Re: DADGAD for Dummies?

Jack,

I'm no expert on Scottish music but find your "usual keys" to be a bit
odd. The key of a song is the one the vocalist can sing in. Are you
accompanying bagpipes? Why is there a usual key.
Guitarists use the capo to effect a key change frequently, so standard
tuning and a capo should get you where you need to go.
DADGAD can create drones like a set of pipes. I think that's why it's
popular for celtic music. I do not think it's about the key.
