I bought a Kyser K-Lever Short Cut Capo on a whim and really like it. The neat thing about is that you can play in DADGAD (really EBEABE) in the first position and using the third, fourth and fifth sting fingerings, and still play regular chords and scales up the neck. That means folks like me who have little or no exposure to DADGAD can play find familiar fingerings when needed. For instance, using a regular D form I can play an E chord at the fourth fret. The K-Lever is a neat feature that lets you play F#, which is helpful when playing scales.

Another interesting feature is that you can flip the capo over and play an open -A chord (EAEAC#E). Note, however, since you aren't retuning the guitar into you will end up playing regular bar chords up the neck.

The K-lever open G capo doesn't open up as many creative options without resorting to detuning your guitar. I really like the lever that lets you "finger" the open bass strings without having to reach over and behind the capo. Really helpful for alternate bass lies! The open D and double dropped D versions open up broader creative horizons.

This is a great concept and makes some really cool voicings and chords possible. It's inspiring to play with. Unfortunately it has one major flaw - the lever is loose enough that it rattles loudly and annoyingly whenever I strum a chord - making for a very annoying and distracting experience. I've had some success using pliers to tighten it up a bit but it invariably loosens again after a few hours or days. Great concept but I may keep looking for a better design.

First off, If you like that low, beefy, bottom sound of a guitar in open G tuning, then this won't get you there. BUT, assuming that you don't have an extra guitar to keep in open tuning, this Kyser really helps open up some fretboard maneuvering by doing a good job of "faking it".

What it does is clamp an A chord onto your openfretboard. From there you can treat things like an "open" tuning ... sort of. Still, if you only have one guitar, it saves you the time and cost of having to replace strings that go dead from de-tuning and re-tuning. If you are used to having a dedicated open G tuned guitar around, and are used to using flat-barring across the 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc. frets to "keep going", then you won't have that option with this capo. (i.e. using for slide)

However, I totally give it a Solid Thumbs Up, just with some restrictions.

It works as advertised. It takes practice to get used to using it but it'll come quickly. I wish it was a little longer because I can't use it in higher positions up the neck.

Great capo to have in addition to the regular 6/12 string capo's.
Can be used on its own or in conjunction with a regular capo for even more options.

Great capo, an excellent addition to the regular 6/12 string capo's, giving musicians even more options.
I have several Kyser capo's and highly recommend their products, in general.
