You are absolutely right on the money here...I noticed immediately that I sounded better using a Shubb because I was able to apply just the right amount of pressure and not pull the strings sharp. I only just figured out a few months ago that squeezing the guitar with my left hand in a death grip also affected whether or not I sounded in tune. My first guitar was kind of a beater so I never really noticed this before...exhaust_49 said:I used to use kyser capos but I switched to using the shubb deluxe capo. I found that the kyser capo pulled my strings sharp. I have had no problems with the shubb because you can adjust how much preshure it clamps with.
When I first tried the shubb, the diffrence was like day and night. My guitar sounded so much better being capoed in tune.lolligagger said:You are absolutely right on the money here...I noticed immediately that I sounded better using a Shubb because I was able to apply just the right amount of pressure and not pull the strings sharp.

Give the G7th a try, though it's not cheap.drift_boat said:Well what d'ya know. All along, I thought it was me, my Taylor's setup, or my technique. My Kyser does everything mentioned above. It pulls my strings sharp, I have to retune everytime I move the capo, and I have poor intonation up the neck. It's going in the garbarge can immediately!!
I was just going to start a thread asking why I can't play with a capo!
