My latest business venture (alongside Folk Friend and Finale Guitar) is now open! You can find out more about Finale Music School here.
This week I had a little jam with one of our tutors, Mitzi. In this video we play a hornpipe called Nod To Tom and a reel called Secret Sister and I run you through the DADGAD guitar techniques I’m using to accompany them by ear. I talk about DADGAD chord choices, rhythmic variations and lots more!
Mitzi offers fiddle lessons over Zoom- you can contact me to book.
My latest (currently!) book, The Beginner’s Guide To Celtic DADGAD Accompaniment, is available here.
