I mean a lot of guitar music doesn’t work in position either…

(yes, this is too many positions, and no I don’t use them this way.)

CAGED for life. Don't harden simple things.

There's other seven positions, or one position (the whole neck), or any number in between.
Or maybe more positions if we do the one octave thing.
The more ways you have of doing things, the better.
I have a preference for bop though,

Not many, much fewer fingerings than say the CAGED positions. I could post some examples.

Actually, the entire 4 bars could be played in the first position if you use open strings but it may sound country especially if you're playing a Tele.

I don’t do open strings. They confuse me.
-
All this talk about fingering and positions... sheesh... makes me feel a little squirrelly.
BUT I have decided to change up ow I play measures 5-8 since it seems to be hanging me up and I see nobody else using the fingering I use, so why not?

Why not try it as a Bossa Nova? Coming soon to an elevator or dentist's office near you!
