Concertina and two-row button accordion master John Williams turns his attention to the Irish button accordion in this instructional release. Covering such topics as how to hold the accordion, first scales, bass notes, chords, arpeggios, scales in triplets, and waltz rhythms, Williams guides beginners through all the basic essentials. The lessons are illustrated through five traditional Irish songs, including "Oro (Se Do Bheatha Bhaile)," "Saddle the Pony," "Napoleon Crossing the Rhine," "Sporting Nellie," and "Sally Gardens."
