Chords for The Easy DADGAD Celtic Guitar Book by Rob MacKillop

_ _ _ _ _ Hi, Rob MacKillop here talking about the Easy DadGad Celtic Guitar Book, an LBA publication.
_ _ _ _ _ Celtic music in DadGad tuning is not unknown, but some of it is very virtuosic.
So I've taken 30 very traditional session tunes and laid them out in DadGad tuning without any bass notes or chords,
just single notes, just exactly what the tunes are, and they fit beautifully on the fretboard in this tuning.
There's also a bonus section of 25 17th century Scottish lute tunes, which are again traditional music.
_ _ Luckily in Scotland we've been recording traditional music on lute and guitar for centuries.
You'll find some pieces in this book from 18th century guitar manuscript from Scotland, Jean Kirkpatrick manuscript, and very traditional tunes as well.
_ So enjoy the book, I'm going to read through, get my glasses on and read through the book, so you know that I'm playing exactly what's in the book.
And I hope you enjoy it.

18th century Scotland they were playing traditional music on a guitar.
A guitar looked a wee bit different from where it is today, but it was a guitar, _ _ [Gm] part guitar, part sittern, [F#] and they were playing traditional music on it.
So here's one from 18th century, the Jean Kirkpatrick manuscript, Carrick Fergus.

[E] _ _ Here's The Forfeit of the Ship, and notice how I just use one finger for almost the entire piece.
There's one other piece with the little finger, Pinky, on the fifth fret.
But everything else is just one finger, so this is an easier piece.
It's from Shetland.

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#] Traditional music has traditional keys that they're usually played, and tunes are usually played in, and to get those keys you don't have to change any of your fingering.
You just need a capo at the indicated fret, just below the title of the tune.
So this is The Parson and His Boots, with a capo at the fifth fret.
