Daddy Long Les Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have been working on a new kind of tablature for English Concertina. Even though I can read music I have found by using this tablature I can play more fluently. I have made a short film to explain:- You can download the tab sheet here:-www.daddylongles.com - go to "Concertina Music" and look for "Morning Has Broken"I have made this very easy tune my first example.This tab could be adapted for other English Concertinas. The one I play is a 30 button "Jackie" treble instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Great Idea, I have been messing about with notation for newbies and attached PDF for you to look at. I am aware that there is NO Key signature, but have found out if a person is very new to music, less is sometimes best, and the accidentals are shown on this method I hope that it may give you a different view point, as I was a little thrown with the tabs, could be I'm wrong but any tool which helps promote "reading the dots" in theory be better for the person in the long run? Best wishes and regards to Lester. Dave Albury-signed.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Long Les Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi Dave, Yes that looks really good. I specifically came up with my tab as it really helps me play more accurately. It also made me learn all my notes on the EC which can't be a bad thing! Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullethead Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 @Daddy Long Les Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos and tabs. I'm just starting with EC myself and am finding your information quite useful. I've been making myself tabs following your system and it's taught me not only the buttons but also how to read the treble clef (I grew up playing trombone so only messed with bass clef). And along the way I've also learned how to read and edit .abc files, to get from them to sheet music and from that to your tab format. All this knowledge gained in the week between deciding to buy a Jackie and waiting for it to arrive. I feel this has given me a bit of a head start with it. So thanks again.

Lots of luck with your Jackie and do let me know how you are getting on from time to time. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
