DADGAD Fingestyle Blues TAB and Music Notation
I woke this morning and virtually everything I touched just didn’t happen, I set out to rework a blues variation in G as an educational piece and it went skewiff. So since I was in a Blues mentality, I decided to reposat a DADGAD fingerstyle Blues I had written a year or so ago.
Now what’s the story on this. I’ve noticed that a lot of Celtic players are looking for DADGAD songs because if you’re doing a gig, twenty seven Irish Ballads in a row is just not going to work. In performance, we need things to that create an element of surprise, or sometimes bring familiarity but in a different package. This tune is a simple foundation to build a tune around or improvise with. It is just an idea and a platform to jump off.
You may use, post it elsewhere if you like. But hey it’s mine. What is important is that you play it in time, in tune and with feeling, if not please don’t play it.

Another great acoustic guitar player worth exploring is Duck Baker
Very cool, it’s always good to see the blues in alternate tunings. To me the blues is one of the most forgiving genres there is, and for that I absolutely love it
