I Wanna Be Sedated with a Dulcimer (stereo version)

- Punk dulcimer. Cover of the Ramones classic, "I Wanna Be Sedated," played on electric dulcimer by Sam Edelston.
Dulcimers are natural rock instruments. In fact, I even say that dulcimers are among the world's coolest musical instruments, and they deserve to be known by the general public - the way that everybody knows guitars and ukuleles. Though usually associated with old folk songs and tunes, dulcimers are great for a shocking variety of modern music, too. I do these videos to inspire more people to play and listen to dulcimer music, in diverse, non-traditional styles.
My initial post of this song had audio in only one channel. This version has sound in both channels, and I've also boosted the volume a little.

Song written by Dee Dee Ramone, Joey Ramone, and Johnny Ramone.
Technical details: Black Wolf electric chromatic 3-string dulcimer built by Rod Matheson, tuned DAD, capoed up a full step and played in E, which is the key of the original recording, and modulating to F#. (The song could be played in D without any special frets, but then you couldn't do the cool modulation.) Two channels of output, Channel A has an octave pedal, overdrive, and chorus, plus a Cry Baby toward the end. Channel B has a separate octave pedal, Mellotron emulator, auto-wah, phase shifter, and compressor/sustainer.
I'm not quite sure how I've ended up with this in my recommendations, but this might be one of the coolest things I've ever seen
Thanks, Jake -- Welcome to dulcimers! 😀
This is very cool I've never heard one of my favorite Ramones songs played on a dulcimer before. Love it, you have a great skill with that musical instrument.
Thanks! Dulcimers surface in the rock or pop world once in a while -- through players like Brian Jones (Lady Jane), Joni Mitchell, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Hornsby, and even Jimmy Page. Personally, though, I think they're so well suited to rock that they should be commonplace and mainstream. I believe it's just a matter of time.

And may we all have 20/20 vision in the new year. 😀
I was not expecting that sound
Dulcimers can be very surprising instruments. That's one reason I love them. 😀
I love the Ramones, and dulcimer, so this was amazing!!!!
Well ... thanks, thanks, and thanks!!! And happy New Year! 😀
@@ContemporaryDulcimer You too!
2020 24 hours to go....
Somewhere in that land between "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "I Could Have Danced All Night." Happy almost-New Year! 😀
I love how it says “STEREO VERSION” like I’m gonna say “Screw this! I ain’t clicking on it if it’s in MONO!!”👍
@BeesWaxMinder - I'm glad you asked that question. I recorded this song with two tracks, but then when I released it last November, it immediately went viral and apparently caught mono. This version fixed that problem. 😀

Well these are virulent times and I’m glad it recovered after catching mono (I blame Phil Spector!) but either way Great Work!!👍
I clicked on it & it was LED Zeppelin? I was thinking wtf? Then I found the link for the RAMONES. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing & keep Rocking! I wonder how RANCID would sound? Lol.
Yup. Someone pasted a wrong link into their article. Life is funny sometimes. Thanks for persevering! 😀
Listening to some Rancid songs just now, I can see some possibilities. I've got a number of other songs on the to-do list at the moment. Yes, more videos will be coming! 🎵🎵
i've been listening to the non-stereo version of this for years! thanks for uploading a stereo version. your arrangement of this song really brings out something special!
Thanks for loving it! I swear, I recorded the song in stereo, but when it went viral it got mono. So I reposted this version.
Gabba Gabba Hey!👍🏻👍🏻
We accept you, one of us! 😀
Absolutely masterful! You got some sick skills going on there. Time to binge your channel!
@Bennie Saying Things -- Thanks! 😀 Most people either aren't familiar with dulcimers or underestimate what they can do. The possibilities are incredible.
I started learning dulcimer a few months ago and am SO ENAMORED AND IMPRESSED. Just ridiculously, beyond fantastic. Keep on being creative and inspiring!
@elipandaman Thanks! The most important thing for a new player to know about dulcimers is that, even though most people play folk tunes on them, they can play almost any kind of music.
Learn all of the chords on your instrument. Find music that _you_ love, and try it. You'll be surprised at some of the things that will start to come out of it.
This is so cool. Keep doing what your doing man!
Thanks, David! I've got a lot more still to come. 😀
i saw the Ramones on new years eve once. great show. happy new year. MUCH RESPECT
Ramones Forever Forever Ramones
Thank you, @TREE HUGGAH. That must have been the most energetic New Year's Eve ever! 😀

You do know that this brings up expectations of Pet Cemetery with a Dulcimer, right?
I've got a few fun projects in the works. 😀

Thanks, MJP. As of now, 2020 7.6 hours to go. 😉 Happy New Year!
Thanks to you, I've discovered another great song to add to my song playlist, and another channel to subscribe to! :)
Thank you for loving it, Evan! I've got plenty more fun songs coming. 😀
@@ContemporaryDulcimer I can hardly wait! 😀
I was wondering: when playing a chromatic dulcimer, are you still able to use the drone strings as drone strings? Assuming you play modally of course.
Great question. Liam. The short answer is, yes, you absolutely can play melody-and-drones. And you can even capo it into any key, so you can play in "D" while everyone else is playing in real E, as in the example of this song.
In general, you can do almost anything on a chromatic that you can on a diatonic -- though certain long reaches become impossible (because of a half-step fret getting in the way), and certain things (like harmony in parallel thirds or sixths) will require more thought.
ContemporaryDulcimer great! Thank you for your help.
Another option is a semi-chromatic dulcimer. I like dulcimers that have the following combination of "extra" frets: 0+. 1+, 6"+, 8+, 13+. (I don't get a 7+.) It gives me more keys and more chords, but yet is simple enough to play without thinking.
Who still watching this in 2020???
