So,

Capo de tutti capoes?  8)

Capoed?

Capoing? Or how about capoeing, like canoeing?

Maybe it should be spelled 'capoe'?

So what's the plural of squid?

Plural of Octopus? (Hint, it shouldn't be either English or faux-Latin; it's from Greek)

Is this etymology or entomology?

Is 'cephalopod' an oxymoron?  :o

I have a Taylor GS 6-string and spend a lot of time in Drop D tunings.  I've experimented with other tunings.  Just for grins, I tuned the whole thing a step low -- medium strings -- and it sounded lifeless.  I have no idea why.  It sounds GREAT in drop D or double Drop D.
