Dulcimer Lesson – Playing The Lower Octave in D-A-D Tuning
Jul 20th, 2011 by Doug Berch
One of the joys of playing dulcimer in D-A-D is the ability to play an entire octave using only the first three frets. I came across this idea in the early 1970′s and it quickly became integral to my dulcimer playing.
The tablature shows a D Major scale starting on the open bass string and ending using the open melody string. The fingerings in the tablature are suggestions to get you started. I vary the fingering to best suit the music being played.
Great little lesson …thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
