House of the rising sun guitar tab notes

This can be played on any 1-5-8 tuned 3-string stick dulcimer using just 2 strings. To do this, I try all the different '1-5-8' tunings (DAD, GDG, AEA, BFB, CGC, EBE, FCF) until I find the one that uses the least number of strings. I try to find the tuning that uses the least number of strings, preferably just one string (the melody string or string 1). I also tried GDG and that tuning works, but the tune is spread over 3 strings. That was House of the Rising Sun tuned to DAD, which doesn't work. You can tell if the song doesn't work because the tabs will have some notes marked with 3 Xs vertically oriented as in the following: But, with a little experimentation you can probably find some tuning that works. Click on this link and it will give you a list of possible tunings, some of which don't work. When you get to this page, notice there is a link called ' Dulcimer Tabs'. They have the music to House of the Rising Sun. I get most my tabs from a website named ' Digital Tradition Mirror' ( ). This class of instruments go by a variety of names, but the one I prefer is 'stick dulcimer'. I make and play diatonically fretted instruments modeled after the mountain dulcimer.
