Understanding DADGAD

Laurence Juber is a two-time GRAMMY winner and former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney and Wings, and one of the most respected solo acoustic guitarists around. In this course he opens up DADGAD, the alternate tuning behind so much Celtic and contemporary fingerstyle, for players who want to get beyond standard tuning.

Juber explains the tuning itself and why it works so well for solo guitar, then teaches seven well-known melodies as DADGAD arrangements - Amazing Grace, Greensleeves, Shebeg and Shemore, Shenandoah, Wayfaring Stranger, When the Saints Go Marching In and Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Along the way you'll see how DADGAD's open strings and drones let you voice chords and melody together and build memorable arrangements of your own.
