cnrobinson Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Welcome to the forum! My personal favourite tutor for the EC is 'Conquering the Concertina' by Les Branchett published by Sherborne House Publications. There are others, but I like the way this one runs through scales and chords. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnrobinson Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) Not specifically. I guess that first you have to be able to play the thing! It does cover playing in two parts and chords - both of which you need to get going. Song accompaniment is quite a subjective thing - a friend of mine objects to my making them 'too fancy' as he considers that this detracts from his singing! But once you have a grasp of the possibilities that the EC offers (or indeed the Anglo for that matter) you can make your own judgements.
