In our first LiveStream learning session, Steve covered capos and key changing for chromatic instruments (guitar) and diatonic instruments (mountain dulcimer) in this 60 minute session. (Click on the video above to watch for a refresher, if you weren’t able to be present live.)
In response to the question of a DulcimerCrossing member about capos when used on guitars…we will have a conversation go better understand how this tool changes things on our instruments, and how we can communicate with guitar players and others when we are playing together.
National Hammered Dulcimer Champion and DulcimerCrossing instructor, Matthew Dickerson, will share his knowledge and experience in our March Leap Forward in Your Musical Understanding Live Event for Premium Members today.
Following our first two Live Music Theory classes for Premium Members of DulcimerCrossing.com, Erin Mae and I have a new Quiz, this time comparing the Ionian and Dorian Modes.
