House of the Rising Sun

Here is my version of the House of the Rising Sun. I'm playing it in the key of Dm on a chromatic mountain dulcimer tuned DAd.

Awesome man. I play on a modal fretboard. is it any different playing on a chromatic as far as your fingerings?

@DeadSilent120 Thanks for watching. Well, yes it is different considering that I am playing frets that you don't have. Also, the way I'm playing this, there are some accidentals that you can't play on a diatonic fretboard.

@Greengulchleaves Thanks for watching. And although I was inspired by the Animals version, I was not trying to copy them. And in case you didn't know, the Animals were doing a cover when they did this song. This is a old traditional song that was first recorded by Texas Alexander in 1927.

@cliffcyphers hmm, I did not know that. thank you

[Greengulchleaves]

it wasn't until halfway through that i realized this was a cover. My dad used to always play this on his Animals record. :) beautiful version
