Cluck Ol' Hen

Elvensong » Videos » Cluck Ol' Hen

musician/member name: Music

description:
Cluck Ol' Hen is a popular old fiddle tune - pretty much a staple of Appalachian music.

This is based on Aaron O'Rourke's arrangement and is my favorite version because it has such attitude. Enjoy!

Thank you for playing this tune.  It gets you moving and like they say "an old staple in Appalachian music.  So, I've never played a chromatic dulcimer.  I've been playing a mountain dulcimer tuned to DAA.  It gets frustrating at times to play everything in the key of D.  Chromatic gives you flexibility to play in various keys besides D?

WOW! This is exceptional, Dean, and you top this tune off with your own sublime style.


Did I see it correctly: did you invent a new picking style playing with two picks simultaneously?



Hey Ariane, thanks so much! I am using a PykMax so it might look like two picks but it's a single pick. hi5

Outstanding 'Ol Hen, Dean!  

One of the many things I love about mountain dulcimer is the variety of playing styles and of instruments.
