Can you play it in multiple positions?

Something I’ve been doing on guitar recently is practicing songs in multiple positions.

It’s something that I don’t think I’ve done before on guitar, but it’s a great way to reinforce melodies and to reinforce scale positions.

I’m a fan of the CAGED system to get yourself started learning the fretboard, so that’s what I use. However, you could easily do the same thing with three note per string shapes or whatever other shapes you use to organize the fretboard.

Start with a simple song if you’ve never done this before, but eventually it’ll be easy to shift from one shape to another and remember where the notes are in each position.
