Mike,
In a little confused about playing in the different keys. I thought you need a capo in order to do this? I don’t see you using one in the video. I have the open G part down pretty good. Can you elaborate on this. Thanks
Look forward to more videos. (I’m fairly new)
Thanks

Daryl,

Good question. A capo can sometimes make it easier to play in other keys, but no, it’s not necessary to use a capo to play in other keys.

In the other two keys (C and D) we can also use open chords (C, F, G, D, A, etc)… so it’s still pretty easy to play in these keys without a capo.

Start working through version two and if you run into any other issues let me know.

– Mike
