Last year, when I polled the Worship Guitar Class Newsletter list, a number of people wanted to know how to use a capo. Here’s a brief 1 minute video with the basics, plus how to make a capo with common household objects.
In the next Volume of Worship Guitar Class I’ll be showing you how to make bar chords in different families up the fretboard. There isn’t space here to go into the details, but capos are great for playing with other guitarists. You can play the same chords but in different octaves. For example, when you’re playing an E chord another guitarist can play a D chord form with a capo on the 2nd fret. These are both E chords and sound great played at the same time.
Thanks for the capo tip as well as the time & effort you put into your website. The capo tip could be very useful in a pinch (pardon the pun).
I hope your blog site is a success. I also like your “Insights on Job”. Have you got any comments on the book of Esther? It is one of my favorite Bible stories & it almost reads like a novel.
The LORD sustains all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down.
Psalm 145:14
Dear Jean,
I liked the song ‘instrument of praise’ it is my desire one day to play praise and worship on my guitar… For now I’ll keep practicing (smile)

God Bless

Thanks Jean!
The capo video was a great help. I look forward to the next lesson.
I love the home-made capo idea!
Shalom, Jean!
Thanks for the video. Your pencil and rubber band emergency capo is better than the elastic ones they sell! Please know this new site is very much appreciated.
It is on my heart to ask how we could send offerings to help support the site. I have no idea how expensive it is to maintain one. Maybe add a link so one could donate even a small sum from time to time? I am sure many would be honored to also share some financially to further this wonderful ministry.

Yochanon,
You’re so sweet! I appreciate your consistent support. It’s honestly not that expensive to have a blog. What I do appreciate is prayer.
I’m filming Volume Four now and covet your prayers. Please pray over the filming, editing, etc, and that it would honor our Lord.
Blessings in HIM,
Jean
