Struggling with tuning when using a capo - any advice?
Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2026 8:06 am
I play an acoustic guitar for church on Sundays and sometimes I have to use a capo. I noticed the strings lean sharp after applying the capo and so I have to tune the strings with the capo on between songs, which is very annoying during a live set. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an issue that’s unique to my guitar (do I need to fix something) or is there a trick to avoid this problem altogether? Thank you!
