In this lesson, I’ll show you how to read “Whip It” by DEVO in two different ways! First, we’ll read it as you might in a method book (in open position). Second, we’ll take a look at how DEVO actually performed it on their album, where it moves from fifth position to open position and back again. (The notation is provided in the video, as well as the PDF, and TABed versions are included in the PDF below).
