@Trevorkent I wouldn't think it's a Breedlove since Breedlove guitars have a pretty unique headstock and the only Breedloves I know that have a headstock kinda like that are the Retro series, but looking at the top and the bindings, it looks like a Taylor 814ce (could be wrong but it does resemble a Taylor more)
@Trevorkent Late response but this is his Taylor 714 maintained by Michael Bashkin. He used it before he got his custom Breedlove instruments and another made by McPherson.
@heiva he modded the capos so that they only cover a certain number of strings as you know... but i don't think the guitar as anything to do with it ;)
@Bajungadustin well whenever i put capos on my guitar it always makes them go out of tune. the rule of thumb when putting on capos is you always have to retune after putting one on, cause it puts alot more pressure on the strings than your fingers alone.
@wontonjohn321 suppose it depends on the guitar. my acoustic costs about 1000 dollars and i have never had to retune after putting on a capo... and ive been playing for 17 years.. and i use up to 3 capos at a time and still have never had a problem with tuning.. even when i check it afterward on a tuner and its still fine.
@EugenePoluyachtov no hes not. i play the song on my guitar and it looks exactly like the video, and everything correct. the lead guitarist of the band Severed Sun even said so because i know him. so stfu noob and play simething more suitable for u like a dildo.
@SEKing725 because stretching out the string results in a higher pitch. if you have a guitar, try fretting a note and press down really hard. you'll notice that the note will have a slightly higher pitch than if you were to press down normally. it's the same principle with a capo. if you were to use five capos, i wouldn't be surprised if the guitar went out of tune by a whole quarter step.
@wontonjohn321 each of the capos has cutout for the strings that need to resonate. and it's how you take them off the fretboard. also I think that guitar was custom designed/made for him.
@wontonjohn321 Because it's like having fingers on those frets. Unless there is a strong pressure pulling the strings away from the tuning knobs, the strings shouldn't go out of tune. Capo's are, again, like fingers. When you play the guitar, it doesn't go out of tune with bends unless you really crank on the strings. I hope that answers your question. Guitars are tough but they don't have to be specially made for capo's (not disrespecting heiva in any way).
@johnsonjesseguitar Just keep trying really... Come up with your own stuff. My buddy Luigi and I started doing this after he showed me Trace Bundy's dvd....awsome stuff
His guitar is like a hot girlfriend of 4 years and 7.23 months. He likes to tweak it as much as he can...before he has to get a new one...or she wants a new one. New guitar equals a new relationnship. The Capo is like a new hairdo or different makeup on his already hot girlfriend. Easy to do...and easy to get rid of, without loseing the girl. Hence...the Capo. A guitar makeover
I've met this guy and even seen him play live years ago. All his capos are different and are definately used. If I remember correctly, one of his capos have a whole drilled in it so that it skips over a string. They're custom made except for the lowest one. This guy is truely a genius...
@ tishcoco If you look at the blue one and the gray one, they only cover like 2 strings. gotta give him major props for thinking that far outside the box.
@Gabrielm79 you obviously dont play guitar... As you can see he plays around the capo's, tuning them to that tone wouldn't allow him to go lower on that string than his tuning.. Also these capo's are snare capo's in stead of capo's that cover the whole neck at once
@darktuning19 You can tune the guitar to play it.Except the finale as mentioned before by another user.In my first comment , i didn't see that he was removing the capos.(Didn't watch to the end)
@Gabrielm79 Well.. I'm thinking only because he would need to tune some strings very high. It might cause the string to either break, or for the guitar neck to have too much stress.
Tuning takes a little time to do, he runs just 1 guitar. Plus, he gets a little more variability with capos, as sometimes he'll lift the entire capo to get down a note depending on the song. Plus, he's sponsored by a capo company ;)
@foxfiremigra Most of his songs are either in DADGAD or standard... if you're like McKee or Hedges you tend to have the craziest tunings (C1C2DGAD, CGDGBA, C#G#DG#A#E, ECDGAD, DADGC4C4, etcetc. lotsa 'GAD's though lol) almost like learning chemistry for guitar. Only harder :P
@Gabrielm79 He has more variety this way. He has at least one string tuned up 7 steps, another 5...try doing that with straight tuning and you'll break your strings. Plus (as he often does) he can move or remove capos mid song, something you definitely can't do with tuning.
@cosmiccow77 well said, and if he tuned down an octave or so, the strings would be so loose he wouldn't nearly as fast and would sound like complete balls
All the people saying that there are show capos on there either don't play guitar or just don't know how to mod a capo. A "show capo" wouldn't be able to stay on the neck without muting the strings. The only capo that appears to be normal is the lowest one. The rest are either cut capos, or flipped over, or have some of the rubber removed so that it only mutes certain strings. It's very evident that they are all doing something because he takes them off one at a time and the tuning changes!!
Awesome but I have to agree with tishcoco. Only 2 capos are in play which would lead you to believe the rest are for show. Take nothing away from the guy though he's amazingly talented
@tishcoco He did it for the sound that he gets from playing between them. It's explained on his DVD. i saw it and wanted to just put my guitar down because this guy just amazed the hell out of me.
@justinosmond It's not just for the purpose of playing in keys. He's using the capos as part of his art form. You can play in any key without using capos, but you can you play that without using capos?
how the fuck do you write tabs for something like this...
