How does a guitar capo work?

Using a guitar capo is simple, and placing it or changing its position (for example, between songs) on the fretboard does not take much time. All capos have some sort of clamping or tightening mechanism, but there are a few different types, for example:

• Trigger capo

• Screw capo

• Roller capo

• Strap capo

Generally speaking, all capos do the same thing: change the key of the music. The choice will come down to your personal preference. You may want a capo that you can quickly and easily put on or remove. In this case, go for a capo with a clamp design.
