dmksails Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi All! I'm a complete beginner on the anglo and have a question on how to play a song. The song contains a B-flat (key 5a). There are a number of runs where it goes from B-flat to G then A. I've found it smoother to use Key 8 for the G/A in this case. Further along in the song, it goes G-F-D-F-G-Bflat and this is where my fingers get braided together. How would you play this run? BTW - song is Misty Mountains, from the Hobbit movie. Couldn't find this already scored for the concertina, so I'm doing it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forestsun Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Well the general rule is to avoid hopping with the same finger from one button to another. Normally one shouldn't do that as it slows you down and breaks the rhythm of a tune. But as yours is a very slow melody I'd say that the smartest thing is hopping with your "second finger" (the bad finger) from "the middle-row-F" to the "outside-row-G" ...and from there to continue with your index finger to the b-flat - as all those three notes are on a pull.

dmksails Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the idea. It got me looking around a bit more and it looks like use the 4a key anytime I use the 5a is going to be easier. Now for adding some harmony notes... Thanks again!
