    OT: Capos on your balls

    Hey,

    Do you folks ever use capos on your Balls? I was working on a Blues song in C, and I think I would like to try use a capo to get the second octave on my 22 fret SS. I have just never used on before.

    Any recommendations? I doubt it is an issue, but could they damage the neck?

    I like the G7th capos. I've never had a problem with them marking up the neck.

    That actually sounds too painful to think about...

    I've done it before though... for a blues song in F. I don't see why it would cause problems...

    Any recommendations on one to use on a Silhouette? Most of the ones I find are for acoustics.

    Did somebody mention Kyser? Only thing is that if you want to clip it on a classical it don't quite reach.
