Capo: 7
Reckless – Australian Crawl / James Reyne
This song is played in D but James’ vocal is so far out of normal reach for Aussie
blokes it’s easier to play in G and then use a capo to raise the pitch until you
can’t hit the high notes in pre chorus. The original would be capo 7 but capo 0 is
still high! (I would try for capo 3 or 4 if you can).
