    Short question at the end, are there any news about your Progressive Rock Album? I’m so excited about it.

  5. I just tuned my faith to this tuning yesterday since I was practicing how to play Phunkdified. haha, what are the chances

  6. I use light strings and low action. I kind of like that sound.

  7. what gauge strings do u use. they sound light. either that or ur action is really low

  8. My God..what a absolutely gorgeous song at the beginning ! …I love this tuning!

  9. I love DADGAD. There was a point in time where I only played in DADGAD for about 3 months, lol.

  10. GREAT lesson! that piezo sounds really thin :( it sounds like a wimpy nylon string. let’s hear it in front of a mic!!!

  11. Jimmy Page used this tuning for many songs like "White Summer," "Kashmir," and even later on in the mid ’80s when he was in The Firm. There’s a song he used it on that was called "Midnight Moonlight." Mostly all the songs Jimmy Pages used the Danelectro guitar for were in the DADGAD tuning.
