 ‘The Mighty Accordion’, by David DiGiuseppe, is a guide to playing the bass side of the accordion. The book includes a comprehensive collection of progressive exercises to guide the student in learning and mastering bass/chord patterns. For the beginner, the first few chapters assume little or no knowledge of the instrument and teach how to play simple accompaniment patterns. Uses of the major, minor and seventh chords are explained, with numerous exercises offered to develop skill in executing various bass/chord accompaniment patterns. For the advanced player, latter chapters present exercises on chord combinations needed to play sixth, minor seventh, major seventh and ninth chords, and other advanced techniques. Throughout the book, explanations are offered on the workings of the instrument and relevant music theory. The book includes 2 CDs, featuring many of the book's exercises played at both a slow and moderate tempo. David DiGiuseppe is an accomplished and versatile accordionist, mandolin and cittern player, singer, and storyteller. He is equally at home performing Irish tunes in a pub, French musettes in a cabaret, contra or Cajun music for a dance, or in the intimate setting of a concert hall.
