        Ok…

        Got a dulcimer tab question!

        When you are in D A D tuning and you are struming and picking..how do you handle this (picture)

        Do you just do the melody line ?

          Hey Lorrie,

          Could this be a tab for fingerstyle playing?  Because that’s the only way I see to do that.  As for mechanics, I’d use the thumb on 4 so that you can reach the 1st on the bass string (if you strum it?).

            Thats the problem w some tabs…they don’t tell you bout the strum hand.. i tried it with just the melody string . Sounds ok..the book is nice but.. needs more info… have tried to finger pic….but sounds aweful..but of course..i really don’t think im doing it right…🤷‍♀️

                    Yes, that video showed the richness of baritone and I agree that lower is easier to sing with.  I really could not can not go to that workshop

                    working on Bass: swing low; Michael row the boat      working on Baritone: John stenson 2 and last weeks Folkcraft riff   And this land is your land trying to decide if bass or baritone.

                            Twice?

                            Now I’m worried..

                                I may need an intervention, I’m down to 2 open back banjos and 1 very sentimental Resonator banjo that’ll never get played or sold(it’s the one I tripped over).

                                I did get a guitar though…
