Grant continues where he left off with last month’s lesson, and shows you how to play John Reischman’s “The Eighth of February” in the key of A without using a capo. The melody and chords are the same, but the handshapes, fingering, drone strings, and picking are different. As Grant notes, there are valuable lessons gleaned from learning the same melody and chords in different fingerings and positions. In this video, Grant shows you the first part of the tune with open-position fingering.
