Dulcimer,Instrumental Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1457985 By Jaymie Maham. By Jaymie Maham. Arranged by Jaymie Maham. Blues,Contemporary,Rock. Individual part. 2 pages. Jaymie Maham #1036967. Published by Jaymie Maham (A0.1457985). What happens when you take the basic 12 bar blues in the key of D and mix in a doo wop riff? You get a fusion that results in a funky boogie woogie vamp! For mountain dulcimer in standard DAd (1-5-8) tuning, no extra frets are required, but a couple of extra bends in the right spots help with getting that bluesy attitude. Suggested skill level is Advanced Beginner and above. This can be practiced at any speed and the use of barr chords keeps the fingering pretty simple. This isn't intended as a complete song, but rather is a study on the blues chord progression and an exercise in strumming and timing. Get the basic pattern down and you can add a startling amount of improvisation and your own idea of what the blues should be using just basic pentatonic in the box notes/shapes.

The 1+ fret is required. *There are two measures where the 8+ fret is indicated, but an alternate fingering is included for those without it.Suggested skill level is set at Intermediate to Upper Intermediate and above. NOTE:The overall beat of this song is fairly moderate, but after verse one there are a lot of notes added in to match the wordy lyrics. It is a bit deceptive because it sounds like the pace really kicks up at verse 2, but in reality, the beat stays the same...there are just more strums. This works in the player's favor. For the most part, you can hold the same chord shape for many of these measures with your fingers and use your thumb to bounce around to grab the extra notes. It makes it sound like you are working harder than you are.**This is one of those songs that the axiom if you can sing it, you can play it really holds true.Included in this packet:~DAd dulcimer tablature~Complete lyrics and reading order~Lead sheet standard notation~Optional instrumental interlude~Accompaniment chords~Alternate finger positions for no 8+ fret A YouTube demo video for this song will be uploaded soon.
