Butch Ross - All The Strings, All The Time

Regular price $15.00

A lot of dulcimer tab books include intricate, complicated (and cool, no doubt) arrangements that sound utterly amazing.

But, remember that dulcimer music was originally "melody string only", and the other strings were "drone notes".

With this book of classic tunes, Butch Ross (who is perfectly capable of both creating and playing those complicated arrangements) has given us a return-to-the-roots type songbook.

The title of the book - "All The Strings, All The Time" tells it all. No complicated right hand picking - just strum. All the strings. All the time.

The result? Great sounding, traditional versions of outstanding dulcimer music. Enjoy!

Precision and just as advertised

The book is exactly as it was discussed on the website. Not only did I get the book but also the MP3 files for each song. You may view the song in the book, or as an individual file. I have had fun playing the songs. I have not tried the alternate tunings, however, there are enough songs in DAD tuning to keep me busy for a long while. I am a beginner player. Thank you for the book and the nice choice of songs to play. I only wish I had the words to the songs, as I don’t know several of them.

BUTCH ROSS ROCKS!

Great book for the beginning dulcimer player. It progresses from the simple to the more challenging. Very pleased with my purchase.
