+Markus Mueller Well, of course, you could buy my Merlin music books… I have 3 books. The first "Merlin music book 80 songs" is the most basic. Play the melody on the twin melody strings while strumming all strings. Then I have The Merlin Thumb Picking books volume one and volume two. In these two books you learn to pick the tune with your thumb on all the strings plus you learn the chords to these songs. All of these techniques are covered in this video "You Are My Sunshine". If you are interested contact me at my email address; lewdite@hotmail.com
How did you have that tuned for the bar chords? I can never get a good sounding bar chord on a dulcimer/stick dulcimer with DAD tuning, yet yours sounded good.
It doesn't really work sliding the 1st string up as the other notes are out of key with it, it would have been better to stick to the base notes and the singing, which I must say is rather good.
I shouldn't have listened to this before bed. This song always makes me tear up. Only lullaby that made me contemplate death and loss.
My sweet dad used to sing this one to my daughter...tears indeed.
Thanks for this.
NIce work!
Great!
wow that was so fast wish I could find some tutorials on this instrument
