About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

Defend your position, Counselor! Jake & I debate how to approach the key of D–open D position, or capo 2 out of C position! We'll use "Whiskey Before Breakfast" as a case study. I've included a basic melody tab with both D & C positions tabbed. All the notes are the same so you can see the comparison between the two positions, and have rhythm tracks as well!
