In this lovely and versatile major tuning, we'll start with source player Jean Ritchie's haunting traditional song, "Pretty Saro". We'll use the noter and explore Jean's technique of using the dulcimer as a "harmony voice" while singing. We'll also play two feisty songs: "When I Was a Fair Maid" and "The Wagoner's Lad", touching on techniques of hammering down and pulling off, simple chords, and the slap strum.
