shubbs partial capo has a dog leg which clears the bass string - works A LOT better than cutting down a standard capo or just cutting rubber - I know!!!! - gives DADGAD style tuning but in "E" or open "A" tuning with the advantage of mixing "open tuning" and standard chord shapes (D and G shapes) - used one for years and they work well - great for confusing musos at sessions especially when used along side of a standard capo.........
