Secrets of Partial Capos in Drop D Tuning

Exciting new partial capo ideas in the most common altered tuning...

Drop D tuning (D-A-D-G-B-E) has been used almost universally for centuries as a quick way to change the musical possibilities on the guitar. It is by far the most common alteration of the standard E-A-D-G-B-E tuning, and millions of players are familiar with it. That makes it a perfect place to illustrate the power of using partial capos in non-standard tunings. 

Partial capos and tunings both expand the boundaries of the guitar, and combining the two ideas yields surprising and useful results. Partial capos that clamp 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 strings each yield another hidden musical dimension in every fingerboard that players of all levels and styles can use in their music. 

Partial capo pioneer & guitar wizard Harvey Reid carefully takes you through 24 amazing ideas and reveals yet another impressive collection of secrets from this hidden guitar “hyperspace.” As only he can, Reid shows you how to get new music out of your guitar, with another book of ingenious capo ideas never revealed anywhere before.
