Nowadays we usually name the notes in our tunings, such as DAD or DAA, but before we had 6+ frets (and 1+ frets), folks often used modal names, like “C Mixolydian” or “D Dorian” or “G reverse Ionian.” You'll learn what all those tunings are and how to use them, and we’ll play some tunes in some of them. Tune your three-string to DAD, and we’ll take it from there.
