Dean Warner on Piano Accordion

[lamargreenleaf]

Most Irish reel players are using diatonic button accordions with one or two rows. Since each button plays two notes, one on the bellows push and another on the pull, their trebble hands don't have to move as much, but the bellows hand has to keep changing direction. As to ease of play the piano accordion looks easier to me, but as cold and damp as Ireland is, I'm thinking about the valves sticking.

[accrag]

so nimble on the fingers great stuff love it. thanks

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

can someone explain to me how to play the basses to get this celtic sound? I usually play the basses as i would do with a mazurka or a valzer... But this way is completely different

[FolkAccordeon]

there are probably a few differences:

- first: he uses a 'high register' without a deep bass-sound.

- second, he often leaves out the 'ground-bass' (so he only plays the chord-bass on the second and fourth count). this way you get the accents on the two and the four, which is characteristic for reels.

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

thank you so much! my accordion is 65 years old, it hasn't got registers for basses :( :( WTF xD

Anyway, I understood the way of playing...I will try, thanks... I hope I will manage to without losing the rythm

[mename3isme]

@BlackFolkAndPiano

It's really characteristic of jazz drummers to only accent the 2 and 4 beats and it's known for actually aiding in the rhythm keeping of the band.

Accenting 2 and 4 should actually help you out once you get used to it.

Played the accordion for many years, and never got this good. What a true virtuoso

[LBcoyote]

When I look at him I see that it is very hard for him to play. I suppose several more years of practice would get him into the state where he wouldn't have to look at the keyboard any more and where he would smile when he plays because this is such a beautiful song. Only when you don't have to think about the technique but feel the song and play effortlessly then you are a true virtuoso...

Just some examples:
