PERFECT.... Except for one shape, to my ears anyway! Try adding the second string, second fret, to the third cord of the intro and when it goes around every time! Just like the second chord shape but both fingers moved up one string. The same shape as when sliding back and forth between the 2nd and 4th frets. Let me know what you think about sounding like the studio recording! Thanks for delivering quality help and appreciating accuracy. Rare these days! Years ago, I had this video lesson on a site called Vanderbilly. They died, and so did the video! OUCH! The link was on a site as well called The Fifth Fret. Now there's a replacement written lesson the same as yours. I have a strobe tuner. I find after I put the Capo on the 6th fret, the tuning needs to be tweaked because it goes off a bit with the capo that far up the neck.. And it's what they do in recording studios to make sure every instrument is IN TUNE. Rather than any being a few cents high. Oh the Pain. LOL It rings beautifully when tweaked! "Be My Downfall" uses DADGAD Capo'd 5th fret! Another Del Amitri Beauty! Cheers!

Beautiful song, great, lesson and rendition. Need her more than even clowns need the laughter of the crowd. Justin’s lyrics are amazing.

I saw Del Amitri 2 days ago in Oslo. Was standing 5 meters from the stage and payed close attention to the guitarist when they were doing this song. I think you were bang on mate!

Welcome!

[@michaelash9368]

This is great, have been playing the standard tuning version and never felt it sounded right but could hear straight away from the start you'd nailed it. Good work.

[@cryingjaggs3895]

Ty so much. Glad I could help out!

[@hbg423]

Thx bro!

[@rorymccallum9638]

Brilliant love the way you taught that...... thank you!

[@gertvanrooy428]

Great lesson. Up til now I just couldnt figure out those chords in the verse. Thanks mate. Oh, and I bet you Justin doesn't know the chord names either. But this song definitely lets that celtic quality of DADGAD shine.
