Accordion Lesson #1 Play by Ear

[dcorrette]

I have been playing the guitar for 50 years and I'm in the process of learning the 5 string banjo. I now have a 12 bass 25 piano key accordion and so far I'm making slow but steady progress. says Judy Corrette

Hi dale, i finally got an Accordion, I, m learning from video 1 first lesson, your a brilliant teacher so patient and easy to understand, thank you .

I’ve been playing since 2012, and I tell you I could’ve used this video! Very well and simply explained. Luckily I’m great at playing by ear and I was able to figure all this out on my own, and I still learn songs by ear to this day (don’t read music). For basics this was well demonstrated. Thank you for your video! My grandparents live in Sun City too!

Love this! It's been on my heart for some time now to learn how to olay the accordion. Coming from a Mexican family I can remember Uncle's playing these when I was a kid. I have to learn in their honor

Sir, you made it so easy.. I learned in 30 minutes what I couldn’t learn six months before this. Thank you very much.

i have an accordion that i been trying to sell and no takers i just thought i would watch your video for the hell of and learned a lot the way you patiently explain what the left hand does and then what the right hand does in simple terms, i watched another video yesterday and the instructor was not patient at all very rushy with his student i couldn't even watch the whole thing i was lost and turned it off. thank you for a great video. i may hang on to accordion for a while.

I just unpacked an old accordion I bought off eBay from a heart charity a couple of hours ago....without a clue how I was going to learn to play it....now I have a good idea....!!!
I can't wait ...I bought a toy one last week and was immediately struck by the great feeling of having the sounds so close to ones torso....like u said.

I had a chromatic accordion as a kid and couldn't play it at all. Now I have retired I really want to learn, and the digital one with earphones will be great as it won't annoy the wife ! Many thanks.

I’m also a huge fan of the Roland series you play as well. I gotta get my hands on one when I can afford to!

Hi Dale I am German and I play Accordeon since 1969.We learned to play the base button with the 4.finger and not with the 3.finger as you do. Kind regards
