    Hi, Jerry:

    Bought this one years ago and finally learning it today. Funny (stupid?) question: In the video I think you based your lesson on, she’s playing with the capo on the 5th fret, rather than. the 7th. Yet, I’m able to play along with her on capo 7. Has she also re-tuned her guitar?

    None if this matters for playing it, and your lesson is great. I’m just wondering.

      Hi Mark
      I see that, and no doubt when I made the video I figured out what was going on there, but it was a while ago.
      Looking at it again now, it must be that rather than dropping the top two strings by a full step, she’s actually raised the other 4 by a full step.
      I guess she’d do that to gain the bit of extra space you get at the 5th fret.
      I’d avoid it because I don’t like to risk breaking strings :)
