Therefore, if Dave has someone manually tune several guitars to different tunings, he will not need to use a capo. Ya follow me?
the only additional tunnings i've heard of dave using is drop d and raised B. both can be by emulated with capos but when they are they are limiting.

a capo is used so you WON'T have to retune your guitar if you want to play in another key but want to keep the same chord shapes. i don't know of anyone who retunes different guitars so they won't have to use a capo...because it's stupid

like you just said, its limiting to use a capo in something like raised b, so dave retunes other guitars so he wont have to use one... this conversation is retarded and going nowhere

yo momma

sorry you misunderstood

i meant that raised b was the only time he totally changes the tuning on the guitar and i DON'T think it's to compensate for a capo as it was implied by mister speen.

Those are all songs that are played on an acoustic that require a tuning different than standard. I am 90% sure he uses a different guitar even for Drop D. At least with the band he does, I'm pretty sure he changes it during Storytellers. As for Last Stop, I don't see why he would need to switch guitars, but you never know.

come on now

the only DIFFERENT tuning i saw there was the wierd one for busted stuff.
Drop D takes a second to tune and i've seen him do it several times.
the raised B tuning is on his baritone guitar
you cannot use a capo to emulate a gutar that is tuned down. well you COULD but it wouldn't be practical at all. so he doesn't use it instead of a capo.

now i thought you said he tuned his gutar different so he wouldn't have to use a capo and thats what i was trying to correct.

we're arguing about tuning

lol. So many threads go from on topic, to ½ on topic ½ offtopic, and then ultimately and inevitably to off-topic...lol

hmmm that was throwing me off.... but it proves my point!

you can't use a capo to emulate a baritone guitar!
