Bing: I'm learning to play, and totally loving it ! Your videos are inspiring -- Thank you so much for sharing your talents on YouTube and your website. Lately I've been trying to understand what you are doing rhythmically with the strumming on this song and Rosin the Beau - but I can't quite figure it out. Is there a video that I have missed (I haven't seen them all yet) ?

@BungalowMilllie Hi Millie - thanks for the kind words and for watching! I haven't done a lot of rhythm exercises with Dulcimerica but will be working something up soon!

Nice video! I like this version. My dulcimer society plays a version that's a little more finger-friendly. In the C part where you walk a 310 chord up to a 510, we move from a 310 to a 432 to a 533 and back down... it keeps us from having to stretch too much, but it's dang tricky. I might post a video of it soon.

Thanks! Your version sounds more intense than mine!
