This is intended for beginners learning "La Nopalera" on a diatonic accordion. The video covers the G scale in thirds (GB, AC, BD, CE, DF#, EG, F#A, GB) and the first part of the song. The second part will appear in a separate video.
Accordion players who are interested in this style of music (Tex-Mex, Conjunto) are encouraged to go to www.reyesforo.com where you'll find excellent resources and answers to your questions.
"La Nopalera" can be found on the Homespun Tapes DVD and CD called "Tex-Mex Accordion" which features Tim Alexander, Flaco Jimenez, and Max Baca. Please note that the Homespun Tapes misspells the title as "La Napolera;" however, the correct spelling is "La Nopalera."
The accordion in this video is a Hohner Panther in the key of GCF (sol in Spanish).

Good observation. I learned to play the song before I learned the G scale in thirds. That said, it's important for beginners to understand that on a diatonic accordion the same note can often be played on more than one button depending on the direction of the bellows (pulling or pushing). It just so happens that B/D is easier to play in this song by pushing on the G row than pulling on the C row. But you can play it either way. In fact, learning both ways is a great practice exercise.

I fixed the closed captioning (cc) -- the English subtitles -- today. So now it's easier to understand what I'm saying. You can also change the language of the subtitles to Spanish, Greek, Italian, Chinese, etc. Hope it helps.

Thanks! Excellent video! The tex-mex button layout is unusual in Brazil, so it's hard to find a teacher and learn new songs.

This was much easier to follow than the homespun tape. Do you know of any other sites to look into since reyesforo is defunct?

Thanks, I just got the book and thought they'd have a diagram for the chords but they just meant the actual musical notation. I think you are playing the b/d in the song different than in the scale lesson -- you show it in the scales as a pull on the c row but then play it in the song as a push on the g row?

I got a Fa accordion. I know the song is originally done with a GCF accordion. Can I still play it the way you teach it with my FA accordion "

@happyboxtop 3 жыл бұрын

I suspect you've figured out the answer by now (3 years later) -- but yes! Just follow along with the same buttons and the same pushes and pulls. It will be the same melody, but in a different key. Keep playing!
