Dear Don,

A tuning like DADGAD lends itself to a lot of two-finger chords and there are innumerable ways of creating the same chords in different positions and inversions as well as some useful sliding shapes. My own chords shapes are rather different to three other DADGAD players I know well.

I play in DADGAD exclusively on steel acoustic (although I use normal and other tunings on electric and classical). There may well be a better alternative open tuning that someone can recommend.

Best regards,

moo
