In THE ACCORDION BASS, Guy uses his experience as an accordion player and teacher to explain the layout and use of the standard Stradella bass used by most accordionists today. No previous knowledge or experience is assumed on the part of the reader.
Starting with a basic introduction the student is taken through the process of learning the bass buttons in a logical sequence with clear explanations and exercises to develop familiarity and expertise. Attention is focused on the use of correct fingering and hand position, essential for the development of consistent accuracy.
The book deals mainly with bass accompaniment playing, enabling beginners and intermediate players to quickly get to grips with playing bass keyboard harmony to complement the melody on the treble keyboard.
