My suggestion would be to download the Sr. Maestro program ( Windows only ) from the Reyesaccordions.com site.. they show scales, in singles, thirds and sixths..and have all fingerings for chords .. the works.

I would play on a Mic'd triple row for anything close to zydeco sound.. ( or mic'd single row for that matter)..lower key the better..

I'd practice with a casio or something backing me up ( drums or whatever ).. to get used to playing with a band.. ( anyone know of zydeco kareoke ??.. songs with no accordion to play with? )..

I would play with an LMM reed set-up at least.

I have a big black DINO triple row in FBbEb with handmade reeds and a pro mic.. if anyone wants to buy it for $2,750 plus shipping ( from Italy ) .. like new condition.

I am playing my Corona IIIR's mostly ( in GCF,EAD and ADG ) .. for zydeco fun.

I agree. I got the dvd after I got my Panther. It really helped, although I was a little disappointed with the DVD itself. It could have been done a little more profesionnally (you'll see what I mean when you watch it).
A great song to play on the triple-row is "If tears were diamonds., beautifully interpreted by Jeffrey Broussard here on link #2.
Amuse-toi bien!

Glenn is on the mark. Senor Maestro will have the scales, progressions, and chords. How you put them to use depends on the music you want to play.
