Chords for English Concertina

[fernando]

Hi everybody!

 

I'm trying to play chords with the English Concertina, first time I try to play chords with any instrument, this is another world!

 

I did this the other day:

 

Chord Generator

 

It is an Excel file that gives a diagram of Major or Minor chords, in any note.

 

A few easy instructions for those who may be interested on this:

 

1) When you go to the link, press the button that gives the option Download.

 

2) Once the file is on your computer (if you see that It's a "read-only file", you must save it to your computer) open it and go to the first spreadsheet.

 

3) At the bottom of this page there are two boxes. One for entering the Note, and the other for entering the Mode (Major or Minor).

 

4) You can find the diagram for the chord in the second spreadsheet. The notes of the chord are in green, the optional note that gives the "7" is in yellow.

 

Note that this file is done taking into account that the concertina is in that tuning where D#=Eb and Ab=G#, and the concertina has 48 buttons.

 

I hope this is of some help to you!
