Desert Blues - Alan Freeman Tribute

Rob N Lackey » Videos » Desert Blues - Alan Freeman Tribute

musician/member name:
Duration: 00:03:52
description:
The old song Desert Blues played on a 5 string Jim Good dulcimer, in Jim's tuning BGDDD. This one has the melody strings paired, but the B & G separated. I'm trying to play in somewhat the style of the great Alan Freeman. That thumb slide is hard to get right!

Steve, Gordon... thanks a bunch. Kevin.. it's something I had to try since I've got these Jim Goods. That thumb slide is harder than it looks, and remembering to use the thumb rather than the index finger has been difficult, too. Steph, I certainly thank you for that. I love to play those kind of things. I'm working on "Ain't Misbehavin'" now, since I've always sung it in G. Jim, John... I appreciate that very much. Patty ... I'm sure glad someone enjoys it! Robin T.... I thank you, thank you, thank you. That's what I was trying to do, not just be imitative. After corresponding with Alan for a while now, I've come to appreciate him more and more.

Rob, you do honor to Alan's style and on a Good dulcimer (what Alan plays), to boot! Well done!

Thanks, Ken. I kind of just threw it together. Alan's style is so unique that I hesitated to try to emulate it, but after playing around with it for a while, it's fun.

Before the comments start: Yes, I know it's headless. I thought it more important to get all the dulcimer in rather than all of me. hmmmm..... Maybe I'll try that next. Thanks in advance for watching!
