Guitar capos

A guitar capo quickly and easily changes the key of your guitar. When you pop one on, it temporarily shortens your strings, raising the pitch. You can use capos on both acoustic and electric guitars. They essentially move the nut higher up the fretboard, allowing you to play first-position open chords anywhere along the neck. 

Guitar slides

One of the most distinctive sounds on the instrument, slide guitar is often associated with the blues. Guitar slides can be used for lots of different styles though, as well as on both electric and acoustic guitars. A smooth tool that’s usually made of glass, metal or ceramic, you can get a distinctive glissando or vibrato sound when you learn how to play slide guitar

Huge choice

No matter what sound you’re going for or which finger you’re going to use, we have lots of different guitar slides for you to choose between. You can also find a guitar capo that fits the bill among our selection of triggered, curved and partial capos. From Dunlop and D’Addario to G7th and Kyser, browse our selection of capos and slides to take your tone to the next level. 

FAQs

  • What pedals should every bass player have?

    Whilst there are many great bass FX pedals out there, four essentials that most players own are: tuner, compressor, octave, and overdrive/distortion.
  • Do guitar effects work on bass?

    There are many guitar FX that DO work on bass - some even have separate inputs for both Guitar AND Bass - but it's usually a better idea to buy pedals specially designed to cope with a bass guitar's lower frequencies.
  • How do I make my bass sound deeper?

    A Sub-Harmonic Generator - such as an EHX POG, or the MXR M288 - adds an extra octave below what you play on your bass, giving you a much deeper, and richer overall sound.
