<p style="text-align: left;">Some of the songs like "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR can be played with one finger(video by Glenn Watts) or do as a lap steel.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Btw 'Biofreeze' and CBD cream works wonders on my hands.</p>

<p>That Shane Speal video is vital, cuz he shows just how easy it is to remember & play the Blues scale? Even if he is soloing on just one string. Those are the basic fundamentals of the Blues in it’s most simple form? <br/> </p>

<p>James you are over thinking it..lol</p>
<p>pentatonic is literally a 5 note scale, most often used with blues in a CBG context.</p>
<p>incoming theory.. you have been warned.lol</p>
<p>a dulcimer scale is just all the correct notes in a scale ie. to keep things simple lets assume the scale ( key) of C major.. so the notes are C D E F G A B C . between C and the C an octave higher there are 12 frets. on your dulcimer the fret between C and D has been left out. the same for D to E, F to G…</p>

<p>what a pentatonic does is just leave out a few more...so yes you can absolutely fret a canjo etc in a pentatonic scale. the only really different thing is that a pentatonic scale flats the 3rd and 7th notes so C pentatonic would be C Eflat F G Bflat C.</p>
<p>so you could just put those frets on a neck tune to G or what ever note you want to use as the root note and never play a bum note...lol</p>
<p>its too late and my brain is starting to hurt but im not sure if this would work with multiple strings.... what it would work for is 1 string 1 scale.. so a 3 string could have 1 string for A one for G one for E..</p>
<p>there are far better theorists than me on this site so be warned ,its a can of quavers you have opened...lol</p> I always thought 'pentatonic'…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2019-11-11:2592684:Comment:34075602019-11-11T11:32:08.145ZKOOL DOG HOOCHhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/WillBonner
<p>I always thought 'pentatonic' was a radio brand and chromatic was made by Kodak! So don't feel bad. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn something here. Watch every video you can by Shane Speal, Glenn Watts, Del Puckett or Justin James or Johnson (I'll double check)tons of information, this on top of the people here that have music theory under their belts and are willing to share it!
