Intermediate Banjo Lesson - How to Play Songs in ANY Key

In this intermediate banjo lesson, Will teaches how to play simple vocal songs in the keys of G, C, and D. And by learning to play in these three keys, with a capo you'll be able to play in any key. This is especially helpful if you need to play in a different key to fit your lead vocalist's range. It's also just great practice and a way to learn more about your instrument.
And here's a handy table of how to play in each of most common keys:
G - Open in G position
A - G position capo 2nd fret
Bb - G position capo 3rd fret
B - G position capo 4th fret
C - G position capo 5th fret OR C position no capo
D - C position capo 2nd fret OR D position no capo
E - C position capo 4th fret OR D position capo 2nd fret
F - D position capo 3rd fret
And for D position remember to spike your 5th fret appropriately. For open D, use the 5th string spike to tune to A.
