Highlandman -

Whats wrong with 024400 or x24400 as a relative minor in DADGAD? I think it's a fine sounding chord. And it runs down happily from D (000200) via X42000 if you want to run between D and Bm

As an aside and a different bunch of chords which people seem to like when they're played try here - (Canyon Moonrise). It's a lovely tune amongst other things but the chords are really interesting and different. I came across the tune on a CD called Celtic Fiddlers I think and was so taken by the tune that I wrote to John who composed it. He was kind enough to respond and explained a lot about his thoughts on chord voicings. When I first heard the tune I thought it was in DADGAD or similar but it isn't. His response was that he had tried (I think successfully) to create that sound but without the limitations of DADGAD!

Interesting bunch of chords to tinker with and got me fiddling up the neck more and using some of them in other tunes.

There is a lot of other guitar stuff on John's site which is interesting by the way so it's worth an explore.

Still one of the top five tunes I play with a fiddling friend.
