Hey Bing, I've played guitar for about 40 years, but I've learned the dulcimer this year, and fell in love with it. Your dulcimer videos and Steven Seifert's have been such a great learning tool for me. You're a great player! I've always been a fan of the blues, and they sound awesome on the dulcimer. Keep up the great videos!

You're awesome, I've been trying to figure out the blues on my dulcimer but it's been rather tricky, this helped tremendously!!

More please!

[dread66mon]

@afghanwg Glad you liked it! There is a book in the works, different styles of blues. Maybe by Christmas? Thank you so much for watching.

[njane6507]

Great job, Bing. Thank you so much. I have been trying to play the blues on the dulcimer since I bought it.

[dread66mon]

@njane6507 I used to think it couldn't be done - glad there are a bunch of us out there now doing it and keeping it alive! Thanks for watching.

[shaowebb]

Nice one Bing! This scale is sweet. The more I try moving it into different areas on my dulcimer the more pleased I am. Pretty versatile stuff you're showing us here.

[dread66mon]

@shaowebb Glad you got some use out of it! I thank Steve Eulberg for showing me the boxes once - it really opened things up.

[albinowolf2]

Play on, Bing. Blues are a good thing, for sure :)

One love, one heart!
