Product Description
Arranged for mountain dulcimer in standard DAd (1-5-8) tuning. The 1+ fret is required.
Suggested difficulty level is Intermediate and above. This song is not overly complex, but the syncopated R&B/soul rhythm and addition of optional slides, pull offs, and hammer ons make this a fun piece for those looking to incorporate some ornamentation into their playing.
Two different strum pattern diagrams and optional fill notes in the tab allows players customize the sound to fit their own style. Some additional tips have been included for those who would like to try this song as a duet.
In additon to the well known Dobie Gray version, you can find excellent covers of this song by Uncle Kracker, Roy Orbison, Rod Stewart, Lynn Anderson, Tom Petty, Ringo Starr, Ray Charles, Clarence Carter, Waylon Jennings, Michael Bolton, and the Neville Brothers. It has charted in the Billboard Top 100 at least three times; in the 70s, 90s, and early 2000s.
