Ja tabs zijn handig maar deze van de “rain song” gisteravond , kon ik geen formage van maken . ( of ik deed iets verkeerd ) Moet er nog eens goed naar kijken, de stemming zou ook normaal zijn en geen led Zep dadgad, dit is wel een uitdaging .

in DADFAD, DADGAD or Open Gm7 tunings. The harmonics are incredible as well. When I'm in practice I can when desired pick individual strings in the pairs. Maybe you'll here this lovely vintage instrument sometime.

Day 401 of my cover challenge:
(1986) Pete Townsend covered the original by the Beat (1982). It's one of Townsend's favorites. As he mentions in the video it has a unique tuning (I looked it up: DADAAD. instead of DADGAD - I'll leave it to you guitarists. #MusicSky

Amen 💕. Davey Graham is the guitarist who propagated DADGAD tuning (now widely used) and he could stretch out on this tune, as in this later Sixties live folk club recording: youtu.be/a9XkWbKBs80?...

Yes, I’ve obviously heard of drop d and DADGAD, but regardless, he just strums right through and doesn’t touch the neck and the “chord” doesn’t change. It’s just used for rhythm.

I’m a guitarist so when people use the phrase “change your tune” I’m probably thinking about giving DADGAD a whirl again

DADGAD meditation. i feel like this tuning is finally starting to click for me. especially with how many options for minor 2nds and unison there are across the strings. that dissonance feels like home to me
