Shubb C7B Review by R. Langdon "Scriptor" (Four Oaks, NC USA)

This little capo has opened the floodgates of creativity in my guitar intstrumental writing ... it "simulates" open tuning but it's different ... I have become so fond of this capo that I have 3 of them (one for each guitar) and wouldn't want to be without one ... besides that, all Shubb capos are durable, easy to use and long lasting ... good design keeps it small and not in the way ... I particularly like the easy adjustment to get just the right tension on the strings ... I used to use other capos but in the last 2 years, I have come to use Shubb capos almost exclusively ...

Shubb C7B Review by Jack C Roy-Feczko "Just Jack 2000" (Edmonds, WA United States)

I've written my first set of guitar compositions worth keeping with this capo at the age of 45. I even performed one to an audience at the Alderwood Mall near Seattle and one at my Mom's funeral as a proper tribute in 2006. Godspeed Mom! I'm getting another since I lost the first. I usually use it on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings (though you can flip it and use it on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th). You can even use it in tandem with another capo or two. It releases your inner creativity . . . .

Shubb C7B Review by Guitarman58

I've always been a fan of using a capo to change the voice of my guitar(s), so when I read that you could use a six string capo, to cover just five strings, I gave it a go. Well I never! It totally transformed the voicings yet again. It would seem the variations are without end!
On further reading, I discovered the partial capo. After the success I had with the normal capo, it did not take me long to decide to buy one. WOW!
Yet another transformation! Who would have thought; that after 43 years, I would be making such discoveries?
Incidentally, this particular(drop-D) model can be adapted to cover three strings of four, further increasing the variations available.
I wish you all the best on your never-ending journey!

Shubb C7B::Description

The partial capo does not produce a ture open tuning enless the strings are actually retuned. Instead, it provides a special effect which many guitarists find interesting. Its most pupular 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 to discover. Experiment and enjoy.
