Songwriting Exercise: DADGAD tuning
If you’re stuck in a rut where the same chords seem to forever pop up under your fingers every time you pick up a guitar, here’s a little curve ball for you: retune your guitar to DADGAD and see what horizons this new tuning opens up for you!

Original song: … There when I said it
This song idea came when the opening line came to me:
I know this girl who never smiled
I guess her skin was on too tight
Real Love – original song
Sure it’s real love… in a demented way! Now that was a fun – and silly – song to write. Written & recorded on a Lanikai CK-B koa baritone ukulele 🙂
Show me the way
To make you wanna stay
I live for the day
You no longer want to get away
But until then I’ll keep you here
All tied up in the basement… my dear
Show me the love
So you can live one floor above
These latex gloves
Are not what my dreams are made of
But until then I’ll keep you here
All tied up in the basement… my dear
I’m your creepy lover guy
You know you’ll love me till you die
I see it in your big black eye
So come on baby won’t you try?
