Playing Jessica Comeau's arrangement of this piece on my cherry McSpadden. Thought I was playing it pretty smoothly--the audio is eye-opening to a hitch here and there in how I play it. My hitches aside, it does show off the gorgeous tones this dulcimer is capable of--and makes use of that lovely 1+ fret at the end. I do love having that there!
That's what I love, too. And if you try and fail, you just make a bad note. I also paint with watercolors--one bad move and you might wreck the whole thing. :)
Oh, I've seen Linda B on video, too-- wow! You indicate fingerpicking is something to which you aspire. One thing I love most about making music is there is always something to learn, a new adventure to be had. It's fun and challenging.
Thanks, Robin! Yeah, I was drawn to the chord/melody style pretty much right off the bat--and I love Jessica's arrangements. I want to up my fingerpicking game, too. I played this with a pick, DAD. Was watching a Linda Brockinton video the other day...wow, her fingers are magical. Something more to aspire to!
Lisa, your play is lovely! I'm so glad you posted this here-- it is great to hear the many different styles of play and how those styles reflect a tune's mood. You chose a lovely arrangement with one by Jessica C!
