If you haven’t seen it, we have a batch of bluegrass songs, including “Arkansas Traveler” in full video course format. Everything you need to take yourself from no bluegrass dulcimer skills on up to a strong intermediate level.
For this version, though, Justin followed the true bluegrass tradition of flexing the melody from what we transcribed for the lesson TAB, and made it more of his own. Note how he’s using all three strings to fill out the sound as he plays most of the melody, as well as how he adds in more frills to spice things up.
