Thread Name: concertinas and guitar for accompaniment
Subject: RE: concertinas and guitar for accompaniment
I know this is about guitar vs conertina. And my answer to that is right up there aat the top.

What I have difficulty with is singing whilst playing the Melodeon. Anyone got an answer how to get around the problem . And don't say DON*T!

Seriously. I wonder if it is the fact that mostly I play melody with the left hand on the concertina when I sing with that instrument. Although I do a lot of right handed finger picking style guitar playing when singing with that instrument. With the melodeon I can start but get bogged down after a couple of bars (It's not the drink)
and have to give up. Perhaps it's just practice? Anyone help

And yes Anahta. I enjoyed you and Mary's "Bonny Light Horseman" with chello and banjo an excelant combo.
