The Kyser Short-Cut capo easily creates a DADGAD-like sound, without retuning. Place the Kyser Short-Cut capo on the 2nd fret from the top to cover the 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings. This leaves the 6th, 2nd, and 1st strings open for a unique DADGAD-like tuning. To play in a different key, you can use a 2nd Kyser Quick-Change capo closer to the headstock than the Kyser Short-Cut capo. For example, place a Kyser Quick-Change capo covering all (6 String)s on the 3rd fret and the Kyser Short-Cut on the 5th fret to play in the key of G. The Kyser Short-Cut can be used on any fret, in standard or inverted position and opens a new world of alternate tunings.
