What's your favorite song to play in a D position?

[@therealdiehl4671]

I wanted to learn Nellie Kane. Pete Wernick played it in E, capoed up two in D position. That was the beginning for me. I often play songs in D or C open now. I say take a tune you know well and force yourself to play it in another key. It has breathed new life in to my playing. It can help get you out of a rut you may be in. Thanks again, Mr. G. You are a gifted picker and teacher.

Fantastic. Looking forward to your sessions at the 2020 banjo camp north!

Great stuff Eli! I’ve been working hard to phase the capo out as often as I can, and would love to hear what you have to say about the keys of e and f without a capo. Thanks for your awesome videos and lessons!

Great talk about playing in D. Just so happens I tend to sing in D. Could you speak to accompanying yourself?
