How To Play “Anji”
Davy Graham was a guitarist who influenced many acoustic guitar players in the 1960′s but enjoyed very little commercial success himself. He invented the DADGAD tuning which gave guitarists a way of playing tunes on the treble strings with bass accompaniment on the lower strings with much more ease than they could muster using the EADGBE tuning or any of alternate or open tunings used at the time.
Davy Graham recorded “Anji” in the late nineteen fifties and it was passionately embraced by guitarists in Europe and America. This YouTube video is a tutorial on how to play this powerful instrumental which, in spite of its simplicity, presents a number of challenges and rewards to the novice guitar player.
