11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Central Time.

Five 60-minute sessions. $120 per course.

This is a standalone course.

England has given us a beautiful collection of folk songs, and many of them fit the mountain dulcimer wonderfully. We’ll use these melodies to develop rich, expressive fingerpicking arrangements.

You’ll work on relaxed right-hand technique, tone control, filler picking, chord choices, smooth transitions, and different ways of supporting a melody. I especially want to help you play a song more than once without making every verse sound exactly the same.

You’ll finish with a collection of complete arrangements plus fingerpicking ideas you can use with other music. We’ll use DAD tuning. Bring a capo. Complete tablature will be provided.

I’ll record each entire live session from beginning to end. You’ll receive all five complete session videos whether or not you attend live, so you can review the instruction, practice along again, or catch up on anything you miss.
