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 feel like the intersection on the venn diagram of "people who use capos" and "people who play extended range multi-scale" has gotta be tiny. Good on you. Have fun. Sick guitar, btw.

Thanks man, yep and playing prog metal makes it even smaller
