In this week’s free Irish guitar lesson from Folk Friend, I’ll be looking at how you can use a set of simple chords in DADGAD tuning to play in G major and its related modes, A dorian, D mixolydian and E aeolian. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you learn a bit about music theory if you don’t already understand why certain chords go in certain keys and how the modes relate to one another.

I recently finished writing a complete Beginner’s Guide To Celtic DADGAD Accompaniment! You can find it here.
