Description:

Ah but the slow ones are my favourites! This is a Welsh folk melody called Malltraeth (which is a beautiful spot on the coast of Anglesey in north Wales). It can be played as a waltz, but I think it's better as more of a slow air. I need to work on it to make it smoother - the melody jumps around quite a bit and I trip over my fingers.

I really like the way you play the one note that doesn't belong in the D scale(G#,only available on the 6+1/2 fret of the A string) without fingering an appropriate accompaniment chord ...Just sounds so right.

Thank you! I had to play it to myself again to remind myself what I’d done! I really appreciate your comments Jamie. 😊

Sounds great.I grew up singing in choirs...I often hear other suggested voices in your music which is a real treat.

Thanks! It’s an interesting comment - I always start by trying to find the melody on the dulcimer and then finding harmonies that are within reach of my fingers. I seldom look at chord charts.  My dulcimer has a lot of sustain too, which helps - runs of notes harmonise sometimes because of it and make up fo the lack of nimbleness in my fingers!
