I started with Neal Hellman's "Richard Farina Dulcimer Book" and Leo Kretzner's "Dulcimer Fair". Both great books for chords as well as tunes - especially if you have the albums. Neal released his book as a free PDF some time ago. I can't find a current link on the web but I shouldn't think Neal would mind if you sent me a PM.
