If you are playing 3-string dulcimer (or have a big brain and convert from dulcimer to chromatic without trembling) here is a link to a library of 13 basic tunes everyone should know, from the North Georgia Foothills Dulcimer Association. Remember, this is lap dulcimer, so you'll have to switch top and bottom strings. But an excellent starting point for new players.

Awesome Diane. Thanks!

to all: remember these are dulcimer tabs. If you know what a dulcimer is, you know the fretting is different (diatonic?) and that the tabs are written for that. You may have to transpose/translate the tabs into standard guitar fretting -- assuming you use standard guitar fretting.
