The 50 cent partial capo

If you've heard about partial capos but don't want to spend a lot on one, you will love this little hack. If you haven't, a partial capo is a capo that only holds down some of the strings (3 in this case), allowing some very cool-sounding chords. This one sounds great on an acoustic, but will probably also be good on an electric.
This is based on these instructions, but as far as I know no one has ever tried this.
So, let's begin.
This is my first Instructable, so if you have any improvements please leave a comment.

Step 1 Materials

You will need:
- Some rubber bands (I used 13, but my guitar has high action.)
- Two quarters
- 2 strips of electrical tape
I also needed another dime, but you may not.

Actually, I just realized you don't even need to do all this if you already have a capo. You can also just tape the quarters and put them under a normal capo. However, this way puts bit less pressure on the strings, so it doesn't go out of tune as much, and you can use both capos together.

Very interesting.

nice use of materials. Should work well in a pinch or just for normal playing.
