DADGAD capo

I'm not sure where we're getting mixed messages Tony, but if you use a cut capo and apply it to strings 3, 4 and 5 at the second fret, you will have a guitar tuned EBEABE.
If you tune your guitar to DADGAD and apply an uncut capo to the second fret you will also have a guitar tuned EBEABE.
If you fret the first string of the cut capo guitar 3 frets above the capo, you will have an A. If you fret the guitar with the uncut capo three frets above the capo, you will have an F#.
If you fret the second string of the cut capo guitar 3 frets above the capo you will have an E. If you fret second string of the uncut capo guitar 3 frets above te capo, you will have a D.
But if you fret the third string of either guitar 3 frets above the capo, you will get a C.
If you fret the 4th string of either guitar three frets above the capo, you'll get a G.
If you fret the 5th string of either guitar three frets above the capo, you'll get a D.
But if you fret the 6th string three frets above the capo, you'll get an A on the guitar with a cut capo and a G on the guitar with the uncut capo.
They produce the same notes played open, but very different when fretted.
Try this with two guitars if you don't believe me.

Anything you play on the 1st, 2nd and/or 6th strings will have to be played two frets lower than on a DADGAD tuned guitar. 

Here's a 2 octave D scale on a DADGAD tuned guitar.  (Put an uncut capo on the 2nd fret and the same fingering gives you an E scale.)
____________________________________________0__
___________________________________0__2__4_____
________________________________0______________
_______________________0__2__4_________________
______________0__2__4__________________________
__0__2__4__5___________________________________

If you put a cut capo on the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings at the second fret, you'll play the same two octave scale like this:

____________________________________________-2_ 
___________________________________-2__0__2____ 
_________________________________0_____________ 
________________________0__2__4________________
_______________0__2__4_________________________
__-2__0__2__3__________________________________

The red notes are hard to play, since the capo gets in the way.

OK, this is much harder to explain than to demonstrate.  I wish I could invite you over for a coffee and show you on two of my guitars, but, barring that, try it yourself.  You'll need a cut capo or a flipped Keyser.
