Black Nag (English Country Dance)
kenkolodnerI often start new players off with this English country dance tune to:
- build equality of hands (I alternate in this one!)
- introduce the full range of Em and Am arpeggiosÂ
- explore the many ideas/techniques when playing in 6/8
There is a lot more in this simple tune than meets the eye!
Here's What You Get:
$38 (Sheet music PLUS video lessons)
Sheet music for melody and variations. Ken talks through the tune, chord choices, hammering patterns, backups, embellishments, arranging, play-throughs, and more on his dulcimer (shot from above so that you can see what he's doing).
Video Lessons Included:
- Basic tune
- Hammering (2 videos)
- Arpeggio variations
- Variations, page 1
- Variations, page 2
- Play-through
Approximate length: 32 minutes
***Videos can be streamed, downloaded, or viewed in the Gumroad App on mobile devices. Watch your email for instructions after purchase***
It's like having private mini-tutorials from Ken that you can watch over and over!
NOTE: Even if you already own the sheet music, your purchase ensures that you receive the latest updated versions, and future additions to new arranging ideas, backups and so forth as Ken experiments and develops his playing of the tune.
Thank you for your support - I hope you enjoy the tune! Please do not share your purchased music and videos.
