Bing Futch - Method For Beginning Mountain Dulcimer

Great book

I am just getting started with all of the information in this book. There are many songs in different tunings to help get acquainted with the entire fret board. The recordings are helpful also.

Bing Futch dulcimer method book

This seems like a good book to follow the Joyce Ochs book First Lessons in DAD. Has chapters on scales and shows several different tunings.

A thorough beginner's guide

Pleasantly surprised at the comprehensiveness of this beginner's book. Starts slow for us newbies and builds topic by topic - tunings, scales and easy first pieces evolve toward basic music theory, notation and more challenging exercises. You can listen online or download all of the music, a great help to those of us who want a sense of the music behind those notes. A very thorough and helpful guide to the dulcimer.
