Tip, yet to try it myself but it should work.
Buy a capo where the strings would be in contact with a rubber sleeve, and the sleeve is not square. Buy a spare sleeve for it. Cut this in 6 ,4 7 or 12 equal sections, depending on how many strings you have on your axe.
Replace the existing sleeve with this sectioned sleeve. Rotate the sleeve parts on the strings you want open, the others are muted.
I want to try this on slide guitar, or just for wierdness, ( I swear he's playing F barre, but it sounds like....)
:cool:
