I still use DADGAD quite a lot (hey don't jump on me...it's only a tuning not a religion!) but also frequently use one for melodic Irish Scottish and Breton playing which I don't think was mentioned yet...EADEAE. Some people have told me Davey Graham was one of the first to use this tuning. I find it gives me more options than DADGAD although I wouldn't agree DADGAD is necessarily limiting...just listen to antthing by Pierre Bensusan!

All the bst for 2000 to everyone!
