The Skip-Bo Jig
My wife and I recently had a friend over and we played Skip-Bo. Of course when it wasn't my turn I had a dulcimer in my lap (the 5-string variety this time), and this song popped out! They liked it so I wanted to share with you all. You can also learn it for yourself (on a regular 3-string, DAD dulcimer) from the tablature:

Wellerman (Sea Shanty) - Mountain Dulcimer Cover
Переглядів 77412 годин тому
I've been hearing this song for a while and it's really cool. Not sure why I didn't think to try it on the dulcimer sooner, but I'm glad I did now! It sounds great and is really fun to play. You can learn to play it yourself here: shop.grantolsondulcimer.com/b/gvFSR Also for fun, here's one of my favorite renditions of it: ua-cam.com/video/qP-7GNoDJ5c/v-deo.html Website: www.grantolsondulcimer....

DADad Mountain Dulcimer - For the Beauty of the Earth - Grant Olson
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 місяці тому
I recently explored "For the Beauty of the Earth" on my five string dulcimer and it works super well! It inspired me with some extra musical ideas and I improvised with those in the middle of this video. I'm really happy with how it turned out. By the way, I'm using one of my spool clamps (for making dulcimers) as a capo at the first fret. This puts the dulcimer in the key of E and gives it a n...
5 String Mountain Dulcimer!!!
Переглядів 6732 місяці тому
I recently built this dulcimer for myself (oak fretboard, plywood box) with a chromatic fretboard and tuned to DADAD: a bass and standard dulcimer put together! I've been exploring the possibilities and wanted to share what I've been working on so far. Let me know what you think! Also, you can order a dulcimer like this, or in a different tuning, from my store: shop.grantolsondulcimer.com/b/liM...
Danny Boy on Mountain Dulcimer
Переглядів 3373 місяці тому
I've been playing this song for a while now and it's one of my favorites. I'm playing it here on my Blue Lion dulcimer, tuned to AEAE and capoed at the 4th fret. It has a really nice tone and though this video is a bit longer, I hope you'll listen to it because I came up with some nice variations.

Norwegian Wood on the Mountain Dulcimer!
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 місяці тому
This is a popular song on the mountain dulcimer: it's well known and fits the dulcimer style so well! Many great dulcimer players have posted versions on UA-cam before (I especially liked Jeff Hames' version) but I thought I'd throw my own take in as well. I'm playing in AEAE tuning with the capo at the 1 fret, putting me in the key of C. The high G string adds a nice drone, unique from standar...

Dulcimer Rehab #3 - Last Week with the Splint!
super cool! what's the tuning on that thing?
It's D2 A2 D3 A3 D4; like a standard and bass dulcimer combined.
Nice!
Excellent job!
A 6 string dulcimer? Tuned like a guitar?
It does have six tuners but for this song I just had 4 strings, tuned to AEAE.
@@GOdulcimer oh ok! I had just never seen a 6 string dulcimer before. And it appears to be chromatic too which made me wonder if it’s tuned like a guitar. You play it beautifully! I love that song!
Thank you! I think a few people have played 6 string equidistant, but this dulcimer was made for a 3 double string set up.
WOW. That’s AMAZING. 😊
Nice! I play a little different arrangement on my dulcimer, too. Sometimes I segue into the Gilligan's Island theme ... 😆
I play the dulcimer, This is not a dulcimer. This is a guitar neck on a dulcimer body. So, don't buy a real diatonic Dulcimer and expect to play this.
😮😮😮
Better hammers than I hear on guitars!! This redition started slow but when it came out of the intro did NOT disappoint!!!
It's time for whalin' me lads
This is awesome. Like the video and the song. Good job keep it up. This is great.
Very nice! Sounds like a tavern cover
Due to popular request I've made the tablature for this arrangement available on my store! You can check it out here: shop.grantolsondulcimer.com/b/gvFSR
Man, I really love the sound of your instrument!
That's really nice on the dulcimer!
Thanks so much for sharing. I just received a Sea Shanties tunes book for my harp. Now I know how it sounds it makes it easier for me to learn.
Cool... Of course, now I have this sudden urge that makes one want to toast with a mug in a pub😂! Nicely played
well done
Just remarkable. A PRO performance.
Absolutely stupendous!!!
Really nice dynamic playing at the beginning with both your pacing and volume control... and nice finish! I would love to listen to a whole instrumental album with this.
I do have an album out! It doesn't have this song unfortunately but does have lots of other great songs. shop.grantolsondulcimer.com/collection/recordings
Beautiful! Every note was perfect and you made it look so easy. Bravo!
Wow, sounds superb!!
Beautiful!
Every now and then something like this pops up in my recommended videos. Why did it take 4 years?
Great question! A few years ago, I actually went on a little bender of watching dulcimer arrangements of popular or classic tunes, this never came up. And I also seek out versions of Classical Gas, so the algorithm is failing somewhere.
Grant nice arrangement! Have Happy Holidays, Doug
👏👏👏What's next - "Dueling Dulcimers " ? 😉
I just started to learn playing and seeing this was amazing ! Great job
❤
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Sir, you have put excitement and hope back into my life. I am 68 years old and have lost my ability to play my music on guitar. I am currently buying a dulcimer with the hope of being able play and create again music again. bless you,
Where could one purchase this model?
You can find it here: banjo-mer.com/store/
@ awesome thank you.
Wow!! I never expected to hear classical gas on a dulcimer. I didn't think it was possible. That was awesome!
Beautiful
Very nice I like that
Amazing!
Erin identified the first tune which is American. The second tune is Connachtman's Rambles (pronounced "connaman's". The "cht" is silent. You're playing a slight variation from the standard version, but it's normally a "D" tune (though it sounds nice in "G" as well).
Beautiful. Thank you.
Wonderful!
terrific.
A Stick MaxDAD
That is a Great Sound from a Dulcemer!
I just subscribed earlier. We need more Dulcimers in the world!
yea we do!
I subscribe.
Fantastic!!
DM me if this dulcimer is still for sale.
I build and sell ones just like it! If you contact me through my store I do respond quickly, try checking your spam folder.
#2 is definitely a jig and sounds familiar, but I don't know its title off the top of my head.
#1 The Old Yellow Dog Went Trotting Through the Meeting House (a derivative of The Old Grey Mare She Ain't What She Used to Be)
#2 I don't know, buy i love that one too!
Second tune: A part is Connaught Man's Rambles
Love the stop effect, great playing
Great idea for a series👍🏼
#1 I don't know, but I loved it!
