In this special two-part workshop with guitarist James Gascoyne we will explore "DADGAD" guitar tuning for accompanying Irish jigs and reels.

Saturday's session will cover the nuts and bolts of tuning, basic chord shapes, playing in different keys*, strumming patterns, and tune forms.  In Sunday's session we will apply these skills to sets of jigs and reels, accompanying fiddler Oona Grady.
