The  First  Jam  series  was  created  to  give  children  and  beginners  of  all  ages  a  book  of  simple,  common  tunes  to  learn.  These  are  standard  Jam  tunes  in  the  Bluegrass/Old  Time  music  styles.  All  the  books  in  this  series  are  written  in  the  same  keys;  they  can  all  be  played  together  without  any  problems.  So  get  your  friends  or  family  who  play  guitar,  mandolin,  banjo,  ukulele,  dulcimer  or  Dobro  together,  grab  these  books  and  start  jamming.  First  Jams:  Dulcimer  is  written  from  traditional  Mountain  Dulcimer  in  DAD,  DGD  and  CGC  tunings.              Improvisation    Another  idea  behind  writing  the  First  Jam  series  was  to  provide  a  number  of  tunes  that  were  easy  to  learn,  but  that  are  also  a  great  to  begin  working  on  improvising.  Each  book  in  the  series  offers  the  melody  for  that  particular  instrument  as  well  as  back-up  chords  for  another  instrument  to  accompany  you.  Each  song  is  represented  in  Tab,  notation  and  chord  symbols.  The  accompanying  CD  has  two  tracks  for  each  song.  The  first  playing  the  song  with  the  melody  line,  the  second  track  offers  just  the  backup  so  you  can  play  the  melody  over  it  or  even  improvise.  Tunes  include:  Cripple  Creek,  Old  Joe  Clark,  Will  the  Circle  Be  Unbroken  and  many  more.
