Hi Everyone,

We have a brand new lesson available!

I Will by The Beatles, in DADGAD Tuning

This is a fairly simple arrangement of “I Will” in DADGAD tuning that provides a good look at how to play in the key of G in DADGAD, and also uses a fair number of chords.

People often approach DADGAD, as well as many other tunings, as a vehicle for “droning” in a single key, which sometimes gives alternate tunings a bad rap, and this arrangement serves as a counter-example, with its fairly conventional I-vi-ii-V chord progression, as well as some more complex sections. The tune even modulates to the key of C briefly!

I Will is a good repertoire tune for an instrumental player to have because people generally know it. I arranged it many years ago, and still pull it out in performances, especially when I have a non-guitar playing audience, to give them something they recognize, and can hum along with.

Enjoy this intermediate level lesson!

Nice !!

It's good to see another Doug Young DADGAD lesson on TG.

Thanks for sharing this guitar tune which I haven't heard before.
I like that you chose to incorporate a fluent lighter bass.
You make it look easy as your fingers glide from fret to fret.

Doug,

Thanks for popping back in to TG and presenting another lesson!

I am constantly amazed by the graceful way that you play the guitar. So smooth and every note has a purpose! I can watch and listen to your playing for hours at a time.

Have a great day and again, Thanks!

Bart
