I tried this and it seems to work well. Thanks!
I think the key to this is that the rubber on the capo has to be supple enough to cover both the "big" string and the "little" string. My older Schubb capo seems to have dried out and is too hard to compress enough to do this. My newer Schubb however, is much softer...works better.
