Deep RootsEasy Folk Songs for Mountain Dulcimer
by Helen Johnson
The
book includes arrangements of familiar folk songs sequenced according
to the level of difficulty. All are in DAD tuning and include a
strumming pattern in the tablature as well as fingering
suggestions. There are also notes in the front of the book
pointing out what's new in each song. This book is intended for
beginning to early
intermediate players, and it should help novice dulcimer players move
from just strumming to a combination of strumming and flatpicking,
greatly enriching their playing. The songs on the CD are in the
same sequence
as those in the book.
