I like it!! Hey , that 's a 12 bass you've got there!!! LOve it. says Judy Corrette

I just realized how fitting it is that the first Disney song he included in one of these is the one from the film where the main character has an accordion.

Hi

Hi

It still sounds lovely, despite its size.

I don't know much about the accordion, but I stumbled across this stream. I'm a huge Weird Al fan, and it was a lot of fun to watch you figure your way through this song.

So very true, Ronen. It's so much better to play with at least one other friend. 🪗❤

I wish i could not play alone sometimes. Would be cool to play songs i like playing/that i know with other ppl. Frankly tho im not too great with...improvisation or knowing proper scales and stuff. I can play scales but if you walked up to me and said "lets play 'insert song here' in the key of D" i know what note D is, but i have no clue what the other notes are😅 thats 1 of the reasons i also kinda...dont like playing with others. When a musician approaches me, i have 0 concept of proper music theory and i sorta clam up and dont know what to do and it sounds awful😅

I have started learning and practicing weird Al’s polkamania, and on the topics of today’s video, what I want to do is hope I can find another musician and me and them can be friends and we subconsciously teach eachother by playing with eachother perhaps bi weekly or monthly or whatever timeframe, because music is a language and a love letter to ourselves

“If music is a language… we’ve been talking to ourselves.”Excellent!

When are you picking up that Hohner Pokerwork in the background?

That video where you taught Laura to play Forest Flowers is a really good one. I hope I will be able to learn and teach like that one day. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zt-TdLidnJyUe4U.htmlsi=XIjz81POomgcB4QQ

I was supposed to meet a fellow musician this week but the plans fell through... and it made me think how much I adore playing with others. I hope this message resonates with you.

I see the setup has evolved very slightly over the years

This is a great concept. I never really thought about it before.

That was so much fun! 12:11 Weird Al Polkamania - Introduction

I love you I've been searching for this

Love watching the master at work! Thank you for the great exposition, I learned a lot 😁

Awesome, that's why I want to learn to bring life and happiness to people.

Call me in need of accordion rosette blue 301 922 0682😊 u good little musican u look like me rite chords love bobby

😀❤️👌

I’m hoping one day you could do a video on one of the weird Al polkas, as I think it would be interesting to learn how that Zany, energetic, comedy work is done, most optimally I think either “Polkas on 45” or “Polkarama”

In most of Europe we call them simply button accordions. When we talk about cromatic accordions we refer to that the tone is the same for both bellow directions. Versus the diatonic accordion, where the tone shifts when bellow directions changes.. Button accordions are very common in Europe.

Happy, I found your channel..... You are showing how capable the accordion actually is.

Nicely done, Ronen! One of my favorite progressions. For those who are having trouble with the I to vi, then vi to IV (left hand), here's a little "hack" that works for nearly all of these tunes. Play the 1 chord, then hop up to the 6 minor. That's skip two rows, right? Now, the big jump is three rows down to the 4 chord. Instead, simply slide down one and play the 2 minor chord. The progression then becomes I - vi - ii - V(7), and the only jump is between the I and the vi. Most folks can't tell the difference in sound; there's a music theory reason for that, which maybe you can explain in a later episode. Cheers!

Magnificent performance. Brought tears to my eyes. ♥

Can you make video with playing Clarinet Polka?

😀❤️👌

😀❤️👌

That is so cool! :D

Hello, everyone from Bensalem, Pennsylvania

1,6,4 , 5 seems so easy, just takes practice ! Thankyou Ronen, great tutorial 👍

Thank you Ronen.. from Rojer Kajol, Malaysia 🤩 👏👏👏🌹🌹🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤

This is so awesome! I’ll definitely give it a try!

Ronen, are you actually playing the minor chord for the 6 on the left hand. I'm still having issues finding it in time. Since I'm playing the proper minor chord with my right hand, can I substitute the counter bass button for the chord on my left hand which I can hit more accurately?

Gotta love the wise words from Martin! Thanks so much

i m beginner, it s really interesting watch your videos

Super demonstration. Thanks for all your help. So many resources and amazing lessons on Accordion Love website.

That also works on reverse! I was looking for a way to "damp" the sound of my left hand, and thanks to this video I remembered that, if i played the bass notes on legato you can get that "relaxing and dreamy" feeling that i couldn't get with my staccato playing

Which accordian is low rate available?give your guidance

Well done!

Excellent playing ❤

Another awesome cultural journey! Ronen, are you able to identify the right hand layout of this accordion? I'm fascinated by the idea all the semi-tones are linear... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMVzdc-e1diVZ6M.html

Wait, if I'm ever walking down the street and a rockabilly band asks me to jump in...that'll be a great day
