You're videos are the best Jim. It feels like we're just sittin with you, having a beer and shooting the breeze! Very down to earth thanks for the post.
I like the capo, just had the shock set in though! Just finished the first ten beginner lessons, working through them a second time for accuracy and clarity in my CC, Cabbage & Hollow. I have to rest my social finger as my pads are as yet not developed enough - I been overdoing it! I have a Epiphone banjo belonging to my spouse. It was lying about and I grabbed it when watching lesson one. Looking at a Gold Tone open back as a possible future present. I love the sound, & fancy learning a little old time and possibly some Irish trad. Loving the huge resource of lessons. I get a wonderful choice of songs and ditties. Many, many thanks. I'll see you again really soon.
Cool video! I never really understood the difference between cheaper and more high end capos. That's really cool that you just slide it on and everything is good. I have a Paige and I just put it on pretty tight and then retune. It works, but something like that would be cool to look into someday.
Yeah, the Paige works fine, but you have to be careful not to over tighten when you're trying to get even contact on all the strings. That's why I demonstrated the rocking trick that I use. Ultimately, it's just about allowing yourself to enjoy enjoy nice gear and not find yourself always looking for the cheapest thing to use and get by with...
I wish I could still play my banjo but it broke and I can't get a knew one for a while I started learning from you so thank you for helping me learn hope one day I can get back to picking
I bought the Heritage and i sent it back as you can't replace the rubber and no one has a replacement. Heritage told me that it won't wear out and i just sent the capo back. Yes, it's made well but i have owned many capos...i have 2 Mckinney's and an Elliot and the sleeve has to be turned and replaced. My Shubbs need to have the rubber replaced after constant use.. Just my 2 cents.
Great information - thanks! I have a G7th capo for my acoustic guitar and I really like it, so I'll need to check that one out. Is that Grandpa Jones on the wall in the background?
@@JimPankey Dollar's all I crave - fifteen cents to buy me a drink and a dollar to dig my grave. Grandpa Jones was my late father's favorite banjo player when I was growing up. My favorite is Raining Here This Morning. Oddly enough, he plays guitar in that recording and not the banjo.
Hey Mr. Jim, Do you think or know if G7 has any plans for a gold version for standard banjo? They make these for the guitar but I don't see them for banjo. I have a new gold banjo that I would like one for.. Just thought you might know as you are "the man"! Thank Jim for all your content!
Jim, I use a kyser capo on my Gold Tone OB-3.I find that I have to retune every time I use it no matter how careful I am putting it on. Is this a flaw in the Kyser, or is it always necessary to retune when using a capo?
