GUEST,Felipa	DADGAD (65* d)	origins: DADGAD	07 Apr 20
see Rick Fielding's comment of 27 Feb. 1999 citing the overwhelming importance of Davey Graham in spreading the DADGAD tuning. I only learned tonight from a BBC radio 4 programme on "black music in Europe" of how Graham developed the tuning in order to play on his guitar the music he heard while travelling in Morocco. I see the programme at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000h0f2 where there is also a playlist of the music. Tonight's programme started off with tales of decolonization; music was only a backdrop until the story of how Davey Graham developed DADGAD tuning on his guitar in order to play Moroccan music. Martin Simpson was interviewed about that tuning. DADGAD is a versatile tuning, and I was mostly familiar with it as a tuning used for backing Irish music ... I did not know this history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davey_Graham
