ADAD Tuning

ADAD Tuning is a useful tuning for chord accompaniment on longer scale instruments,
especially the bouzouki.

1.Tune the bottom pair of strings (thickest) UP one tone from G to A.
2. Tune the top pair of strings (thinnest) DOWN one tone from E to D.

When strummed open (unfretted), the chord is D5 (5th Chords) or modal D.
It has no 3rd, so it has no sense of being major or minor.

A simple barre (first finger across all 4 courses at the same fret) will give
the following set of 'modal' chords:

Fret	open	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12
Chord	D	D#/Eb	E	F	F#	G	G#	A	A#/Bb	B	C	C#	D

Other useful chords in this tuning:

Example:
D major 5450 = fret positions from lowest to highest course.

A common technique, is to use the capo to change key without changing
the fingering of the chords.

Playing a G chord progresion (G-C-D) with the fingering for those chords but
capoed at the 2nd fret, gives an A chord progression (A-D-E).
