You Can Teach Yourself Dulcimer by Madeline MacNeil
In this book master dulcimer player Madeline MacNeil teaches beginning players tuning, scales, strumming, fingering, chord studies, alternate tunings, use of the capo, and how to use the "noter." She endorses both playing by ear and learning to read standard notation. In twelve intensive lessons, she explains everything from the basics to some very complex concepts in easily understood language, making this a particularly valuable book for the beginning instrumentalist. The lessons and songs are written in both standard notation and tablature. This package also includes the companion DVD in which MacNeil demonstrates the techniques and songs taught in the book. CD also included. BOOK/CD/DVD (94304SET) $24.95 $23.70
