We're a little off tempo, and my guitar has a shite capo on it. (In before holist.)

Come on, dude, you did ask for it. I'm not going to do it again.

I'll admit the flaws of this performance. I include it because I think it's a pretty good vocal performance. And I was being snarky here. Gotta admit though, it was a funny comment.

Truth be told, I bought a new capo after this. That one was pissing me the fuck off.

There's a reason for that. Medieval instruments often have coursed stringed instruments. A 6 string guitar has one course, meaning there's only one of each string. 12 strings and mandolins are 2 coursed. Matter of fact, a mandolin is basically a two-coursed violin played with a pick instead of a bow. Lutes have 3 courses. That would hurt my fucking fingers.

I'm afraid that's somewhat wrong. A "course" is a group of strings that are close together and are fingered and plucked together. Instrument with sets of three are quite rare (probably due to the finger-hurt factor). A three-course lute would have three pairs of strings, and in fact a twelve-string guitar has 6 courses. Lutes come in very many shapes, sizes and string configurations, but most of them have two-string courses with the exception of one or two courses, which are often single-string ones.

Right right. Got that a bit backwards.

I dunno about Bon Jovi being jangly.  When I think of jangly I think more of a sound like REM, or Toad the Wet Sprocket.  It's that folky-yet-rock-kinda-southern-but-not-twangy sound.
