Not sure if this went to the right forum or not

But I got me one finally the other day, and ive been experiments around with it, trying out new styles and such. But first, im wondering, are those thing really going for a little under 20 bucks or did I get ripped off

and this tab kinda I made up, im sure its been done before but its new to me

CAPO third fret

E-0
A-0
D-0
G-5 chord 1
B-6
E-5

E-6
A-5
D-0
G-0 chord 2
B-0
E-6

E-0
A-0
D-5
G-5 chord 3
B-5
E-5

If you look at the tab for the ramones song I want you around, this is what my crappy part is based off of, You first start of playing chords 1 and 2 for 4 measures, then playing chord 3 instead of one for 4 more measures, then alternate in between the two. Right now im still working on the beginning, and if I decide to make it into a song, its gonna be called "Lesbain Renisciance Fair"

****it I screwed up post thing, im gonna re-fix this

I paid $10 US for the Dunlop curved trigger capo. I'm pretty happy with it. While I'm not going to say it's indestructable, I will say that the chance of me breaking it from normal use are pretty slim. Also, the spring is quite strong. It was actually hard to use until I figured out the best way to compress it.
