Hello everyone, I have just started using a cut capo. The sound is great and you only use two fingers. Put the cut capo at the 2nd fret to cover the 5-4-3 strings. This will emulate the  DADGAD tuning but a step higher. The G string is now your E I love it for sing along songs. Does anyone use a cut capo?

I use a Paige on my Martin J12-15 and love it. It takes a bit of setting up, but clear tone thru out. Admittly, others are easier for me.

Kevin, I use a Paige capo on my mandolin, but the guitar model I had has some unprotected edges thqat could scratch my guitar so I don't use it anymore.

keeping in mind i dont make a lot of money, do any of you think its worth spending the money on?  granted i would rather get an Elliott, because i think my guitar is worth it, but i just dont have the cash.  i would al;so like to try a Blue Chip & Red Bear pick too but same thing applies  :).

so--i beg the question...is it worth a shot?

thank you

Kevin, I have been a dedicated Victor user since before Dunlop bought them and they are gerat...my only other choice now is Shubb.

well--this diehard Shubb user has done it; ive been using a Dunlop Victor capo for the last month & i gotta say i really like it.  it took some getting used to at first (but then so did my beloved Shubb), but since ive been using only the Victor, im quite used to it now.  its the heavy brass one.  it seems to fit the curve of my Guild's fretboard better, & i like being able to ajust the tension 'on the fly' as it were.  very impressed at this point.  i may order another one just to have the spare--like i do with my Shubbs.  the only other capo i have is the G7 which im not very impressed with & dont use much if at all.

Thanks for the info - I'm going to make a list and share with the jam group so everyone has it!

HP that's a good way to describe it. Technically though each fret is a HALF step...2 frets then being a whole step, like your example, capo on second fret is one whole step up and therefore a C Chord becomes a D!
