Learn to play "To Make You Feel My Love" on the mountain dulcimer

Your living space!

7:30 Eastern Daylight Time -- "Make You Feel My Love" was written by Bob Dylan in 1997 as an album cut, but was released first as a single by Billy Joel with the title "To Make You Feel My Love." It has been covered many times since, including Garth Brook’s version in the 1998 movie “Hope Floats,” and by Adele in 2008.

Two versions of the song are included with the download on Sheet Music Plus. The first version makes use of a 1+ fret AND a 0+ fret. For those who do not have a 0+ fret on your dulcimer, a second, more simplified version of the song has been included. This version avoids using the 0+ fret by playing incomplete chords at various points throughout the arrangement as needed. While these incomplete chords don’t sound wrong, they are not as fulfilling as the chords that were intended by the composer, Bob Dylan. The simplified version still needs the 1+ fret and this is the version that will be taught in this class.
