You Can Teach Yourself Dulcimer BOOK/CD/DVD
In this book master dulcimer player Madeline MacNeil teaches beginning players tuning, scales, strumming, fingering, chord studies, alternate tunings, use of the capo, and how to use the "noter." She endorses both playing by ear and learning to read standard notation. In twelve intensive lessons, she explains everything from the basics to some very complex concepts in easily understood language, making this a particularly valuable book for the beginning instrumentalist. The lessons and songs are written in both standard notation and tablature. This package also includes the companion DVD in which MacNeil demonstrates the techniques and songs taught in the book. CD also included.

Following a carefully worded introduction, Madeline sets to work in earnest. Section headings include: Exploring the Dulcimer, Dulcimer Problems, Holding the Dulcimer, Tuning, Strumming, Picks, Reading Tablature, Fingering, Picking and Strumming/Fingerstyle Playing, Singing While You Play, Tuning/Retuning and Why, D A D Tuning, Playing While Others Play, Using a Noter, Changing Strings, Interpretation, Harmonics, and Using a Capo.

The balance of the book is directed towards teaching songs that illustrate a musical point the author wishes to make. Extensive performance notes are included for such tunes as: Are You Sleeping, Boil that Cabbage Down, Waterbound, Soldier's Joy, Cripple Creek, John Brown's Dream, Down in the Valley, Ode to Joy, Oh, Susanna, Au Clair de la Lune, Flop-eared Mule, Golden Slippers, Simple Gifts, Amazing Grace, She'll Be Comin 'Round the Mountain, Home on the Range, When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Away in a Manger, The Ash Grove, Arkansas Traveler, Shady Grove, Greensleeves, The Willow Song, Goin' to Boston, Bonnie Tyneside, Home on the Range, Whiskey Before Breakfast, Harvest Home, Country Gardens, and others.
