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 ……….
