Capo Question...

[floyd80]

Hey, here's a Capo question!  Do you put you capo on from the top of the fretboard (basically the open part, or the mouth of the capo facing down), or put it on from the bottom? I have always put mine on from the top, but i see that people do it both ways...

I don't think there's a right or wrong, just different. In 40+ years, I've always put on my Shubb capos from the bottom, so the opening is at the top. My friend has always done the reverse. I'm Polish, does that matter!?

I'd say personal preference unless there is script on the capo a la' my Thalia
