How to Play the Mountain Dulcimer, Parts I and II: Introduction and The Dulce Melos Method

This basic mountain dulcimer lesson is for people who have yet to meet the Appalachian mountain dulcimer or who might enjoy an introduction to the playing style that I am featuring. It includes three parts: I. Meet the Mountain Dulcimer, II. The Dulce Melos Method, and III. The Water is Wide. This video includes Parts I and II, and Part III is in a second installment: https://youtu.be/MzaJG08SNnc.

Correction Notes:
On page 124 and in the video “How to Play the Mountain Dulcimer,” the correct recommended string gauges should be .010 inches for the treble string, .014 inches for the middle, and .023 inches for the bass. :-)
Also, C3 is the code for middle C on Yamaha keyboards, but middle C is also known as C4 (follow your ears! :-).
