Capos, Multiple capos and partial capo-ing
Over time I've found myself using more than just one capo - though never more than three!I thought I'd share my thoughts about partial capo-ing and multiple capos on this page.
Far from being a gimmick it can be really effective - especially for the solo artist - as it allows you to use more of the tonal range of your guitar without having fingers as long as your arm!
