Going Across The Sea - Gary Gallier

A great old tune in concert. For dulcimer players, this is an example of playing cross key on a dAD tuned dulcimer in the Key of A, no capo. The fiddle tune type leads are flatpicked across the strings using Key of A scale, a key that better suits my voice. You'll notice how the left hand resolves to the simple 101 chord and melody played as needed out of that. A very nice benefit of flatpicking all the strings.

Hey Gary,

Loved the adaptation of the old song.

Great instrumental interludes.

Very interesting to me in that you look AWAY from your dulcimer during that time!

Just trying to find the 'zone' :) That is a nice thing about flatpicking the dulcimer...all the notes are just right there.
