How to Use a Partial Capo – Video Lesson

Here is a great lesson from Lisa McCormick with GuitarTricks.Com on how to use a partial capo. If you aren’t familiar with guitar capos yet, they are simple little tools that you clamp onto your guitar, across the strings, that change the key. With a normal 6 string capo, you are limited, because you have to place the capo across all six strings. With the partial capo featured in the video below, things get a lot more interesting. You have the ability to clamp the capo down on only three strings at a time, leaving the rest of the string open. The result is a very interesting and unique sound without having to manually change the tuning of your strings.
