28 Jan 07 - 05:46 PM (#1950727) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: Cluin Even better, IMO, learn what notes make up a chord and find those notes in the new tuning. Experiment with leaving more strings open or finger other notes to add to the chords. Experiment. It's more fun that way, will work with any new (or old) tuning, and will help you to develop your own "sound". And you might even learn something along the way. Hey, Hey, Hey! |

28 Jan 07 - 05:58 PM (#1950740) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: Big Al Whittle I tend to agree - part of the fun of open tunings is surely that it helps you to think more fluidly about the music, and not get hung up with tonic, sub dominant, dominant, relative minor cliches. Still you go about it any way you want - there are no rules. I would recommend martin Simpsons excellent instructional DVD on open tunings. And what really got me into open tunings was meeting a great guitarist, namely Ken Nicol (Steeleye Span) at a seminar at Fylde folk festival. he showed me ways of playing DADGAD, that were a revelation. I had previously thought it was just for these busy bee Irish rhythm players, and traddy balladeers. A good guitarist who can explain himself will show you a lot quicker than trawling through the websites and instruction books. |

28 Jan 07 - 07:24 PM (#1950795) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: GUEST How is DADGAD 'the best' open tuning? It's boring! Everything sounds the same. Make up your own tunings instead. |

28 Jan 07 - 08:41 PM (#1950842) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: LukeKellylives (Chris) I agree with the guest above me. I made up a very nice sounding tuning...And forgot it. :p Moral of the story: Always write things down. >.< |

29 Jan 07 - 01:57 AM (#1950977) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: Big Al Whittle 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. |

29 Jan 07 - 04:35 AM (#1951003) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: The Sandman the important thing in any tuning is to analyse inversions,understand how chords are constructed,and then experiment with doubling or even trebling certain notes of the chord to give you different colour,its great fun and can be done in standard as well. |

29 Jan 07 - 07:07 AM (#1951070) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: bubblyrat Like I said on another thread, you can do a lot with dropped-D & double dropped-D .I use these all the time now, and I have discovered a lot of interesting 2& 3 finger chords,just by experimentation.And it"s great fun !! |

29 Jan 07 - 05:37 PM (#1951655) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: The Sandman IN DADGAD,youcan playa d modalchord or dyad, dadaad on second fret third string ,with one finger.you can also play daddad with one finger on third string 7th fret, or dadddd two fingers on 7 th fret,second and third strings,three different, d modal dyads or chords. In STANDARD TUNING lots of different two fingered e7,and 2 two fingered a 7,are available,two different inversions of d major[apart from barre versions]an e modal ebebbe,two different a minor chords,two different a major chords,as well as long a [a modal]. if you use the middle four strings only,c modal and g modal and your ordinary d major becomes d modal,if you stretch your pinky to the first string, d modal on five strings,[E]ADADA.I find standard tuning good for a minor and a major,keys I sing in quite a lot..BEST Thing is to draw guitar fingerboard in diagram,then you see them.hope this helps.look out for a major, e 7, and d major around the fifth fret. |

29 Jan 07 - 05:42 PM (#1951669) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: The Sandman correction dadddd is obtained on 9 fret and 7 fret. in standard tuning use c shape, for a chord 5 fret, and c7 for e7. |

29 Jan 07 - 05:42 PM (#1951670) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: Big Al Whittle Thankyou - I'll try that. |

29 Jan 07 - 11:21 PM (#1951966) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: Phil Cooper I play in DADGAD a lot. Mostly because I'm too lazy in song circles to retune. Tunings are limiting (even standard). I like working around limitations. I've found I can do a lot of backup playing around other musicians in keys other than D and not be intrusive. As I have told other beginning guitar students (where I teach in standard tuning): you can make the guitar as easy or as complicated as you want. |

30 Jan 07 - 06:28 AM (#1952170) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: The Sandman sory wld ,its not quite a c shape at 5 fret.,its second string 5 fret,third string 6 fret,fourth string 7 fret. if you make a c7 shape at third fret you have d7 plus 9,sometimes can be used instead of d7,the same shape at 5 fret is e 7. b7 shape at 6 fret gives you another e 7,there is a two fingered e 7[modal] at 7 fret fifth string and7 fret third string EEDDBE,All this is standard tuning so you have three chord trick all around fifth and seventh fret,lots of options for e 7,and an alternative d major chord ist string5 fret,second string 7 fret, third string 7 fret,http://www.dickmiles.com |

30 Jan 07 - 08:32 PM (#1953041) Subject: RE: Chord Req: DADGAD tuning From: Brendy I've been asked over the years to put a few songs up on my own website by a few DAGDAD aficionados, so if you want to you can download a few and see what you think as to the limitations or otherwise of the tuning. Click HERE. The John Martyn song, "I Don't Want To Know" is in DAFDAD, and "Black Is The Colour" is in Standard. The rest are in DAGDAD. All the best. B. |
