![]() When get totally frustrated then I go to HELP. ![]() Musedit, which provided me with a book to read from and Tabledit, which provide you with a turoral. I have two other music programs that I still need to figure out. I have not even attempted to try to figure out how to notate music in ABC format. If we are still off…we adjust to each other. That everyone in the group should tune to the same tuner or tune to the instument that tuned to that tuner first…. I have heard that not all tuners tune the same. When I am having off days….I use a tuner. It’s good practice and one can develope an ear for it. ![]() If the piano’s out, one has no other choice but to tune to the piano. However I do value the gift of tuning by ear. I also use light guage string on my guitar. ( I hope I have not lost your respect Jorg) ![]() I tried to reply once before and lost everything that I wrote. if this turns out to be a repeat I am sorry. The one I have tuned to the DADEAE is ….Well… a student guitar.Īnd now that I have been playing around with this guitar my kids are showing an interest in playing again.(about time!)Īnd….Well….I need to get a fret job on my Martin. It looks like I have found a good reason to buy another guitar. I have a friend who plays banjo, mandolin and guitar and sometimes she goofs up on a chord or two. My concern is will I get confused changing back and forth. I am not ready to change my martin over this tuning. Should I not focus on too much of finding a complete chord and keep it simple? If by focosing on the complete chord I ruin the whole intent of this tuning and the sound that it provides? Of course I could be going about this all wrong. With my basic music theory and a chord book I plan on making a chord chart up for this new tuning. I even found a few other positions not on your chord chart. The chords you sent me were very helpful Steve. “ Bile ’Em Cabbage” and “The Boatmen Song” I should fit right in with the dulcimer club meetings. I even actually played a couple beginner dulcimer tunes on it. This tuning puts me in mind of the DAD mixiolodian tuning of the MD. My first stringed instrument was a mountain dulcimer. The chords were D,G,C,A,E, ( I O U and sometimes Y ) I could not resist. I even figured out a few chords (this was before I got your email Steve) You’d be proud Jorg. Last night I tuned my (not so used guitar that I bought for my kids) to DADEAE. You both have been very helpful to this new cause. I will let you know when we get a more substantial document and will let you guys try it out and criticize. We are working on chord and run structures that can be implemented in ABC. Thus my interest in a discussion entitled “Tabledit” - I use that software…….ĭanny Flynn (the accordion player mentioned by John Brennan) is my cohort in crime in trying to get out an instruction book on DADEAE. It took me a long time to feel comfortable with the tuning, and I must admit that I play rhythm - backup almost exclusively, and I have to relearn the notes on the fretboard in order to play melody. You may read about John at the following web site: It was only after spending about 6 hrs with John Brennan of Philadelphia and watching him use DADEAE that I decided I wanted to really put the effort into learning this tuning. Nice to hear someone actually tried DADEAE tuning - I am in the same boat with DADGAD having read of its virtues, I tried it on my own and felt like I could not control it. if you would like - I have some chord charts I can email in MS WORD format…. Try it - it is really cool, allows playing all over the neck, minimal use of the capo - easy on the hand ………. G modal at the fifth fret 6th string and 4th stringīm - at the second fret - fingers on 5th and 3rd stringsĮm - bar lowest three strings at the 2nd fretį#m at the 4th fret - 6th and 4th strings G at the second fret - 2nd string and at the 3rd fret 1st and 3rd strings Jorg is correct it should be DADEAE going from low to high - drop the 6th string from an E to D drop the third string from G to E and drop the second string from B to Aĭ modal - at the 5th fret - fingers on 5th string and 3rd stringĭ major - same as above except finger on 4th string 4 fretĪ modal - at the 7th fret - fingers on 6th string and 4th string
