stars with 45 reviews on Amazon.  Machined and hand assembled in Missouri. 

    I look forward to learning to use the capo when I receive it. It will be my first capo for my new guitar hobby.

Practicing the A-E-D chords

While Kathy has been working on the D-C-A and G chords,  I have been practicing the A-E chords daily using lessons from the Andy Guitar video lessons.

  I hope it is ok, but I like the way he does the A chord in the How to change between E & A chords on guitar so as to keep the pointer finger traveling on the same G string during the transitions.

   The next step I am thinking on is learning Paperback Writer by the Beatles using the E and A chord.  I will be purchasing perhaps this Cappo set soon(2pk) so Kathy and I will have one for each guitar to be able to play more songs.

   Than perhaps go on to add the D chord using the E, A & D chord changes video to open up more songs.
