I continue to be very happy with the results of using a 5-string capo. As I said before, I am able to acheive the Carulli tuning by putting it on the 3rd fret...

Another bonus about using the 5-string capo on the third fret to yield the Carulli tuning that I forgot to mention, that makes it even better than the regular...
Hello everyone, I think the capo could be useful regardless of the tuning. Has anyone tried a six-string capo? Can anyone think of an obstacle to using or ...
