A Dulcimer For Christmas: Traditional Christmas Tunes For Mountain Dulcimer In D-A-D Tuning

A Dulcimer for Christmas is a great way to share the joy of the Christmas season on your mountain dulcimer! This book contains two versions of every tune. For the major tunes, each is presented in D-A-D and D-G-D tuning. For the minor tunes, each is presented in D-A-C and in A-A-D (Low A on bass string). Chords are also provided for each tune and tuning with diagrams to help you jam along with friends. All tunes are written in standard music notation and dulcimer tablature. D-G-D tablature can also be played in D-A-A tuning. The A-A-D tunes do require an 8.5 fret, but the D-A-C versions do not. A 1.5 fret is required for both versions of Wexford Carol due to the original melody. All songs are written with indicated repeats so you can play for as long or as short as you would like. Tunes in this book were written for an intermediate playing level but folks of all abilities can find something in here to enjoy!
