G7th Capo Buzzing on First Fret

I use my Performance 3 ‘upside down’ on my 7-string Emerald as a partial capo, leaving the 7th (low B) string open. Works like a charm for me, and I’ve not notice it slipping, or having any difficulty holding the lower strings in place.

There are no rules

That’s the way I use my G7th Performance 3 and Shubb de-Luxe capos.

Hi everyone, hope you're all well

just wanted to drop this in here for reference - if you find that you're experiencing an issue with your Performance 3, this video shows you how to remove and readjust the ART pad if needed
