Folk belief in the Sidhe, or the Fairy people, was common throughout Irish history and made a lasting impact on Irish music and song. Join CIM Instructor Chad McAnally in learning some “otherworldly” music and its fascinating history.
From his long experience of developing and using the DADGAD guitar tuning playing with great groups such as Skara Brae, Trian, Altan and Fingal and individual greats such as Tommy Peoples, Liz Carroll, James Kelly and Paddy O’Brien, and even Dolly Parton, Dáithí has found DADGAD tuning to be a versatile avenue to interesting and beautiful guitar accompaniment.
In this class he looks forward to providing insights and advice on how to get the most out of your guitar playing through exploring the tuning and guidance for left-hand and right-hand playing.
