    Quite nice and interesting to start with, lost it's way around the 1:50 mark.

    As James said, it started better than it ended, but I could see a light at the end of the tunnel with this.  Give it some water, sunlight, and fertilizer and watch it grow.  I was glad to see that you put it in a video format.  Keep em coming. 

    All the best,

    cool thanks for feedback. i just wrote it like ten minutes before my friend recorded it so was still learning it while playing.  actually, i like the 2nd half much better but i see what you may be hearing & it doesn't come across correctly on mere acoustic. needs amps heavy guitar and loud drums to make sense. it's got this zeppelin thing. also i'm playing it as sloppy as hell just learning it w/ taped drum fingers and all. i'll post a studio version when i get it done.  i dig this tuning it's the same one as Kashmir, Black Mountain Side etc.. thanks again very much!

    Definitely a great start for something.

    Very nice.

    Kashmir was in dadgad? I did a rocked up version of that in standard. lol! I don't know if I could play it in dadgad. lol!

    cool thanks- think it's a good enough lump of clay to start sculpting with.  

    & ya Kashmir, like Black Mountain Side, is in DADGAD. & it's actually easier to play it in that tuning.  less fretwork.  you can hear it too,  the (Dsus4 chord) in the chorus or whatever the famous descending chords part is called.  the 1st chord is the giveaway- if you listen it's a Dsus4 played on all open strings except the 4th and 6th string fretted at 12th fret playing the G and D note one octave higher.  then the chords resolve eg Dsus4>D etc. and so on... where you start by dropping the G to an F#(11th fret) on the 4th string.  i'm sure there's tablature online where you can see all of it. but like i said it's rather simple actually

    Hi,

    I'm a fan of the DADGAD tuning but rarely use it myself 'cause I'm too lazy to re-tune

    You've got a good start here...I can sorta hear where you're going with the heavier section ( I think )

    Looking forward to hearing the studio version ( although this version is really nice, too )

    cool ya i'm recording it this summer w/ my band. should be fun.  i really love open tunings & utilize them more than standard tuning. my favorite ones are open C (CGCGCE) and a few custom ones i made, namely open G with two G's at string 1 & 2 (GGDGBD), and open Esus2/add9 (EBEF#BE). these are especially handy live as we're just a three piece http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2615223

    Hi Daren,this is a very nice rhythmic approach to use DADGAD,. My approach is always melody first, let DADGAD take care of the harmony and rhythm will follow the melody. Add a little bit of melody to this and you have a winner. DADGBD is alaso a nice tuning for your style, I used it for this : http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11779876
