Have you wanted to try fingerpicking with your dulcimer but weren't sure how? In this tutorial I teach a basic fingerpicking pattern to get you started. I love to pick! It adds to the sweetness of this wonderful instrument. There are many fingerpicking patterns, but this one is easy to start with. I'm playing my Folk Roots dulcimer with a wrist rest pickup on it, run through my Roland Cube amp. I'm recording on my humble webcam. (Thumbnail photo by Joel DeLashmit.) My solo dulcimer album is available on Bandcamp, Amazon, Apple Music/iTunes, Pandora, Tidal, and iHeartRadio. There are links below. (Be sure to take a look at the liner notes on Bandcamp, as they tell the story behind each tune or song 🙂) https://carolhatfield.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-blackberry-creek https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G5JYG412/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2SWN54T8JJLE5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4m60eAsPcVwGZoXG4WTY7TNPtmOx21Pjnbci58b6ZGlMBDAVqle_Y_5mxDL2C89H.IYb_9J4yssEGHa8LY_CjHzWAzblMT2ZzFmi73yRRZeg&dib_tag=se&keywords=back+to+blackberry+creek&qid=1765397920&sprefix=back+to+blackberry+creek%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-1 https://music.apple.com/us/album/back-to-blackberry-creek/1859337837 https://www.pandora.com/artist/carol-hatfield/back-to-blackberry-creek/ALdk5zhvvPf9f7g https://tidal.com/album/479716683
