About this title

Synopsis

DADGAD Guitar Essentials is a comprehensive acoustic guitar instructional songbook for players who want to explore the expressive possibilities of DADGAD open tuning. Drawn from the lessons of Acoustic Guitar magazine, this collection brings together respected guitarists to guide players through one of the most versatile alternate tunings in modern guitar music. Whether you are new to alternate tunings or have some experience, this book offers a clear and musical path into DADGAD.

The book features 11 in-depth lessons and 17 full songs showing how DADGAD works across traditional, folk, blues, jazz, rock, and contemporary styles. Presented in notation with TAB, the lessons cover chord shapes, scale forms, melodic phrasing, and arranging approaches that help build confidence. The included online video lessons provide guidance from Pierre Bensusan and Laurence Juber, helping guitarists hear and follow each concept step by step with clarity.

As players progress, they discover how DADGAD opens the door to rich textures, flowing bass lines, and expressive fingerstyle playing. The material moves from practical foundations to more advanced ideas, helping guitarists shape their own arrangements and develop a stronger musical voice while keeping learning engaging and creatively rewarding over time.

Featured Repertoire
Arrangements inspired by J.S. Bach, The Beatles and additional lesson-based pieces included throughout the book.

Ideal for acoustic guitarists interested in alternate tunings and fingerstyle playing, DADGAD Guitar Essentials offers a clear and inspiring introduction supported by expert instruction, complete songs, and video guidance, making it a reliable resource for consistent practice and musical growth.
