News in a local newspaper, in my city: last night, the artist (name doesn’t actually matters) played without a capodaster.
…aaa…OK.. I guess…?!!
I must tell you I was a bit surprised at first, WTF is that of any interest for any of their readers? I mean, I know that technique of writing the title as catchy as possible, to make people read the article, but still, that’s a stupid title in the whole context of the article.
The idea was that the lady (folk singer/guitar player) couldn’t find the capodaster so she had to play only those songs that she could actually play without trying to transpose them.
However, that was not a news, I was angry for losing time after reading this article and I was also curious, do people actually know what a capodaster is? I asked a coleague here. Nope! So I guess using such a “technical” term in the title of a generalist newspaper is also a mistake. Or it is not? Maybe people get curious to find out what she played without…
Say 10 times in a row: capodaster, capodaster, capodaster…
Now, again, what’s a capodaster?!

It appears as though we’re talking about a capo. Google it…

I know exactly what that thing is. I have one or two myself. But capodaster? Never heard that word in my life and I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years.

Well, it may not be widely used in English, we call it this way in Romanian (capodastru) and that’s the only word I know for it. I also have 1 myself but never really used it.

I used to play thrash on the electric, mainly metallica, slayer, megadeth, testament and stuff like that etc.. and in years of playing I never once had the need for a capo. When I took up the acoustic and started busking other peoples songs, I found they are totally essential to any acoustic guitarist. If I go out busking and forget my capo, it puts half my songs out of action. It’s a disaster. A capo-disaster…maybe that’s what they’re on about !

It’s someone saying Stratocaster…with a speech impediment.
