Product Description
Closer to the Heart is one of the most popular songs by the Canadian progressive rock trio, RUSH.
Arranged for mountain dulcimer in standard DAd (1-5-8) tuning. Contains two arrangments: Intermediate variation in the key of A and an Advanced variation in the key of D. Both include lyrics, lead sheet notation, and accompaniment chords.
Intermediate (4 pages): Requires the 1+ fret. Approachable tablature with moderate ornamentation, played lower on the fretboard.
Advanced (6 pages): Requires the 0+, 1+, 7+, and 8+ frets as written. However, the 0+ is indicated in only one measure of the intro and the 7+ in one measure of the instrumental break. Can be omitted or acomplished with a simple bend at the player's discretion. Played slightly higher on the fretboard and with more ornamentation. Optional extended instrumental break captures more of the flavor of the great guitar work from Eric and Geddy Lee in the original composition.
Attached MIDI sample is of the Advanced tab.
(A YouTube link to a demonstration of the Intermediate variation will be posted soon.)
