Partial capo
This capo does not cover all six strings. It is simple variant of the Third Hand Capo, which is discussed below. For example you can put the capo in a high position on the high strings. The low strings remains open so you still have the ability to play low basses.

Third Hand capo
This is a special kind of capo. You put the capo in a certain position, and then choose what strings you want the capo to cover. While playing you can also change this, but you have to look for a moment to do that. The great thing about such a capo is that you have a lot of new combinations.
