Free Lesson Mountain Dulcimer | Let’s Learn a Noter Song

[@dawndare3949]

Thank you. You are a natural teacher!😊

[@karlschulte9231]

Love the noter!!

[@-jank-willson]

cool technique! This seems like something you could only really do on regular dulcimers, as it looks like it would be hard to pull off on a dulcitar/strum stick

[@juliesaint-pierre7588]

i like your teaching

[@gabrielmoore6099]

I love your videos

[@lmallard3788]

I’d like to hear comparisons to dad tuning vs others you have spoken about-daa, dac

[@manuelarichter586]

What is at the right side on your dulcimer? I mean the ball that moves?☺

[@BanjoLemonade]

Hmm it shouldn’t be moving. But that was a pickup I used for a bit that the company sent to me to try out.

[@skippydoda7170]

What strumming pattern are you using? I have practiced the DDUUD but it seems to be lacking in comparison….

[@bill1021b]

Good one

[@BanjoLemonade]

Thanks

[@juliaredifer2904]

Popsicle stick works as well

[@BanjoLemonade]

oh haven’t tried that thanks for the tip!

[@karlschulte9231]

And you get to eat the popsicle!

[@jazzcatt]

Popsicle sticks are made of pine which is very soft. also the shape isn't all that great so it will splinter too fast and even catch on the strings. I plan on hitting the woods and finding a hardwood and cutting, stripping and drying my own.

[@lorriew8627]

Will give it a try... im more into the touch technique..😉☝️👆

[@BanjoLemonade]

Have fun!

[@lmallard3788]

Is a noter a dowel with grooves for the string? I bet a typical 1/4” or 3/8” birch dowel is less expensive and for many, more available

[@BanjoLemonade]

This doesn’t have grooves, is birch, and is $2.00 at the Folkcraft website.

[@karlschulte9231]

Mno grooves. Use you index finger knuckle. Along edge of fingerboard

[@kmiller9881]

What’s the name of the tune?

[@BanjoLemonade]

Shady Grove

[@karlschulte9231]

What are your strings tuned so i can match and play in tune?

[@BanjoLemonade]
