Super! Professional!!

[pyrofella]

Nice - I love this tune...thanks

[EyerishEyesQQ]

Great job! I wish I could play ANY instrument, much less an accordion!

[EyerishEyesQQ]

Great job! I wish I could play ANY instrument, much less an accordian!

[willock1967]

I think you are awesome! 

[beervark]

Zijt gij familie van Tom Waits?

[goth18]

i like i i wish i could play accordeon like u !!!!!!!!!!

[bfgh96]

Look at his fingers... not pressing down the keys... this seems to obvious, almost like some sort of trap O.o

[thijs7]

@bfgh96 : if you sometimes stop the video, you will see that I press down the keys...

thijs

[Sanjidub]

@bfgh96 besides you can hear the tapping noise

[3dwurli]

@bfgh96 The keys are being pressed. You can also hear them clicking.

[Ranimal006]

@bfgh96 On good accordions you shouldn't have to press the keys very much at all to make a sound. The keys are not like a piano, there is less movement. Also, you do not want "low" keys for faster music, this is so the accordionist can move around they keyboard at ease.

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

@bfgh96 ...He is playing so I do not see why you think he is not! Get a new computer and keep up to speed!!!

[tommerrigan1956]

As good as "Turkey in the Straw"!

[willock1967]

This will always be good!!!!!!!!!!! Very good!

[Zega000]

[Herrschneider]

Mooi gedaan hoor :D

[willock1967]

True talent!

[willock1967]

Nice, I love the various octives.

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

This tune could be easily step-danced to!

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

This is a man who knows his music and can play it! Very well indeed...To ScotsmanRS, I agree with you about Americans...I'm proud to be Canadian! e lost a lot of young soldiers to a war we didn't want or need to be involved in.

[NowhereMan546]

Sláinte! Very well played.

[CarnalDiafragma]

hahah tof ook dat je wisselt tussen klanken

[mmordors]

Great job!

I'd like to see you smile when you play to show the personal fullfillment and enjoyment you must obviously get from playing so well ! ! !

[davnet13]

[tdhooge]

WELL DONE!!!! I love your music keep up the great job!!!!!

[ROGGY5]

I always think of the great Comedian Frank Carson when I hear this music! I also remember Snoopy doing an Irish jig to this - fantastically funny!

[pommeld]

very nice. ive bin playing accordion about 3 years irish style...any chance of emailing me the first 4/5 bars of the irish washerwoman plz.

[CZPCREW]

Great Its amazing Great beutyfull kurwa moj english is vel doskonały co nie kurwa?

[pyeinthesky]

Nice job done on this one, I play it on the button accordion and now trying the piano accordion, a bit different.

[ealumusic]

wow, do you have a cd available?

[w33gibby]

Yes I was wondering that as well?

I am really into pathetic accordion playing and shit music and I think ur great at both those styles!

[Nightmareclipsntunes]

Shut the fuck up you useless Brit.

This is why nobody likes the UK.

[ScotsmanRS]

After that stupid comment, I could easily say, "This is why nobody like the US". But unlike you, I don't make such ignorant generalisations. Instead, I'm going to say, "This is why nobody likes dumbasses."

[brainjesus]

Thank you for that.

[Danchor]

Beautiful music, You look like you really enjoy your music.

[islaystray]

do you know any other tunes

[adreneline8185]

WoW! That's great! How the heck do u know what buttons to press on the right without even looking (his left hand btw)

[funnycreep]

(in own little world).......^_^......love it.

[Yogart956]

I love the Irish Washerwoman! You did a fine job! Are you reading notes?

[thijs7]

thanks, no I am not reading notes here. I just play it by head

[Dragon1813]

@thijs7 Aint nothin wrong with that. Good Job!

[bexflorence]

What on earth?!!

[cocklesandmussels]

Very nice. However, shouldn't each part be played twice through (in every version I've seen, at least)?

[thijs7]

Yes you're right. Perhaps I'll make a new version of it in the future.

[CaptainWillJackSparr]

still my all time favorite ^^

[4wonderland]

wow your good

[thefoxandhound]

Look, not being funny but why the fuck did you post this on youtube??? You cant play worth a shit and your really not doing the music justice. If you want to see what it should be played like, type in graeme mackay or someone of that standard and then think again before clogging up youtube with this pish!!!!!!!!

[Repperil]

SHut up, post a better version (yourself playing) or shut up!

[w33gibby]

finaly sum1 with sence this guy is shite

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

Very good tempo, and octave change on the registers, 5/5+

[TheNewfieFella]

Great playing,,Brightend up my day sir,,thank you.

[apfelstrudelmaster]

wow. i think you're playing the accordion really great. you have real talent and i love irish/celtic music.

[robhenderson40]

Nice playing...but did you put lots of vidoes of yourself playing it together?

[thijs7]

yes in the beginning I put parts together, for changing the 'stop'. The last ones are one part.

[theSTAR70]

favorited

[chrisdxuk]

really enjoy your playing and thanks for the tips posted below.

[Aragonos2]

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

[Sunriseatnoon]

very nice..ty!!

[thijs7]

Thijs is a dutch name. A short name of Matthias or Matheus (thias,(theus)= thijs).

When I was young some called me Thijs van leer.. as a joke... ;-)) Focus was very famous when I was young...

[thijs7]

I enyoy it! But it is the concentration that makes me 'serious' Next time I try to smile more...

[AccordionTonyIsBack]

Your still thr best!!!, AccordionTony

[pyeinthesky]

wow love it, great rendition of the song.

[AaronShaunBrennan]

AWSOME! How Long Have you Been Playing?

[thijs7]

thank you. I got a few years lessons, when I was a child. At about 14 years ago I've started again. I play at marriages etc. The exercise is I think listen to the moments where it is going wrong and what is going on then. If you can play it slowly well, than you can accelerate. Concentration on your playing is very important..

[AccordionTony]

This is the best version of: The Irish Washerwoman, I have ever had the pleasure of listening to on the Accordion. You never skipped a note...It is perfect ! You are very professional,and I'm sure you would qualify as a world championship accordionist !

[thijs7]

Thank you very much!! No, I don't see myself as a world champion accordionist. It is also not perfect. I hope in a few month's to put a better version here. I will answer your mail in a few days. I am very busy now

[AccordionTony]

Excellent job dude! 5 star...

[zombie7272]

cool!

[Ulk4656]

Gaelic^^

[Rastalove00]

Geweldig geluid !!

[arnoschults1984]

Thijs... geweldig... dit is 1 van mijn favoriete nummers hoop dat je hem perfect krijgt.

[thijs7]

Ja over een paar maanden hoop ik 'm een stuk beter te hebben. 't is eigenlijk een kwestie van je vingers trainen en de concentratie. En dat heeft bij dit soort nummers tijd nodig.Op snelheid in concentratie moeten je vingers dan geheel gewillig zijn en dat zijn ze nog niet.

[CaptainWillJackSparr]

I LOVE IT YOU ARE AN ACCORDION GOD!!!

[thijs7]

it's not perfect, but thank you very much!
