I generally don't play with a capo often. I did when I first started to play, but then learned a little about transposing. Now that I'm playing with my church band, there are some songs that just work better with a capo. If I can comfortably transpose I always do. If transposing a song makes my head hurt and leaves me with difficult chords to play, then I'll use the capo. Depending on the order of the songs in the service, I sometimes have to switch back & forth with the capo on the fly. I did get a tuner pedal so I can mute my output and put the capo on & off quietly.
Right now I use a Kyser ukulele capo. All in all it's easy on & off and works decently well. But as with most capos, it sure gets in the way. Does anyone have a capo suggestion that's easy on & off and not as much in the way? Has anyone used a Thalia capo? They are pricey, but seem smoother across the frets and not as much in the way.
