does anyone have any obscure, but really nice sounding dadgad chords? ive been messing around trying to work out some really nice chords and have had quite a bit of success, has any one got any cool ones?
I want some really soft chords for some slip jigs and waltz's, but what ever people have, whack em on here.
ps. please dont use this as somewhere to express your hatred for the guitar, guitarists, dadgad, any thing. I just want to find out some new cool chords.
Not really sure what level of obscurity is of interest to you, but here's two: to underline a D minor feeling, I like to use 053500. For an A minor variation, try X02522. All the best.
Surely the chords you can form on the six string devil tuned to DADGAD are exactly the same as chords one can play with a conventionally tuned bat? The voicings may be altered but they are the same old chords (and dyads) i.e. major, minor, dominant 7th, minor 7th, 6th, 9th, 11th, 13th, suspensions, augmenteds, diminisheds, flattened 5th & flattened 9ths and so on.
There aren’t any special secret DADGAD chords. If you want to play a (e.g) Ebm7b5 you’ll just have to know what notes are in the chord and work out where they are in your ‘special’ tuning .
Soig Siberil published his DAGDAD tutor book in the '90's. It's in French but a great resourse for trad guitar players. You should find it on ebay and get it translated.
I've been asked over the years; "what tuning are you using". People always seem disappointed when I say; "standard".
I think it's all about listening and trying to get in between where Joe Average puts their chord. Not always easy, but it's where accompaniment comes into it's own, regardless of tuning used.
As "Alex the devil worshiper" told me some time ago, "don't play all the chords all the time, just play bit's of them to work up a theme".
There's some truth in that, despite being the devils work, provided you listen and use your ears as your guide!

Re: Dadgad
Well, these probably aren't obscure enough for you, but here's a set of chord charts I put together for DADGAD many years ago:

Re: Dadgad
I have heard a number of obscure chords over the years, the the more obscure they are, the more I want them to remain that way!

Re: Dadgad
I was going to direct you to the DADGAD chord chart, in case you hadn't seen it, but I see Michael has it as a pdf file in his link. I love DADGAD
