About A Major in DADGAD
The A Major chord contains the notes A, C#, E. In DADGAD tuning (strings: D–A–D–G–A–D), the chord shapes differ from standard tuning because the open string pitches change. DADGAD is popular in Celtic and folk guitar — the open strings form a Dsus4 chord. Diagrams above show all playable shapes in this tuning.
