This is such a beautiful peaceful song.

[@crystalclearwindowcleaning3458]

That's a perfect song for the dulcimer. Thanks for sharing.

A lovely tune but I didn't expect to sound so good on dulcimer. Thank you for posting.

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Thanks for listening

Magnificent! Beautiful performance!

Thank you!

Makes me want to get out the hand crafted dulcimer that we bought back in 1965 on a trip to Gatlinburg.

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

That sounds like a special instrument!

[@mtlicq]

I am pleasantly impressed by this performance and recording of it. Perfect tempo, Awesome !

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Thank you very much!

[@Photobyhart]

Very nice

[@marypolk9820]

Thank you for posting. I think that is the loveliest played song i have ever heard. I just got a dulcimer and hope to one day play this song.

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Thank you. I felt the same way when I first heard it on the Dulcimer. Keep practicing and you will have it down in no time :-)

[@caseylee12]

My favorite teacher sang that at my high school graduation. Brings back lots of memories--- beautiful job!

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

You’re amazing…old English hymn made cool by Cat Stevens. Makes me want to get my dulcimer off the wall. Your playing is so beautiful!!! Thank you!

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Thank you Fred! If it inspires you to get that dulcimer down, well that just made my day :-)

So beautiful! I love that hymn. What tuning did you use? I have a mountain dulcimer and would like to try it.

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Thank you… I used DAD tuning for this one.

[@Don-of8hm]

Good job.

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Thanks!

[@coolykid443]

so I got one of these years ago and ive been wanting to learn how to play it since, however i also don't know how to read music, and the few people who were gonna teach me never got around to helping me learn, do you have any suggestions?

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

I have great news for you :-) I don’t know how to read music either! I started by learning from Brett Ridgeway who has great lessons right here on KZbin. If you work your way through his first 12 lessons you will have the foundation you need to play all kinds of songs. Here is a link kzbin.info/aero/PL-sgANzdpUYmhAnf9TVyHXCRaKAsJoawy&feature=shared

[@stevenmellott574]

Very well done! What tab did you use? Thanks.

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Thank you! I didn’t use a tab, learned that one by watching and following the lead of others on KZbin.

[@marymcandrew7667]

This is so beautiful! I'm learning dulcimer, I think it'll take me a long time to learn how to do individual notes on strings. I have a good ear, is it just picking and memorizing what fret and string will do what?

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Hello! I’m actually planning on doing a lesson series on this very song. Someone else asked about learning it as well. If you are just learning to play across the strings, I recommend working through the 12 lesson series by Brett Ridgeway. It helps you get the basics. Then after that, yes for me it is a matter of Picking and memorizing :-)

[@marymcandrew7667]

@@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603 Thank you for the recommendation, I've found his playlist and can't wait to start! I would love to follow your lessons on this song too!

[@sararamonajohansson]

​@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603 Oh please do, I'd love to learn this, it's just divine.

[@mariedjaoudi3307]

Bonjour... auriez-vous la tablature de ce canon de Pachelbel s'il vous plaît ?

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Unfortunately I do not have tablature for this song. I picked it out by ear.

[@mariedjaoudi3307]

C'est très gentil de m'avoir répondu.. bonne continuation. Merci beaucoup

[@bill1021b]

Are u a member of any dulcimer communities

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

No not presently and have not been in the past

[@doneyler1748]

Where do you get your arrangements?

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

Most of these I learned by watching others on KZbin or picking out by ear. Some of them I learned from Tabs from Steven Seifert's online classes. If there is one in particular you want to learn, I might be able to create a lesson on it so just let me know.

[@doneyler1748]

@@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603 Interested in “Morning Has Broken”. Thanks so much for the offer. Did you subscribe to the Steven Seifert’s lessons?

[@adamclark-mountaindulcimer603]

@@doneyler1748 yes I did for a few months. Learned a lot.
