What makes a GOOD capo? (my non-negotiables) 

I love my Katz Eyes capo. No problems with the threads. Have a Dave Elliott too, but the leather pad fell off rather quickly and I haven’t fixed it yet.

Just a user's experience..Kat Eyz capos (handmade by Phil Wyatt) have never bound up on me and I have 3. Phil is a great guy and will actually custom make your Capo if needed. My favorite by far and I have many that are much more expensive!

Kyser capos all the way for me, used them for years. Inexpensive, never had problems with intonation or tuning, easy to park on the headstock when not in use, and their cut capos are fun too.

I picked up The Glider capo from Franklin Strap last year. Sadly, it's not one-handed and not brass. It is $30, rolls/ glides up and down the neck, and works well for me. I appreciate the run through capoland. Thanks!

I love my John Pearse "Ol' Reliable" brass capo as well... not sure if they're still being made.

Kyle, I recommend the Ernie Ball Axis capo. It is double edged - one side for contoured fretboards, the other for flat fretboards. So two in one. It snaps on quickly and works well. No adjustment but a clever concept. They sell here in the UK but I don’t know about the US. I really like your channel. Always entertaining and quirky.

Elliot capos (expensive one) are leagues above anything else. I have 2. Pretty sure I've tried all the commercially available ones and most of the small boutique brands too. I'm a capo nut!!! However honestly i keep using my Thalia capos the most. They're heavy, big, clumsy but i just like them and they do work pretty well too.

Thanks for the capo demo, I have the first capo I bought years ago, recently I bought a G3 capo I paid like around 45 bucks for it, it's ok and it works but it's nothing great. If it was something I used every day I would continue searching, but I'm good for now I have a buddy I play fairly regular with and most always use the capo with him

Yes g7, ..lol typo

It's always the discontinued models, smh. Cool rundown though!

I am so happy to see more than the Shubb. (I've four of those.) I share an appreciation/affinity for vintage/steampunk esthetics, but clean and tidy. No Kaiser style in my home...nope! Thanks for the Jake Eddy reference. Guitar Camp 30+ minutes of joy...B. Sutton, B Strings... sooo many! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OINv0epg288.htmlsi=dgaTydJALc4jlgbz Piano lessons this morning were challenging. I jumped up and shouted to my 25 year old music teacher, "I gotta play sumpthin' with 6 strings on it! She let me play her 6 string banjo to reset me from the dozen or so offerings on the walls of her studio. I'm gonna look up the R. Crumb style T-Shirt now... thanks Kyle! P.s. this afternoon's gift, Surfside Bar and Grill here in Mound, my friend and manager oh the hardware where I work will be singing and playing acoustic for 3 hours. 40ish... I've jammed with him on occasion now for 15 years. Long post... forgive please. Old musicians just blather on... ok... T Shirt!

Bummer about the cats eye capo. Doesn't Reverb have some policy about defective items? It's like Shakespeare said... nobody ever sold a used car because it was running too well🤔
