  • As a total accordion n00b, this did teach me a few basics that I didn't previously know. Sorry you think it's terrible shabila, but so far I've had a hard time finding videos on the fundamentals of playing this instrument.

  • Thanks so much for this! Very much appreciated....just what I was looking for when I found my accordion after 35 years....

  • A chord has 2 or more notes. The video seems okay, but is quite childish.

  • @mistersneak just an advice since i play 9 years...dont make the accordion when u play sound like its out of breath..it sounds bad like the accordion has HIC lala HIC...i dont know if u understand..just an advice i dont try to be smart...i hope u like the accordion im in love with it :P

  • You have no idea how you helped me. I loved your class. I used to play when I was younger and know I decided to learn again and already order an accordion. while I am waiting I am learning with you and you are very detailed and very good teacher. Thanks. When I get my accordion I am already ahead. thanks. Lucy

  • This is exactly what I needed to see; how to correctly play the bass note then the chord, with the left hand. Thanks!

  • FUCK the way this guy states the obvious is so annoying!
