Barre Chording on a Dulcimer

Posted by Diane in Chicago on October 19, 2010 at 9:31am
This video opens up a whole new world! I'll be posting diagrams of the two basic barre chord shapes and how they work up the neck soon.  Meanwhile, please get a beverage of your choice and sit back to watch THE WHOLE THING, as many times as you need to!

    Jef has some other split-fret fingerboards which are so complicated I don't even know where to start.  Check his photos!

    Dianne,

     

    Thanks for the post of this vid.  It is very challenging to think that the stummers we've been building can be so versitle.  I'm not sure I'm ready to take it on, but it's nice to know I can go a lot further with these little instruments....

     

    the best,

     

    Sam

    haha Joke only Diane, thanx lovely. I was quite happy to remain anon..
    folks, at dianes request, here is close up of the frets we black out at the beginning. These are the notes to avoid on a standard strumstick, they're either for the more advanced players, or just a shortcoming of mass producing the instrument at a $100 price point, u decide.

    enjoy ♪♫♪
