Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The partial capo does not produce a ture open tuning enless the strings are actually retuned. Instead, it provides a special effect which many guitarists find interesting. Its most pupular use is to apply the capo at the second fret from the bass side, skipping the bass string and covering strings 5-4-3. This emulates DADGAD tuning, but a step higher. Another use is to apply the capo from the treble side at the second fret, skipping the first string and covering strings 2-3-4. This forms an open A chord. There are probably other applications which can yield interesting new sounds. They're just waiting for a creative musician to discover. Experiment and enjoy.

- Shubb partial capoThis is not a shortcut to alternate tuning. But it gives you the best of both alternate tuning and standard chord shapes that you already know. It is an awesome little capo that adds a lot of color to arrangements. It is a great purchase, well worth the price. Experiment and have fun!

- Aids creativeity, like real good man. Wow!I have this and the Kyser partial capo. The Shubb takes up less space and the guitar stays in tune.The Kyser tends to pull the strings out of tune. Hard to break this capo so it should last at least 234.6 years or until you die. What ever comes first.
Using this capo on the on the bottom strings, 2nd fret, gives a pseudo DADGAD tuning.

- Shubb 3 string CapoI've written my first set of guitar compositions worth keeping with this capo at the age of 45. I even performed one to an audience at the Alderwood Mall near Seattle and one at my Mom's funeral as a proper tribute in 2006. Godspeed Mom! I'm getting another since I lost the first. I usually use it on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings (though you can flip it and use it on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th). You can even use it in tandem with another capo or two. It releases your inner creativity . . . .

- revolutionaryThis is one of the best and most revolutionary inventions to come along in a really long time. The workmanship is supurb (as with all Shubb things). I have one in my guitar case, one on my guitar and one in my pocket. I love to introduce it to others--if they were less expensive I'd probably give them away. No they do not produce true alternative tunings--but it is the next best thing.
