special Partial Capo

The partial capo does not produce a true open tuning
unless the strings are actually retuned. Instead, it provides
a special effect which many guitarists find interesting.
Its most popular use is to apply the capo at the
second fret from the bass side, skipping the bass
string and covering strings 5-4-3. This emulates
DADGAD tuning, but a step higher.
Another use is to apply the capo from the
treble side at the second fret, skipping the first
string and covering strings 2-3-4. This forms
an open "A" chord.

There are probably other applications which can yield

interesting new sounds. They're just waiting for a creative
musician ... maybe you ... to discover. Experiment and enjoy!

The Shubb Capo utilizes a unique,

action that is lever operated.

over-center

To set the screw so that the capo is adjusted

your instrument:

locking

properly for

1. Center the black rubber pad across the fretboard at the third
fret and press it evenly against the strings, just behind the fret
as you would place your finger. Keeping that in place, pivot the
back piece toward the neck, closing the capo. If the screw is
set properly, the capo will lock with a firm, positive snap, and
remain solidly in place until you flip the lever to release it .
If it closes but doesn't lock, tighten the screw .
If it won't close, or requires great force to close, loosen the screw.
(Adjustments are more easily made with the capo disengaged.)

2. Experiment with various settings of the screw until you find

just the right closing action
3. Now try it at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th frets. At this point,
slight adjustment might be in order to find a satisfactory setting that will not require re-adjustment.
IMPORTANT! Setting the screw all the way in so that the capo
requires great force to close does not necessarily improve the capo's
effectiveness, and actually could have the opposite effect. There is a
just right amount of pressure that you want to create, so don't just
automatically crank it all the way down!
