The Kyser Short-Cut revolutionises how guitarists approach common chord progressions, making familiar sequences like E, F#m, A, B or G, D, Em, C remarkably simple to execute. This innovative capo design frees your mind from complex chord changes, giving you greater creative freedom and the ability to incorporate hammer-on techniques and develop fresh rhythmic patterns on your guitar.
One of the Short-Cut's most impressive features is its ability to produce authentic DADGAD-style tones without the hassle of retuning your instrument. Simply position the Short-Cut on the 2nd fret, covering the 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings, and you'll achieve that distinctive open tuning sound instantly.
For musicians wanting to play in different keys, the Short-Cut works brilliantly in combination with a standard capo. Place a regular capo across all six strings on the 3rd fret, then position your Short-Cut on the 5th fret to play comfortably in the key of G. The Short-Cut's versatility extends to any fret position and can be used in both standard and inverted orientations, making it an essential tool for any guitarist's arsenal.
