Bobby Gardiner <h3> A Complete Guide To The Irish Button Accordion For Players of the B/C Accordion System

Bobby Gardiner's book is ideal for the absolute beginner. Getting started with playing the melody is very pleasant. The use of basses and cords is still a little difficult. Here I would have liked more detailed explanations of the techniques (...or I just didn't understand them because English is not my mother tongue...). I had the book rebound for a few bucks. With the ring binding it is much easier to handle. Overall highly recommended.

Bobby Gardiner’s Book

I am very happy with this book. I am only about a quarter way through it and taking my time with it. I have found it to be an invaluable guide for me in learning the BC accordion and the accompanying Cd’s are really helpful. I play Irish music on other instruments and can read music so I am finding it fairly straightforward. This book, in my opinion, covers just about everything you would want to know for playing the accordion in this style. I highly recommend this accordion tutor.
