How to Write Riffs in DADGAD Tuning | Acoustic Guitar Lesson

In this video I'll show you some ideas for how you can play around in DADGAD and come up with your own riffs. DADGAD is a very cool tuning and this builds on the 2 DADGAD lessons where we learnt "Kashmir" and "Given To Fly" - see links below for those if you missed them! Enjoy!

I'd say you had to rein yourself in during parts of this recording. I get the feeling you could just play all day. Very infectious creative buzz there.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Haha there was a fair bit of editing to be done for this one tbh 😀🤘Thanks for the kind words as ever Brian!

[@douglaschristine8387]

Hey, how's my busy friend? You tube just put a Let's play all mix for me and fifty of your videos pop up, cool. This one is definitely one of my favorites. Composing some tight songs is what I love DADGAD yeah! Peace.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Haha amazing!

I always love the sound of altered tunings but as soon as I stray from standard tunings my tiny mind melts

[@abhinandanghosh2028]

The solo at the end of the video was marvelous.Did u use myxolydian mode ?

[@LetsPlayAll]

I'm not too sure tbh mate haha but thank you!

[@marceloaam]

Which software do you use for recording? And, btw, you could do a video showing some tricks on how to recording several instruments and stuff...

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks for the suggestion Marcelo, I use GarageBand on a Mac mini, very simple DAW. I like simple 😀🤘

[@sprintingforsigns]

Very enjoyable, and I can see what I’ll be doing later. That’s a lovely sounding acoustic, which Faith model is it. Cheers.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks mate have fun! It’s a Faith Venus Blood Moon 😀🤘

[@sprintingforsigns]

@@LetsPlayAll cheers. Must check one out. Don’t have an acoustic at the moment.

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@sprintingforsigns they’re cracking value guitars, they’re electro acoustics and sound great through a PA too 😊

[@sprintingforsigns]

@@LetsPlayAll have you tried it through a FRFR cab with something like an Iridium ?

[@LetsPlayAll]
