Guitarist makes a mistake...

My band "supported" (it was a kid's gig that we somehow got roped into playing) a band on Saturday that was interesting. The guitarist broke his capo on stage when he was trying to get it on, then for the next two songs played the open chords instead of capo'd at the first fret. Meanwhile the bassist was happily chugging along a semi-tone up from him on every note.

I felt like slapping them and I wasn't even in the band.

I think there is sadly some deeper ongoing abuse going on between that lot

Don't blame you mate! Sounds like a shoddy guitar player, nothing annoys me more than guitarist who use a capo for strumming open chords, learn your CAGED system and play it properly, i'm a bass player and even i can do that on guitar!

Not quite what I mean, it's even worse.

He was capo'd at the first fret, so he should've played an E shape, meaning it was an F chord, but instead he just played the E shape in the usual place, so an E chord. Meanwhile the bassist was still on F.
