I got a new Capo for my Banjo!

[@rachaelearley1857]

Well, capo envy was never a thing in my life until now. Thanks a lot, Jim. 🙃

[@JimPankey]

Nice banjo... nice capo... you're worth it!

[@marcdunn7716]

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.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for hanging out!

Thanks for watching 😊

[@lauracrowe6702]

Lovely 🥰. I hope you are feeling better everyday ❤️. God bless 🙏

[@JimPankey]

Thanks. Feeling much better.

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.

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for the update. :)

[@arlumlightfinger]

I own the exact same capo and love it! It's worth every penny!

[@JimPankey]

Nice, right??

[@arlumlightfinger]

@@JimPankey It's the best. Place it behind the fret. Tighten and play. No "maybe a tad this or that way". It's ready. Just play.

[@FoolishFrankie]

“The gear is the gear” I love that

[@JimPankey]

Ain't it though? :)

[@MasonCroneMusic]

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.

[@JimPankey]

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...

[@rdr2gavin507]

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

[@JimPankey]

Hope you can get your banjo fixed soon!

Jim you probably just made this sell out at Banjo Ben Clark’s General Store !

[@JimPankey]

Maybe!

[@kevinfay4062]

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]

Yup! Grandpa Jones! Fifteen Cents is All I've Got!

[@kevinfay4062]

@@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.

[@shannonmaness6214]

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!

[@JimPankey]

I’ll certainly mention it to them. I’ll let you know.

[@tom-green]

Great video and great review Jim! Is that the standard model or the wide?

[@JimPankey]

Thanks. Standard

[@donaldfair4259]

Jim I noticed your tee shirt . 👏🪕 I just watched a video on the Heritage Capo . It’s rather impressive !

[@JimPankey]

Yes... That Heritage is a really nice capo for sure.

[@archtopp1]

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.

[@JimPankey]

They sell replacements: www.g7th.com/heritage-standard-width-replacement-string-pad-art

[@JoeBoppyBop]

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?

[@JimPankey]

The Kyser is not adjustable, so it generally goes on too tight and causes your instrument to go out of tune.

[@JoeBoppyBop]

@@JimPankey okay, yes that makes sense. Thank you Jim. I guess it is time to get a different capo.

[@GuruishMike]

Maybe someday, but I fear it would be wasted on me at this point in my progression.

[@JimPankey]

Sooner than you think...

[@marcdunn7716]

I don't suppose you know where we can find cheat a key suppliers that ship overseas Jim? Everyone's either out of stock or only deals with the U S.

I really don't know. Long shot... make friends with someone at a US military base... Then you can use their APO/FPO address...
