Begin this tune by placing your right hand fingers on the G row in the home position; your first finger on button 3, second on button 4, third on button 5, and fourth on button 6.
The whole tune can be played using these fingers to operate its specific button.
Pay attention to letting fingers fly away once they have played their note; they should stay on the button or hover just about it.
To read the notation: each number corresponds to a button on the melodeon's G row. G5 would mean play the 5th button of the G row on the push (closing the bellows together). G6' would mean play button 6 of the G row on the pull (opening the bellows up) etc.
If you find you are running out of air make sure you use the air button to refill or empty the bellows.
Had my Hohner Single row in G for one week, and this really helped me whilst I wait for a tuition book. Thank you very much for posting. Am struggling to find "Fields of Gold" fingering at the moment and "Battle of the Somme". Would be really grateful if you could tell me notation for this.
