Basic Accordion Video

by Fabricari - 8:12 PM (link)

I made a video of me playin' some accordion. I'm far from qualified to say I can actually play the thing. So far, I've only recorded the left hand and right hand parts separate. Playing it live is a different matter.

I tried to work on a few lessons to day - it's a bitch to figure out. The most basic songs in the book are more advanced than what I'm playing here which is really just flailing the first five notes in A-minor. The base side is played with a real basic 1-4-5, too - they put all the buttons in a fifths progression.



The hardest part is keeping rythm with the push and pull of the bellows. I keep running out of air.

Not bad really! I've always been intimidated and impressed by the accordion. The number of buttons that thing has is just amazing. Nice job so far man, keep it up!

The more I learn about it, the more intimidated I get; but I'm happy that I've almost got a for-reals song learned on th' thing.
