D A D G A D is my favorite tuning. I play it a lot but can’t really find any good ideas/chord progressions. This video is perfect and helped me a lot. Thank you Marco! Your tutorials are special and unique.
Despite being a metal head at heart, I love music like this as well. I tried this tuning this morning and found myself instantly lost. Thank you for doing a beautiful video on this.
After 3years of practicing with regular tuning.. Yesterday I've changed my mind to explore the alternative tuning DADGAD.. Now I'm watching Marco. .Thanks for your idea man❤ ❤
I have arthritis. I’m not been able to play the guitar for five years. Just decided to try again again and your video has really taught me a lot. Thank you very much.
Al Pettaway! Thank you for reminding me of him! I love his music, it's been years since I've listened to him. I even took a guitar workshop from him back in the 90's.
I haven't picked up my guitar in years. I wasn't a master in the first place, but you got me back up and going in no time. I still have much practicing to do, but you got me on track. Thank you!
Cool! Excited to play around with this tuning. I also really like that you have "EX #' on the screen so that you can easily find the part you want when scanning. A lot of music tip videos don't have that and it's so inconvenient!
Thanks Marco - your channel has the absolute best tips for making simple yet beautiful music. Really appreciate how approachable you make fingerstyle guitar. I've been playing the same chords and songs for 40 years and you've gotten me out of that rut. Fingerstyle blues (alternating bass) still vexes me. A simple tune like "Freight Train" drives me insane. Be well and keep these coming!
Two songs I play in DADGAD are, "Treetop Flyer" Stephen Stills, and Colin Hay's "I just don't think I'll ever get over you"...Stills plays it in Standard tuning, which to me, is so difficult to play (I'm not the best guitarist)...DADGAD is a great alternative to standard tuning, when chords in Standard are too difficult to play, in some songs...Hay plays his in DADGAD.
Awesome and Magical! I just tuned my Guitarlele in a DADGAD tuning which is actually a fourth higher GDGCDG . I love the beauty and simplicity of your lessons. I've only been playing about 8 months and I can usually apply what you teach on my Guitarlele of course I improvise a bit. It's the Nawlins way! Thank you!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
i keep a guitarlele in my car tuned to standard guitar tuning, you can actually get some high tension strings and tune all the way down to guitar tunings if your curious :P would help you learn from guitar lessons a tiny bit better
Marco brother... just want to thank you for being a cool guitar teacher..... GOD used you and this GAD tuning to inspire / guide me into putting TWO cool melodies/ mini instrumentals together... really stoked / excited about them!
Phenominal video. I think I need to start studying music theory. Im still very much a beginner with only about 8 or 9 chords Im comfortable with in standard tuning between 1st and 2nd position. Im proud of myself, but want to do so much more. Thanks for the great video and the inspiration.
Frickin awesome my friend. Thank you so much for this. I'm going to spend the time and learn this. I love DADGAD, and you nailed this! Beautiful stuff!!!!
Hey Marco, just wanted to thank you for uploading this video and making good content. I’ve been staring at my guitar like it’s a ghost for a couple of years hoping I can get rid of writers block and start playing more than 10 minutes at a time again. If I would’ve clicked on a different video, I might have put the guitar down and remained in my depressive state. You’ve gained a very happy subscriber today
And I thought you were going to give a lesson on Led Zeppelin. Instead you showed something entirely different and musically beautiful about DADGAD. Very nice lesson.
Marco sir u really a genius (KING 😇OF MELODIES🎶)👌😘iam gonna great fan of your's....this lesson is such a wonderful and unique What a fantastic and new type of concept called DADGAD it's wooooowwww l....Great ✌ 😎 🎸 ❤ 🎶 💕
Marco, Your music truly touches my heart! You are so easy going, mellow teaching with intelligence....passionate....in a way that makes musical and heartfelt... .sense. Naming the chords, 3rd, 5th, triads, fret numbers is so cool. Oh...when you show the strings circling..vibrating is mesmerizing!! 🎸🎼🎵🎶
Open Em7 is a tuning I like. Mark Holcomb of Periphery showed examples of how to write a riff with it. Clean it sounded cool and with distortion it was brutal.
So i have been playing around 20 years and i just learned about this tuning. Everything thing sounds magic..i have no idea what im doing but it just sounds good every other tuning sounds so boring compared to this!
Beautiful playing :) I thought I heard some Michael Hedges at the start ?? !! I use this tuning to play single note linear patterns in indian classical raga style .. Sounds nice
They do in a way mate the inlay on the guitar(not in this situation) but you can also just see where his fingers are or look up the chords in a chart-.-
Know One I agree my teacher personally never used this crap if you just practice you will start to get it also you people who use this probably can’t read music notes ona a guitar learn that it’s so simple
I JUST LOVE YOUR MUSIC, CLASSICAL AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR. YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO SIMPLE. WHAT CONSERVANCY DID YOU ATTEND? WHAT IS YOUR NATIONALITY? WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW? WHAT IS THE PICKING TECHNIQUE YOU ARE USING HERE?? I AM A BEGINNER AT 75 THUS THE STUPID QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I tuned my guitar to BAGDAD and everything I played sounded middle eastern!
Lol
It took me longer than it should of to get this
fuck man I'm laughing like hell 😂😂😂
Lol
Lmao
D A D G A D is my favorite tuning. I play it a lot but can’t really find any good ideas/chord progressions.
This video is perfect and helped me a lot. Thank you Marco! Your tutorials are special and unique.
Learn Open G. Put in minimal effort and the world will be yours.
DADGAD Tuning is the one of the best tuning options you can ever use - its so usefull at many ways...
Despite being a metal head at heart, I love music like this as well. I tried this tuning this morning and found myself instantly lost. Thank you for doing a beautiful video on this.
Metalhead here as well and I just dove into this tuning yesterday and got lost as well!
After 3years of practicing with regular tuning.. Yesterday I've changed my mind to explore the alternative tuning DADGAD..
Now I'm watching Marco. .Thanks for your idea man❤ ❤
I 've always known that my soul is connected to melodies like the one at 6:09 and chords like Cmaj7.
Thanks so much for your video.
I have arthritis. I’m not been able to play the guitar for five years. Just decided to try again again and your video has really taught me a lot. Thank you very much.

I tuned my guitar to CADCAB and now it is designing taxis...
@StevieBlues66 ok ceo of comedy
That is cleaver
😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
Damn, your right hand is so fluid I can hardly see you striking the strings. Accurate and beautiful thank you so much
I remember posting a comment months ago about asking for DADGAD lesson! Thank you so much, Marco!
Probably the best video on DADGAD tips. Quick, practical, clear, well explained. Thank you Marco!
I play by ear for 30+ years and never knew about this.. I would drop the D string once in awhile.
THANKS so much fun!!!!
Led Zeppelin Kashmir
Played DADGAD and DADFAD for a long time but still learned some things from Marco today at age 68!
DADGAD, kapo on third. Probably my favorite sound
*capo
Agreed!
I playing in dadgad years. You can play everything and anything its a great tuning for solo singer songwriters especially
3:54 sounds beautiful. You can also play the unofficial theme to the National Parks ("Sligo Creek" by Al Pettaway)
Al Pettaway! Thank you for reminding me of him! I love his music, it's been years since I've listened to him. I even took a guitar workshop from him back in the 90's.

Pierre Bensusan is the Master of this tuning. A great composer and player.
For sure…❤PB,,,but these riffs scream Will Ackerman sounds!
I'm trying to learn still but I appreciate your helpful video tutorials. DADGAD sounds so so beautiful!
Best DADGAD lesson on RUclips. Thanks!
Thank you. No wasted time, just right to it. Excellent!
Just beginning this dadgad journey....hauntingly beautiful. Thanks.
Absolutely amazing. Keep the dadgad coming first uncomplicated lesson ever and certainly not boring . thank you.
Sounds beautiful Marco, thanks for the inspiration.
i can't express how much better this sounds to me then standart tuning. great playing bro.
Two songs I play in DADGAD are, "Treetop Flyer" Stephen Stills, and Colin Hay's "I just don't think I'll ever get over you"...Stills plays it in Standard tuning, which to me, is so difficult to play (I'm not the best guitarist)...DADGAD is a great alternative to standard tuning, when chords in Standard are too difficult to play, in some songs...Hay plays his in DADGAD.
Great tutorial thank you. I have learnt a few DADGAD tunes which I love and your video has inspired me to try one of my own🤗
A very enlightening demo without a hint of Kashmir! Can't wait to detune tomorrow!
Awesome and Magical! I just tuned my Guitarlele in a DADGAD tuning which is actually a fourth higher GDGCDG . I love the beauty and simplicity of your lessons.

my Guitalele was in EADGBE full octave higher than guitar, now I'm trying some high DADGAD (again, octave higher)
You're a very good experimental teacher.. You're good both in theories and implementation
Thanks for putting the example number on the bottom left. Makes the beginning of each easy to find.
Awesome tunes... such an inspiration to get that DADGAD figured out more! Pumped to start a few of your ideas...
This is the kind of thing that inspired musicians like Andy McKee to write the kind of stuff he writes
I've been waiting for someone to bring up Andy McKee
Marco brother... just want to thank you for being a cool guitar teacher..... GOD used you and this GAD tuning to inspire / guide me into putting TWO cool melodies/ mini instrumentals together... really stoked / excited about them!
Thanks for making this video. Last night I began learning Kashmir and I found this amazing video!
Beautiful Marco! Your style is just what I was looking for in DADGAD. And what a nice guitar!!
Great lessons I love dadgad thank you so much Greetings fae Scotland 🏴
The 3rd one reminds me of being in the woods in the depths of winter during a snow storm. You probably thought that too!
Beautiful playing. Thanks for not subjecting me to more “blues riffs”
Some many beautiful chords 😻
Phenominal video. I think I need to start studying music theory. Im still very much a beginner with only about 8 or 9 chords Im comfortable with in standard tuning between 1st and 2nd position. Im proud of myself, but want to do so much more. Thanks for the great video and the inspiration.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you for posting
WTF this blew my mind 😱 this is an epic tutorial, thank you Marco
Frickin awesome my friend. Thank you so much for this. I'm going to spend the time and learn this. I love DADGAD, and you nailed this! Beautiful stuff!!!!
I love this lesson. At first I'm thinking "no way I can't play that", next thing you know "no way, I can play that?"
This really helped me to get an idea how to play those wonderful celtic sounds

I love DADGAD, it solid for that 90s indie sound.
Very helpful Marco! I was stuck in a rut of bad habits....... your lesson was welcome. I look forward to more.
And I thought you were going to give a lesson on Led Zeppelin. Instead you showed something entirely different and musically beautiful about DADGAD. Very nice lesson.
That is one fine sounding guitar. Never heard of that kind before!
This lesson ROCKS thank you for that
Marco is always amazing at playing and teaching . Thanks for all the knowledge
This DADGAD tuning sounds beautiful. I ´ll dig into it👍
Your playing reminds me of the chord variations in Andy McKee's music.
I hear the delay and reverb i myself love the sound of a chorus effect to me it gives the guitar a fuller sound
Love it mate, wanna start to explore DADGAD, great lesson!
Superb lesson..Very inspiring...Beautiful sounds and some great ideas...Thank you for sharing....

Thank you Steven 🎸👍🏻
I never heard about this but it looks cool to try : )
They all sound so 'beautiful'
That's Marco's word he always describe the chords as beautiful 😁
Great! just what I was looking for in my early days of DADGAD...thanks Maro :)
Beautiful. Could you do a video on how you get that sound on your guitar. Effects, settings etc. Thanks!
Open Em7 is a tuning I like. Mark Holcomb of Periphery showed examples of how to write a riff with it. Clean it sounded cool and with distortion it was brutal.
Wonderful, Marco! Very Inspiring!

Thanks mate! Love the ideas, they've got me writing again
So i have been playing around 20 years and i just learned about this tuning.
Everything thing sounds magic..i have no idea what im doing but it just sounds good
every other tuning sounds so boring compared to this!
Beautiful playing :)
I thought I heard some Michael Hedges at the start ?? !!
I use this tuning to play single note linear patterns in indian classical raga style .. Sounds nice
Big fan of your skills ..😍😍😍
Bravo Marco , una bella lezione , grazie :)
I wish people would use a guitar with fret markers when teaching.
Exactly what I was thinking thank you
They do in a way mate the inlay on the guitar(not in this situation) but you can also just see where his fingers are or look up the chords in a chart-.-
Know One I agree my teacher personally never used this crap if you just practice you will start to get it also you people who use this probably can’t read music notes ona a guitar learn that it’s so simple
@Know One So ,you have never took a second look to see what fret they were on ..asshole
come on its not that hard and if knowing what fret is on is too hard the songs probably are too
Fabulous ideas! Thank you! 👍😎
ey man super lesson! super sound! thanks a lot regards from spain barcelona

Great Lesson... Thanks for putting it together!
Very Nice. I`ve just started to use DADGAD after hearing Nic Jones. Thanks for sharing your skill.
