Guran	English Concertina Tutorial (53* d)	RE: English Concertina Tutorial	09 Feb 10
I have to confess I am not so familiar with playing folk tunes but speaking of typical 6/8 jigs like "Haste to the wedding" intuitively I reverse (almost) without any exception on 1st and 4th regularly and with pull on the 1st, push on the 4th.This consequently results in a great deal of stress on 1st and 4th but I have a feeling maybe that fiddlers mostly play more fluently with less marked beats than what I personally prefer/produce by that routine. No harm done in my view if tunes come out a bit differently from different instruments but I am not the one to express an opinion how to play Irish... In my view this 1 and 4 emphasis may give some "lift" to the piece, is that "musically appropriate" ?
