Hello. Im looking for some help to start playing in DADGAD. I'm not much of a reader due to being dyslexic. So I am wondering if anybody has a got any tips on how to start out and pitfalls to watch out for? CF x

Hey Fellow acoustic brother. guitarist, obviously advanced for DADGAD. I do not want to speak for him, but I recall probably about 15 years ago which I had no idea that time was the beginning only of his success, he played in Philadelphia around New Year’s eve New Year’s celebration and I had never seen anything like it then. I had led music worship and other things and was pretty good myself but saw that and felt like a pitiful street performer. Actually I shouldn’t say that because most of them are better than the professionals at least in the subways or shall I say well I forgot what you call them over the pond but the Lou maybe. Joking. Many how anyhow, that night he performed again acoustic only with his feet playing base and performing his percussion beats with his guitar tapping along with his fingers running up that fretboard playing the harmonics I just didn’t comprehend it. I’ve played drums and guitar a few things otherwise but to play three at once and sing and sing well well that’s mine boggling to me. I didn’t approach him afterwards because he wasn’t as big of a star I supposed in but this was a small setting and standing in the back near me where we were sitting I walked up to him and asked him what tuning is that. He told mE DADFAD. No doubt he has several tunings he’s played and probably uses the other as well but I tried what he recommended and it sounded incredible. I would look forward to this course under him and show me how to play the cords and such maybe even the runs with one finger doing a scale on one finger harmonics. While I cannot do that with 5! Perhaps that helps a bit. But I’m sure he has many secrets. that helps a bit especially in his first few tunes in the big album drop that was a home run; or whatever it’s called when you play cricket. Joke. Cheers. - Will
