ブルーグラス好きでダルシマーを弾いてみたい人向け曲集

Reviewed in Japan on 5 May 2019

Verified Purchase

この本は、ダルシマーの入門者、初心者向けです。ダルシマーに慣れている方には物足りないでしょう。
また、教則本でもありません。少し説明がありますが、曲集です。他の入門用教則本で基本を学んでから、この本を使うと効果的だと思います。それで、星4つにしました。
曲は、リストをご覧になればお分かりのように、ブルーグラス好きにもお馴染みのアメリカの古い唄と少しブルーグラスの唄、フィドル曲も一応入っています。チューニングは、全てDADです。
多くは、ノーターでも指でも良いメロディ弦のみか、メロディ弦と真ん中の弦も使用、メロデイ弦と低音弦でハーモニーを取る奏法も少しあります。各曲にコード・ダイアグラムが出ているので、歌う時はコードが弾けます。
割合単純なメロディだけなので、ブルーグラスの込み入った音の取り方に慣れている方には物足りないかもしれませんが、最初はあまり欲張らずに、この辺りから始めてはいかがですか？
末尾に、ちょっとした説明とコード表、StrumとFinger　Pickingの基本的パターンが出ているので、自分なりにアレンジすることが可能です。
この本から、ダルシマーに慣れて、ご存じのフィドル曲やブルーグラスのインストの速弾きをするとか、メロディー＋ハーモニー奏法、Finger　Pickingなどにも挑戦してください。

Enjoying my latest Balinger book!

Reviewed in the United States on 5 April 2018

I already had Thomas' general and Christmas music dulcimer books and love them. I'm developing an interest in Bluegrass music and am equally delighted with this book. The only critique I would give is that as I'm exposing myself to new, unfamiliar tunes, it would have been greatly helpful to be given tempo advice at the top of each song.

Thank you for the DAD Mountain Dulcimer (Books)

Reviewed in the United States on 18 November 2019

Verified Purchase

I have been playing the Mountain Dulcimer for around twenty years and having the tunes in a raw basic form in DAD tuning (current American standard) is absolutely great for beginners and vintage players. You have a book that will give you the basic tune and from that, ... you may add all the bells and whistles to beef it up or just let it be. It's all here: Guitar Cords, Lead Sheet, Lyrics, Key signatures. … All the greatest songs ever created started .... with a simple tune...

A Beginner + book.

Reviewed in the United States on 6 September 2018

Good selection. Since many of the tunes will not be familiar to many it may help to see if they are played onYou Tube - familiarity helps a beginner a lot.
