Traditional mountain dulcimer BEGINNER#9 Muted strum rhythm practice

For beginners learning to play Appalachian mountain dulcimer in the old traditional style. Here is a way to really IMPROVE your strumming rhythm without driving others crazy! Try muted rhythm strums, it's fun! Includes some varied strum rhythms to practice.
If you need a lot of help in keeping a steady rhythm, use a metronome (you can even use one online!) or play your muted rhythm practice right along with a favorite cd of yours.
This video is part of my traditional mountain dulcimer noter and drone playing BLOG for beginners:

Thank you so much for your encouraging and kind comment. :)

Thank you for your wonderful videos. Video # 8 Tuning to Four Modes clears up what seems a complex topic in the books. One good video is worth a hundred pages of instruction.

Also, I enjoy how your relate lessons to real world situations.

Please keep them coming.
