If you condemn capos, might as well condemn alternate tunings as well.

I mean, if you aren't just simply able to play impossible voicing then you are a creatively exhausted artist, amiright?

The first capo known to mankind was invented in the mid 1700’s and this device was basically a single piece of brass which was bent to a C-shape. This piece of brass was pressed on to the selected instrument’s neck from the side and was held tightly in place by the brass piece’s own tension. This device was not considered to be ideal since it caused significant scratches on the neck, due to not having any padding. However, this was the start of creating better capos that ended up helping musicians play stringed instruments with ease.

In the late 1700s, two other types of capos were invented and these devices were called, the English yoke and the Spanish cejilla. The English Yoke got its name since it was shaped exactly like an egg yoke but had a crossbar padded along with that rested primarily on the strings. This type of unique capo was secured through a screw that was in the middle of the yoke, which pressed against the neck of the stringed instrument. In the case of some English guitars, the egg yoke capo had a screw that penetrated the neck of the guitar. The cejilla was shaped like a “little eyebrow” due to the shape of its string. This uniquely shaped capo was a large block made of wood that has a screw at the top and a string was threaded through a hole in this screw which was then looped around the stringed instrument that is guitar and tied to the other side. The capo was then fastened to the stringed instrument or guitar by the means of turning the screw and drawing the strings tighter.

Motherfucker is incensed about capos. Lol.

He plays the same Dsus2 to F to C progression on every single capo song too. He basically just fucks around with Dsus2, throws some quasi-spiritual lyrical dribble over it, and calls it a song.

when he doesn't try to 'perform' so hard, but rather just accompanies the music. even the shitty lo-fi muffled room recording works great because it degrades the details.

What an amazing progress: Within a short time from abanding the whole project to "5 master takes away from essentially being done". To release even a double album. Or was it a bunch of EP's...?



williampcorgan
Super productive session today. Here's a list of the song's I cut masters on: Neptulius, To Scatter One's Own, Cri De Coeur, Buffalo Boy, Dancehall, Hard Times, as well as attempting but not quite getting versions Martinets and Jubilee I liked. So, as you see, lots of singing and singing. But I'm 5 master takes away from essentially being done (foundationally speaking). Hopefully tomorrow... #wpc

How does one go from selling millions or records on the backs of monster hits to not even being able to keep a decent rhythm and hold a note vocally? It really just boggles the mind.

Why actually is he recording himself playing London Bridge, like he's some kind of children's entertainer or something

I feel uneasy

Is he going to release an album of preschool favourites?

This would be a new low.

In 5 years we might be seeing a pre-school favourites album as a relative creative high point

People will be picking over it on here saying it was crazy not to put Three Blind Mice on it, etc etc

"Rick Rubin's version of 'Three Blind Mice' would have been the biggest single we ever released, but it didn't fit the theme of the album."

His career basically posting dumb song names online that he will never release at this point.

Today I worked Roustabout. Muffins and Kitty Cat. The Coyote, Ham and Cheese, The Dolphin Sleeps.
