    Chords And Such

    in Teaching and Learning

    Posted

    Hi there

     

    Have a look at the videos for beginners of English Concertina on you tube :)

     

     

    Regards and hope it's helpful

    So... How do you make chords with an english concertina? This is my first and I'm not sure how to do it really... Do you just use the 7th, do you use Majors or Minors on one hand and 7ths/5ths on the other? I don't really know how many notes I need... Any help would be much appreciated! Thx!

     

    Btw, if this'll help, here's a button layout chart I made because I can't find one chart for a 30-button english.

     

    P.s. Can any one please find me a CMajor? I've tried and tried and I can't find one! Thanks!

    Hi Martyn

    Welcome to c.net. I have been watching your videos on YouTube and even though I don't consider myself a beginner I have found them interesting and useful.

    I like your concertina. Is it an Aeola with amboyna ends? Very nice.

     

    I look forward to your next videos.

     

    Hi there ... thanks for the kind comments ... it's a tenor/treble Aeola with Rosewood ends and matching bellows ... made by Steve Dickinson (Wheatstone) in 1988 especially for Jenny Cox who lives in the Bristol area and runs regular concertina band workshops.

     

    Regards

    English Concertina Beginner Tuition On Youtube

    Hi everyone

     

    I've been making a few video tutorials for beginners of English concertina and uploading them to YouTube. I'm no great shakes as a player but just wanted to pass on a few helpful hints and tips to get people started.

     

    Here's the link to the first one ...

     

    Next to the video player on the YouTube page there's a link called 'More From This User'. The next few videos can be found there.

     

    Each video is just under 10 mins long.

     

    What do you think? And is there anyone out there who could do some 'Intermediate/Improvers' tutorials?

     

    Regards
