Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning
This is what I'm saying about Ken Nicol - he showed me that everything DOESN'T have to sound like ye olde folk ballade in Dadgad. Did you know for example that many blues players and ragtime players used it.

I'm not saying its the best. Its just a lot more versatile than the 'in the tradition' bores, with their endless dreams of imposing orthodoxy, would have you think. It really is bloody good.

Use lots of tunings. Its fun. Its free.
