  • Too much talking...just do it....

  • Great!! I'll check out the magazine, for sure. I've been wanting to go to HD festivals, just wasn't sure how to find them. Yes, a little "real" instruction would probably go a long way for me. Thanks again!

  • I really liked your channel and this video. If you need any help getting this video exposed I use a site called tubeviews.(net) It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position.

    that is very awesome i love this

  • Great series of hammered dulcimer lessons on how to play in the dark.

  • Thanks Tim - that was very helful and interesting. I am really keen to learn backup and accompaniment. I do play accompaniment on piano for jigs, reels strathspeys etc but for some reason can't transfer that to my dulcimer playing.

  • there is a web site called every thing dulicmer.they list festivals as well.

  • are a few of the places where you can go. The magazine, The Dulcimer Player News (DPN) carries a listing as well as lots of music and instructional tips for playing.

  • EG, you ought to try to go to one of the 'dulcmer camps' or dulcimer weekends and take a class on back up. It's so much fun and a great way to play in a jam session when you don't know the tune. There's so much more to cover about chords. Thw Swannanoa Gatering, the Augusta Heritage center, the Evart Hammered Dulcimer festival

  • Thank you so much!!!! I've been trying to get other musicians to teach me how to play back-up on my Hammered Dulcimer, to no avail. The most definative answer I got was to "play the same thing, only less." Once again you have appeared to influence and expand my HD horizons! Many, Many thanks!
