How to play the DADGAD Blues

Thanks to everyone who watched my DADGAD Blues video and asked for a lesson! I'm not a teacher, or even that clean of a guitar player but here it is and I hope you get something from it. The DADGAD Blues was really just an idea I was playing with, so this video shows a few of those ideas. Let me know if this helps at all or if there are questions. Thanks - terry

@cameronmurie I'm glad you liked it, thanks! I hope you've kept working on DADGAD, it's a great tuning with a different sound.

Hey Terry, great ideas....thanks a million. You've given me something to look forward to when my wrist gets out of plaster! (Had some surgery on a very old injury just so I can keep playing; another 2 weeks before I can play again.)

Happy picking, from another Irish transplant in Australia

@ChomFa You're welcome, and I hope you're back playing again.

Very helpful...thank you.

Although I've been noodling around on guitars for 20 some odd years, I've never really made a genuine commitment towards exploring the DADGAD ''spectrum''.

Thanks again and keep on playing !

@aldobu1990 Sorry for the slow reply!  It's an Alvarez Bicentennial model built in 1976. I bought it new in 1977, and I still play it nearly every day.

@ingeewung Nope, not a teacher, but I'm glad you got something out of it. Thanks!
