Dave Mallinson
Melodeon techniques for all. Although sub-titled Absolute Beginners this book, by Dave Mallinson, will take students to a very high standard.

The student then learns how to play the bass in time, with in depth analysis of how the treble and bass interact. Next comes row crossing techniques to smooth the bellows and to create better harmonies, followed by a more tasteful approach to the bass. The book finishes with accidentals, minor keys, slides, slip jigs and the key of A. Contains 30 topics, 48 tunes, introduction and a foreword by Andy Cutting.
