  • @SHTMusik
    Answered ALL my questions about this little gadget.
  • @samstamos427
    I'd be interested to know if one of these could be fashioned to only mute certain strings, like the bass E-A-D strings for example, so one could play the blues like Robert Johnson before mastering the palm mute.. I understand there are capos that are string specific. Nice video, great work Tom. All the Best!
  • @Boinzy476
    Some folks have had good luck with tennis racket vibration dampeners. Even the string slots line up for many guitars.
  • @possm33
    Interesting video, I personally liked the sound of the fingerpicking with the mute at the bridge.....I may have to invest in this...
  • @pwlebrun4573
    I could definitely see using it on an electric played thru a modulation pedal. It already had a slight ring mod sound to it. But chorused, or delayed, or to make a ring mod even weirder? Seems ideal for that. Especially in a studio situation or where you’re looking for inspiration.
  • @jimmcdougall9973
    To my ears, it sounds at its best with the nylons/classical guitar. Very useful. Thanks for the video.
  • @hollosphere
    I had never heard of a rubber bridge or this little doohickey. Fun! I like the muted fingerpicked sound.
  • @mhoop1
    ...i think maybe a 'chip clip' with some felt or maybe something to replace the foam....maybe egg carton material in the chip clip. probably make that for under $5 with what you have in the house. Edit- the 1st guitar made me think "that's what it would sound like in an anechoic chamber"
  • @landmanjan
    Interesting Tom, never seen this before, interesting 😮😮
  • I get the same tone when I place the capo in the wrong position. You're welcome! I just saved you $10 + shipping. 😉
