    My grandfather in the Smoky mountains used to build duclimers like this. To me you can't play true mountain music without it .

    • @stephenseifert
      @stephenseifert  7 месяцев назад

      I follow what I know about the instrument and music, I follow a kind of beginner version that's in my head, and then I try to render it a little different every time I play it. I do have some simple tablature. Email me at stephen@stephenseifert.com if I can help.

    PS what does the Capo do here?

    • @stephenseifert4283
      @stephenseifert4283 3 года назад

      It changes what notes are droning, which gives a different kind of scale. Notice there's missing frets? We get different arrangements of whole and half-steps when we (dulcimer players) capo.

    • @marymcandrew7667
      @marymcandrew7667 Год назад

      What is "capo"? I'm new at dulcimer.

    • @stephenseifert
      @stephenseifert  11 месяцев назад

      I'm in DAD and capoed at 1. It makes my open strings drone the 1 chord in E minor. It's one of the ways we can play in varies keys of E.

    • @stephenseifert
      @stephenseifert  11 месяцев назад

      A capo on the dulcimer is usually a C clamp. It's like have someone hold down all three strings at the same fret while you play the dulcimer. It allows us to play in different keys and different kinds of keys.

    what’s your strum pattern for come thou fount?

    • @stephenseifert
      @stephenseifert  11 месяцев назад

      I move out and in to the beat and feel of the music whether I'm hitting the strings or not. A lot of the time I hit just the outs, but sometimes I hit out-ins or groups of out-ins. This video goes over the technique. Of course there's other things I do, but I do a lot of the above. I don't really think in terms of patterns, but maybe sometimes I do. Mostly not.

      @stephenseifert  11 месяцев назад

      Not everyone likes chopped liver, but I can't seem to get enough. Hey, criticism is welcome around here. It's RUclips. And by the way, this recording is a bit harsh. Are you talking about the use of mutes?
