Celtic Style Strumming Pattern - Guitar Lessons

Nate Savage of www.guitarlessons.com explains the Celtic style strumming pattern using DADGAD tuning on an 814ce.

DADGAD is used in this lesson, but the strumming pattern presented here works well for drop D and standard tunings too. If you have never messed with DADGAD tuning before you are in for a treat. It is very cool sounding and it is not too difficult to jump right into and make some great sounding music. Once you get your guitar tuned to DADGAD you can make a D chord by simply putting your 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string and strumming all six strings. This is the chord that we will be using throughout this lesson.

Sounds great!

I LOVE learning new strums and picking patterns. I am so glad I found this channel so I can have something to sit in front of and learn with. With my brand new Taylor 614ce of course!

I must respectfully disagree. With only limited exposure, I am able to draw indisputable conclusions upon an entire brand, conclusions which transcend the myth of "personal preference."

For example, in shopping for a sports car recently, I was able to quickly dismiss everything Chevrolet had to offer simply by visiting a lot and sitting in a few cars one afternoon. And I owned Chevy Cavalier once and didn't like it, which is indicative that Chevy's are all junk. No doubt about it.

@mautsukuda That's what I'd think too. Sounds excellent by all means.

@ichalz That's really sad if you base your opinions on preconceived notions and popular trends. You should go out and experience things for yourself!! I've played several Taylor's at Guitar Center and I used to own a 210. Check them out, and form your own opinion, don't follow popular trends.

@chessdude67 looks like a 816ce

I love basing opinions on preconceived notions, determining what I do and do not like based on arbitrary statements and popular trends. It would be terrible to live my life with any grasping of relative concepts.
