    So a while ago I bought a capo for about €1 from ebay but I lost it. Since I really like playing Slow Cheetah by RHCP and it is pretty hard playing that without a capo I would like to know whether someone has a recomendation for an affordale good quality capo?

    I never really used a capo, but is there really a point to buying an expensive capo? I mean all it does is pressing the strings down, no need to spend a lot of money on that. Please do tell me if i’m wrong though lol

    I can’t imagine any capo that can break a neck – those things really are seriously strong – but a capo with too much grip can certainly pull some or all notes sharp under normal use, so you dont want to have that. Dunlop makes a decent one-hand-squeeze capo that should do the job. I think they’re under $10 US.
