Subject: RE: Chord Req: Lizzie Lindsay in DADGAD tuning
Yes, DADGAD tuning is different. That's why I gave you the chord patterns! Retune to DADGAD (which is a D tuning; you don't use it for any other key) and capo 5, which means you will he playing in G.
Then play in the positions I gave you:
D: 000200 or 004200
G: 020020
A: x0220x or x02242
So the D positions will sound a G, the G positions will sound as C, and the A positions will sound as D.
So this would sound as
G Will ye gang tae the Hielands, Lizie Lindsay? C Will ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me? G Will ye gang tae the Hielands, Lizie Lindsay? C D G My bride and my darlin' tae be?
