Graham, this is wonderful. Your playing continues to inspire me. I have been away for a long time in Asia but I am back. Any chance we can swap some tunes?? I would love the music to this one and I can send you sometihng in return perhaps??
Hi Keith, I'm afraid I have very little in the way of music. Most of my playing is done by ear. I arrange the chords using band in a box software & simply follow them when I'm playing. I can read a bit and use some music for Scottish tunes but I'm afraid that's all
A very nice tune indeed. I got an old accordion belong to my mom, but sadly it's out of tune on several keys so I never mess around with it very much. :3
I have been playing accordion since 1941 and I still can't play by ear. To memorize a song is long and arduous, but with music I can play anything. Your tecnique is outstanding. I enjoyed your concert. Thank you.
That's the elkavox 83 that's in the pic. The F3 came later as it had factory fitted midi. I had an F3 for many years and the generator packed in. I've now got the 83 and I'm using it just as straight box now along with different software
what's the name of this song? where can i get sheet music? currently all i know on the accordion are folk tunes and polkas, really appreciate the sound of these regional tunes
It depends on how serious you want to be with it. For example if you want to get to concert level, then you need to practise 8 hours per day. If you simply want to be good enough to earn some money then you still need to practise daily and also try & play tunes without music. When you can play without music you can play tunes people ask for. It takes years of study to fully understand AN instrument and the accordion is no exception. Time effort anf you've got to love what you're doing also
nice work--I have great respect for ear players--Iam more of pianist but still play an old imperial at times--dont let the notes get in the way eh? Xlnt!
hello Graham, this is fantastic...and so v-E-ry stylish! I've only played musette tunes from sheet music, but without ornamentation written out..it sounds rather dull and lifeless. I love your last variation...totally rocks!!
