Default Dolly Parton - Jolene - solo fingerstyle

A fun evening working this one out. It's fun to play, apologies for the edits but I'll probably leave this one where it is rather than polish it....

I really liked that. Thanks. One question - why do you use a capo on a instrumental piece?

Thanks for the comments.

The capo is just to put it in the same key as the original whilst maintaining easier chord shapes. When you are playing the tune as well some chord shapes are easier to pick the melody out of.

In this case though the original early versions are also played capo 4 on a classical guitar:
