Rolling Capo - Sliding Capo for Tuning Tone of Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin, Banjo

The media could not be loaded.  I almost wrote my review too soon. When I first got it, I really liked it as a capo because there wasn't any buzzing anywhere it's placed on the fret. It's always perfect. It's worth the price as just a capo. I found it difficult to use the rollers for key changes though. But, after leaving it on my guitar for a few days, the springs stretched a little, making it much easier to roll to different frets. I posted a little video showing that. It takes some practice but I'm sure I'll get good at it. Pay attention to the sound of the strings. Notice that there isn't any buzzing on any fret it's placed.Don't think about it...buy it.

I saw the ad for the Glider on Facebook, it looked like a really good idea. I rarely order anything thru Facebook, I go to Amazon or eBay to see if they have it. It's usually cheaper, ships faster and with Prime you get free shipping. Amazon has the Glider for the same price as the ad on Facebook, $34.99. When I scrolled down, I found this one for $5.99. Okay. I decided to try both and compare. They both work great, they roll easily and put enough tension on the strings so that there's no buzzes or rattles. When not in use, I can roll it over the nut and it doesn't change the tuning of the guitar. The shaft on the glider is a little bit thicker diameter and the rubber looks a little more pliable. It's possible the Glider is using and higher grade of steel, it's hard to discern. Other than that I can't see a difference. Time will tell if the springs on this one will remain strong enough to keep sufficient pressure on the strings but for now I'm giving it 5 stars. If it doesn't, I'm only out $5.99. I'm keeping both, one for my Martin and the other for my Breedlove.

This one or at least the one I got works great for a Capo, but it does not "glide" or "roll" with ease. Yes it will roll but it takes both hands to get it to roll or you have to roll it from the front which defeats the purpose.Some say it's to tight that causes it not to roll, but I think I'm seeing the opposite. When you roll it from the back the springs stretch and maybe because it's tight on the front or the roller is just to hard to roll, the springs just stretch out and the roller just doesn't roll until you roll it yourself.It is easy to just roll it yourself to the spot you want initially, but if you are going to do that just use a clip on one.Again, works great as a capo when set where you want it, but that about it.Update:I tried this cheap one on different guitars and I stand corrected on it not rolling correctly. It didn't work worth a you know what on rolling on my Dove Acoustic or my J200s, but those have a thin neck, but on my Artist J200 with a tree trunk neck, my Larrivee and my Recording King guitars, all which have a pretty good size neck, it worked fine as it was tighter on the neck and just a little push it rolled fine.So I would say, think about neck size prior to grabbing or just pay the $9 and give it a try as whether it rolls or not it works great as a regular capo.

The spring is tight so when you put it on, hold the roller tight against the strings when stretching the cap. Check the screw holding the cap on! Mine flew off after a few uses! (Maybe try some blue loc-tite?) It would be nice if the top of the removeable cap was marked somehow: I used a blue marker. For me will Prob best be used when changing key within a song. If your thumb is weak—good luck! But practice using it and it gets better.

Very good product

Compared to Greg Bennett's Glider Capo this is totally worthless. Spend a few dollars more and get something that works much better. The hard rubber doesn't roll well at all and the hard rubber capo doesn't work well either. Everything about the Bennett Glider is better than the LRONG (WRONG) Capo.

Was so excited to get and use this product; however, wow -- it smells!. The plastic must've been made from something not very clean. Evidently there must be fumes from the plastic parts because it made my eyes burn a little too. Product goes on very tight, making the maneuverability harder to switch chords. Sure looks easier in the video! Maybe I'll try stretching the springs out a tiny little bit, but I don't see using it much due to the pungent smell. Will try soaking it in something to irradicate the odor.I can't give it good ratings if I don't anticipate using it until it loosens up and smells better. Makes me wonder if the more expensive versions are better?

Great
