by Steve Eulberg

Download one-sheet (PDF)

Steve Eulberg's Dulcimer Joy is a mountain dulcimer exercise book for your picking hand. All 30 exercises are built on one familiar melody, Beethoven's "Ode To Joy," in DAD tuning, and they aim to make your right hand comfortable and dependable.

  • The melody travels across three octaves
  • Exercises change meter, picking pattern and chord substitutions as you go
  • Each one is musical enough to enjoy playing, not just a drill

Steve teaches from a "home position" that develops accurate, confident fingerpicking, and flatpickers can use every exercise too. A recording of each exercise lets you check how it should sound.

47 pages, CD included.
