I have just been given a guitar. Never played one before beyond
picking out a few tunes (for which an ud is a lot easier, frets
and the guitar's illogical tunings get in the way). It's nothing
particularly special but it sounds okay. As I mostly play Scottish
traditional music (on melody instruments) I figured it would be
useful to know some basic accompaniment stuff. DADGAD seems to be
the way to go for that.
I have quite enough instruments in my life already. This is
just so I can fill in when an accompaniment is needed, for
tunes in the commonest Scottish keys (say, various modes with
2 sharps for starters). What would people here recommend as a
tutorial on very basic modal chord bashing for somebody who has
no intention of ever doing anything else with the instrument?
(In most ways an autoharp would make more sense - I've got one,
but it's far too quiet to be any use).

There are a bunch of DADGAD tutorial videos on You Tube that could get
you going nicely, a few basic chord formations for strumming, and to be
used exactly as you described.
Just go to you-tube and do a search on DADGAD
