Wonderful! I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it! Plenty of videos here to learn with, and check the website for some helpful downloads (shameless plug, I know, but I had to, right?) ;-)
Yup, gotta give credit to the guy who spent over 3 years and 30 verses to work it out. Great Malcolm gladwell “revisionist history” podcast in season 1 about it
I appreciate that! I really do. If you haven't checked out the free resources on the site, please do so. I'm sure some will help! (and the email list will alert you too ;)
I think that the very best version of the song is by Leonard Cohen but most Canadians recognize the quintessential version as the one done by K. D. Lang.
Really? Where does Buckley stack up on the Canadian list then? Without Buckley the song would probably be unknown. If you like podcasts I recommend Malcolm Gladwl’s revisionist history, season 1 “hallelujah”… it’s fascinating (and Malcolm is Canadian 😉)
@@HeyInglewood in Canada, the most well known versions of those songs would be Lang, John Cale (Shrek), Rufus Wainwright, then Buckley. Or Buckley then Wainwright, depending on geography. I love that you do the song for the Merlin. You make it accessible for the beginner ((which I am) And thanks for the podcast recommendation!!
@@torontocitizen6802 wow. I don't know a single person who'd order things that way. Most wouldn't be able to name John Cale either. Just the difference of a country, I guess, but not what I'd have expected at all.
Oh.... no, i don't think you're nuts, I think you're the sane one. I can't believe it, but I recorded this in ~D#... LOL ON ME!! I don't know if I should remake it or not... eesh. LOTS of work in what looks like a simple video. Anyway, I was messing with string tension (see: video coming out in the next few weeks), and forgot to switch it back, and now I have a complete mess. Sigh... I'm about to put up a chord sheet for this one on the website... would that help, do you think? I also made a note on the video description. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP (and for the encouragement on the correctly tuned videos ;)
I play it on a full-sized mountain dulcimer. Instead of the F# barr chord, I play an F#7 on 2 2 1. It sounds nice.
Oh that is a very very nice change!
I’m jealous that I didn’t think of it!! 😂
Well done!
Thank you for everything! I just picked up a strumstick in D second hand.

I appreciate you giving a nod to Leonard in your intro. The song is so often attributed to Buckley. Understandably though.

So you're going think I'm nuts, but your other DAD posts sound right. This one sounds off-key. I enjoyed it. I just can't play along with you. Cheers.

So should we put our dulcimer in d# tuning? Can you remake it in regular tuning?
when your doing the one finger version do you strum all the strings or just one?
All of them!! Should sound great!
@@ryanpryor2058 thanks!
That's the way the larger dulcimer used to be played. One note melody and letting the two drones ring out.
Skip to about 2:13 to skip all the talkig
But the talking is so warm and soothing, right? 😉
Talking* lol…
