DADGAD Shouldn’t Feel Like Starting Guitar All Over Again
Perhaps you know a few chord shapes or have followed scattered tutorials, but you still find yourself guessing what to play, where to move next or how the fretboard fits together.
The problem isn’t a lack of ability. You’ve simply never been given a clear sequence for building the essential DADGAD foundations in the right order.
That is exactly what the DADGAD Jumpstart System is designed to provide.
Hey, I’m Aodán (pronounced “Ay-Dawn”).
When I first moved from standard tuning to DADGAD, it felt like learning a completely new instrument. I found it slow, confusing and difficult to know what to practise.
After roughly 18 months of focused study, I began to see the patterns. I built a simple foundation around the chords, rhythms and fretboard ideas that made everything click.
That foundation helped me develop my own sound and eventually tour and teach guitar professionally around the world.
I turned that same approach into the DADGAD Jumpstart System so you can learn the essential pieces in a clear order—without spending months piecing everything together yourself.
Build Your Foundation — Understand the tuning, the right practice priorities and the essential habits that prevent months of confusion.
Learn Essential Shapes and Rhythms — Build the chord vocabulary and rhythmic control you need to start playing useful music.
Understand the Fretboard — Connect chords, scales and positions so you can stop relying on isolated diagrams and see how DADGAD fits together.

"I've been playing Irish Trad music in DADGAD for 10 years now, and I am finding new tricks and learning new things through Aodan Coyne's DADGAD tutorials. Aodan's teachings are giving my backing new voices and textures. His instruction is clear, simple, and straightforward. I highly recommend his courses."

"The DADGAD Course is amazing! I'm really enjoying it. I was relying too much on the capo while backing and singing with the guitar. Aodán's course is helping me a lot, it's straightforward and well explained!"
