The Capo Podcast

Some folks are turned off of Capo because they feel that learning music by ear is difficult. Unless you're afflicted with amusia, which is unlikely, it's really not a tough skill to learn.

I recognize that folks are going to have some difficulty figuring out the process of learning music, and I would like to try and help them out. The best way I could imagine relaying the information is to do it on camera, and specific to Capo.

Of course, there are also plenty of Capo users who already know the basics of learning music by ear, or are quite comfortable with the process. For those folks, I hope to share some Capo tips that'll help them jump around the application much more quickly.

My plan is to have a few types of episodes: the core ear-learning material for beginners/intermediates, some tips/tricks that are specific to Capo, and some "in the trenches" videos where I demonstrate the use of Capo to learn real songs.

For the "in the trenches" series, I'll be featuring music by Jonathan Coulton, who has graciously allowed me to use his music in videos related to Capo. I'm so stoked about this, because I enjoy a lot of his material. If you, or anyone you know, is in a band who'd like their music featured in the lessons, let me know and I'd be happy to check it out and see if it fits.

So check out the first (HD!) video, which I've posted on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6mlvaVJyVY
