EADEAE tuning is unusual because the third string (G) is tuned down to an E and the second string (B) is tuned down to an A while the sixth, fifth, fourth, and first strings are the same as standard tuning. EADEAE is part of a family of tunings that are often referred to as “pipe” tunings. It’s also closely related to DADGAD tuning, since it’s an Asus tuning and DADGAD is a Dsus tuning. Doug starts by talking about the similarities between EADEAE and DADGAD and shows you chords in the key of A. In Part 2, he teaches you his arrangement of “The Banks of the Bann,” an Irish air most likely from the 19th century.
