Solid GOLD from a great Human being. God bless you Al

[@coreymihailiuk5189]

A great lesson on the inner workings of DADGAD! Al was generous with his discoveries and he will be missed!

[@CharliePutz]

Rest in peace Al Petteway.

[@yogilounge]

Miss you Al. Your teachings live on.

[@Darren-D.C-Cross]

Such a generous man. I wish i had seen him play live for real. An inspiration. Rest in Peace. Darren - Down Under 🦘

RIP. Your music has literally changed my life. A amazingly inspirational player and composer. Thank you.

[@steffenpfeifer5839]

So is this really the last video he made ?? He was such an incredibly good musician, composer, teacher ...person. Eventhough I never met him and didn't know him personally it feels like having lost a friend. Rest in peace Al aund keep on playing - wherever you are now!

Simplicity is a sign of mastery. Al is the epitome of a Master and is very likely entertaining the angels.

[@RevHengSure]

Hey this is terrific! What a joy to have Al Petteway teaching DADGAD and fingerstyle on the Dream Guitars channel.These lessons are so helpful. Al radiates a generosity of spirit!

[@DreamGuitars]

I have tremendous respect and admiration for Al’s incredible work and spirit. I’m very grateful to you all for posting this and Al’s other instructional vids. ❤

[@DreamGuitars]

Our pleasure!

Like this lesson very creative and allows for some just kicking it around to get a feel and then see if I can it and run with it. Very cool sounds. Thanks!

[@johnlind5819]

Al is always full of joy and love of music! He is also very inspiring. I agree that aging is the craps and looking for ways to continue our love of music while our elbows and fingers hurt is a nice goal. Father Time is undefeated, but I refuse to quit playing... I look forward to the next lesson Al! Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA

[@DreamGuitars]

Thanks, John!

[@coolshot3934]

I have admired Al's playing for many years. He has been an inspiration. I have also greatly admired his musical spirit and his willingness to freely share his knowledge. This was an excellent lesson and I thank him for it. His music lives on, now and forever.

Fantastic lesson I came to open tuning many years ago and it opened up a whole new world. A Master Matt - Taylor 814ce Builders Edition Hudson Valley, NY

Thanks for this!!! As we age, it is great to see people reinventing their technical approach to the instrument in order to continue to express themselves through the instrument! Also, while being a doctor myself, I wholeheartedly concur with your reconsidering what your doctor advised you to give up. I once turned down chemo and radiation for a cancer because the cost and risk did not justify the means. But I had the technical understanding to best weigh the pros and cons in the context of my personal values. Doctors who fail to talk to their patients are like "no use at all"!!! People have their sense of personal meaning that every doctor needs to be aware of in order to provide them with care for their body and mind. We've got to re-humanize medicine. It's like those olympians who are told they will never ski again after they fracture their spines. When something means so much to you, you must try to find a way to continue before you simply completely redefine yourself. Of course, you may be crazy...in which case, I suppose you'll find out soon enough.

Glad you like it!

[@christopherwilliams7222]

Awesome Al! Much appreciated on the Dminor and Dmajor Dadgad secrets. Man the Minor sounds are hauntingly beautiful!!!

[@mgie22]

I love the Blue Ridge Suite! Thanks so much for sharing your secrets :)

[@DreamGuitars]

Great! We're planning a more formal lesson on the Blue Ridge Suite with Al. Stay tuned for that.

[@alastair6356]

Great tips form Al playing in DADGAD . Looking forward to the next lesson. 🤩👍

[@fredrmckinney6112]

Great tips Al, lots of fun!

[@DreamGuitars]

[@terrytaz8914]

[@DreamGuitars]

Enjoy!

[@robertglowinski5617]

Wow

[@MassimilianoFiorindo]

Very interesting lesson, thank you!

[@DreamGuitars]

Glad you liked it!

I wouldn't say the third string is a problem. It's useful for certain sounds and if you're descending I find it's easier to play the note on the third string vs the second at times. It makes playing two notes a semitone apart ring together easier too

[@girliedog]

This is really good stuff, I would be interested in how this idea can be applied to the Mixolydian mode.

[@focaa2235]

Everyone makes guitar looks so easy. Even playing the same notes sounds better from this guy
