Description: This Applecreek dulcimer method book is an easy-to-use instructional method for the beginner. Anyone can learn to play the Appalachian dulcimer with this. All the basics are covered from tuning to strumming and picking. Dulcimers can be tuned to any key. The first three strings are tuned to whatever key you like and the fourth , bass string, is tuned to the fourth note of the scale. If you want to play in D the fourth string is A. In C the fourth is G, and so on. The examples in the book are notated in C. The notation has the fret number for the melody above the note. If you tune to a different key the melody will still be the same, but in a different key. Hopefully this explanation doesn't confuse you. It is really quite simple and easy to play. This is one of the oldest and culturally diverse instruments in the world. Versions of the dulcimer exist around the world and have their origins in ancient history. 19 favorite songs are included: Amazing Grace Aura Lee Old Folks At Home Dixie Marines' Hymn My Darling Clementine I've Been Working On The Railroad Shenandoah Shortnin' Bread Goodbye, Old Paint Skip To My Lou Oh! Susanna On Top Of Old Smokey Row, Row, Row Your Boat Down In The Valley Home On The Range Baby Lullabye Red River Valley Hush Little Baby The Applecreek dulcimer is available in my other listings.
