The First Song You NEED To Learn on the Merlin | Seagull M4

Welcome!
The best thing about the Merlin, in my opinion, is slowly figuring it out by yourself. It's such a new and unique instrument, that it's really up to our own desire for knowledge to bring out it's full potential. But with that said, I think this simple little ditty could provide many with a great starting place. I know for myself, it's always a song I feel comfortable coming back to when I start to lose inspiration.
Please leave any questions or comments and I will get back to you!

Excellent lesson. I play bass, but I've been fascinated by the Merlin for some time and when I saw one in my local music shop recently I bought it. I have no idea how to play it properly and I thought this video was very helpful and it encourages improvisation. Thank you.

Just discovered this awesome little instrument in a music store the other day. (I play banjo and guitar). Been watching videos ever since!! :) This is A GREAT little tune. Slides and vibrato are really nicely done, give it a real Appalachian kind of sound to me. If Santa is kind to me, this might be the first song I learn. Thanks.

TablEdit v3.01 supports now the Merlin Strumstick. The module name of a Strumstick module must begin with "Merlin"

@rogermahon448 3 года назад

Hey Zach. Any chance you posting the tabs for us older newbies? I love that little tune.

@ZackRamsey14 3 года назад

I appreciate that but unfortunately I am terrible at writing TAB so no :/

@rogermahon448 3 года назад

@@ZackRamsey14 Okay. Thanks anyways. Take care.

@user-gk7mz9cy5z 3 года назад

@@rogermahon448 Maybe use the video settings to slow down the picture rate(speed), and then you can follow the tune a little easier.

@Elazarko Год назад

Ask a piano player who finds playing guitar surprisingly difficult would you recommend this instrument? Any other alternative?

@ZackRamsey14 Год назад

Yeah this could be worth a shot! It's hard to think of many other recommendations though because I am mainly a guitar player and the merlin is still very guitar like. But it allows you to start making cool music much faster with less experience

@randdavid8599 2 года назад

Hey Zack... just saw this for the first time. Fantastic! Do you share the chords and tabs?

@jennilox1013 2 года назад

Please make more Merlin videos ♡

@Jenny_bell_key 3 года назад

That’s neat! Can you use regular dulcimer tab with this instrument, or is it an entirely different animal?

@ZackRamsey14 3 года назад

Yes you can!

Does this song have a title? Nice job!🙂

@rogermahon448 3 года назад

Hey Zach, when you say 7th fret, are you meaning the 4th on the Merlin?

@ZackRamsey14 3 года назад

I do mean 4th yes haha. I didn't even notice I said that, I think it is because that same fret would be the 7th fret on guitar and I am a guitar player

@rogermahon448 3 года назад

@@ZackRamsey14 Yeah that’s what I figured. Okay thanks. Great little tune.

@bartknetemann 3 года назад

Can you do a loop of the song so i can play along again and again. That's the way i like to practish. Thanks in advance

I can try! I've been busy but I will keep this in mind, thank you for stopping by

I would if i knew it lol

@jeffallen8135 3 года назад

Check it out on youtube I don't think it would be very hard for man of your talents

@jacobmcintosh1775 3 года назад

That would be really cool, but that would most likely need be on the chromatic Merlin, as it’s in a minor key, and thus contradictory to a major key like a Merlin is made in. Hope that’s a chromatic in the back, I tuned my baritone ukelele to a Merlin and love it lmao
