Ya it's a great tune Donald. I plan on recording a full DADGAD tutorial for it in the near future 👍

Hi Dany, yes some tunes in DADGAD are going to have bigger stretches. But unless your happy to change octaves half way through a line it's going to be difficult to avoid. You could start the whole tune an octave lover but sometimes that leads to not having access to the lowest notes.. It's a tricky balance sometimes. Some tunes are going to be easier in Standard and some are going to be easier in DADGAD. Regards the program I use, here is my process. I create the ABC notes for the tune and import them with musescore.com software. That software changes the ABC notes to music notation and then there is a process to add the guitar tabs. I change the musescore guitar tuning to DADGAD and fix any mistakes that the program makes. (Usually I have to change the pitch by '+1 above' to make it correct). I add in the Chords in Musescore with the Ctrl + K command. I use the "unroll repeats" tool and set the page view to "continuous view". Then I press play and record my screen with OBS software. Once the file is recorded I import it into Davinci Resolve video editing software to create the stylized video. It's quite an involved process but after doing it a few times it becomes a little easier. Hope that helps.

@@aodancoynemusic wow Aodán, that's an elaborate answer. thanks for that. I have musescore on my MacBook so I'll dig deeper in that. Davinci Resolve is new to me (I'm a FinalCut user) and looks great! You're a perfectionist. looking forward to more video's. Hope you had a great tour in Switzerland. Cheers, Dany

Glad you found the video helpful. Here's my jig strum lesson that will link in well with this tune - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5ydh6aE2ZiUlI0.html
