Aubrey Atwater: "Playing with the Noter in Aeolian" (Thursday, Session 8, Mountain Dulcimer, Advanced Beginner)
Let's look at this marvelous tradition of fretting the melody string with a small wooden stick and play in a historical style Jean Ritchie and other source musicians used with melody and drones and a variety of tunings. We'll tune to D-A-C and address: tunings and modes, noter technique, strumming, singing, and using the dulcimer as a harmony voice. Songs covered: "Old Betty Larkin", "Nine Hundred Miles", and "Dabbling in the Dew".
