Is there a reason Dave doesn't use capos?

Why don't you just buy a smaller scale guitar? most guitar manufacturers offer that as an option on at least a few of their models, like taylor i know has a few 21-23" neck models.

I thought about doing that. . I think sometime in the future I will. But right now I'm using lighter strings. That helps a lot.

i use lighter strings too because i also have puny hands. it has never really affected my playing that i can remember, it just makes things a liiiitle harder and a little bit of a longer reach. i have a martin and the neck on it is thinner than most guitars i've played. taylor necks are thicker and wider, or at least that's what i've found with the ones i've played.

umm....the size of frets have absolutely nothing to do w/ sexism or the size of the average hand. it's designed for precision to make every fret to raise the frequency half a step. but if you were being fasicious, then cool

Guitars definitely could've been made smaller. There's actually a company that makes smaller guitars for people with smaller hands aka women. . .

...are we talking about the length between frets or the width of the neck?

Space between the frets. I've never had a problem with the width of the neck because I can move my hand to where the width of the neck is no longer a problem. It's stretching my fingers four frickin' frets. .

But I did change my strings to 'Uber Slinky' kind, it's a lot easier to play. I think I had really shnitty strings on it. D'Addario, I assumed they'd work for me considering their violin strings are the best there are. . I was wrong.

The piece I'm having the most trouble with is the last guitar riff or line, in the intro to #41. I'll probably have it down in a day or two, afterwards, I will record it and subject myself to you dudes criticism.

well why does Dave need to use a capo when he can easily just buy another guitar like its a candy bar..

I happen to think D'addario makes the best guitar strings as well.

Looks like somebody will be getting a letter from me about making sexist guitars not designed for my hands.

[charliemike]

Well we know he OWNS one.

He doesn't use it much though, apart from those mentioned above, i can't think of any other.

Your english is improving maestro!

Capos and retuning your guitar aren't really related...
