Spider Capo

I can’t remember who initially mentioned the Spider Capo (sorry about that), but I wanted to talk about this today. I’ve used a few capos in the past and are handy to use to get some new sounds or song ideas. The thing I always was bummed about it how it was a straight bar every time, and thought it would be cool to have some open strings through the capo. Should have know others felt the same, and this is where the Spider Capo comes in.

Here is the official description:

The Creative Tuning SpiderCapo allows you to capo each string individually, making hundreds of open string tunings possible without re-tuning your instrument. The guitar capo won the Best in Show award at the 2009 Summer NAMM trade show. With the SpiderCapo you can play all the bar chords and riffs you already know, plus unlimited new chords (which is not possible with standard tuning). You can also change guitar tunings while playing, finger above and below the capo, play melodies with open string accompaniment. You can easily use the Creative Tuning SpiderCapo in live performances and explore unlimited creative possibilities, new tunings, keys, harmonies, and textures.

Creative Tunings SpiderCapo Features:

* Fits all guitar fingerboards
* Unlimited application for all styles of music and playing levels
* An invaluable guitar accessory and creative tool for singer/songwriters
* Weighs less than 1 oz.

Here is a interesting video showing how you can use this with electric guitar by MacNicholGuitars
