Welcome to my channel, featuring the Seagull Merlin (M4), a dulcimer inspired instrument that's a blast to play!
My name is Chuck Shepherd and I've been a music instructor for most of my life, currently teaching 22 students at a local music store. My main instrument is guitar, though I also teach banjo, dobro, uke, dulcimer, and of course, the Merlin!
I started this channel when the Merlin first hit the scene and uploaded the first eight videos to help people get started. I came back a couple of years later and was surprised to see the channel has grown on it's own! Thanks to everyone to help build the channel, it's deeply appreciated. I have decided to come back and give more detailed lessons on a regular basis, so stay tuned!!!
Please note that I can not comply to requests for music that has a copyright. The main focus of this channel is on skill building, theory, public domain songs, original music, Music education, and good ole jamming!!!!
