Kyser Short-Cut Capo

The Kyser Short-Cut takes your mind off the chord changes and allows you more freedom when playing your guitar. It also allows you to “hammer on” and create new rhythms.

The Short-Cut can easily create a DADGAD-like sound, without retuning. To do so, just place the Kyser Short-Cut on the 2nd fret from the top to cover the 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings.

To play in a different key, you can use a 2nd capo closer to the headstock than the Kyser Short-Cut. For example, place a capo covering all 6 strings 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.

Cool but Tricky

Here's my experience with it: I was excited to get it in the mail - but once I clamped it on my guitar, it was a bit disappointing. Because of its particular design, I had to put it right on the fret (edge) to keep the strings in tune. Otherwise, because of the way it pulls on the three strings while clamping down, the guitar will play out of tune. I tried it on two different guitars and had the same problem on both. Once it's on right though, sounds great.
