tweedy42 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I have seen a good few guitarists namely the Edge and the guy from Coldplay recently using some 'thing' ..creating an almost synth-like sound..think U2 without or without you. I am not being very articulate..but any help would be great.. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think you are thinking of an "E-bow." I second that opinion. General question: Can anyone recommend a good capo to use with a Tele? I use Kyser's on my acoustics and they seem to work excellent.However, when I use one on my Tele, it messes up the intonation. I have also tried a Dunlop strap type and it sucks to.

zoom Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) Shubbs are great. They take a bit longer to put on than a Kyser and you can't leave them clamped to the headstock like a Kyser, but they really center well on the fret and clamp snugly. http://www.shubb.com/capos/index.htm Edited November 11, 2005 by zoom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are electrics more sensitive to the pressure exerted on the strings than acoustics?It seems like tele's are extremely sensitive to capos, could it be the large radius neck or the style of bridge or a combination of the two?
