Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted January 28, 2004 Members Posted January 28, 2004 Hi, all! This may be old hat to some, but I found this out while playing with someone this past week. If you take the Kyser spring-loaded capo, and flip it upside down so the black pad is on the back of the neck, and the small, clear pad is covering the A, D, and G strings at the 2nd fret, you get an open Esus4 tuning, which sound really cool. You may have to trim the clear pad of the capo some if you have a narrow-necked guitar, but I didn't have to on my Seagull (wide neck). This creates some cool chord voicings while giving you an open tuning. This may be old to some, and let me know if it is. However, if someone can find a use for this, have fun! Dustin
Members S~R~O Posted January 29, 2004 Members Posted January 29, 2004 It's so much easyer to get a Shubb's partial Capo:D
Members JohnnyD Posted January 29, 2004 Members Posted January 29, 2004 cool! thanks for the tip i knew about those partial capos but never thought of just flipping a normal one round.
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted January 29, 2004 Members Posted January 29, 2004 The kid who opened for me Saturday night did this for one song...I, at first, thought he didn't know how to use a Kyser capo!Silly me!

Silly me! imagine what a monkey you'd've looked if you went up and told him that's not how you use a capo!
Members confuseitall Posted January 29, 2004 Members Posted January 29, 2004 That's cool. A lot simpler than buying one of those partial capos.
Members EvilHippy Posted January 30, 2004 Members Posted January 30, 2004 That's ironic... but I bought my first capo last night.... I was going to get a cheapo Fender but I didn't know they had those Kyser spring clamp ons there. Last night I fooled with it and discovered this exact thing.... strange... we all must think alike

Indeed...almost did, until I heard what he was doing with it! Got him hooked up with another opening slot next week...he's saving up to buy his own portable PA!OMG, another acoustic picker unleashed on an unsuspecting world!
