Chords for Beginner Clawhammer Banjo Crash Course - Crawdad Song (key of D)

_ _ _ _ Well folks now we're going to do crawdad song and yet another key
this time
instead of just switching up our
chord functions and
Realigning our 1 4 & 5 we're going to use the magical capo we talked about
So I'll put the capo on the second fret if you haven't bought a capo yet
You can skip this part of the lesson
But I recommend that you buy one clasp that capo on the second fret and then after we've done that
What we've done is we essentially are fretting all the strings on the second fret
So we've raised the notes up a whole letter in the musical alphabet these two frets worth
Of musical distance and so we have to compensate with our fifth string, which wasn't affected by the capo
We have to tune it up.
It's normally tuned to a G note.
You remember well since we raised these these up one note
In the musical alphabet, we're gonna raise this up as well.
So we'll go from a G note to an a note
_ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ But now we can do all the same functions we can act like we're playing in the [F#] key of C
[D] with our C F [A] and G chord
But we'll actually be in the key of D because remember we moved up the two frets that moves us up one letter
Of the musical alphabet, so we just shifted our key from C to D.
Nothing really changes for us
We're still going to play our C chord like we normally would
[E] All our F chord and G chord just like we normally would what it really changes is
The range at which I can sing and that this tune and that's why that's the main reason why people will play
Songs in various keys is to accommodate the vocal
inclinations
Or even the limitations of a particular [D] singer
So it's good to kind of cycle one song through these various keys.
So you get a little feel for what this is all about
So let's go ahead and play just how we did in the key of C, but now we're technically in the key of D _
