Default DADGAD On Nylon

Tuning my crossover in DADGAD and exploring the territory. Can someone enthuse me with recommendations of artists/songs in this tuning on nylon strings?

Cheers!

Well, how about Orkney tuning? CGDGCD?

Stephen Wake has an entire album in nylon. Here's one and a link to the play list.

+1 on Stephen Wake. All his recordings are either in DADGAD or CGDGCD tunings. His music is excellent and with enough practice some of it is doable. He is well worth checking out. He has an album of nylon string only guitar.

Pierre Bensusan....a contemporary master of DADGAD on acoustic guitar. I have one of his books, and am starting to play the pieces on my classical guitar....he has a newer book out as well...the first book has a lot of instructional material on the basics that he uses as the building blocks of his songs...super nice guy!

Find him on bandcamp. You can download most of his "cd's" and the tab to go with them. He used to have an offer to get a bunch of them in one big "compilation."

I bought the following "CD's" and tab all at once a couple of years ago.

Journey's End

Scottish Lochs
The Celtist


Here's a link.

Stephen Wake on BandCamp

Below the "Buy Digital Album" there is a link to "Buy Digital Discography". You'll get all of the above and more for only US$38

Doug Young has some excellent resources—website lists his books. He has a recent alternate tunings course on Peghead National that includes DADGAD theory and tunes

Thanks!! I rediscovered Bandcamp, and had some other DADGAD celtic music as well. Steve Gibb - The Boatman.
Lots to work on!

Nice to see this topic, as non-standard tunings aren't talked about much. Coincidentally I've had my crossover tuned to CGDGBE for a while now and have been really enjoying exploring the possibilities of this tuning.

I normally play steel string acoustic, often in dropped D. I used the CGDGBE tuning to play exactly one song, so decided to see what else it could be used for. I soon discovered how truly versatile it was, especially considering how radically the chord structures changed the tonal coloration.

It was only a matter of time before I tried it on crossover, although I had not considered it previously because I thought the lowered 5th and 6th strings wouldn't sound good. I was wrong, of course!
