He makes my hair stand on end. His feel is incredible. He caresses the instrument in such a profound way. There's always someone better than you. And for most people, Pierre is that someone. ;-)

This has to be the best Intro to DADGAD on YouTube. Too many people just talk about the tunings and how you play it - Pierre talks about how you feel it. Awesome.

I've gotta say, that hop technique is pretty cool. I'm going to have to try it out!

@CelticSound65 Medium or medium/ light are fine. Depending on the action of your guitar, since your tuning down a little... Some adjustment could be necessary,but only if your guitar already has a very low action. You could also check out partial capos like the Kyser short cut capo, puts it in Esus tuning, which is basically a raised DADGad tuning.

I've always been a standard tuning guitarist but later went on to bouzouki and mandolin because I was able to express my playing better, however I may want to go back to guitar but tune it to DADGAD. do I have to change my string gauges for this tuning and if so, what gauges do any of you recommend? Thanks!

I had the privilege of making a signature guitar for this guy around 10 years ago when i worked for Lowden Guitars. What a guitar player

Loved your heart felt espression on the open strings. It rings beautifully.

"DADGAD is not playing the music -- you are playing the music." So true, and yet I've never thought of it before. This guy is awesome.

Wow, I could listen to this guy talk and play all day. Very insightful, interesting stuff.
