Thank you for teaching us the Hymns. Thanks for doing a extra slow version for us beginners. Can you do a hymn higher ground? And Give Thanks by Don Moen?? . I would love a lesson for these two songs. Bless you. 😊
Benjamin, these are so helpful! Thanks for teaching us how to bring out beautiful music on our dulcimers. You are an excellent teacher and fantastic artist.
This is such a precious song and you have played it well. Voting from 1 to 10, and 10 at the top,,, I vote a 10. You also sounded like such a good person. I know your parents are proud of you....
Just learning how to play the dulcimer and this is one of my favorite songs to sing, so I will definitely being coming back here to learn how to play this. Thank you for sharing this and posting this for us.
Mr. Esh. Thanks so much for these lessons and all the information on your website. Now that I have tried them I will be ordering a hymnal. It is very generous of you to share so much detailed info and lessons. Thank you!
Very nice song. Sounds great. You play it very well. I'm a beginner I will practice this song for sure. It looks easy enough for me to learn it. Thanks!
I love the sound of your dulcimer. May I ask what kind it is and where you purchased it? I am a beginner. I don't know how to read music. But I play by ear. I may consider some the the sheet music you are using. Love the hymns. I use a noter and just play notes. I haven't ventured into playing chords. I would like to try. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Are you aware that your playing is the exact opposite to us as we are viewing the video? It would be better to watch you play from above so that your right hand is our right hand and your left is our left.
Sue . . . at a festival, this is actually the view i see... unless, of course, ya stand behind :) i try to get a feeling for a song by watching a players hands as they move around the frets... and don't really worry too much about getting all the notes right away :) this is such a pretty version of Farther Along and he makes it easy for us. Thank u Benjamin
So beautiful 🤩

Very Nice : )
Where can I buy a nice mountain dulcimer like that one?

Could you explain your strumming technique?

What are you tuned to? DAA, DAD or another tuning?
Just your basic DAD

Really nice sound and playing mate!! :D
Thanks! It's a custom folkcraft dulcimer.
I want to like it, but it's at 777.
Sounds like Hank Williams song tramp on the street
