Bluegrass master Buddy Woodward stopped by the studio this week - here he explains the origins of DADGAD tuning, and a performance of She Moves Through The Fair by Davey Graham on my Granddad's guitar.

I can hear some Richard Thompson in your arrangement, especially with the string bending/vibrato. Well done!
best introduction to dadgad
So this is the song that influenced Jimmy Page to write Bron-Yr-Aur and White Summer/Black Mountainside?
Whenever I listen to instrumental Irish folk music, I always imagine landscapes or weather patterns. Might seem a bit abstract to most, but thta's how it is. I like it.
No sir, it's not a bad arrangement at all. Thank you, for show the class that tuning and arrangement.
I don't believe it. I was looking at an EEVBLOG video, and I saw that Fran had written a coment. That reminded me that Fran has a youtube channel, so I thought I'd look. Darned if I don't see a Dixie Bee Liner! I saw Mr. Woodward when he played in Dalton, Georgia.
What a beautiful way to treat a guitar! I love the Indian fusion. Would you guys know Harry Manx off chance? Nice post. 🙂
Very nice; I could hear the sitar in there. thanks for sharing.
Chieftains: Irish Heartbeat
hah jimmy page
Sweet song.
I never know what to do with DADGAD… The tune reminds me of the Simple Minds 'Belfast Child'. watch?v=7vhhTvcLoRw
