My tunes

Updated 16/3/10

I write tunes occasionally. Some people like some of my tunes, so I thought I would put them up here. It's a fairly random mix of English and French stuff, some really very simple and some less so.

The chords were written for accordion. As a general rule, you can ignore the numbers after the chords if you want to simplify things a bit (but they will be less scrunchy). The way you get the more complex chords is as follows (demonstrated for the key of D):

Chord symbol Bass button Chord button
Dm7 Bb counterbass (D) F major
Dmaj7 D F# minor
D6 D D major + B minor
Dm6 D D minor + D dim
D9 D D major + A minor

For anything more complex I have used the "CHORD/bass" notation.

If you like one, and use it for something interesting then please let me know!

I've included a PDF and ABC. The ABC uses a bunch of extensions implemented in abcm2ps, so apologies if it's not very portable.
