I don't normally watch instructional videos for the pure joy of listening to the teacher but I keep watching your video over and over again just to hear the sound of your voice!
I've tried to learn this song on guitar for years. I'm getting a dulcimer today and hoping to have more success. Do you know which instrument(s) she uses for this song on Blue?
This was so beautiful I literally cried. My daughter just built a mountain dulcimer and gifted it to me as an early mother's day gift. I have been wanting to tackled to songs on "Blue" for a while. This is great!
Beautiful job! I just ordered a dulcimer yesterday, and this morning I thought..."Dare I hope that someone has posted how to play 'A Case of You' on the dulcimer?" Thank you! It is indeed one of THE most beautiful songs, and you play it so well.
What a pleasure to hear you Chris. I've been covering Joni tunes all my life and playing dulcimer for about 20 yrs. You do her great justice and you're very generous to share your knowledge. The dulcimer is such a soothing instrument and so versatile. I look forward to more videos. Thanks
I can't belive that there are a handful of 'dislikes' for this. Ridiculous! Thanks for posting this. i ordered a dulcimer last night on the strength of this.
oh yeah I have been waiting a long time to enjoy singing this song and just atarting my dulcimer lessons with Jessica Comeau! So I can understand what is going on here- another lovely artist- thank you Chris! Thank you so very much for sharing and also singing!!!!
Oh my your voice is just beautiful and fluid and full of emotion. Your dulcimer playing is a fantastic accompaniment to the rhythm’s and dynamics of your unique voice. I would love to sing harmonies with you. I, too, am a perennial j Mitchell admirer and when I was 13 I sang Tin Angel in my high school “Hootenanny “ series and my best friend Margaret and I smoked a bowl of Hashish my friend Milton brought back from the Canary Islands. Sister Margaret had just taken the vows of The Little Sisters of The Poor and she had an eqsquisite voice! Luckily we lived in a fairly progressive town of Washington D. C. as we often were barefooted when we sang in our “Revolutionary” Folk Masses and offered alternative hymn singing. We Sang lots of Sacred Harp style songs very popular even today in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. It is a very straight tone singing, one volume usually very expressive and Loud, no switching of dynamics from loud to soft. Anyway, since I discovered your wonderful postings I have taken all my instruments and placed them all over my bedroom - my guitars and dulcimer, my two autoharps, my mandolin , my ukulele(I’m a member of a Ukulele chorus ) my harmonica, and my banjo as well as my Lute! I am so happy and overjoyed I have discovered a new musician with such talent. Thank you! - Michael of St. Louis, Missouri USA
Playing that dulcimer part may be fairly easy a you say, but singing that song so we’ll surely isn’t! Beautiful voice and a really great version of that song. Thanks.
This is precisely why I bought a dulcimer. Thank you so much for putting this tutorial up. Not only really clear and easy to follow, but you sing it beautifully. Simply gorgeous 🥰
One thing... what is that little movement with your finger as you walk back down in the intro section? It looks like a quick slide and pull to the fret below?
Thank you, Chris, your dulcimer playing and voice are so beautiful and inspiring! Your amazing interpretation of the song is wonderful. We appreciate you very much. :)
Hi Chris. I am just reviving my dulcimer after many years of not playing, and this has been a favorite Joni song for ever. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love your warm and generous style of teaching. I see it is 3 years since you were intending to do more tutorials but since there don't seem to be any more I guess life has got in the way! Any chance of continuing even after all this time? Best wishes!
Thanks a lot! This was beautiful. As an absolute beginner who loves Joni Mitchell songs, this has helped me a lot, though I still need a lot of practice!
Hi Chris, Thanks for opening up my world to dulcimer. I'm a singer songwriter Iplay guitar and banjo, but wanted to explore the mountain dulcimer. I didn't even know you could tune the dulcimer in different tunings. Thanks a lot for this video, truly appreciated. Allie
My mouth dropped open...I said Wow! is that the lady singing? Sounds very good! ....okay after doing a search and listening I see now. You're a professional. I'm not surprised after hearing you sing.
Really beautiful. I was looking for a guitar tutorial and end up here. Actually it look easier in the dulcimer. Thanks for nice moment you just gave me.
Thank you, that was gorgeous. Just recently got a new dulcimer and love the approachability of the instrument. Also like that it's so light! love ya work! :-)
I can't thank you enough for this. It is one of my favourite love songs and I've always wanted to be able to play it. Have just bought a dulcimer this week and can't wait to try it. Your voice is amazing :0)
Thank you... normally I start my day with Joni @ Wembly Arena... Case of you... Im mesmerized by that song/performance... I enjoyed your performance very much!!!
Bravo - very nice rendition ! I've always been amazed on how Joni was able to compose beautiful songs using such basic chording. She's a very talented lady indeed !
A huge thank you for sharing this video with us. Learning to play Joni Mitchell on a dulcimer is so much fun and I really like your way of playing this song. I am really looking forward to learning California with your help! Thank you again!
OMG, If I hadn't seen and heard you playing this, I would have thought it was Joni! Joni is my all time favorite, she has helped me keep my sanity mire than once.I just bought a dulcimer and I just subscribed to your channel. I hope we can spend some more time together. Nice work!
Chris, I'm getting an Appalachian Duclimer for my birthday and am hoping to learn some Joni stuff which is how I found your video. I'm glad I did and not just because you instruct beautifully but I was absolutely floored by your performance of the song. What a love letter you've composed not just to the person in your heart whome you are singing to but also to Joni. Your performance is the perfect example of a gifted performer deeply understanding and respecting the source material by not just staying true to it, but enhancing it with your own very soulful embellishments. I was really touched anew by a song I've known most of my life. Brilliant. -Tad
You are a goddess.. so happy to find this.. essentially the only cover of this song that I can bare to hear.. voice like whipped butter... 😘 thank you..
Lovely! I noticed this is in the key of E4 and Joni's recording on Blue is in F4... but this is equally beautiful and maybe easier to play. I wonder if her dulcimer was tuned higher?
On my! What a beautiful rendition of Joni's A Case of You! Your voice is beautiful, as well as your playing. What a wonderful gift for you to give to us Joni fans. I've been wanting to play this song on the dulcimer for close to 40 years! Well, as you suggested, I'm going to get my dusty old dulcimer out of the box and give it a spin! Can't wait for your next lessons. Thank you so much for your beautiful tutorial.
I have a McSpadden dulcimer like the first one shown and find it incredibly easy to play. I'll try this song on it. Thanks so much, Chris, for the great demo!
I was here for the dulcimer lesson but... Wow, that voice 😍
I don't normally watch instructional videos for the pure joy of listening to the teacher but I keep watching your video over and over again just to hear the sound of your voice!
I've tried to learn this song on guitar for years. I'm getting a dulcimer today and hoping to have more success. Do you know which instrument(s) she uses for this song on Blue?
Stopped by to hear another dulcimer...but found her voice was icing on the cake 🎶🎵
Such a beautiful voice
Seems like People are still out here discovering - Beautiful Rendition & Beautiful Voice ! Thank you!
The most beautiful rendition of a Joni Mitchell song!
This was so beautiful I literally cried. My daughter just built a mountain dulcimer and gifted it to me as an early mother's day gift. I have been wanting to tackled to songs on "Blue" for a while. This is great!
This is a beautiful interpretation of the song. Thank you for demystifying the dulcimer part. You have a wonderful voice!
You made me cry. You did that so nicely. It was one of my favorite songs. Just WOW
Outstanding...vocals and dulcimer. What a song!
Beautiful job! I just ordered a dulcimer yesterday, and this morning I thought..."Dare I hope that someone has posted how to play 'A Case of You' on the dulcimer?" Thank you! It is indeed one of THE most beautiful songs, and you play it so well.
Wow. Omg..., I fell in love with Joni's voice a hundred years ago. Now there seems a mistress.... Thank you for this song.
You did a awesome job of covering Joni's masterpiece song . Joni would be proud for sure. 👍😊
What an amazing voice you have- you do justice to Joni while remaining unique unto yourself. Absolutely wonderful!
That was fantastic Chris, it sent a shiver up my spine. You have the same amazing voice range as Jonie and sweet as summer wine.
Very nicely done! Loved your rendition. I went to a Joni dulcimer workshop at a festival in Ontario once called Mariposa. Never forget it. “65”
Awesome! Compelling to watch and a joy to listen to. First time to see a Dulcimer being played… and so nicely. Thank you!
This is gorgeous. Kept pinching myself when you started singing. Wow.
Your voice...You carry within you a near-magical grace that shines and melts and soothes as you sing. Thank you

One thing... what is that little movement with your finger as you walk back down in the intro section? It looks like a quick slide and pull to the fret below?
I love how you just tuned the strings to what works for you. Still discovering DAdd tuning before exploring other styles. Your voice is gold!
Your playing and voice are beautiful!!! Thank you.
I’m a guitarist and a big Joni fan. Your talent and video are exceptional. Your voice and playing are spot on. I wish you well. Cheers.
