  • 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.

  • Beautiful, thank you

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • @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

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

  • Beautiful!

  • That's right pretty, thanks.

  • @criticalcrab thts how the song is written

  • very pretty, thanks for sharing

  • 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!
