@ThrashRoC You must be stunned,to make a comment like that, theres only 36 seconds of this clip.He was a great Strat player,but if you check out any clips of him playing acoustic you may realize he was one of the best guitarist's ever.
@Lizzardpeople I put links in for you but it read error when I tried to post it. Search for "Shady Grove," "Lady Margaret," and "The Cuckoo" on YouTube. They are all songs in the mixolydian mode which are commonly played on banjo in the G modal or sawmill tuning, the DADGAD tuning in G without the two bottom strings.
Davey Graham certainly did not invent DADGAD tuning. It's been used by generations of american banjo players. The tuning facilitates playing in mixolydian mode, the major scale with a diminished seventh.
No. The banjo tuning you have in mind (for some versions of "Shady Groves", "The Cuckoo" etc.) is gDGCD and so has little to do with the DADGAD guitar tuning.
can some1 answer me dis did rory copy jimmi or the oder way round cos listin to jimmy pages song White Summer/Black Mountain Side and it sounds nerly da same as dis..plz answer me nice1
Well copy is a harsh word. Jimmy Page's "Black Mountain Side" is based on Bert Jansch's "Black Waterside." Bert Jansch in turn was hugely influenced by Davey Graham who is the man who popularised, and some say invented, the tuning DADGAD. Davey Graham also played "She Moved Thro' The Fair" in this tuning and so did Bert Jansch and then Jimmy Page incorporated elements of it into "White Summer/Black Mountainside."
Rory is Irish so he, like me or a lot of other Irish people, would have heard the tune "She Moved Thro' The Fair" while growing up. The tune isn't native to guitar so Rory probably chose to play it on guitar because he was influenced by Bert Jansch and probably Davey Graham but would probably have known it anyway.
So to answer your question neither Gallagher or Page copied it off eachother but people will say Page copied it from Jansch.
The very version you mention is included on the free cd in this month's (May '09) MOJO magazine.... Nick Drake is on the cover - I recommend you pick it up!.
why did you cut it! I remember he's starting "out on a western plain" just after this traditional song!
I've been looking for the 94' lorient festival version for a while. Do you have it by any chance and could you eventually post it? I discovered Rory watchin' the lorient festival on tv. He played "out on a western place" and I was just blown by the beauty of this song. Cheers
sorry , rory , but could you just play your strat please ?
i like rory gallhager , and he s a hell of a cool strat cat , but this was not good ...sounds like hes learning tis song

Why does this clip only last 36 seconds ? I'd rather see the rest of this clip more than anything else.

Could you please upload the "Out on the western plain" that followed after this? There used to be a video of it but it got deleted.

OK - he was an exemplary guitar player, this is a very good arrangement, and by the way, it all comes from Davy Graham!!

Also the 1968 Sandy Denny& Fairport version is EXQUISITE and would have shown up on many a turntable in the sixties.
Of course, it was a well known tune from Ireland but the Fairport really put out a haunting rendition.
