Wow, most beautiful dulcimer i have heard❤❤❤❤❤
You play that instrument well young lady. Man, that was beautiful. And so relaxing.👍
This is so gorgeous. I can’t wait to get better at the dulcimer; you make it look effortless.
Eventually, the mountain dulcimer becomes an extension of oneself... The music that feels natural to one's soul emerges spontaneously! I am pleased that you have met the mountain dulcimer; enjoy the process of getting to know it ever better, and thank you so much for your kind words! :-)
Been playing dulcimer on and off for about 45 years. No teachers, not much in the way of recordings to point in any direction. Loving these videos. They showcase some of the techniques that I worked out for myself, point the way to new ones I can learn.
I am glad to hear that my videos have been helpful and have inspired you on your dulcimer journey, Andrew! You might enjoy some of the material at my website as well: www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com Please let me know if you have any questions!
@@JessicaComeauDulcimer This is so great!
My new favorite dulcimer song and player. What a lovely peaceful girl and a lovely peaceful setting
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing ;) Best wishes from Pensacola, FL
Thank you so much, and thanks for listening! :-)
A beautiful piece beautifully played. Two days ago I had never heard of a mountain dulcimer until I saw one for sale. I searched youtube and found you. The sound of your relaxed playing persuaded me to give it a try, so I now own that dulcimer. I would love to learn this piece. Do you have a tab or lesson available? I would greatly appreciate it.
I have both! :-) These pages on my website will guide you to them: www.jessicacomeaudulcimer.com/lessons-and-tablature.html

That tune is lovely, as lovely as anyone will ever hear. Thank you! ♥
Yep. Couldn't have said it better. TY.
I play a ceder creek walnut special. I've only played about 3 months and it has really helped with some personal issues i developed after the war in Iraq. Thank you for your music and for the claiming effect it has on me. I can see your heart in it and I think it's gorgeous. Thank you once again.
Oh the summer time is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Would you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Would you go, lassie, go?
And I will build my love a bower
And yon pure crystal fountain
And around it I will place
All the colors of the mountain
Would you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Would you go, lassie, go?
And If my true love's gone
I will surely find another
And to her I will sing
Things that make her know I want her
Would you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around blooming heather
Would you go, lassie, go?
Your video has been a great consolation now, with everyone eagerly looking for a vaccine that was desperately needed at this time and wishing the Corona Virus 19 to end completely. I hope that the Corona Virus 19 will disappear as soon as possible, and at the same time, I sincerely hope that your channel will grow well day after day and become a successful channel.코로나19 빠른 극복을 기원합니다. 세상모두가 힘든이시기에 간절히 바라는 백신이 개발되어 코로나 바이러스19가 완전 끝나기를 바라는지금 님 영상 감상이 나에게 위로가되어 감사드립니다. 코로나 바이러스19가 하루빨리 사라지기를 바라면서 동시에 님 채널이 하루하루 잘 성장되셔서 꼭 성공한채널이 되시기를 진심으로 기원합니다.
My sincere thanks to you, DS Kim! I am glad if my music is able to bring peace in these times... :-)
Very pretty, Jessica. Thank you.
Jessica. Thanks for this. I have been away from West Virginia for too long and you took me back to precious memories of sitting at Granny's feet listening to the most heartwarming music a young boy could ever hear. I play several instruments with my bluegrass/gospel band but this took me home. Without any doubt my next project in the woodshop will be a dulcimer. Thanks again.
What a wonderful story, Kenneth... I am pleased that my music was able to revive special memories for you. Enjoy the journey of creating a dulcimer of your own and perhaps some music on it later! :-)
I hear dulcimers all the time....I must say this performance is just top notch. Sweet....well harmonzied....love the suspensions and the major 7th chords......the whole thing.....super.....thanks!
Thank you for your thoughtful reply, James, and thank you for listening! :-)
The standard cigar box guitar is tuned in a open chord, like GDG, so these same songs should be playable them. I’ve done a few, but with nowhere near the artistry that Jessica displays.
Thank you for sharing and for providing a lovely moment of peace and joy that comes timely for me. Heartwarming!
That's what this song is for, Phillip... :-) Thank you! I often play this song at church because it is the same melody used in a setting of Mary's prayer, the Magnificat, from the Gospel of Luke; it's a very comforting pairing altogether, even if it is just played instrumentally!
I just love the way you play. you make it look so effortless. Just beautiful !
Thank you, Nila! Playing does take some attention, but it does become more natural with practice. :-) Thanks again for following my music!
Brought me to tears! So so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
...and I thought the High Kings did this song justice...and then I hear this and discovered I was mistaken.
I gotta cheap Wal Mart dulcimer I swear I just can't learn or it's a cheap devil but my gawd this lady is dulcimer done exquisitely
Ms. Jessica. Thank you so very much for this music, so beautifully played. I won’t go into why but you have made me smiled and cried at the same time and I am grateful for it. I have this video playing over and over all morning.
Bless you! I’m glad this song has a place in your heart as it does in mine! Very nostalgic... Thank you. :-)
Jessica, you play this so beautifully! Thanks for the peaceful moments.
Thank you, Terrel! You are most welcome. :-) Thank you for stopping by!
Very beautiful
That just made cry... thank you for playing- that was beautiful
Bless you, Edward! You are most welcome. :-)
I enjoyed your video. Very pretty tune. I’ve just started playing in January and I could only hope to be as good. At this point I’d settle for someone to recognize any song I might play 😉
Your music will grow as you get to know your instrument better, Carol! Thank you so much for listening... Maybe some of the resources on my website might be helpful: www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com. Please let me know if you have any questions as you continue to explore! :-)
A really nice rendition of this Scottish piece, and on a dulcimer to boot. Your playing is - well, it lets me fly away in my own heart and mind... Thank you!
Thank you so much, Ronald. This song is meant to transport the listener to a place and space in imagination, so I am pleased to hear that it does so for you. :-)
You made one of my favourite-songs even better! Beautiful!
Thank you so much, Tomas! :-)
OMG. That was beautiful to hear. Thanks for the calming music
You are welcome, Cody! :-) This is a song I love to play, and I was glad to share it with you!
OK. That cuts it. I have to learn flat picking on the lap/mountain dulcimer. I know this is 7 years old now, but thank you Jessica Comeau. This was lovely....and inspiring.
Thank you! I’m glad if you were able to find some inspiration! If you’d like to learn more about playing the mountain dulcimer, I have more info at my website: www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com
thank you for the few minutes of peace snd tranquility i fall into when i lisen to you play
May you carry that peace with you and recall it whenever you need it, Mark! Thank you for listening. :-)
Pardon me, but why would anyone down-vote this beautiful, unpretentious version of a classic song? It brought tears to my eyes and made me want to learn mountain dulcimer. Thank you!
Well, this video has had a lot of views, and it’s not possible to please everyone. I know, though, that a song will eventually reach the people who were meant to hear it and who would understand and enjoy it. I am glad that you are one of those people! :-) Thank you so much, and do enjoy getting to know the dulcimer better!
Lovely playing ....( lovely gal too )
One of my favorite tunes, this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
You are most welcome! Thank you for listening! :-)
I love the C tuning. It has a deeper, gentler sound to my ear than the D tuning I’ve always used. Great arrangement.
Yes, I am very fond of the warmth of C-G-C tuning as well! Thank you for stopping by to listen. :-)
I’m playing guitar and use the CG trick a lot , is this tune in CGC ?
I’m hearing C and G 😊
Hey Jessica.I just became acquainted your wonderful style and choice of music. Truly remarkable. Congrats!! I downloaded the sheet music of "Wild Mountain Thyme" from your web site, but notice that you seem to add some higher chords on the you tube video than what appear on the download. Am I missing something? Thanks, Tony
Thank you so much, Anthony, for following my music! I am glad you are enjoying your discoveries. You are correct that the arrangement at my website is not a full transcription of what I played in my video; I included the melody and accompaniment for the first verse but not my original variations. :-) Perhaps you might enjoy developing your own variations as inspired! Thanks again for listening! :-)
I love coming back to this. What a wonderful job!
Wonderful Thankyou ❤
Hi again, Jessica. I play this with a Celtic group on bowed psaltery. We play it quite fast, but I love your meditative version. I didn't know about the Magnificat connection, and now I can't wait to take your lead and play it at church, peacefully and quietly joyful.
Blessings, Sharon! Playing this song at church has brought me much joy, and I would be glad if playing it in a church setting would bring the same for you! :-) Merry Christmas!
This was the song that inspired my love of folk music years ago. Brings a tear to the eye to hear it played so beautifully.
Thank you, MosquitoHunter! May music always follow you to uplift you and remind you of who you are. :-)
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent. You play so gracefully and make it look so easy.
You are so kind, Dawn Marie! Thank YOU for listening and following my music. :-)
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. Really makes me want to have a go at it on guitar
Beautiful, perfect harmonies. Music flows so easily !!!
How lovely of you to say so, Erimian! Thank you! Have you heard any of the clips from my newest album yet? ua-cam.com/video/XZjIDIDdmHw/v-deo.html
I haven't played my dulcimer in a very long time - wow - nicely done. I am getting a harp so will learn on harp. :) I think dulcimer playing is a bit harder for me than harp.
Harp is indeed lovely! However, mountain dulcimer could in fact be a little easier since you have only 3 strings to worry about! :-)
Does anyone out there know what the name of this beautiful song is?
It's "Wild Mountain Thyme" or "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?" :-)
@@JessicaComeauDulcimer Thank you. You play it very lovely !!
Favorite folk song, beautiful on mountain dulcimer , great job
Thank you so much! "Wild Mountain Thyme" is a favorite for me, too... :-)
Great arrangement, I have recently acquired a dulcimer and need to put in some time to learning how to play it. Thanks for posting your music, its really helpful to "see how its done"!. Mike ( in the UK).
Thank YOU, Mike, for listening! :-) If you would like to learn more about playing the mountain dulcimer perhaps you might enjoy my short video series "How to Play the Mountain Dulcimer" which is also here on my UA-cam channel: ua-cam.com/video/IfcFQ5dMWuM/v-deo.html
What wonderful skill! So technically accurate and nuanced. Great work. Seriously. I love this song.
That's very kind, Travis! Thank you! I love it, too...
Your videos are great, keep it up... you are so fresh, just like a spring rain
Thank you for listening, rlr1173! :-)

Do you sell dulcimer music - for future reference? I had a bunch of dulcimer music and it got lost moving around.
Yes! You can see it all at my website: www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com
Beautiful music, as engaging as your smile in the end!
Thank you, Mauricio, and I appreciate your taking the time to listen... :-)
This has been one of my favorite tunes since I heard Joan Baez sing it. Your playing is as sensitive and graceful as Joan's and your effortless technique is a joy to watch. Another beautiful video. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Dimestore! :-) It continues to inspire my playing when I hear that my music brings joy to someone...
That is absolutely beautiful, Jessica. I know the tune better as Will Ye Go Lassie Go, but the name's not important as it's a beautiful air.
I play ukulele and banjo and I've been toying with the idea of getting a mountain dulcimer for a while. I couldn't imagine playing the way you do, but would it be difficult for a beginner to get a decent tune out of it?
Most of my tunes are from the oldtime banjo repertoire and folksongs from my area, so I'd not be doing anything over complicated.
Thank you so much, Eoin! The mountain dulcimer is one of the friendliest instruments in existence for beginners! Especially because you already have musical background, you will find that the dulcimer is rewarding to play right away and can produce beautiful songs even when you use some of the simplest techniques.Perhaps you might like to take at look at my videos on "How to Play the Mountain Dulcimer" to help you prepare: www.jessicacomeaudulcimer.com/lessons-and-tablature.html
@@JessicaComeauDulcimer Thanks, Jessica. I'll check out the links and I'll let you know how I get on.
Really beautiful and sensitive !!! Looked everywhere, literally, to get a chromatic, teardrop dulcimer though nowhere to be found, at least in my price range. Thank you for the fabulous music, A Season's Greetings & A Wondrous New Year !!!
Où as-tu apprise à jouer cet instrument ainsi?...fabuleux!!...
Thank you so much! I've learned from several excellent mountain dulcimer instructions but have developed a style of my own based on the music that I love best... I appreciate your taking the time to listen. :-)
You were born to do this! So rich!! Are you coming to the New Harmony Festival.
Thank you! I came to the New Harmony Festival last year! It was such a beautiful town and a special experience. :-)
alllll aroun' the bloomin heathherrrr
Just finished learning it! Thanks so much for sharing your music!
You're welcome, Marty! Thank you for listening. :-)
That’s a beautiful arrangement Jessica, I play that on pedal steel and have just just purchased a mountain. Dulcimer so once I find my way around this beautiful instrument that tune will be my first one I hope I can learn to play.
Best wishes from the UK.
This song is about an old Scottish custom.
Guitarist researching mountain dulcimer here. This looks incredibly difficult.
I have heard people say that they found the mountain dulcimer to be much easier to catch on to than guitar, actually! It’s sound is immediately rewarding because of its open tuning. You can move along the melody string and have a consistent drone in the background. Eventually, layering the melody with chords can be fairly simple if you attend carefully to your fingering, making sure you leave enough fingers free to take the melody while you are still holding the chord positions. :-) Give it a try, if you like!
Could you post a link to where I can purchase the tabs for this. I can't see it on your website.
Alas, my tablature for this song is not available for sale at this time, but I do have many other Celtic selections and intend to release a full collection of Celtic tablature soon! :-) You can explore my current material at www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com/products.html
Once again, lovely Jessica… Can you give those flowers a bit of water if you get a minute :D
nicely done that was super .
Very nice. Do you ever use an acoustic transducer to amplify the dulcimer?
Thank you, tossedpenny. I have used acoustic transducers some in the past, but I tend to prefer using a microphone these days to amplify my instruments. Microphones seem to pick up more of the natural frequencies of the mountain dulcimer's sound than the little transducers or pickups do. :-)
Ohhhh leave'r Johnny leave'r (x2)
For the sun has gone and its time for us to go so leave'r johnny leave'r
I had no idea a dulcimer could be played like this. Really a great arrangement! There's a passing Major 7th, I think it is, every once in a while that's really super tasteful.
Beautiful
Thank you so much, Venita! :-)
Just lovely Jessica. Do you play with 3 strings? Cynthia
Thank you so much, Cynthia! Yes, I do!
You wouldn't happen to be a fan of the clancy brothers would you?
Yes, I have enjoyed what I have heard of their music though I still have much yet to explore. :-)
Wow ♡♡♡
Lovely, we’ll played ❤
This song is so peaceful.Played by a very fine player of the dulcimer.they seem to be as one when she plays
Thank you, Mark! Peace be with you... :-)
you're quite the wonderful picker there! dulcimer is my first and favorite love in music and you play it wonderfully! :) thanks for the music.
You're most welcome, Mister Wolfe! Thank you, and thank you for following my music! :-)
Stephen
After watching your video, i was inspired to order a dulcimer and learn to play, do you by chance sell instructional dvd,s ? I love the way you play
What a wonderful new musical world you are about to discover with the mountain dulcimer! ;-) Thank you for your kind words, Rick. Yes, I do have instructional videos for mountain dulcimer music: a DVD that comes with my book and DVD set "Mountain Dulcimer Wildflowers" and a series of downloadable Celtic song workshops that provide measure-by-measure instruction for each song. You can learn more about these materials here: www.jessicacomeaudulcimer.com/products.html
thank you, I will be looking forward to learning from you soon :) Rick
Nice arrangement; this sweet song is perfect 4 the dulcimer,Jessica! It's one of MY faves. Happy New Year. 'o)
Same here, Skip... I have played this song often and happily without tiring of it at mass, concerts, and other special occasions. I'm glad that you enjoy it, too. A Happy New Year to you also! :-)
Lovely!
Not many others play as beautifully and relaxed. I play the harp at the bedside and if I could only play my dulcimer as you do- it too would be used as I play for those who are ill!
I have always thought that playing the mountain dulcimer as a part of music therapy would be comforting not only for the listener but, in a way, the musician as well! :-)
What a wonderful way to share your music. Playing for the dying in hospice care, for those very ill or critically injured, for those suffering mental anguish or emotional devastation, for the homeless, for groups or for just one lonely soul... there is no better or more beautiful way to share God's wonderful gift to all of mankind in music. God bless you, Cindy and Debby. And of course you too, Jessica, for so generously sharing your music with all of us.
Perfect
Hi, what a beautiful instrument, what tuning have the strings, may I ask?
Hello, Kenny! Thanks for stopping by! :-) "Wild Mountain Thyme" is being played here with my instrument tuned to C-G-C.
Still listening, Jessica!
Pretty tune and you play it so beautifully
This is the first time I heard this tune and now I can't get it out of my head. It is so lovely. Thank you so much!
this is really beautiful thank you
Riveting “‘
fantastic version of this song!
Hi Jessica thanks for the tune it was great ! I've made guitars and dulcimers too ! Who made your dulcimer and what price are they ?
I love this song, Tim... Thank you for visiting! I play McSpadden Dulcimers. Here is their website for more information: www.mcspaddendulcimers.com/
I saw that you had sent me another message, Tim, but I’m not sure where it went! In response to your question, I have always played in D-A-D or C-G-C without bridge compensation, and I am told that bridge compensation makes only a very slight difference when transitioning from D-A-A to D-A-D tuning. If you are purchasing a new instrument, you might want to consider ridge compensation, but it is not essential. :-)
Jessica Comeau thank you for your replay ! I don't think compensation is a problem on dulcimers too, mind you string height is very important and too much can make a big difference! Keep up the good work Jessica you're a pleasure to watch.
Funny. It took me falling in love the Clancy Brothers' versionas "Will ye go Lassie go" to make the obvious (in hindsight) connection with that music sheet that was lurking in my folder for so long.
Well, I'm glad you connected with this song at last! Thank you for listening and for seeking to make this song your own. Enjoy! :-)
Merci pour la douceur de ces melodies.
Beautiful Jessica. Wonderful phrasing :) Happy New Year!
Thanks so much, Ian! As with many of the songs I love, this melody simply tells me how it longs to be interpreted, whether when I am playing the melody or departing from it for the freedom of creating variations. :-) A Happy New Year to you as well!
Beautiful TOUCHED my heart.
lovely piece
Wow, I'm really amazed by your way of playing. Many thanks for sharing your music. Did you ever think of making tutorials how to play in your style? It sounds a bit like playing the harp, so smooth and soft.
You're welcome, Irish Bouzouki, and thank YOU! :-) I actually do have several skill tutorials and song tutorials included on the instructional DVD in my book and DVD set "Mountain Dulcimer Wildflowers." I also plan to begin releasing more tutorials very soon at my website: www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com
When I do, it will be announced on my Pensacola Mountain Dulcimer Wildflowers page on Facebook: facebook.com/wildflowersJessicaComeau
So beautiful, I had to play it again
Thank you for listening, Clint... “Wild Mountain Thyme” is a melody that has always been dear to me, and it was delight to interpret it for you. :-)
Very beautifully played!
You are very kind! Thank you for listening... :-)
Very Nice Thank you for playin and sharing
Thank you so much, Marty! :-) I appreciate your stopping by...
Very Beautiful! wow. pure loveliness.
Beautiful music. Lovely
Beautiful! I love this song and your playing is amazing!
Thank you so much, Dominique! So do I... ;-)
Very beautiful! I am wanting to learn, does anyone know a good model of dulcimer to buy?
I have some resources listed here on the FAQ page at my website: www.jessicacomeaudulcimer.com/faqs.html
Thank you so much, can’t wait to get started. Your videos have definitely motivated me!
Thank YOU, Mike! You are very kind... Please let me know if you have any more questions. :-)
