[MusicTlk] accessible mountain dulcimer lessons

[dpdevendra at gmail.com]

Thanks for the response.  As I indicated in my note, I did search the NLS and  only found one lesson.  That was the one you referenced from Home Spun.  She uses a stick to fret the strings.  Also I was looking for some more updated playing.      

I have used many home spun materials and found them marginally useful.  Either they reference tab  for much of the lessons or assume you can see what they are doing on the DVD's.

Again, thanks for looking this up.

Have you looked at Homespun Tapes? They do have CDs too. From what I’m seeing, Traditional Mountain Dulcimer taught by Jean Richie looks like it might be what you're looking for.

Hope this helps,
Tarren
