Fingerpicking Dulcimer by Janita Baker. For Dulcimer (Mountain). Methods. Acoustic Music. Beginning-Intermediate. Book/CD Set. 88 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.99537BCD).

ISBN 9780786663736. Acoustic Music. 8.75" x 11.75" inches.

A collection of 21 songs arranged in a fingerpicking style for the mountain dulcimer, this book offers a wide variety of musical genres and playing levels. Divided equally between arrangements for three and four equidistant strings, the songs progress in difficulty within each section from beginner to advanced level. Each piece is written in both standard music notation and dulcimer tablature, and is accompanied by performance tips for playing that song. Many arrangements utilize the 6 1/2 fret, and tunings range from standard modal tunings to four-string variations. The arrangements cover a wide range of song styles including traditional ragtime, blues, and classical standards. Songs include My Old Kentucky Home; Londonderry Air, All Through the Night, The Entertainer, Careless Love, House of the Rising Sun, Fur Elise, and Bach's Minuet in G. There is an extensive introduction on playing techniques for both left and right hands, tunings, reading tablature, and dulcimer embellishments. The accompanying CD is an instrumental recording of solo dulcimer, designed to give the student a note-for-note reference to each written arrangement while providing a performance-quality listening experience.

      Great fun

      I enjoyed playing this music, I found it interesting and fun. I am an amateur player and found the difficulty level just right to keep my interest.

      Fantastic CD

      Dulcimer never sounded better. The CD is the best I have heard on the dulcimer. I want to play like this. It is a challenge but worth it.

      Absolutely Beautiful Arrangements!

      Juanita's fingerpicking book is outstanding! Her arrangements are beautiful. Some of the pieces I would say are early intermediate but the tunes written for 4 strings are definately advanced. But they are worth aspiring to!! Nice work Juanita!!
