Chords for Laurence Juber Teaches You DADGAD Guitar Techniques

_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Well, you get the _ basic, _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
it's this _ _ _ _ _ cascading _ effect, the carillon. _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
There's the scale. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I do [C] a lot of _ _ what I [A] call the pickless pick, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ which is just the _ downstroke hitting with the index.
Now, of course, I don't [C] use nails for plucking.
I [A] just use them for, you know, _ and then the thumb nail is catching the upstroke. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
If you really want to [Gm]
study great right hand, I mean, just watch Townsend, because, you
know, _ _ a [C] lot of those _ 16th note [G] triplets and stuff like [A] that. _ _
_ _ _ Something like this, I mean, [D] _ I just started [B] working on an arrangement. _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Gbm] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Hang [Bb] on. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
Which is basically a 12 bar blues.
_ It's just a very twisted 12 bar.
[F] But those, you know, that [Eb] 13, _ _ _ _ [C] F, E flat, G, [F] _ A, _ D, _ _ you know, [C] and these 9ths, _ you can't
do that in standard [G] tune.
The stretch would be, _ [N] _ whereas, _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [C] you know, in Dagad, it's in those.
[Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ Yeah, I've [E] just been working out this arrangement.
And this is in [D] Dagad in C.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ So you get, you know, that F. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Now, _ _ _ _ _ for example, here, _ _ _ _ when I [Gm] hit that, [C] because _ _ _ _ getting that, that's one of the tricky
things with Dagad is that when you're playing a [G] C chord and you want a G on [C] top, I mean,
_ I'd have to be up [B] there, _ _ [A] _ _ which I [G] could do.
But _ _ _ I like that _ sus too. _
So this is D instead of an A.
[Gb] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
Keeps me in the right [Db] position too.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ Then, of course, where it's [Eb] tricky, _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ it's _ [Ab] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
so much easier when there's somebody else playing with me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You know, that way, _ it's kind of like hit the chord and then. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ When I'm _ improvising _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
like that, I don't want to be thinking [Bb] about it.
I just want to get into the kind of the improv zone and let it come [E] out the way it wants
to come out.
And that's a _ challenge _ _ _ _ _ because, _ you know, in standard tuning, I can do that.
I'm used to doing that.
In Dagad, it's like, OK, don't think about it.
Just play it.
Your fingers will find their way.
It's like, don't get in the way. _ _
_ That way, it can be in the musical moment. _ _
And I enjoy it when I get to play with other _ guitar players who really exist in that space. _ _ _
