Wow this cats great. The future of guitar. I have a couple of his CD's. It's great to see a guitarist who is also a great musician. I've had enough of these finger tapping whammy barring assholes.

all you jazz school fags arguing over a capo shut the fuck up ! i never seen anybody come out of music school and ever be able to play anything !

Not the device is limiting, only your mind. If you do not use a capo, you are limiting yourself. If you have a reason for using one, use it, if not don't. You cannot play high melodies with a low G in the bass without capo or detuning, so not using one would be limiting. There are other examples for this.

I guess that could be interesting. I'm definetly not going to knock those great cats in Nashville. However, as a jazz player. I like the big fat sounds. Very usefull in a trio. A good player needs to know his or her voicings to make it full. A Bb is also a Gm6. Playing with Gm inversions and other subs for Bb can really open things up. You must be a good player.

I agree and disagree. A capo is restricting from a fretboard standpoint. And if someone is using it as a crutch to play in different keys then that is definitely a bad thing. However, like jmneon said it can be a useful tool in the hands of an experienced guitarist. Especially in the studio for layering guitar parts. Open strings sound bigger than closed voicings, so in a key such as Bb capo at VI and playing in G can make a part sound much fuller. Pro Nashville cats use them all the time.
