Welcome to the wonderful world of stick dulcimers, pickin' sticks, Strumsticks, and dulcimer guitars!
This 22-Page Dulcimer Guitar Chord Guide will give you all the tools you need to play any standard chord in more than one way. It's a compilation of all the most common chords I use in the instruction videos both here and on the YouTube channel.
Learn how to read chord symbols, why "barre chords" are so important (and how they can really open your playing up), and the reasoning behind choosing one chord over another. Dulcimer guitars are the easiest stringed instruments in the world to learn, and the 1-Finger ("barre") chords will show you why!
Plus, there are chord diagrams and accompanying pictures to help you get going quickly. Everything a beginner needs to learn songs and have fun.
With this guide, you'll be able to look at a chord chart and demystify the symbols. Don't like the way one chord sounds? Here are some options. Is one chord shape hurting your hand? Try another one.
