Wonderful. What brand of dulcimer is that?
-
@linzamin Technically that run is E - D - C# - B - A, but I tend to treat it as a slide more often than not, depending on the kind of back rhythm I'm putting into it. Melody is coming from the fourth fret initially with the "B" section bits coming from 2 - 3- 4 and the second octave.

@linzamin OK. I've had my dulcimer for a month now and am really starting to get the hang of it. That was great playing on Soldier's Joy. I think I've got all the notes except for the fast part starting at 1:44. Are you playing a 3 or 4 note run? What frets are you playing for the melody? 2 - 1 - 0 ? or something else? Thanks for helping a beginner.

@linzamin it's really about the same either way. Better to get started with the 1.5 and 8.5 so you can get used to them quicker. Thanks for watching!

@jglasband thank you!

Sounds great! I'm just starting out on the dulcimer. Is it a lot more difficult to play a fast picking song like this if you have the 1.5 and 8.5 fret? I have a dulcimer ordered with these extra frets because I like to play blues. I'm thinking it will be just a matter of muscle memory and learning the fretboard. Am I right or way off track? I see that you play with 1.5 and also without. Thanks in advance for helping a beginner.

I started playing dulcimer a year ago, and used it a lot for colonial reenacting. This is the first song I learned on it (by watching your video over and over again), and it was always a huge hit at events. I fell in love with this instrument after seeing these videos, and the videos were a great way to get started. Thank you so much for all the videos you do, and thank you for helping others learn them too!
