Not to take away from ARR who I'm a big fan of, but he really didnt have to learn the accordion, because the accordion has keys just like a piano, keyboard or a harmonium, and if you can play those you can do the accordion. The only thing that is difficult about the accordion is the left hand side which has numerous buttons, but ARR did not use that. I know because I have accordions that my dad used to play, and i cannot play the difficult left hand side but I can play the right hand side because I know how to play keyboard/harmonium etc. In any case I love the use of the accordion. - Gaurav
