Melanie & Mack Johnston - Dulcimer Jam Training Wheels

Very good book for beginner MD players

Received as ordered….looks like fun

If you’re looking for music to play on the dulcimer that’s as simple as can be while you get the feel of the fret board, finger position on the frets, simple time, single melody notes (no multiple notes to be played) this is the choice: wonderful resource for rank beginners. Even more experienced beginners. With this book you can play songs on the Appalachian dulcimer if you’ve had little or no training or previous practice. Includes many traditional dulcimer tunes, tabbed in single note melody tab (no notes in the middle or bass strings) with strumming only of the middle and bass strings. This book will get you started playing recognizable songs quickly. Highly recommended.

I quite enjoyed starting to play the book. A fair number of the songs are unfamiliar to me--that is a good thing. The type is large enough to read, and there is plenty of space so I'm not squinting at the Tab. Good Job! I probably should give it a 5, but haven't had long enough to get familiar with the book to make a final judgement.

Great tunes nicely rendered. Once you get through with this book, you’ll be able to play dozens and dozens of fiddle tunes. They’re set up so that a beginner can jump right in.
