Mountain Dulcimer - Two Crooked Fiddle Tunes
Crooked tunes drive dancers crazy, because those off-kilter bars of beats throw them off their groove. But they are great fun to play. In this workshop, we'll tackle two crooked fiddle tunes; tunes in 4/4 time that feature strange little extra measures of 2/4 thrown in. They're highly addictive and usually have killer riffs that make for lots of fun jamming, once everyone gets the hang of it. We'll engage ear-training through learning the tunes by hearing and imitating at first. Then, we'll look at the music and see what makes each tune crooked and why. (Intermediate)
11:30am-12:15pm
The Technicolor Mountain Dulcimer
Melody meets harmony and drone becoming chords of color. There's more than just notes on the fretboard; there are emotions. Subtleties and grey zones, bright splashes of chords and dim shadows of earth tones. Know the terrain of your mountain dulcimer as you explore through scales and chord shapes, the use of different tunings and extra frets to bring out the colors. You'll need a capo for this part of the camp. (all skill levels)
