How do I choose a guitar capo?

Make sure the capo is tight enough that all open strings ring clearly but not too tight so that the strings are pulled sharp. Choose a capo that mirrors the curvature and width of the fretboard. Some guitars have very curved fretboards and guitars such as 12-strings have very wide fretboards.

Are all capos the same?

Adjustments. Not all capos are equally adjustable, and this is a big concern. Screw-clamp mechanisms are reliable and can be adjusted precisely without over-tightening, but more control means more revolutions, and slower operation. Several brands combine an adjustable thumbscrew with a snap mechanism.
