Just develop it and send me a free copy for testing. 8)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Rahul https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/paged/2/#post-310598 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/paged/2/#post-310312 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 22:28:37 +0000 Perhaps using a mechanical clip or magnetism or something?

Is your premise that there is often a need to drop and re-acquire a slide quickly (and repeatedly) during a song?

My gut feeling is that to sell, your invention would have to be more convenient to use as something like this. As well, as being a similar price increment above the cost of a normal capo.

I am not trying to shoot your idea full of holes, but rather to help you think it thru a bit further.
Who knows, this could make you your first million if it is well done and fully thought thru.
Or not. yeh basically this. i think i came up with the idea because i have been writing songs where i have been doing this sort of thing but i guess its not really going to be done that often by many people.
i have to go through with it now as im studying engineering and this is part of a big project that i have to do. but i would be interested to hear any ideas people have for any kind of tool for the guitar!]]> Guitar Players Discussion hydeparkhaz https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/paged/2/#post-310312 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/paged/2/#post-310288 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:58:48 +0000
It's a rare thing that I use a capo, though.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/paged/2/#post-310288 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/paged/2/#post-310281 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:33:37 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion cheesehead54 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/paged/2/#post-310281 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/#post-310275 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:43:40 +0000 Perhaps using a mechanical clip or magnetism or something?

But maybe I'm wrong, and you could corner the market with one at, say $7. You can't sell it direct to consumers; $7 plus shipping is more than the alternatives. Music stores wouldn't pay more than $5 for it, because they have to make money - and you'd still have freight and packaging. Distributors might buy in bulk, but they wouldn't pay more than about $3 (and they'll want 60-90 days open credit). You'd need to make some money too... so can you make one for less than a buck?]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/#post-310233 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/#post-310231 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:40:09 +0000 basically the two items will work on there own as normal but the slide will be connected to the capo. the slide will then be able to be removed from the capo while the capo is still on the guitar.
basically it will just make it easier to put your slide somewhere and then pick it up and start playing when using a capo.
e.g your in d and u want e so for ease of speed u use the capo on 2nd. then when u start using the slide its on the capo so you just pick it up and start playing as it will come off the capo while the capo is still on the guitar.
hopefully that makes it clearer]]> Guitar Players Discussion hydeparkhaz https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/#post-310231 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/caposlide-new-concept/#post-310218 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:45:00 +0000
