With those shades I'm getting major Sarah Connor T2 vibes
Dam.. very accurate description.
Three years later this comment got me!
Timeless classic 😂😂😂
I'm so glad Sarah survived.
That’s gorgeous fingerstyle mixolydian Celtic. Kudos
What I find in this tuning is, it makes a self taught guitar player like myself, use their little finger, your pinkie more often.
I write Christian music and sometimes I am asked to play my little tunes. I have been doing it for 40 years, but my playing abilities is limited because I'm self taught. So until I learn the right way, these different tunings are very helpful.
I do use drop D tuning sometimes, but this is DADGAD tuning is oh so pretty.
Thank you
I too have been playing Christian music for 40 plus years but never in DADGAD tuning before. I think I'm excited about the possibilities that this could lead to in my Christian journey. Bless & keep you bro. William from Bonnie Scotland.
I stumbled onto this video and found a real gem! Learned more here in eight minutes than in six lessons. What an inspiration. At 65 years old, it's true. Old dog learns new tricks. Thanks so much, best wishes from the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains, Pennsylvania USA.
Amazing. That does make for beautiful music. I think the birds were enjoying your tunes.
Among my Favorite Guitarists, Composer, Performer, Instructor & overall Excellent Human Being ! As Graceful, Kind, & Humble as She is Talented !
Musically Yours, Jon Stephen
We are also lucky to have CZcams to watch Aldi's talented knowledgeable people sharing all this good stuff
The flat 7 note in D is what helps give it that Irish sound especially if the tune is a slow air, gorgeous guitar too, although DADGAD is associated with Celtic music it was actually developed by English folk player Davy Graham, 👍
Folk music all around the British isles is very similar and shared between all the nations there. Thats because all the peoples are in fact related to each other, even the English.
I hope this opens some ideas for composing for you!

Truefire is incredible, I learn from you there, will check out your channel.
Great video, I'll be sure to check out your channel. I'm an old-school Piedmont player, but always want something new. Thanks!!
@@jesseimpersonal Thanks! truefire.com/h3495
Thank you for heads up on your teaching channel. I put my guitar up 2 yr ago. My heart misses music. Thx again.
By far! Theeeee most informative, illustrative and musical DADGAD I have found on youtube. I did learn today a good thing! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Really helpful introduction to DADGAD
I first watched this 3 years ago I now play in Dadgad all the time. Thanks for showing me the tuning of the Gods. 🤩👍
Muriel: DADGAD has been my nemesis! It has been that illusive "secret" to me for my 60 years of playing guitar. in 8 minutes, you may have opened the door for me! While I subbed at the OTSFM, I never was taught or learned anything about the tuning.
Now, I look forward to rearranging some of the tunes I do for DADGAD! Looking forward to seeing you sometime this year, probably Thanksgiving, but, hopefully EARLIER! Continued success!
Thanks, Norm, I look forward to seeing you again at the Saturday after Thanksgiving concert!
This is by far the best video on CZcams on DADGAD. None that I've seen make it so clear what precisely one gains from using the tuning, i.e. what are its inherent qualities.
Greatly appreciate that the sheet music for Always Coming Home was free, even though there were forms to fill out. Beautiful sounds.
After wading through lots of videos I found yours, and it was like having light bulbs going off in my head. Your comment about scales in the first position being even across the neck gave me the start I had been looking for. My wife has been amazed, my 12 fret short scale hog/blackwood Taylor never sounded more resonant and I've probably strained my shoulder playing all kinds of made up tunes in the last 90 minutes. THANK YOU!!!
Love your flatted seventh too... It is a gift to be able to simplify what for many people is hugely complicated. You got it " guitariste".
Beautiful songs, Muriel. Thanks for the lesson!
Tremendous playing! Thanks for posting.
i cannot express by words my deepest appreciation for Muriel Anderson sweet and encouraging lessons ! Thanks so much!
What a great lesson and such wonderful music. You play beautifully.
Quite beautiful and inspiring, Muriel. Super guitar as well. Thank you.
Your song on my way home was inspiring and I am excited in learning DADGAD tuning. Thank You very much
What a great lesson! Gives you freedom to enjoy music! Thanks master!
Just discovered DADGAD and I'm loving it!! Your playing is inspirational!!! 😍😍
What a beautiful guitar that is and you are such a pleasure to listen to, Muriel!
thank you Muriel. that was so helpful
I've long been a fan of your music, now I'm also a fan of your teaching. Great clarity and simplicity. Love it! Thank you for sharing these DADGAD insights and I hope you'll share more. The more we can take thinking out of music, the more music we can make. You just helped me do that.
Beautiful tunes. I just start really delving into alternate timings and it's opened up so many possibilities.
That's a lovely introduction to DADGAD Muriel, thank you. I'm re-tuning right now. :)
Wow you're good ! Thank you. Beautiful tuning indeed ! I love the "Celtic" sound of it 💙
Lovely job Muriel ... thanks for sharing !
Wonderful compositions Muriel. Thanks.
Very much dig this tutorial. Really gives a new approach to my playing. Thanks
Definitely Muriel, gives some great ideas, especially for a guy who just got another new Martin and promised himself to dig deep into celtic fingerstyle and different tunings. Having a great time with it so vids like this are golden. Thank you! - Phil
I Just Love Your Playing So Much!..Thank You For The Great Lesson!:)..I Wish You Much Very Peace :)
On my way home very nice melody quit relaxing to listen thanks for sharing Muriel!!!
Loved those patterns!I am mostly a rhythm player and I absolutely love the richness of open chords that can be played in DADGAD tuning, Thank you for the tips.! Going to try it! Keep it coming!
Incredible playing and great rundown. I'm probably not as experienced as some of the other commenters, but I've been finally tapping into improvisation after a couple years of playing, and DADGAD seems amazing for it, it's half already familiar and the other half just beautiful sounding. Hearing how you play it was awe-inspiring. Your explanation was good, too, right to the point.
Also, Long Island, represent lol
What a fun way to work in DADGAD, thanks for sharing, and I look forward to using this with students as well.
Wonderful lesson! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. Such a confidence builder! Time to tune one of my guitars to DADGAG and take off the training wheels!
It does give me inspiration , good starting or reference points in that tuning. You do nice work
Super Hero Holding the key of life :)
May Peace Be with you
every time we hold on to it
every time it feels we die a little bit.
It bleeds us out with these vibratic emotions of release. and rebirth.
DAGAD is great key opener to the wonders of this world.
Brilliant!! Awesome tutorial!! Thanks so much!!
Nice. That pretty much doubles my understanding of DADGAD. Thanks !
Wow just beautiful!

Beautiful, the birds were singing along Muriel. 🎸🕊️💓🦉.
That's really useful and your pieces are beautiful. Thank you.
I like the squiggly lines bit. A very good lesson Muriel, I've struggled with DADGAD over the years on and off but you've put into perspective for me. I have only just come across you and I think you're an amazing guitarist and tutor. Thank you.
Very cool! And great energy too! THX
Beautiful Music, lovely played!
Lenny Breau. .. and now you !!! My playing is from a different place ... but it is LOVING yours! !! Thank you x

Wonderful tips Ma'am. That hammer and pull off play is so good. I love it. (practicing)
So beautiful!!!
Its funny how 1 video can change your life and concept, I'm trying these techniques out on my harp guitar, - its very generous of you to share this! Thanks
Wow, thank you for this! You play so great.
Cheers
You are an amazing guitarist/classical guitarist. Im going through you comments and you have people of all ages and music taste who is complimenting your playing 👏🏼
Wonderful vid! Thank you, Muriel! I just started focusing on DAD and found this super helpful :-)
thank you so much for a way to look at the tuning. very good explanation
Awesome mem. Good guitar work.
Beautiful! I just started to experiment with DADGAD on my only guitar, nylon string. Inspired by Pierre Bensusan and now you. I will check out you website and look for tabs.
The tunes are sooo lovely I think I’d like to learn, but then I feel content to just listen👍🏽
Thank you very much Muriel! You have motivated me to fiddle around with dad gad. Beautiful melodies, I enjoyed them very much.
By4now,
Dave in the Adirondacks
Thanks for the video... Sounds awesome 🙏👍
Love this!
this is wonderful! So wonderful.
Inspirational ! I'm going to try this! Thanks
I love you're guitar. the music too.
Very helpful and such beautiful melodies
Thanks for the video Muriel, very informative. I have always wanted to try that tuning. I have experimented a bit with open C but this looks way more fun. Lovely compositions too.
Thanks for this lesson. Very intuitive.
Ty, love your style
Lovely stuff, lady!
I accidentally found that the dadgad tuning is good for accompanying didgerdoo….g'day mate
Thanks Muriel. It took me a second to figure out DADGAD was the tuning. You know us mountaineers are a little slow but we get there eventually. Love the demo.
This popped up in my inbox again after a long while and it's just as beautiful. I wish you would do a video about other keys in DADGAD. I have found G to be especially rewarding, but never gone beyond that (and D, obviously!). Thanks again. It stands the test of time.
Thank you so much Muriel!
I discovered a really nice song in DADGAD called MIdwinter (Exploring DADGAD) and I''ve been struggling to write up a song that sounds nice. I watched your video and it came to me. Very nice playing!
Beautiful!
Always on my way home is a great tune...thanks
I enjoyed this very much. As a lifelong guitarist that has shied away from alternate tunings, mostly due to the 'relearning' of scales, and chord positions... (as a 'lead' player, who loves to riff in between the chords..etc...) I found some of your concepts intriguing. I am picking up your books....and just watching for a moment, gave me some insight..with the 'lines' concept..... Thanks :)
Impressionante!!! Parabéns pelo vídeo!!! Obrigado por compartilhar todo esse conhecimento!!!! :)
that guitar is beautiful, the tone and nylon strings seem to compliment this tuneing well
Excellent instructive video. I play four songs in DADGAD tuning, (South City Midnight Lady, Willin', Help Me Through The Night, and Aint Much Left Of Me). But I never really explored DADGAD. Will now. Thank you Muriel for opening another path of the never ending journey of guitar. By the way have been a fan for quite sometime. My granddaughter loves your duet with Tommy Emmanuel of Vincent, as do I.
Wicked playing!
Lovely!
Awesome Muriel :) Greetings and thanks from Vikingland :)
All of your videos are top notch, Subscribed :-)
So informative. Great work.
Hi Muriel, how the world has changed since we met in Reno! Thanks so much for this video. My hand joints have deteriorated and playing full positions has become painful. LJ suggested I try DADGAD but my brain has been having some trouble finding notes. This has given me hope! (and a road map!) Take care, stay well. DR
Great to hear from you, have fun with it and relax with your hands.
