On this webpage you can find some videos I recorded on piano-accordion of common Irish Session Tunes. I also added Free Sheet Music to the videos, including chords.
Some small disclaimers:
- I have tried to write the tunes down as I play them in the videos, but there might be small differences (every time I play a tune, there will be differences in ornamentation, chords, etc).
- There are many ways to play these tunes; this is just the way I play it. Feel free to make it your own.
- Also, I believe these tunes are all traditional tunes. If not, please let me know.
TIP: you can use this Google Chrome extension to slow down the videos if you want: Transpose ▲▼ pitch ▹ speed ▹ loop
