Solution: Ensure the capo is positioned directly behind the fret, fully contacting all strings, and is parallel to the fretboard.

2. Over-Tightening the Capo

Reason: Applying excessive pressure can damage the strings, fretboard, or the capo itself, potentially leading to breakage or poor sound quality.
Solution: Tighten the capo just enough to ensure that all strings are cleanly pressed against the frets without excessive force.
