Judy House - Jam Across America

Jam Across America is Judy House's big jam book for mountain dulcimer clubs: over 130 songs, picked after Judy looked through the online playlists of dulcimer clubs all around the country to see what groups in different regions like to play. Some of these tunes go back centuries, and some have only just entered the public domain. A few you'll know already, and many will be new to your group.

The arrangements change to suit the song. Fast fiddle tunes give the melody note alone, since there's no time to finger full chords at speed, and there are easy ones for beginners. Others have full or partial chords, and you'll also find rounds, melody and harmony parts, songs in more than one key (with a capo, of course!) and verses for a few of them. Play as much of each arrangement as suits your skill level, and grow into the rest.

All arrangements are in DAD tuning, in tablature with standard notation.
