Don, I thought about your post, and I've got a bit for ya...

Just like standard tuning, DADGAD has some nice movable chords that work well by moving them up and down the neck. The basic major config is;

555455, 555755 for G, x32032 for C

minors are 555355, 555758 for G, 222022 for E, 333133 for F

So,... D 000204, Em 222022, F#m 444204, G 555455, A 777677, Bm 999799



note... try these configs with a few notes open, or just pick a few notes you like, and mix 'em up

If playing chords on the nut is your forte, try;

oo42oo, 4oo2o4, ooo2oo, oo42o4 for D,...ooo2o3, oo32o3 for Dm... xx2o22 for Em,... xx42o4 for F#M,... o2oo2o, 52ooxx, 5x0450, 5x04x5 for G... xo2xo2, xo7677 for A,... xo2232 for Am,... x244xo for Bm, x3203x or x3x032, or x32032 for C,...

OK? quiz tomorrow... and its all improvisation... ttr
