Next Saturday (July 3) I will be teaching workshops and performing at the Pickin' Porch at Woods-N-Strings Dulcimer Shop in Townsend, TN.
Here is a list of the classes I will be teaching and the times. They are five dollars each. If you are interested, contact Woods-N-Strings to to sign up for classes.
10:30 - 11:30 - Fiddle Tune Variations: Learn a few cool variations that you can use for almost every fiddle tune.
1:15 - 2:15 - You are Capo-Able: This is a class that is good if you have not really done much with your capo. Learn how to use it (without a "Capo tab") and good way to think about it. Please bring capo!
2:30 - 3:30 - Left Hand Only: We are going to look at using only hammer-ons and pull-offs to play a song to help get them ingrained in you mind and your muscle memory.
3:45 - 4:45 - Reuben's Train: Learn a great song to ad to your repertoire. Also learning new techniques and the use of all fingers. Please bring your capo!
My concert will be a 7:00 in the evening
Hope to see you there!

About Nathaniel
- Nathaniel Samsel
- Thirteen-year-old Nathaniel Samsel is the 2011 Southern Regional Mountain Dulcimer Champion and 2010 mid-east regional champion. He also placed 3rd in the 2011 national championship and won the 2011 Colorado championship. Nathaniel first began playing the mountain dulcimer after he and his dad built an instrument together at a workshop in 2007. Soon after they joined the Nacoochee Strummers, where "Miss Lynn" began teaching them about dulcimer playing. Nathaniel, who was 8 at the time, quickly proved that he's a faster learner than dad. He has benefitted greatly from fine teaching at dulcimer festivals by top instructors, especially 2006 national champion Jeff Hames. Nathaniel performs regularly in solo concerts, festival appearances and performances for churches or civic groups and teaches workshops at festivals and club meetings. Nathaniel's main performance dulcimer is a custom spruce-cherry McSpadden Dulcimer. He also likes to perform with his Clemmer Ban-Jammer. Nathaniel has two brothers and two sisters and is home-schooled.
