	DADGAD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The suitability of DADGAD to Celtic music is that it facilitates the use of a number of moveable chords which retain open strings which act as a drone on either the bass or treble strings, approximating the voicings used in traditional celtic pipe music.
		DADGAD tuning was also used by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin in the late '60s and early '70s.
		Page later revisited the DADGAD tuning for the song Kashmir, which appeared on the band's sixth album Physical Graffiti.

	Peterson Tuners Forum 2006 - DADGAD
		DADGAD is a pretty popular guitar tuning these days.
		With modal tunings like DADGAD however, success would be contingent on excellent action on acoustic guitar, which is not always the case.
		You yourself can find a tuning which sounds ideal and duly measure and record the offsets for your particular acoustic guitar, that was the intention behind making the tuners programmable.

	Dadgad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		DADGAD or D modal tuning was popularised by British folk Guitarist Davey Graham.
		He used this guitar tuning to produce a song called Black mountain side, which at the time was a revolutionary piece which proved his worth as a rock legend.
		There is a striking similarity between Jimmy's playing of this piece and Bert Jansch's guitar arrangement of a traditional Irish song called "Blackwater Side." DADGAD gets its name from the tuning of the guitar strings.

		Also after taking a quick look at the DADGAD chart that EC so kindly linked too, the fingerings for "regular" chords (majors, minors and 7ths) seem to be pretty tricky.
		Larry, I read that story when I was a kid, but the thought of seeing the stars for the very first time has never left me. Over the years, I have kind of softened the social disruption element, and given the concept more of a Zen twist.

	The Session: Discussions - DADGAD or Dropped D?
		Re: DADGAD or Dropped D? Mark -- there's these replacement tuner mechanisms with a little lever on that allows you to flip the little lever and drop the tuning accurately to the E on the fly.
		Re: DADGAD or Dropped D? I think Jocklet's "lack of tonal color comment" re: capos and DADGAD is a valid one which is why, as a DADGAD player, I tend not to use a capo that much.
		For fingerpicking tunes seems DADGAD is already progammed into the neuro-paths in my brain....play entirely by ear and have trouble with reading music or tab, so shall stick with what works.

		With DADGAD, in general, the chords have the bottom string and one or more higher strings ringing out the root tonality of the tune.
		Again, notice that there is always a D drone throughout all the patterns, reinforcing the pedal tone of the tunes.
		Although he doesn't play DADGAD, he's a lot like Junji Shirota in that he plays lots of arpeggios, not as many scales, but Dennis follows the melody like a hawk, dabbing at the melody like a painter at his canvas.

	DADGAD
		It is the combination of the 4th and the fifths that give DADGAD tuning it's characteristic starkness, it's droning quality, and its banjo or fiddle-like sound.
		By the way, it is also very common for users of DADGAD tuning to capo up to the fifth fret, effectively changing the key to G. So feel free to try any of these chords with a capo on your fifth fret.
		DADGAD tuning is great for fingerpicking, both for solo work and accompaniment.

	The Session: Discussions - DADGAD - guitar strings
		This is expensive unless you are buying a lot of strings,so get together with other DADGAD guitarists that live close-by.
		These strings usually don't come wrapped in plastic but are sold in tubes eg 20 of one string type/gauge in one tube.
		They're not particularly expensive, which is certainly a prime consideration for me; but I also like how the bass (4,5 and 6) strings retain a good, solid sound for a nice stretch of time before I have to replace them.
