I just finally got going with DADGAD (after several attempts) and I've just been using YouTube so far. So much good stuff out there!

Have a look at Simon Fox's Play DADGAD site.There's tons of free info about chords, scales, harp style, and tabs.
http://www.playdadgad.com/dadgad/index.htm Felix Schell's book about DADGAD contains more information than you will need, covering chords, scales, intervals,harmonies, chord progressions and much more.

I spent years deconstructing DADGAD chords to find the relationship to Standard. 30 years later, I feel pretty confident in my abilities to either create an original or play someone else’s song.

Laurence Juber and Martin Simpson have some excellent DVD's. Both show startup beginner ways to incorporate the tuning, and expand on it from there.
All of these come with paper tab/music sheets or downloadable tab/music. All are excellent and high quality in sound and visual of the hands. http://www.acousticmusicresource.com...b4b04f5a8ee99c http://www.acousticmusicresource.com...b4b04f5a8ee99c https://www.homespun.com/shop/produc...s-demystified/ https://www.homespun.com/instructors/martin-simpson/ |

My Youtube channel offers about 60 videos. The vast majority are in DADGAD. This may be a good starting point for playing in DADGAD :

I went from standard tuning to mostly playing in Dadgad tuning, the first book I brought was Understanding DADGAD For Fingerstyle Guitar by Doug Young. I think it is an amazing book, it is a must for anyone who wants to play in DADGAD tuning. The Big DADGAD Chord Book by Harvey Reid is a great chord book.
However, I think DADGAD is more about discovering different sounds even if they are by mistake, you be surprised what you can come up with just using one or two fingers. |

Quote:
The only thing I run into with alternate tunings is that after a few months of playing intervals and triads my fretting starts to get a little lazy and going back to standard can be an eye opener. I think its a good practice to play standard for a bit a couple of days a week while diving in other tunings just to keep the chops up to snuff.

I've been playing in DADGAD exclusively for almost 20 years now but I'm still learning. One excellent resource that I never knew about until recently, despite being a big fan of the author's playing (!), is DADGAD and Beyond by Danny Heines. As the title suggests, the book starts with DADGAD and then moves into some other alternate tunings.
The book is described as a "method for navigating the fretboard in all tunings, how to cultivate new composing and improvising concepts, and how to broaden your fingerstyle skills and techniques" and it succeeds on all counts. Includes download link for audio samples, plus complete transcriptions of two of the author's pieces and snippets of a number of others along with useful exercises that teach music, modes, fingerstyle technique along with the tunings. Highly recommended. Phil
