The first problem is using the big yellow book to figure out accordion parts, actually using any written anything to figure out accordion parts. Big yellow was written by a fiddler.
Try it the other way round:
1. slow down the version you like
2. listen very carefully
3. notate what you hear (yes, NOTES, and NOT the dang tab)
4. play!
Hi Paul
It might be an idea to learn French Blues first which uses the same scale but a bit easier to play in my onion, saying that I'm still trying to get the turn right and won't touch pine grove till I have.
