This is a great resource for those of us who are new to the dulcimer, but not new to music theory. This gives accurate definitions of music terms, but what makes it valuable are the examples of how each term applies to the mountain dulcimer. I found the interval placements and chord shapes especially useful.

Scotland the brave? Noice!

6 1/2 fret? Not original dulcimer then?

Thank you - just starting dulcimer and this nicely offers possibilities!

Awesome! I know Im pretty late to the game, but do you still have the transcription of this song? Ive been having trouble with figuring out the chord progressions.

Wall...I'll be....

Cool 🌄🧺

Best ever

Greetings, very clean and concise. And very, very,very useful. Thank you. pax, PL

Great video, thanks for the lesson

thanks jim

OK, this is VERY cool!

Nice shirts!

Is it possible to play a-flat songs on mountain dulcimer?

Diggs sure killed it on his parts!

Nice cymbal break Speedy!

Hey Jim, Bought my 1st dulcimer in 79' and several more since. This is easily the best theory lesson I've encountered and I know it will inform my playing. Very, very well done!! - special big thanks for helping to clarify modes and the valuable circle of 5ths.

I believe that the 4 chord in the B part should be a 5, despite or contrary to bluegrass tradition.

I saw some on here that are chromatic with 6 strings.. now I am more confused about this.. if someone has a chromatic one is it more versatile? What is the difference in how they are tuned? Jeez.. what to do..

Just now getting to this, guitarist here.. tell me everything! How much to buy a decent one, where to get it, tell me everything!!

This is way above my head?

This is a fabulous lesson! I just got my mountain dulcimer today, and this has helped me understand the instrument in relation to piano which I can play by chords. Thank you!!

LOL great! I can imagine turning up at our session in that! By the way - do you milk cows?

Saved this to watch several more times. Great demonstration. And, the sound is beautiful.

Sure packed a lot into 17 minutes. Great job!!

Thats my 4th grade teacher Mr.JimMiller

Hello Jim. Thank you very much for this wonderful lesson. I've been looking for the theory side for a long time. I'll be reviewing it often.

11 people better get on some anti-depressant meds before they hang themselves.

Yea but can he play a gourd?

Thanks for posting this. I'm new to the dulcimer but a guitarist of 30+ years. It's helped me figure out this great little instrument quite a bit. Cheers from Texas.

I've been thinking about a way to do this for years. I thought of making the rosined circle more like a tank tread so that all three string a re in contact with it.

I recently came across an instrument a bit like this,only it doesn't take two players! I am a bit interested in what you have going on here

Is it one of those self-tuning, self-regulating gurdies that applies its own cotton and rosin? If so, I'd very much like to own one.

You boys have got way too much time on your hands

Dude, you're a genius!! And you are freakin hilarious!! I'm gonna have to try to build me one of these :)

where are you fellows from? please stay there! lol lol

Isn't technology wonderful?

@dartzoid Hey Wade, No chemicals here, just pure inspiration.

Jim, Seems to me you have way too much free time and possibly a chemically enhanced lifestyle. Very close to the edge are we? lolololololo WADE

sciller, you still amaze me! Your partner in bad behavior from years past, Wade

@modder03 well when u place the order that is the number they give you. at the time I ordered they were only making 500 per year but that was last year maybe they changed the numbering. They do not write it though on your Halo.
