Dulcimer tabs

Posted by Diane in Chicago on January 23, 2010 at 9:30am

If you are new to playing your dulcimer, here is a good starting place for tabs. The notation system is very simple and explained at the bottom of each page.

You can add more links here, or put up a page, like I did below for "I Walk the Line", done by my sister who's had her dulcimer for only four weeks! So have at it!

Happy plucking!

Hi All...

I have some songs for diatonically tuned one-stringers (maybe a couple requiring 2 strings) on my personal blog on CBN. If you are into chromatically tuned instruments, try this link instead. All these songs assume you are playing a 1-5-1 tuned instrument (D-A-D', G-D-G', etc.), but they have been arranged to be played on 1 string (with maybe a couple of exceptions). Enjoy.

-Rand.

P.S. I also did this detailed version of Waltzing Matilda:

And here is a blog that is collecting strummer notation. If you are using the number system, this will work for both stick and mountain/lap style dulcimers.
