Screamingfloyd it is just a hairband that is slid down to mute out excess noise when tapping or sweeping,and where it is on the neck is irrelevant once below the nut as it only has enough pressure not to let open strings ring out. See even a pro can learn something new.

What kind of Capo are you using in the second video behind the nut to play in the key of C/G ? I've been looking everywhere for one and no one has one.
Dunlop has one thats simular , but the one your using looks soft like a hair band. JP uses one as well, I cant even find them online. Nice guitar work.

JP uses one up the fretboard as a Capo. It does look like a hair band though.

Behind the nut puts the guitar in the key of C/G I have the cloth Dunlop kind.

I could never find the kind JP uses though. This guy does not have it behind the nut for looks or for just storing it there. He is in the Key of C/G. It's a working capo.

When you put a Capo, At least the dunlop strap capo behind the nut. It puts the guitar in the key of C/G , You didnt know this? Trust me I'm a profesional:)

Here it is. Put this behind the nut and it changes the guitars key to c/g LMAO !!!

Hey, it's just a hair band, it isn't affecting the tuning at all, it isn't my guitar either :p I borrowed it from Jan Cyrka, you can see Alex Hutching play it on a few videos too!

well its hard to bend behind the nut if ya have a Hair Band there ! :D

Dude... It's okay to admit you were wrong.

As a "professional", you would be aware that the capo itself acts as a moveable nut. There are plenty of slideable/moveable capos that actually store behind the nut and as such have no affect on the tuning while stored there.

But as other have pointed out and there are certainly none that I am aware of, which would appropriately account for tension, intonatation and overall tuning behind the nut. You would need something like the D2H tailpiece or that beast Justin Hawkins has with a one-off custom build highly adjustable bridge to do that.

Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. I have made my fair share of bad calls around here, everyone has, but there is no need to be defensive or maintain your position when you are clearly wrong. Take your lumps, you made a bad call and you were wrong. It's all good, not the end of the world. Haha you should have seen my customer service threads when i first joined the forum :rolleyes:;):)

Sorry for the hijack Mike! :eek:
Tasty playing as always and keep them coming, I won't get sick of seeing the luke anytime soon :D
