How to Use a Banjo Capo 

Really helpful introduction to the railroad spikes :-)

I'd be so lost if this guy was my teacher

Thanks for this! I didn't even realize I was doing it wrong - using it like a guitar capo and needlessly pulling strings out of tune

Hi Jeff I bought your books and use them every day! Great instruction manuals, easier than Earl whatshisname book.

Geoff is a high tech banjer picker.. that's his "Palm Pilot" Great for notes when paper ain't around. :)

Several hours to put a capo on....come on!

Thank you so, so much for this video! ☺️ I never knew about those little spikes, I thought they were just for decoration! Haha So useful!! Thank you again!❤️

Just after the 9 minute mark, he said he's at the 7th fret for the key of B. But wasn't he really on the 9th fret?

I have a Shubb Capo, which can be Flipped Around the Opposite Way to do the 5th Fret +. And because I have an Old Framus Banjo, which the String Spread is Even due to No Graduated Widening Down the Neck, when Using my Reagan 5th String Capo, I had to Sandpaper the [soft] Brass to make the String Slot Entry Shorter, as the 4th String was Hitting the 5th.

Very useful information. Thanks!

Several hours to learn how to put on a capo?

Great lesson! Thanks!

Terry is no longer making the Reagan capo but you can try our Strum Hollow capo based on the Reagan design strumhollow.com/collections/banjo-capos/products/5th-string-banjo-capo

Thanks so much for this.

Oh yes it fits C!

Slotttttt!! Lol

What song is he playing at the beginning?

If it takes you a few hours to capo, you should consider a different instrument

I put my capo on in 1.6 seconds, I must be a genius

What brand capo is this?

Way too much overcomplicated. You put on a capo, just before the fret then tighten it. Loosen the strings before then tune your instrument with the capo ON. I got angry watching the man babbling with the capo tension...

what the hell does he have written on his hand?
