A collection of
blues, ragtime,
and crossover tunes for
the 4-course mountain
dulcimer equipped with a
6 fret. These
arrangements vary
in difficulty, but all
possess the universal
appeal of the unique
rhythms that define this
musical genre.
Selections include: Rocks
and Grave; Baker's
Dozen; Sweet Home
Chicago; Frankie and
Johnny; Careless Love;
Memphis Blues;
St. Louis Blues; Maple
Leaf Rag; The
Entertainer; and more.
Written in standard
notation and tablature
with many
pieces transcribed from
performances by
master blues guitarists.
This book contains much
more than the tunes
themselves; the author
shares years
of experience regarding
technique, embellishment
s, and tuning not
to mention lyrics and
generous
performance notes for
each tune.
