I just PM'd you.

I really enjoyed that, especially the music at the end. Thanks Walt.

I've learned a few tunes in DADGAD but am curious as to the suggestions of using this tuning to play melodies. Is it easier to pick out the melodies in DADGAD? The way i see it, DADGAD is a diatonic tuning making your guitar more like a whistle, as aposed to EADGAE which is a chromatic tuning makin...

Would you care to qualify that?
