Brilliant? It features Tony McManus so it must be by default! Thanks for posting Akquarius.

I have his Celtic Journeyman course on TrueFire which features some DADGAD, but am waiting to finish up my current course before starting it. Great stuff! I wonder how the two courses compare? The Peghead Nation service is subscription only, which I don't really like.

This is good stuff though a bit complicated at the beginning. Make sure you pay attention. Personally, the less thinking I have to do the better ;-)

TMcM has an interesting aspect of DADGAD he explains in this video.
If I got it right (which is not necessarily the case....), he assumes that DADGAD is nothing else but an open D structure made to play both major and minor, which is not so much fun with either Open D or Open D minor.

If I got it right (which is not necessarily the case....), he assumes that DADGAD is nothing else but an open D structure made to play both major and minor, which is not so much fun with either Open D or Open D minor. He's absolutely right! I've got a tutorial on You Tube of She Moved Through the Fair — I don't point this out but it is D minor. There are two keys about DADGAD. 1. Remember the 4 bass strings are the same intervals as Dropped D. This should always give you an anchor. 2. It is the 1 and 2 string that disorientate. Focus on the natural scale that comes here. And then put together with the bass strings — conventional chord shapes will just sound weird. In DADGAD you are always playing runs across the strings. In major the B on the 5th string (2nd fret) is the natural place to be. But make that B a C (3rds fret) and you are into Minor — you just have to work out how to get there! DADGAD is not an open tuning in the sense that you can't strum open across all 6 strings. But you can with the bottom 4 :-)
