Got a Strumstick in DAD tuning? Probably a Grand McNally D-33 Strumstick. Let's walk through how to approach some of the most used chords.
This is by no means an exhaustive look at chords, but ample to get you through 80% of music and 100% FUN! There are a few other videos already posted for chord theory and basic chords, or if you have a more junior sized Strumstick or Seagull Merlin stick dulcimer.
BTW, did you know that the Seagull Merlin is tuned the same as a Grand Strumstick (DAD)? That means everything you find about a D Merlin M4 will work for a Strumstick (and vice versa ;-)
