the first video from which I understood the accordion buttons! I was trying to learn piano, but this looks good.. you just need two buttons to play a chord! and it sounds good 2! thanks!

Thanks! You're the best instrument instructor I've seen on YouTube. No long, boring explanations, you get right to the point. Thanks! My fiance surprised me with a simple 12-button accordion that I picked up and had a ball playing by ear at a pawn shop (I'm a pianist)! Together we figured out the circle of 5ths and the fact they're root and the thirds, but now that I watched your vid, I think I'm already ready for a full-sized accordion! Thanks again!!! I'm going to watch all your vids.
