The reason I made this video is because I had giving up playing completely. I stopped playing an was wishing that someday someone else would pick up where I stopped. This model accordion is still new to many latinos an the Mexican Raza, if you decide to play this box you will be one of the few I know, Oscar Hernandez, David Lee Garza an Conjunto Bernal in his younger days.

  • I had the chance to try out a chromatic accordion a some years ago. I first learned by ear and practice the acoustic guitar, then the bass, bajo sexto, some keyboard, a bit of drums, but one thing I loved was learning this specific accordion. My style is norteño and one thing that I loved a lot about this one is that you don't have to have 3 accordions to covers all ranges of voice. For people with music schooling this might look dumb, but for us is the best thing. Thanx bro, great video!

  • @hdzspider Thankyou, I am actually thinking about making more videos, just with scales only. I can play over a hundred scales, mabe someone can put them to use?

  • Sorry, but the lessons in this accordion beginns, in the USA, and over the world!

    You try the Tex Mex bandoneon lessons gievn.....! This type of accordions are made in Italia, than you must play like a italian manufacteurs, or if you want another system of cordeless, you have a Oriental accordion, Belgian accordion, or Balcan accordion!!!!! Learn more accordion and go away!!!!!!

  • @AldeiaDaOrca Then you must buy a plan ticket an come teach in the USA, if thats the way you feel.....

  • No!!! Sorry but is not correct!

    The C Griff (DÓ M) is in the first lane, RE, in the 3 lane, MI in the 2 lane etc. If I want learn Chromatic Accordion I beginn like that; DÓ-RÉ-MI-FÁ-SOL-LÁ-SI-DÓ and I learn correct, or not? Yours sistems is not correct! In Europe we play that models of accordions and we d`ont learn like this demonstration! Sorry.....!!!!

  • @AldeiaDaOrca Only in Europe, they have accordion teachers all over the place, but in the big giant United States an all trew out Mexico, you are on your own. There or no teachers. I play with both hands, I use my thumb for C in the first row and I read music. Now lets see you come to the United States an try an give lessons, in both English an Espanol. This video, helps people know what dirrection the keys go in but it does not cover the finger system, sorry.....
