- www.timothyseaman.com/ Timothy has put together a chart of easy fingerings for the six main chords in the key of D, in the order of the Pachelbel Canon chords so it can be practiced over and over! Here he discusses it a bit and plays it over and over for you to join in and learn these three major chords (D, G, and A) and minor chords (Em, F#m, and Bm)! If you'd like a pdf of the chart, request it at timothyseaman@gmail.com. Please be sure to include 'mountain dulcimer' in your request so we don't send the hammered dulcimer, uke, or guitar one! (No strings attached --- we just like to share things with people.)
By the way, once you learn these chords, you can play them along with the original Classical piece, Canon in D by Pachelbel, since it's in the same key! - Hudba
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This info is gold for a beginner who is baffled by learning the chords. This video contributes greatly to enjoyment of this instrument.
nobody knows what a dulcimer is and this really helps me play mine because i can't find any other youtube videos for this
All together now.... The Farm. Thanks for helping me get started on my dulcimer.
I'm just learning chords, I'll use this later when I practice. Thanks so much!
Nice lesson! Thank you!
Thank you. Just what i was looking for
This us fantastic. I just got my first dulcimer this week and once I string/tune it this weekend I'll definitely revisit this video for practicing the chords.
Very nice practice lesson thanks
Thank you for the lesson.
Thanks !
Thanks! That gives me some ideas for cords I haven't found yet. Same progression works with "Hook" by Blues Travelers. I appreciate you taking the time to post it, and enjoy your teaching style. Fret numbers help too, by the way.
Thanks! Was given one yesterday.
You are wonderful. God bless you 🙏
Thank you for sharing.
FOUND IT!
I thought he said Taco Bell’s cannon 😂
I sequenced a basic accompaniment to this on a small portable synthesizer. (Roland J-6, for those who are interested.) My music buddy was absolutely infuriated and refused to play along with it. That was maybe a year ago. I just had my first dulcimer lesson last Friday. And now I find this and I think I'll pull out that track and mess around. Thank you. (Here's my favorite version of the actual piece, so far. Honestly, it's more fun to play than listen to but I like this one. czcams.com/video/1wiRRv80ehM/video.html )
Are the fret labels glued on? I am a newbie and want to add note labels to my Dulcimer but I am concerned the gule will damage the wood.
all I need to do now is get hold of an instrument to practice on. 🙂
There are many easy ways to get a mountain dulcimer; there's a great FB group called Everything Dulcimer where you can ask who has an extra one, and in my website's page 'Dulcimers 101' I have links to several builders.
Well that's more like it! I like regular traditional folk American music not so much the mountain Bluegrass sounds
How can I get a copy of the pdf of your cord progressions?
If you email me at timothyseaman@gmail.com I can reply with the pdf attached.

I'm not entirely sure about the usefulness of learning chords whwen it comes to the dulcimer. Whenever I have wanted to play something, I have bought or downloaded the tablature which tells you which strings and frets to play. You learn the fingering and the rhythm and you play the song. I don't know of any music for the dulcimer which tells you the musical notation as to what chord it is and you go from there. You get the sheet music and the tablature for the finger placement, as you were demonstrating. Then, off you go to playing a new song. The names of the strings are: bass, drone and melody. Not top, middle and bottom. And you can get by with one melody string.
Learning chords lets you play something without tablature, like if you were playing along with a friend who only had guitar music.
