Trying to find the tabs where I can play through as per yours but getting confused because tab I see doesn’t match your play thru.
Hi Mark,
I haven’t checked but I’m pretty sure you’re right,…The Tabs are provided by the copyright holder,…and Justin often adapts the lessons for us for good reason,… There is a lot of work going on by several people to adapt the tabs to the exact way Justin teaches us ,…But he has released so many songs (and continues to do so) that it is still it may take a while before everything is updated,…
The only thing I can help you with is (if you don’t already know) ,… slow down the video (always nice to experience the drunk Justin 
), press pause a lot and write yourself,… 
Good luck with it, but I also wish you a lot of fun… 
Greetings,Rogier
Hi,
I have a question about the song.
I want to learn to play the song but slightly confused in regards to the tabs and the the placement of the capo. Justin says the original recording has capo on the 2nd fret and you need to move everything down by two frets, but looking at the tab supplied, it’s got the capo at the second fret but you cannot play the intro as the capo is there. Should the song be played like what Justin does without the capo?
The tab is relative to the capo. So 2 means 2 frets from the capo, 0 means open string with the capo on.
You can put the capo on any fret you like, the original had it on the 2nd fret.
Hi Chris,
If I am understanding this correctly…If I put the capo on the 2nd fret, and look at the tabs, I will need to move the tab notation down by 2, so it would read
4 6 7 4 6
0 0 0 0
on the first bar etc. and does this apply to the barre chords as well, they will all need to be moved down by two?
Yes for the first note your finger will be on the 4th fret.
I think an easier way to think about it is just pretend the capo is the nut and the first note is 2 frets above the capo. And yes the same applies for barre chords.
