Note from the Author:

This Concertina Tutorial was initially made for my friend Daniel Bradbury in Tampa, Florida and shortly after I finished the first side a number of people were showing an interest in English style concertina playing, particularly Alex C Jones on the concertina.net website. I decided to add a second side to the tape and included some recent and old playing with GIGCB and Rosbif.

The tutorial was not recorded in a studio and does include some playing and verbal mistakes. Alex however, has done a superb job in converting the tape to CD, in removing the recording clicks and ensuring that the tutorial is now in tune for people to play along with. My thanks to Alex for this work and in his help with the distribution of the concertina tutorial.

I cannot express the importance of the first lesson, which was a major help to me when I first started. It is not included but a useful addition would be to practice the 1 & 3 buttons on the left hand on the pull notes only before advancing to the first tune.

I would like to thank David Barnert for his hard work in writing out the sheet music for me, which must have been a nightmare as I rarely play a tune the same way each time. Chords have not been included for this reason.

Finally, my thanks to Dan, Dave, Alex and the International Concertina Association for their support to me in this project.

The music has been written as I played it and could vary from the original version.

I am happy for this concertina tutorial to be copied and distributed providing no profit is made. Feedback would be appreciated!

If you find my tutorial useful, I would be grateful of a link from your website to mine as this helps to keep the concertina tutorial free of charge.
