The Kyser® Drop-D Quick-Change™ is a tool for creative exploring. With it, you can get new, richer sounds from your guitar without having to relearn how to play the chords you already know. For songs that require an open E string, this is the Quick-Change Capo you want. Note the notch that leaves the lower E string unclamped.

Place the Drop-D on the 2nd fret, and play a triangular-shaped D chord. Normally, you'd only play the high 4 strings, but now you can play all 6. Because the Kyser Drop-D is in the second fret, you're hearing an E chord - and the low string is an E, too. It sounds like Drop-D tuning!
