Having a tough time pressing the strings? Experiencing fret buzz? In this video, I’ll show you a simple trick to make your guitar WAY easier to play using a capo.

If you’re struggling with finger, hand, or wrist pain, this technique can help build endurance and allow you to play longer without discomfort.

We’ll cover how placing the capo on different frets changes the feel of the guitar and makes it easier to practice, tune, and play.

🔗 Need a capo? I’ll show you how to make one with a pencil and rubber bands. Link here: https://goodguitarist.com/how-to-make-your-own-capo-for-guitar/
