Mapping Chord shapes on the Fretboard to create interesting and accessible chord-melody arrangements from known melodies. (Intermediate to Advanced) For many of us, playing in the Chord-Melody style is the holy grail of dulcimer playing. We will decode some tunes so that we can more easily play them, and we’ll create our own arrangements of a tune by integrating a map of Chord Shapes on the Fretboard as our guide. |

Strumming Steadily and Changing Chords Smoothly. (Adv. Beginner) Using chord shapes that we already know, or that are easy to learn, we’ll use some chord progressions from tunes to keep our WHAT hand (fretting hand) interested, while we focus on the steady pulse of our WHEN hand (strumming) in order to improve and solidify our rhythms for playing. |

Arranging & Playing Popular Music on the Dulcimer. (Intermediate to Advanced) We’ll play selected Level 3, 4 & 5 tunes from my book, First 50 Songs to Play on Mountain Dulcimer. NO TABLATURE WILL BE DISTRIBUTED although there will be PDF handouts. Students will need to have their OWN COPY of the book which can be purchased through several on-line venues, or an autographed copy can be purchased here: bit.ly/First50Songs |

"Smile-inducing, toe-tapping, thought-provoking folkgrass" is how reviewers describe award-winning instrumentalist and songwriter Steve Eulberg's music.
