Capo 2 on a standard-tuned six-string acoustic. Finger pick at a
moderate tempo in 4/4 time. Bebo plays fingerstyle with acrylic nails.
It's in G major relative to the capo (which is concert A).
These are the finger positions that I think are best to use.
Though they may not be the most natural for each individual chord, they
are best because they lend themselves to quick, easy chord changes and
hitting the extra notes within chords. For instance, by using the same
finger for both the 3rd and 5th strings (one at a time, don't bar) in
the G6/B chord, you force yourself to play the odd A bass note on beat
4 (that you might otherwise forget) because you have to move your
finger to the 3rd string on beat 3. You get the idea. Anyway, these
are the best fingerings overall, but if you prefer other fingerings
that's up to you. The positions in parentheses are what you move to
while playing that chord.
