Another very helpful video, thanks Nye. Great to have a tune as an example throughout and all the tidbits of making the progression more interesting once you've worked it out.
Interesting stuff. Do you actually think it worth it to use DADGAD with this tune, given that standard tuning would work pretty well here? I have a request for a later video BTW. I like the sound of the Faith pattern but I really would like to hear a whole tune done with the pattern where I knew the chords, that way I can use my ear to really try to get the sound down. Your video on the pattern was great but I need to be able to hear it through a full chord cycle, so if you could put that content into a video, it would really help. You might take a tune and do different strumming techniques for a full chord cycle. Just an idea. Nice to see that the weather is good for you down there, no need for your hat now! Let me know when you get your book in store.
Hi Brian. The paperback is available on Amazon but I also have a few copies in the shop if you'd like to order one directly- just PayPal £22 to info@folkfriend.co.uk and I'll post one up to you :). Regarding strumming pattern I recorded a little jam with my mum recently which probably has some Faith strumming in it so I'll try and get a clip of that up soon!
Re tuning, one could just as well play it on either tuning really but I thought the DADGAD enthusiasts would probably like to be able to play along without having to retune mid session!
I will do that tomorrow. That will be great if you have a few tunes with your mum. Hopefully the chords will be clear. Great to have you back on UA-cam. Cheers!
Tune your E string down to D. That way you can accompany most tunes in D or G and have much the same effect as open D. That is the more convenient way to play and accompany Irish tunes. Listen to Dick Gaughan, Arty McGlynn, Paul Brady, John Doyle.
Hi Sandy. Here are a few versions of an A minor for you, written as fret numbers going from the bass string nearest to you too the treble string which is furthest away: X,0,2,2,0,0 (can actually also be used as A major) X,0,2,2,3,0 X,0,2,0,3,0 (Am7- sounds lovely) 7,7,0,5,0,0 (the slide-able shape version) Hope that helps!

Cheers Luke! See you on Sunday :)
I thought the technical term for it was "Trombonable" Nice to see you publishing again
Oh yes, so it is! My mistake 😳
great
Thanks Ruth!

Hi Nye, can you please display Am on the screen?
