Greensleeves

[desertsongtv]

@criticalcrab The mountain dulcimer is a diatonic instrument, lacking frets at the intermediate positions which would allow the playing of some of the pitches which properly belong to this melody. The player had to skip several tones of the melody we know as Greensleeves, because it does not follow any of the diatonic modes. I admire this player's inventiveness, but prefer not to sacrifice the delicious variations afforded by those notes you are missing.

@poeticsong725 do some reserch dude the mountain Dulcimer is an instument of the mountains here in the US

it's orgians I think can be traced to Celtic ,and to area of mid east but it is famous for being used in eraly America in eastern mountains

[nbkyl56]

Would really like to have your secret, or a tab! I am going to watch a hundred or so times and see if I can figure it out, but if you can give us some hints about how you do this tune it would really be nice!

[fwampt62]

珍しい楽器ですね。

[stanbeacham]

This is an absolutely enchanting version. I love it!

[NiireNolweva]

Beautiful! Nice job! I love it!

[DianeKY]

I know this is an old video, but Loreid, do you have a tab for this? The way you play it? Beautiful, simply beautiful.

[ArtieTheStrongestMan]

Excellent!

[swordrawn]

sound eerily simlar to "road to lisdonvarna"

[aikido10]

Nice...I could listen to this for hours

[undeadkid1]

Beautiful job! Are you playing from a book? If so..what book? I've looked for sheet music or books and can't seem to find anything with the way you play in them! :( Post a message and let me know what book or sheet music you use! Thanks..and keep on playing..make more videos!!!! Love, Love, Love it!!!!

[TheRobbyny]

Beautiful, thank you

[undeadkid1]

@TheRobbyny

what book are you playing from? can you post it? thanks!

[criticalcrab]

Pretty! There's a flat in there that I keep expecting...and you go down a whole step. Is that because the fret is not there? The feel is different and totally works, youve made it yours. Just curious.

[BethDiane]

@criticalcrab

It looks to me like she tuned the top string down a whole step, thus allowing the minor third and the whole step lower. An interesting possibility!

[ComradeMorshu]

@criticalcrab Yeah, that's because of the diatonic fretting, it doesn't have any half steps

[randomine32]

@criticalcrab thts how the song is written

[scrubanizer]

@criticalcrab the flat is at 0:25, and it is cool, but its driving me nuts because i need an explanation!

[oquinnjoe]

@scrubanizer it is fretted diatonic. That was the sound of a mode you weren't expecting probable. It may be the Mixolydian mode you are referring to.

[Myrnir]

Hi dudes... i need your help.

Is that a traditional tune?

[cvmnrob]

Beautiful

[DavesRiffage]

That was beautiful, you have a good ear for music :)

[DRLIT]

Love your style

[bluesyfr]

Jolie !!!

[lefflerfamily]

Tuning appears to be DAD.

[scuz888]

what tuning are you playing in?

[GratefulInNY]

And to think I have one of these, (looks exact), just haning' around. I do believe it's time to put some strings on it & play! Beautiful job! Thanks for the inspiration~

[didymustoo]

It's a dulcimer

[espgraham]

muy muy bonito,llega al corazón.

[GroundedSaugage]

¿qué nacionalidad es usted?

[ryanlock2u]

Pienso que ella es de los Estados Unidos.

[OnlyOneDavo]

Wonderful.

[gemini16th]

Beautiful- your playing proves this instrument can handle all periods of music- this piece was originally written for the Lute(guitar's grandfather) in 16th century. I've also heard other Elizabethean works played on it.

[Zeitgeist1208]

I think every instrument can handle every period of music . WIth pretty much skill you might even play it on a trumpet :P

[gretchenman]

This is masterfully executed!!! Very well done!

[bandruid]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[Kane2pointOh]

I love dulcimers! They have such a beautiful sound. Bravo!

[Nickovitch2370]

May I ask what is the tuning for a dulcimer? I am starting to get into playing it and teaching myself how to play it but I don't know what the tuning is.

[lovedulcimermusic]

[dread66mon]

Very nice!

[Dulcimerist]

Sweet job on this beautiful song! Are you using DAc, or DAd for this? At first I thought you were in DAc, but the barre chords on the first fret make me think you're in DAd...

[neonknight5150]

that really was beautiful, its in DAG i believe

[Loreid]

Thanks! It's DAD
