How To Use a Capo on Your Guitar

Description
The D'Addario NS Tri-Action Capo is a revolutionary capo designed for buzz-free, in-tune performance at any fret. The patent-pending Tri-Action geometry reduces the force required to open and close the capo, and applies even tension regardless of neck profile. Combined with the micrometer tension adjustment and direct horizontal pressure, the Tri-Action Capo virtually eliminates pulling the strings side to side and the need to retune during use.
Tri-Action Design Prevents String Pulling
The Tri-Action geometry is a unique, three-point contact design that avoids pulling strings sideways, allowing for accurate intonation up and down the fretboard. The balanced clamping force keeps all strings securely in tune without favoring thicker or thinner strings. This high-performance design provides a buzz-free performance for acoustic and electric guitars with radiused fretboards.
Micrometer Tension Adjustment for a Custom Fit
An adjustable tension screw with a micrometer scale allows for precise tension adjustment based on the guitar's neck size and shape as well as personal playing preference. This custom-fit capability ensures even pressure and solid tuning stability. The tension can be adjusted and readjusted as needed for consistent performance over years of use.
Lightweight Yet Durable Construction
The capo features a lightweight yet durable aluminum construction that adds negligible weight to the neck of the guitar. Aluminum provides high strength-to-weight ratio, so the capo securely clamps strings in place without feeling bulky or affecting the instrument's natural resonance. The minimal mass also makes the capo comfortable for extended playing sessions.
Integrated Pick Holder and Padded Bumper
For convenient storage, an integrated pick holder secures a spare pick to the capo. A padded bumper protects the guitar finish from scratches and dents. All parts are thoughtfully designed to provide comprehensive functionality without compromising tone or playability.

Best Capo Ever!!!
I've had my capo for over 6 years! It is in as great condition than when I first bought it. I've never had to buy another one since. Once you place it on it is on. The strings don't screach! It's just the best. I have never had any problem with it when I perform or practice. If you are looking for a capo for life, this is the one to get!!

Too fragile
I had this in my lap and stood up. It hit the ground and broke into pieces. That was the first time I had even dropped it.

As a very new player, I had no idea why I should have this, but my instructor asked if I had one and then helped me in choosing this one. Now I understand and really appreciate Melissa guiding me on this journey.

I was always too proud to want to use a capo, but now I've tasted the Keef of open G! This capo seems to work well, and it didn't cost much. Hooray!
