Wildwood Flower on Appalachian Dulcimer

I borrowed a friends' Appalachian Dulcimer and figured out some songs. This is the classic bluegrass song "Wildwood Flower" I based it off a version I play on the mandolin.

Thanks that was swell !

@IGOROZKARSKY You're welcome! Thanks for the compliment.

why are you strumming there? You're supposed to strum the strings farther down , just above the cut-out area. That's why it's CUT OUT! Jeez!

[matthiax]

@twjroth11 Jeez! I'd only played it for like 2 hours at that point. I thought I did alright for that amount of time.

Do you have anything else posted yet? I've been working on that song too but have a way to go before I'm totally comfortable with it.

[matthiax]

hey - no, I'm in Kenya, and I don't have good internet. and I don't own a dulcimer anyway I was just borrowing it. don't worry, just keep working on it and I'm sure it will be fine!

@twjroth11

Jeez, to get a mellower sound you play farther down......

@IBG67 If you want to be technical about it....it really is supposed to be pronounced appa-lay-shun....it's just that most people down south say apa-latch-un. How do I know? I was raised in Mobile, Alabama and spent my Summers in the Great Smoky Mountains of Gatlinburg Tennessee! Oh and I also looked in the dictionary. lol

@gUrL4aNiMaLs It's a dulcimer.

[craigschirato]

Is that one of Tom Yocky's dulcimers?

[legendofwii92]

Dulcimers are so cool! That's a great song choice.

[IBG67]

its ap-uh-latch-un. not LAYSHUN. i hate to hear that.
