Below is a link to a fingerpicked arrangement of Southwind. The
arrangement is for my introductory fingerpicking class and is designed to incorporate a variety of techniques, including
hammer-ons, pull-offs, brushes and pinches.
I love old time music and the droning sound of the strings
on fiddle tunes played on the mountain dulcimer. On Dancin' Dan, I am playing on an older (circa 1970) 5-string
dulcimer tuned DADaa.
Listen to Dancin' Dan
Click on the song titles below to hear a recording of Lee Cagle playing the mountain dulcimer
and to see tablature for the song. Enjoy listening, or play along. I play the songs at a moderate speed
so that you can hear the tune and play along with me if you would like.
For Gray Cat, I am tuned to DAD and start at the 4th fret.
Holiday trivia:
Did you know that in the book "I
Spy Christmas -- A Book of Picture Riddles" on page 12 in the upper left corner of the toy store window there is a teardrop
mountain dulcimer?
It's never to early to practice
for Christmas!
