Seems to be using a steady right hand pattern and simple chords. Wonder what the tuning is?
Anyone? |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | even then the right hand is mostly covered by the mic and the there is no way you can see what shape he is holding as the fingers are in the way! |

Location: North Carolina | Well, Dwee, I got the tuning, the right hand technique I already had, but the piece doesn't interest me enough to get into it in great detail.
However, it does appear that most of the fretting is being done on the bass strings, with concentration on the 4th and 5th, and leaving the first three strings mostly open or unplayed, dependiong upon the chord.
With those hints, I think you'll be able to pull it together |

Try this link:
DADGAD resources
There is a link to a pdf DADGAD chord chart that should be very helpful.
Enjoy! |
