All About Guitar/Ukulele Capos - Find the Perfect Capo for You

[@JB-fv2dy]

I thought all capos are the same 'til i watch this hahaha

[@OneMusicSchool]

I hope this helped you. I know that there are so many different models and makes out there, and it can be confusing.

[@SeanVplayer]

Rock class 101 also recommended the G7 capo. As you said though, they Are expensive. If I find a need for a capo though, I think that's the one I'll get. Based mostly on your recommendation. Thanks again for your informative posting.

[@OneMusicSchool]

I love Andrew from Rock Class 101! I'm glad that you found this helpful, and let me know which one you end up getting 😀.

[@ShrinkhalaKushwaha]

I have the C-clamp capo. You're right when you say they don't break. I've had mine for 4 years now.

[@OneMusicSchool]

That's awesome!!!

[@MW-xj4vy]

Good morning, friend. Always look forward to your Thursday posts! Who knew there was so much to learn about capos! When I get to that point in playing, I think I'll go with the capo with the humanitarian benefits.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Oh thank you! You're so sweet, and I'm so grateful for your support 😀. I love my G7th capo, and I was floored when I saw the back of the package. Knowing that a company stands for something more than just a great product always gets my vote as well. I hope you have a great day!

[@adenashly12]

This was so useful, my uncle had put one of these on my ukulele and I didnt know how to take it off until I saw how you were holding it and everything, thank youuuu

[@RamblingsfromCanada]

Shopping for a guitar capo today, and remembered you did this video! Exactly what I needed! Thanks so much, Katie! 😘😊

[@renacorey5728]

Thank you this is very helpful! That G7 capo is AWESOME! ❤️💕 I love your shirt! 😊

[@OneMusicSchool]

It is really cool, and I love it. I did have to save to buy it, but it's worth it. I got mine on sale😁.

[@johnwolf7073]

awesome video as always ! :) i learn guitar and ukulele only from the internet , so i dont know alot of stuff :p i whould love if you could make more videos like this one ! :)

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm glad this helped you and that you want to see more videos like this one. It helps me plan.

[@Charcharazard]

i have the little black c clamp capo you showed for my ukulele. I like it because the top part isn't bulky at all and doesn't get in the way as much when i'm playing. also, it's tiny and fits easily in my ukulele case.

[@arc1105]

Thanks for the info Katie. Choose one!?! Like the G7's mission, Like the small rubber bandy one for a outdoor uku. Like the c-clamp for the price. Like the video for the knowledge :) I'll check the links. A thankful Thursday to you Katie.

[@Nova03333]

I have a really stiff capo it was my dads he never learned to play guitar so I use it for my uke and I’m really proud of my self cuz after only having a ukulele for three days and practicing for two I learned riptide

[@juli3054]

I have a original capo, It was around 4 dollars and it works pretty well!

[@lumosmaxima7258]

My first capo was a original one which I'd pay 6 euros. The one that I have now is a Boston clamp capo that I use also for the concerto ukulele, but it works anyway and I pay 15 euros!

[@gingerbeer914]

Boston capos are OK. I gave mine to my keyboard player as a birthday present. Prices went up 50% since then.

[@ltmack173]

Hi Katie; I just recently ordered from amazon the Planet Waves PW-CP-12 NS Ukulele Capo Pro. Really like it. Made of aluminum, and lightweight. Small enough not to interfere with chord finger placements.

[@mr.non-existent8137]

This is very useful! I have a guitar capo but I don't like using it much because its too big for my uke, and makes some chords hard for me to execute. I couldn't find a ukulele capo on the music stores nearby so I had no choice :(

[@OneMusicSchool]

I know what you mean. They're just too big for the little ukulele.

[@slytherlily]

I love how you brought up the toggle capo! That's the only capo I own at the moment that I found in my uncle's old guitar case that is definitely over 30 years old. It still works, but I find it doesn't work as well with my ukulele compared the the classical guitar I found it with. It's also finicky, especially if I wanted to use the capo to do a quick key change in a song. Thanks for the advice to help me find a new capo to fit my style! :D

[@OneMusicSchool]

Nice! I've seen them around, and I have a very, very old one that came in a vintage guitar case. I'm happy that this helped you. Let me know which one you decided to buy :).

[@slytherlily]

I ended up getting a kyser quick change capo for banjo/ukulele. I figured it's good for now since I'm still a beginner. Thanks for your suggestions! :D

[@seasonciriello]

Thank you so much for doing this video! This is very helpful.

[@sandynguyen1059]

I've watched a few videos and my worst fear is to have a dent in my neck. Are the ones with the knob better so you can control the tension?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Yes, adjustable tension Capps allow you to control the pressure 😀.

[@Murk.mp4]

Them lady guns 💪 were distracting lol

[@OneMusicSchool]

Hahahahah! Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@asmrbutterfly7466]

I love the shubb capos

[@tahirajamal8097]

Thanks for the video Katie. I had the same question!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm glad this helped. Hopefully you'll be able to find the right one for you.

[@tahirajamal8097]

One Music School yeeet ❤️

[@suzuke1185]

This is really helpful😄😄😄 Thank U!

[@OneMusicSchool]

Yeah! I happy this helped you 😀💕💕.

[@moonharp]

Shubb does make an uku capo now. Gets good reviews, comes in several colors. I still think I'll go with the G7th uku capo.

[@HiThereImFootloose]

The amazon review says the G7 ukulele capo doesn't actually fit a lot of ukuleles... which is a problem I'm assuming.

[@savannalamb02]

Love this video 💕💕💕

[@OneMusicSchool]

YEAH!!!!! Thank you for watching, and I'm glad that you liked it!

[@hannahvarner8646]

Thank u this was very helpful

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm so glad that this helped you 😀💕💕

[@thisisitecharro6909]

i love it. You make it easier for me now. 😊Thanks.

[@OneMusicSchool]

That's such good news. I hope this narrows it down to a couple of choices 😁.

[@lowercentenary]

So can you use a capo on the 5th fret of a guitar to turn it into a uke and then another capo to give it different keys?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Essentially, yes 😀. Your guitar uke would just have two extra strings. Thanks so much for watching!

[@lowercentenary]

@@OneMusicSchool thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

[@mikhailbulgakov1472]

I see that you put your capo in a diagonal. Is there a reason to do so? Does it give a different sound than a capo that is put as close to the fret as possible and vertically.

[@vinayraoj94]

My student bought me the capo from Singapore. From his Dad's Music Store.

[@TheShaniel]

I use a Red TGI spring loaded capo. I picked it up at a local music shop for £15, I've had it for a year now.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Nice! I've never heard of it, so thanks for leaving a good suggestion 😀.

[@OUTDOORSWITHDOMINGO]

Nice video & Is that a Martin DX1 ? if so we have the same axe ha ha !! def going to look for the C clamp Capo in the banjo version ( Shubb ) for my Colombian Cuatro ,I have the guitar version of the Shubbs deluxe & a spring loaded one too . I like both but def the Shubbs is a better capo style .

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked the video. I love shubb capos, so I do t think you’ll be disappointed 😀. I’ll have to check out the spring loaded capo! That sounds awesome.

[@OUTDOORSWITHDOMINGO]

@@OneMusicSchool I just checked and have a Shubb C2 & it just fits the cuatro ,ha,ha so a Cuatro can use a Shubb C2 & a cuatro is about the size of a Ukulele Baritone = 30 inches lenght .

[@OneMusicSchool]

That’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing the new possibility 😀😀😀.

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

I'm getting that last capo thank you Katie.

[@gregsullivan3668]

Will the ukulele capos fit a baritone uke or do I need to move up to a guitar capo?

[@oopsie2439]

What about a rosewood capo for classic guitar?

[@kaycx6189]

Hi, sorry about this, I'm probably being dumb.... but what is the purpose of capos? Is it supposed to help you raise the song by an octave or something? Also, why would somebody use capos? Thank you so much, and I find your videos really helpful. Thanks!

[@gingerbeer914]

It's because this way we can adapt our instruments to the limitations of the singer.

[@jaimebenvenutto7971]

does someone know a cheap ukulele capo thats easy to use when your moving your hand for the chords?

[@OneMusicSchool]

I love the planet waves c clap capo. It's only $8 US.

[@CplcDesbiens]

Hi, can a guitar capo be use for ukulele or do I need a specific size for ukulele?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Good question. Technically yes, but there have been some drawbacks that I’ve experienced. Whenever I have used a guitar capo in a pinch on my ukulele, I find that it does the job but gets in the way. Because the capo is longer the width of the fretboard, I find that it gets in the way when I want to pivot my wrist to play certain chords. I end up bumping against it, and it becomes difficult to play. Also, some of the guitar capos that I’ve used in a pinch on my ukulele have weighed the ukulele neck down. That’s just my experience. I have several different ukulele capos, and I find them to be more comfortable. I hope that helps, and thanks for watching 😀.

[@CplcDesbiens]

@@OneMusicSchool thank you very much for your fast anser.❤

[@xernarax3032]

Would a c clamp guitar capo also work for ukuleles?

[@kaymadrigal9085]

Hi Katie what kind of capo is good for ukulele because i'm just staring pls reply because i don't really know 😊 thank you from Philippines

[@vonfluffenstein]

Hi. I have a guitalele, what kind of capo could I use for that? The same as for the biggest ukulele?

[@gingerbeer914]

That depends on the width of the neck. I use a B-Byrd ukulele capo. Later I saw their capos under the Ibanez brand, so maybe Hoshino is the new owner. The prices went UP, that's for sure. I paid €6.95 for the small one. The alternative would be a classical guitar capo, because there is no radius involved.

[@gingerbeer914]

up

[@vonfluffenstein]

@@gingerbeer914 Thanks for the tip! :)

[@echoo018]

Thank you to this video...... Now I know

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thank you for watching :). I'm glad it was helpful.

[@ericschmidt8277]

Thank you!

[@jeffgermain5937]

I’m just starting out to keep up my guitar from 2 years of having it I buy this kyser capo for 12 strings but my guitar is 6 does it really matter I just pick the first one is see which was $23

[@gingerbeer914]

No, it doesn't matter. The radius is the same I will stick out a little bit. If you own 6-strings and 12-strings you need only one capo.

[@BlackPhoenix907]

Thalia capo for the win

[@OneMusicSchool]

Nice :).

[@potatoeplayz6353]

can you use a guitar capo on a ukulele?

[@OneMusicSchool]

You could and I’ve seen it done. It just might be too big or the tension might be too tight for the uke and pull the strings out of tune.

[@potatoeplayz6353]

One Music School thanks!

[@gingerbeer914]

Only if it's flat (classical).

[@riny646]

#notificationsquad 💕 can you please do a tutorial on the A Love so beautiful OST it’s really popular now at my country ( philippines 🇵🇭) and I really want to learn the song 😁

[@person9575]

OMG YES I LOVE THAT SONG 😍

[@bree2875]

yay pinoys 😁😁

[@Picciotta1974]

I use Thalia capo for my acoustic guitar and I love it! It’s robust and a bit chuncky but you don’t have to put it right next the fret to have the optimum pressure on the strings. Plus, the part that comes in contact with the strings is made in silicone and it is interchangeble to match the fretboard radius. Moreover, you can move it up and down the neck easily and it’s simply beautiful: it comes in chrome and wood inlay but there are tons of models. It is a bit expensive (mine was about 70€) but it definitely worth it!

Need a capo for classical guitar. Pls reply

[@gingerbeer914]

Buy a Shubb Classical.

[@josephineester7143]

Are all capos can be use to ukulele?

[@gingerbeer914]

No, only flat ones.

[@thisisitecharro6909]

is it okay to purchase it from online?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Yes, buying a capo online is usually what people do if they don't have a store near by. Just make sure it has a great return policy just in case it doesn't work out or come damaged in the mail.

[@gingerbeer914]

It's better to support your local music store and test it on your instrument.

[@elishaerika9137]

can i use a guitar capo for ukuleles

[@gingerbeer914]

Only if it's flat.

[@Greg-vd5om]

Great video, Katie...I have an idea......How about an edible Capo?...Would that also be food for thought?...Sorry, too early in the morning for me....:)

[@OneMusicSchool]

Mmmmm. What flavor would it be 😂😂😂?

[@Greg-vd5om]

Capochino?...(coffee)

Hello Katie. Great video! Could u please do a tutorial for Chasing Fire by Lauv I’m in love with the song and I really want to be able to play it on my ukulele

[@OneMusicSchool]

I've never heard of it, so thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to be honest when I say that I don't know if I'll have time to get to it, but I do appreciate you sharing and leaving a request 😁.

[@SSJmusics]

im great.........my ukulele progress is going on quite fast.....thanks

[@gingerbeer914]

A capo that broke after 11 years? I bet it was just the spring. I never broke a capo in my life, and I've been playing for almost 50 years. They should sell replacement springs.

[@tylerjoseph8402]

Can a capo for guitar be used for ukulele?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Sure. It just might get in the way or pull your strings out of tune, but I’ve seen it done before.

[@gingerbeer914]

Only if it's a flat one.

[@yeetzer4685]

Glider Rolling Capo

noo you didn't annoy me! i promise! :)

[@mohgt6955]

Can you use a spring loaded capo on a classical guitar?

[@OneMusicSchool]

You would need one that is specific for a classical guitar because the fretboard flat and not radiused. 😀
