Luke Ward - Irish Bouzouki Lessons - The Congress Reel in different Capo positions

This is a really helpful lesson by Luke Ward. Oftentimes you have to accompany a set of tunes where you have to change capo positions. To avoid this you might want to be able to play in different keys. The Congress Reel is in A-Dorian. You can play it without capo, with Capo at 2nd position playing in G-Dorian, with Capo at 5th position playing in E-Dorian and in 7 position playing in D-Dorian.

Luke shows necessary chords and how to accompany the Congress Reel using these shapes.
