FAQs
What is a partial capo?
A partial capo is a specialized guitar accessory designed to fret only a select number of strings rather than all six across the fretboard. This allows musicians to instantly create open-string alternate tunings, such as DADGAD, while still maintaining standard tuning fingerings on the uncovered strings.
Is Kyser a good capo?
Yes, Kyser is widely recognized as an industry leader for trigger-style capos, trusted by musicians worldwide for durability, reliability, and precision tension control.
How do you use the Kyser Short-Cut capo for DADGAD tuning?
Place the three-string Short-Cut capo on the second fret covering the 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings. This leaves the 6th, 2nd, and 1st strings open to easily produce a rich DADGAD acoustic sound.
