Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Use basic skills and handy work to install a capo that will expand the library of tablature available to your musical abilities. A fifth string capo is intended to adjust the tuning of the fifth (G) string on the banjo without having to constantly adjust the fifth string tuning key.
This installation process can be pretty intimidating, but if you approach it cautiously and double check your measurements, this fix can be empowering and rewarding.
