It's the big secret of a lot of popular guitar compositions. Loads of those tunes that you can't figure out are in open/alternate tunings. Blues players with open G and D hint at some possibilities.

Petteway's version of Wayfaring Stranger is wonderful. I don't hear any bagpipes nor anything Celtic, just a nice, bluesy arrangement. I haven't used an open tuning (except for Em7sus4) for years. It's just too much trouble to retune. It slows down the show for no good reason.
I have a question about the DVD that clip is from. It's evidently called Appalachian Fingerstyle Guitar. Al may live in Appalachia but that's the only thing Appalachian about it. I'm aware of no Appalachian tradition that arrangement could be said to have come from.
Nice instruction. One could learn Al's arrangement pretty easily from that.

I am guessing that the DVD is a collection of Appalachian tunes, arranged for fingerstyle in updated ways.

. . . , I don't hear any bagpipes nor anything Celtic, just a nice, bluesy arrangement. (The first 35 seconds of the video are what I say is the bag pipey part. . . . , and I like it !)

Dadgad capo 5 is basically the same as mountain modal with a low G instead of a high G in the thumb position, so I guess clawhammer would be about the closest general vibe and style of arrangement, albeit different technique.

Interesting. I've been teaching myself to clawhammer guitar using a dadgad capo.

What's interesting, Dick is that I can see that it's open D more than I can hear it. I'm a guitar player of little value, but I can see with your left hand that it was open D, and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. Then the link gave me more choices from that event, and I kept listening, and it was indeed a fine concert that night.
