Hi there, and welcome to a new acoustic guitar lesson!
As some of you may know, I´m in love with Irish and Celtic Music. I´ve learning a lot from this style since 5-6 months ago, and now, I´m completely comfortable with Drop D tuning.
So, what happens now? Yes! I will share my knowledge with you.
In this lesson you will learn some of the chords most used Irish and Celtic Music, not only the classic ones! This lesson will help you to develop a new way to play chords and maybe you will add them in your compositions as I do.
You can check out Samhain - One Celtic Night to see how they (chords) work.
Also, you will learn about what I call “misty Irish chords”

Hope you like this lesson!
Take it step by step and have fun!

stay close! -
