- In this lesson we go over some acoustic dynamics for Irish & folk music on guitar in DADGAD tuning.
I think this is pretty essential stuff to know and get down solid.
It allows you to express yourself so much more and improves your acoustic playing.

".....You can pause..." THANK YOU! I hate long winded videos (20 min long with 4 min of content). I'd rather pause and or go faster. I will be checking out more of your stuff. Great job!
Amazing tutorial. Most helpful. Many thanks, Aodan.
You're very welcome!
SO Good! I'm going to go pick up the guitar right now!
Sweet. Let me know how the strumming goes! 🤟
Awesome! Thank you
No prob Alesia, glad you found it helpful 👍
Any suggestions on plectrum thickness? I've always used a 0.60 Dunlop and never anything else (I have no reason for this other than that the way it's always been and I don't like change).
Hi Steve, sorry about the delay in reply. I've been away on tour for the past 9 weeks and just catching up on things now. I use a 0.60 Tortex Dunlop (The orange one) I just find it's great for strumming and a bit of picking. But when I'm recording and want the best tone out of my guitar I use the BlueChip TP48. It's very pricey for a plectrum, but doesn't wear down like other picks so will last for a lifetime. It's also a very heavy plectrum which takes time to get used to, especially when doing triplets or fast strumming. Hope that helps. Cheers
Hi, when you pick up the tempo, are you still picking four strings in each chord?
Hi Jeff, good question. It will depend on the situation or tune that I'm playing. Sometimes if the tune calls for a bigger sound I'll strum all six stings. If not I'll keep it to the four stings. Either in the low register or on the treble side. It's good to practice mixing things up moving from picking to strumming, different tempos, fewer strings etc. It's the overall dynamic element I'd be focusing in on, ideally it will simply compliment the melody player. Hope that helps.
Yeah, but that’s when you’re strumming, right? I’m talking about when you are actually picking individual strings in the video you posted. During the alternate picking exercise, you practiced picking four strings, but when you brought everything together and up to speed, did you change the pattern? Thanks!
Hi Jeff, I get you. I had to watch the video again to see. I start picking the low D, middle D, G and high D strings when I speed up. I have a lesson on that too. Here's the link - czcams.com/video/CAtsB1FslUgy/video.htmla As I say in the video it's not a precise art by any means. But the general alternating picking motion is the same. And if you were to keep the picking focused just on the low D, low A, middle D and G strings like I teach at the start of this video it'll produce a tighter, less open sound which comes in handy now and again. That can be mixed in with a focused strum on those strings and maybe some muting. Sorry if it was confusing when I mixed things up.
Awesome, thanks. Very helpful!
