I enjoyed your video, Cynthia!  You always make me feel like I just dropped in to share some tunes for awhile...it always seems so cozy--and you're not nervous at all!

It is Well With My Soul has been a favorite of mine for several decades.  I'm glad you like it, too!

Thanks William, I hope you do it and sing too. I'd love to hear that.

I like the hymn choice. Had not tried this one before; but I'll have to, now.

Thanks for posting the link Dusty, I knew he did but thought it was with the Advanced Noter Techniques which I loved.

For anyone interested, Robin Clark did a little lesson on this technique , which he calls "angled noter technique," that allows you to get notes in between the frets.

I hear you Lisa. I sure was wanting the note right in between.

Ah, well I really meant if one is trying to get that note that's right between, like a G#, between a G and an A. Naturally, (no pun intended, lol) there may be other times when one wants a note that's NOT exactly between the two frets, so would then adjust the noter position accordionly....oops I mean accordingly (a chordingly?)

Thanks Lisa. If someone mentioned "right in the middle" between the 2 frets, I guess I didn't hear it. Maybe it will help somebody else. I love this one.

Thank you Gordon, I'd love to hear you play this one too.

Great demonstration of getting the 'in between' note with the noter, Cynthia. It's basically letting the noter itself be the fret , rather than the noter just pushing the string down to the metal fret. Best result is when positioning the noter right at the halfway point between the two frets to get that in-between note one wants.

This was very pretty. Love those slides near the end, too.

Cynthia, you've found another great favorite. You look so comfortable and play so fine. Thank you

Thank you Greg, I'd love to hear your version. I spent my life as a classical guitarist, and now I'm not working so hard at this, just having some fun and love having all of you to share the trip with.

An old favorite of mine! I like your laid back strumming style (with or without the comfy chair )--Thanks for sharing

Thank you Ken, James and Lexie. Yes Ken, All is well with my soul. Had a uke pal come over the last 2 evenings, playing all those great old tunes that really had melody lines, and warm-hearted sweet sentiment, like By the Light of the Silvery Moon. Thanks again for the support guys, and Robert for his truly fabulous dulcimers which are a real inspiration to play.

That was fabulous Cynthia.

I really enjoyed learning about the technique on getting a sharp with the noter.

Very much enjoyed you singing and playing this song for us.

Very nice job Cynthia!

I think you made it happen here, Cynthia. Very nice, and I hope all is well with your soul, You and that chair have certainly become one.

Thanks John P and Terry. The reason I'm doing it DAd John is I like getting the 2nd part of the chorus on the D string. I'll have to try that DAA and see if I can get a decent "mix" with that too. I have been irritated by that sharp since I started and JH said "just rock your noter". He's always been way more rocked out than I am, and I just wasn't getting it. So next time you see him you can say, "She's rockin' it now." Sometimes I just grab a dulcimer tuned however and start doing these videos. Obviously too lazy to take 2, or 3. Schuler makes a fine dulcimer I'll say that. I just love playing his. I guess my "Robert" is all the "Thomas" I'm ever going to need.

Very nice Cynthia. There is only one of you, and that's a compliment. You certainly get the award for "most relaxed" on this forum.

Hi Cynthia, the usual fascinating mixture of styles I see, love your 'no problem too large' approach.

We were discussing 'The Navy Hymn' recently and it looks like this is the same scale, Ionian with an additional augmented 4th.

You should be able to avoid making a 3+ fret with your noter by playing in DAA. (add 3 to what you are already doing, the 6+ => 9). Your 6+ now takes care of the 3+ for you.

Great technique to have up your sleeve though
