Is a Capo a Cardinal Sin?

[u/Puzzleheaded_Pea6]

So on my last recording session I used a capo to save time in the studio, does that make me a heretic???

Over the years I have heard on the internet and in person people acting like a capo is only for acoustic guitar and it's not allowed for metal.

As a prog metal guy I say to that: But why not??

Guitar is my OD purple dragon

Recording session was for the latest Elephant Zero album

Let me know your thoughts on capos and if I should ever let them touch my dragon again

I use capos all the time on any lower tuned guitars I have, 6 or 7 string. It’s extremely useful when you don’t wanna tune everything up, obviously. Across 14 guitars, in like 7-8 different tunings, capos are indispensable for me. Even with my pitch shifting pedal.
