Have you ever heard two of the "great" dulcimer players, performing on stage together? Ever notice that one of them generally plays a melody, while the other one plays "backup" parts?
They'll trade off, back and forth, melody and backup. It sounds a LOT better than having both of them playing melody all the time.
With this book, you'll learn (from legendary performer Aaron O'Rourke) how to play "backup". Chops, riffs, bass lines, following the lead player. He makes it sound easy.
You'll be able to use the same techniques when playing with a regular jam, too - nobody should be playing the melody 100 percent of the time, and with this book, you'll have the skills to play a GREAT backup part. Free downloadable audio tracks are available, which demonstrate the songs and techniques.
This amazing book includes free downloadable audio files that you can use to teach your ear how the tunes and exercises should sound. Here's a link to the page with the audio files.
This book is published by Folkcraft® Instruments, under the Fingers Of Steel® imprint.
