Yo! Here's a brief guitar lesson on one of my favourite open tunings, DADGAD. Famously used by Jimmy Page on the Led Zeppelin track "Kashmir", and often heard in Celtic music. Try this out with some slide guitar, it should work a treat too. Grab your guitar, tune up, and jam along!
I'm playing my 2007 ‪@fender‬ Baja Telecaster (made in Mexico) into an ‪@OriginEffectsUK‬ MAGMA 57, into a ‪@milkmansound‬ The Amp 50 (DI into Logic Pro X)

I loved the "major turd" @4:18 😂 Made my day, thank you

[@tangobayus]

You can play a lot of things in DADGAD. Blues, Classical, old tunes. I play with a pick. It works better than open D when you are at the F#-G point. F# on 4 then G on 3.

[@panhandlerguitars2161]

Very well done young man. I’ve been playing guitar for many many years. I am 68 years old and just now getting into open tuning’s. Thank you for this information and I plan on pursuing this because it is freaking awesome. Thank you.

[@mrbigglesworth_Official]

7:44 I automatically went "that spoon that spoon that spoon full" nice one.

[@WillieBeard]

Just heard it😊

[@jenyatungus6130]

Thanks bro. I recently started learning DADGAD, blues fan, thank you for your video. I would like to see more blues in this tuning with your explanations. With great respect from Russia... 🇷🇺🤝🇮🇪

[@neilritson7445]

Good to start with the reason for doing this. Unblocking. But there is a wider reason - think Jackson Browne's steel guitar backing on the earlier songs. There is a world of slide guitar out there!!

[@timseibel6507]

I've been in a rut lately and have been playing around with open tunings to get out of it. Your videos on this have been really helpful and a ton of fun. Thank you for this!

[@dukeofearl4117]

It sounds like you could loop the little starting riff and the you could really make it interesting.

[@fordsrestorations970]

I've been hitting around on these licks for years on regular guitar but now I'm going to purchase one specific guitar just to have it in open tunings

[@JoeyWeidner]

[@twelvemeister]

nice one joey ,not many electric dadgad lessons about .. laney supercub amp is good yes? i thought of gettin one . ?

[@twelvemeister]

ps mate you really brought it home to me how geared up for octaves it is

[@cardinia1]

so discovered your channel sub it coz i lub it the passion the Rory with the story get it man

[@edelcorrallira]

Ill be frank, this is completely new to me; only tried DGDGBD (never understood why Keith decommissioned that low D), standard drop D, Eb and bari (B) tuning. But this is completely new to me. Sounds like Zeppelin has this tonal palate, really nice stuff. Edit Wouldn't it make more sense to have an F# instead of a G? In fact I'd say even an F so you can just sharpen it with a finger... Anyway love the sound just curious, guess that means I'll be trying it later.

[@glaurung666]

I prefer DADFAD, which is minor D open tuning, sounds dark and sometimes creepy, just like Clint Eastwood would like when his Man Without Name kills one more bad guy.

[@tommitchell6620]

Is it eaiser to tune to open G or just change the strings out ?

[@antskelton7009]

What gauge strings are you using here?

[@scorp4165]

Thanks sadly I’m definitely a major turd

[@SGProductions87]

hehe he said "flatten your turd"

[@MrBrixon10]

I dont mean any offense, I really enjoy your lessons but I cant help but laugh when you say things like flatten your turd.

[@nels52]

Sadly, my playing is full of major turds.

[@e3zer0]

lol. I kept hearing major turds. Besides that, I did learn a lot about DADGAD. Thanks for the lesson!

[@billyclub9863]

I really enjoyed this. You got more in the same style?
