In this video
In this lesson we're looking at a piece in an alternate tuning - DADGAD. This is one of the most popular alternate tunings, and it's a fairly common tuning in folk music. We're assigning one finger to one string again, but this time we've changed which finger plays which string compared to the previous videos.
Lesson aims
- Tune your guitar to DADGAD and get a feel for the tuning
- Pay attention to the syncopation in the later section of the piece
- Lean to play the full piece
