I do not have tabs for this tune unfortunately. I originally learnt off sheet music which is now not a availble as I would like it to be. Glad you like my take on this! Hector.

[jahn39]

Very good! You did great solo. I am impressed!

[HectorAwol]

Thank you for your kind words! Hec.

Is that a two row or a three row button accordion? I am dying to learn how to play, and I've been looking on Ebay for something affordable, (under $400.00) . There are a lot of brand new three row accordions made by Bonetti.  Do I want to start w/ a two row or a three row? I would be playing tunes like what you are playing, I love Celtic music! :D Hearing you play this has got me so excited, I can't wait to learn how to play!

Hello, i'm from England. I use to play the melodion before i played the accordion. Where i live we have a day called mayday, a big festival with two bands playing accordions, melodions and drums. You can check out a video of it on my profile, it's in my favourites. I lived in Aus for a year, never came accross anyone playing folk music on wind instruments. It's good to see.

[jula27]

Brilliant, very well played, 5 stars. i play this on the accordion but a slightly different version mixed with the leaving of liverpool.

Isn't that a melodion though not a button accordion, i can;t see the other side but notice that it's one note out and one note in.

Anyway, a job well done keep it up!

Cheers

Jula

[HectorAwol]

Hi Jula,

Thank you for your comment. We call it a button accordion in Australia. It does have the push/pull action. Buttons on both sides. I have heard the term melodion but think that it is the same thing. What country are you from?

[kiwikazmoo]

woooohooooo!!!!!! I finally have found those bass runs!!!! I am soo excited. I must admit that I required the help of an piano accordion player at our music group meeting last night, but since I played your video on this morning and practised like crazy - I was finally able to match you.(sigh) Its like having to pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time though!!

[kiwikazmoo]

I love this! How are you workin the bass in the chorus? can you either try to explain or post another tube showing the bass, I would love to be able to do that run of bass notes.

[HectorAwol]

I simply do as much of the scale as I can using the bass. So if you were on a 'C/G' squeeze box, you would go C, D, E, then F and back down. You can achieve a scale by getting as far up as A (starting at C). Practice the 6 note scale using the bass. When every your music suggests a 'C' chord followed by an 'F', just put in C,D,E,F between the change of chords. Hope this helps. I hope to do another clip soon and I will feature the bass. All the best. Hector

[kiwikazmoo]

Thanks for the speedy reply! Another clip showing me which buttons you are using would be great, I can't read music so I am better off to be shown. I get what you mean about going c-f just need to know where the notes are. I have a CGF hohner corona III.

Other option is to explain the scale if you were to number the bass buttons and tell me if its a push/draw with the bellows. Cheers

[HectorAwol]

If you would like me to play a song and pop some extra bass in, you could always try me and request something :)
