How To Play Guitar In "DAD GAD" Tuning

"Hello there! My name is Aaron Moon and I am here today on behalf of expertvillage.com. I just previously went over how to tune a standard tuning down to a drop D with your acoustics steel stringed guitar. Open; open meaning not pressing any strings down. It kind of sounds, well it doesn’t sound that great. It sounds a little more space, maybe a little more cohesive as opposed to open strumming of standard tune a guitar. With dad gad, we are going to alter some other strings aside from the low E. So dad gad stands for the notes of the strings.
