Opis

A Dulcimer for Christmas is a great way to share the joy of the Christmas season on your mountain dulcimer This book contains two versions of every tune. For the major tunes, each is presented in D-A-D and D-G-D tuning. For the minor tunes, each is presented in D-A-C and in A-A-D (Low A on bass string). Chords are also provided for each tune and tuning with diagrams to help you jam along with friends. All tunes are written in standard music notation and dulcimer tablature. D-G-D tablature can also be played in D-A-A tuning. The A-A-D tunes do require an 8.5 fret, but the D-A-C versions do not.
