A new book of arrangements by Helen Johnson is
now available. A demo CD is included . This book
is intended for beginning to early intermediate players, and it should help
novice dulcimer players move from just strumming to a combination of
strumming and flat picking, greatly enriching their playing.
The book includes arrangements of familiar folk songs
sequenced according to the level of difficulty. All are in D-A-D
tuning and include a strumming pattern in the tablature as well as fingering
suggestions. There are also notes in the front of the book pointing
out what's new in each song. The songs on the CD are in the same
sequence as those in the book. This is NOT a studio-quality CD but is
intended to demonstrate how a song is to be played. Each song is
played through twice on the CD.
