The DAGDGAD tuning, in which 3 of the 6 guitar strings are each tuned a tone lower, is very popular in the fingerstyle guitar scene.
Above all, guitarists like Pierre Bensusan, Laurence Juber, Ian Melrose or Franco Morone have contributed to making it popular. It is also very popular for playing Irish tunes.
There are harmonic and melodic reasons for the specific DADGAD sound, which are the starting point of this course.
However, the author is not interested in transferring standard tuning chords to open tuning, instead he approaches the topic in a practical and tuning-specific manner. Scales such as D-Dorian or A-Dorian can be played particularly elegantly in DADGAD tuning, harmonies such as D-sus 4 or e 6/9 can be played particularly easily in DADGAD and make up the specific sound of the tuning.
Ulli Bögershausen composed all the practice and concert pieces for this introduction himself and, with the help of beautiful melodies, leads step by step into the secrets of DADGAD tuning. Some of the titles can be seen in the solo program of every guitar concert.
