Thanks, WLD - I didn't know that MC had KBed DADGAD, but I'm well pleased to hear it.

I have never been able to work with DADGAD. Believe me, it wasn't for want of trying (in many senses !) but I thought this down to my ineptitude. After all, Dick Gaughan and Pierre BenSusan, to name but two, play in nowt else.

I am, though I say it, an accomplished player in Open G, Open D and Open C, all of which I am very comfortable with.

All praise and credit to Martin Carthy for having shown us the way.

(Should anyone like a chord sequence for Open C, other than the 5th and 7th barre, please PM me.)
