G7th Performance Guitar Capos

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 15:48:48 -0500

Professional product designer, and avid guitarist Nick Campling designed the G7th guitar capos after years of struggling with the existing capos, which can often be awkward to attach, and can throw the guitar out of tune when in place due to non-uniform spring pressure. Like all capos, the G7th Performance Capo is attached to the neck of a guitar in order to change the key in which it is being played. However, the G7th Performance Capo is the first capo to use a wrap spring clutch in its design, which allows the capo to be effortlessly attached to the neck at any desired pressure simply by squeezing it closed by hand, as if playing a bar chord. The capo is then simply released by pressing a switch on the side of the capo.

This application of the wrap spring clutch is actually patented by Reell, making this capo a true one of a kind. The G7th is designed to be a "performance" guitar capo, which ensures it meets the highest standards a guitarist can expect, even if it pushes the price up slightly. The G7th has also eliminated another problem with most capos by making it the most sleek and attractive capo on the market.

Now, G7th have totally SIX different kind of capos, -

1. Standard Performance 2. Thin Performance 3. Classical Performance 4. Twelve String Performance 5. Banjo Peformance and 6. Nashville Capo

Jellifish Guitar Pick

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 16:04:30 -0400

Much like a "Capo" or a "Slide", the Jellifish guitar pick is a mechanical device that is used on your guitar (or any other stringed instrument) to create new and unique sounds. The Jellifish looks similar, and is used in the same manner as a conventional guitar pick, but by no means is meant to replace it. It merely provides a new experience of playing your 6 string electric or acoustic, by creating 3 different sounds.

Types of sounds

Chorus! is said to sound similar to a 12 string guitar or chorus pedal - listen
Pluck! is said to sound like a hammered dulcimer or music box - listen
Bow! is typically compared to the sound of a cello - listen

The Jellifish is not recommended on Nylon strings, but will not wear steel strings any faster than a normal guitar pick. The Jellifish guitar pick is available in many music stores and retails for around $10.

Intellitouch PT-1 Instrument Tuner

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:19:10 -0500

Unlike most tuners, the Intellitouch does not use a microphone or cables to tune instruments. It attaches to the headstock of your guitar (or on whatever instrument you use) and uses the vibration of the instrument to help tune your guitar, making this tuner ideal for use in a loud environment for trouble free tuning. The Intellitouch has an easy to read LED screen that can be swiveled for easy viewing, or to be placed out of the way. The PT-1 (unlike the lower model, PT-2) also features a back light for it's LED screen making the display easy to read in very low light, such as in many live gigs. The only other differences between the 2 models is the PT-1 also comes with a carrying case, and has the ability to "learn a tuning reference" from another instrument, which can be useful when playing along with instruments that cannot be tuned easily (such as a slightly off key accordion, or air organ).
