Learn These Awesome Blues Licks In DADGAD Tuning

In this video, I show you how to play tasty blues licks in DADGAD tuning.
These blues licks sound great when played against the drone of low open strings, as well as an actual backing track.
In this lesson, you will first learn the DADGAD Blues Scale from which the licks come.
I then show you several tasty sounding blues licks in DADGAD, utilising the beautiful sounding characteristics of this tuning.
These licks are easy to play and sound awesome.
I then show you simple ways to provide both the solo parts made up of these DADGAD licks, and the chords that back them, at the same time on one guitar.

Great harmonics in DADGAD. 5 inverted 5ths and one 5th. It's common to have ringing strings while playing notes. I play with the fat side of a pick. I played open D for several years. DADGAD is better at F#-G than open D is.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Glad you liked the video @tangobayus! I also use the fat/round side of the pick when using a plectrum. I prefer the tone I get :)

[@tangobayus]

@@acousticguitarlessons It's more like a rest stroke with nails.

[@jakoo972]

Thanks for your explanations and what you give us Your guitar has a beautiful sound. What wood ? And what strings and gauge ? Thanks

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are very welcome Jackoo972! The soundboard is made form Sitka Spruce with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. I use Elixir strings 80/20 bronze 12 gauge. Glad you like the sound. This make of Maton guitar was discontinued some time ago, over 10 years now I think.

[@jakoo972]

Thanks. I now understand it’s spécific sound . The alliage of mapple neck and rosewood this beautiful wound. And with the sitka it’s marvellous. Super 👍🏽

[@phyllisanderson4853]

do you tune up or down to get DADGAD

[@phyllisanderson4853]

NO ANSWER?

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@phyllisanderson4853, you tune 3 of your strings down: Low E string down to D B string down to A High E string down to D Make sense? :)
