Joined a new band, and when learning cover tunes it really speeds things up by easily playing reference music for each song the band is learning = so we capture the origial tune's groove.

Been using just a house Fender Princeton Reverb Custom (with Celestion 12" Greeenback)  and small pedal board.

Its been very easy to just stream the tune we are learning  from my smartphone into this W-KING D8 Portable outdoor (Beer proof) Bluetooth Speaker.

If you play frequently, and play different guitars,  you break strings and often end up with several open sets of similar  gauge strings , but it gets tough distinguishing E,B,G strings in string boxes that now have just 4, 5 strings left

Sort them at home  by measuring their actual gauge with this

G7 Capo.

I play twice a week these days, and I hate capos, as most throw the guitar out of tune, and slow the show .

I had been using a D'Addario  Ned Stenberger Tri Action
capo, but recently recieved a

G7th Performance 3 Capo with ART.

Amazing, as the G7 Capo design auto conforms to your guitars fretboard radius, and after a few minutes of use , its a joy to be able to slap the G7 capo on any fret along the neck and play specific guitar parts in tune -  Lifetime Warranty = no wonder they cost more

Highly recommended!

I'll have to check out a G7.
I've got a Ned too. It's better than some, but still requires time to tune with (and after) use.
I've never managed to figure out how people that move a capo 4 or 5 times a set manage to do it without stopping to tune all the time.


Segovia said "Guitarists spend half of their lives tuning, and the other half playing out of tune."

That seems optimistic to me.......
