Hi. In Fundamentals 2, Lisa spends some time on "open" major scales, especially D, E and A. I noticed (after having practiced these a while) that she tends to play them in what I would call "second" position, meaning index finger at the second fret, etc., whereas I had practiced them in "first" position, index finger at first fret, etc.

Does it matter? Maybe she is teeing up for something in the future and I should be practicing it exactly as she shows it.

Thanks!
