Movie Reviews of DVD-Hammer Dulcimer-A Comprehensive Beginner's Course
Movie Review: Great music but not for the absolute beginner....
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one of several books/DVD/CD sets I purchased to attempt to learn how to play.... John is an awesome player and I think any intermediate player would benefit greatly from this DVD but for me it was pretty confusing...
John would play a piece and then would say rewind and play again until I got it... I was left to picking notes to try and match the music and it was not very efficient... Finally found Madeline's book (offered as a set with this DVD)which showed which strings I needed to hit and everything clicked... If you are an absolute beginner, purchase the set and start with Madeline's book first... You won't be sorry....
