My capo is my friend! Repeat that 25 times!

Because my small hands prevent me from barre chords and chords that take 4 fingers, the capo affords me the capability of changing keys to make my performance more interesting.

(Disclaimer) That is my educated opinion regarding what I do and probably wouldn't apply to anyone else.

I think I've tried almost every kind of capo imaginable. little hawk's description of what the Kyser does is spot-on. I prefer the Paige to the Shubb.

Seamus ... I gotta love a man who uses the words "Doc Watson, Norman Blake, and Tony Rice" in one breath.
