I've just received my copy of your book Backing Guitar techniques for Traditional Celtic Music. It's a fabulous book! I've been playing the guitar for 53 years, including three years studying Classical Guitar at the London College of Music, and your book is going to open up a lot of ways of approaching accompanying Trad tunes that I wasn't aware of. Thanks!

Getting back into seisuns again and this is a great way to work out the cobwebs!

Play more, talk less . But nice lesson thanks 🙏

Awesome!

Exactly what I needed! Thanks

There is one physical advantage of DADGAD tuning. Since its a lower tune, the pressure of the strings on the board is lower. Its better for the strings and the instrument time life.

fantastic instruction :) Could you play a song in D so we could try and play along?

what a great arrangement!! very exciting and fresh. I am definitely stealing some of those elements to impress my session friends ;p especially the fast chord changes in calliope house are driving it in a really nice way.

I just bought a violin and want to learn jigs

Thanks!

good, what key should I solo in that it sounds good? Mixolydian?

good video

❤ awesome video - so clear ! Detailed and short! Thankyou!

Best of the Best!

Greetings from Ireland, thanks for that, can't believe I had to learn that from someone in Sheffield. Go Raigh maith agat

fantastic!!! this is so useful !!!!! I can use this for both my guitar and my harp.

I've been playing guitar for so many years and neaver learn the theory. This is blowing my mind!! thanks :)

?? Why not just play the correct chords? Em ? F#m ? G? Not that hard in DADGAD, and you get a movable chord shape from them. Why not help guitarists be better guitarists, instead of lazy guitarists?

🤠

OK. We know all the chord shapes. We've practiced various rhythms over and over and NOW. I want to have some tips on how to weave melodies and chords together to produce pieces that could entertain my friends. For example, they won't be impressed with me strumming the backing to a fiddle tune that isn't there! And, simply playing the melody of a fiddle tune -without an accompaniment -sounds very "thin". So, when playing a fiddle tune, how, where and when do we insert chords, or bits of chords?

Thanks for this. Good to see your fingers and what they're doing later on in the video. Please don't put loud noises as transitions between chapters, really hurts when you're listening on headphones and get assaulted with a high-pitched, piercing sound louder than the video. PS it would help people to find this if you had 'Teaching the Kerfunken in DADGAD' in the title! I stumbled across it purely by accident.

Hi, I bought your beginner book (transaction ref : 20N62415B2279281), but for some reason, I couldn't get the downloading link... can you help please ?

Very useful and informative - thanks!

great

Any way you could reupload this tab somewhere? 😂

very good thanks

I bought the beginner book

the book seems like the go

More please

Thank you! It is confusing for me to learn where I am with a new tuning, but I love this one!

I dropped all my parcels

Man thanks a MILLION for these 4 parts videos! So useful, I learned so much from it. You're such a great teacher! Simple efficient way to teach, thank you so much! ☀️🎶 Wish you the best

just a beginner but know the chords in standard tuning, I always loved the Celtic music!

Really really wish the moment you say something that is teaching something musical, you demonstrate it. The whole tappy foot thing in this or that beat to resolve is nonsensical to me. You are asking the verbal parts of the brain to "imagine" the musical bound rhythm of something you are not hearing. For me, I am instantly lost in the sauce.

Brilliant tutorial just what I needed, thank you☘️👍

Just by chance, has anyone used your DADGAD method using a Baritone ukulele tuned DGAD?

Brilliant!

Try the Bm (starting on the third and seventh bar at the A section) and Em (starting on the third and seventh bar at the B section).

Thanks a lot ,very useful.cheers from Brittany

Lovely tutorial🥰

🎉

I've been looking for you for ages!

that mushroom treatment one was funky asf

A beautiful breakdown of Dennis's technique, thank you. You show so much respect for him which I share with you.

Much appreciated. Thanks

Please tune that guitar

Very helpful. Thank-you!

Thank you so much for this, perfect for bouzouki, accordion etc as well

The late, great Grant Baynham played in dropped D all the time. His playing was mesmeric.

Wonderful- thank you. These types of fundamentals are so valuable. Looking forward to a lot of experimenting!
