Thanks Dallas!

Tommy Gumina’s free bass system makes the most sense IMO and is the easiest to learn. It’s similar to Titano extended stradella system, except the lowest octave is nearest the left edge. When you go up to the next octave(s) you do not have to skip over a counterbass row, so it’s easier to play smooth scales and arpeggios. The downside was that you could not make a “converter” accordion that could switch to stradella. Nick Ariondo is the only guy I know of that plays it

This ist too much talking adjusting selfreliant awfull

It’s great to see you explaining the bass side of the accordion. But for a beginner I think it’s a little too advanced. Thanks for sharing.

All the things you are

Bring me the tunes, man. I'm 5 minutes into your b.s. and, oh there it is. Now I hear ya.

Thank you so much for this Dallas! This is such valuable technique that you shared from the workshops.

came for knowledge , stayed for meow mix commercial

Nice sound!

Came for the cellist 😆

To much talk yuk

To much talk yuk

Are the classes recorded and available?

Thanks for your help! Great player! Super accordion 🪗 🎉

You need an intro, I almost didn't catch the name of the app 😅

You should check Øivind Farmen's system for thumb use

14:07 Cool I'll use this!

Good morning , my name is not Steve ,, but Thank so much for helping out ,, very good tutorial video

Fantastic arrangement ideas. Love your setting too.

The 3 guys playing „over the rainbow“ are using a very old and published arrangement by George Shearing note by note. Sorry, but Shearing and his piano sounds better.

Are you still doing those classes? I am interested

great stuff!!!!!

Great musical lectures, you can learn a lot and watch the game of Jazz and swing.👍✌👌

Thanks so much, very interesting and helpful video. It's difficult to find good video about technical approch of jazz with accordion

Love the Vallenato, thanks! Back in the day the “cartridge” converted the movement of the “needle” to an analog electrical signal. Album “covers” were known for their “cover art,” often as notable as the music, think “Tapestry” or “Who’s Next.” Blast from the past!

Thank you for sharing your tutorial.

This is the best youtube tutorial on jazz for the accordion. One of the reason being that it is the only one :-) Jokes aside, this is really good stuff.

Do you have a recommendation for an android app?

I have an Android and it's not available. It looks like a great app. I'm going to see what else is available.

Dallas!

Neato!

Hello. This is a good example of the accordion being a good instrument to play. Thank you for posting this

Joe can write a tune. Sounds great.

Cool Master

Nice video! And thank you for the information. What model is your Sonola accordion ?

This is such great information and serves as a reminder to keep using these techniques. Your teaching style really clicks with me. Oh, and the Meow Mix! Fantastic.

I am just learning this plus extended harmony.

I play the piano as well as accordion. The ability to learn a bass pattern and be able to move it to any key without changing fingering has the accordion beating the piano hands down! When I first started a master accordionist told me I’d have a bit of a hard time going from controlling dynamics via finger pressure (on the piano) to bellow-based. He told me from the start, “punch those bass buttons and keep them short presses”. This jives with your “no legato” advice. He also told me to keep that bass strap tight… which is great for strolling, but it prevents me from sliding my hand up and down the rows like you do. I’m rethinking that advice now! Your videos like this one are super helpful!

Very helpful! Thank you RisingReed

Excellent 👍 music 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶👏 like 💯💯 video 📸 🔥🤟🔥🤟 Bravo 👏 my friend 🙏 💃🎶💃💯💃💯🤩👈 thanks you 😄

Great tune! Than you!

Totally cool. Heard Joe play this with ‘Ball & the Quintet many times Live!

Thanks so much for posting. After the live stream I was like “I wish I could watch that again”.

Thanks Dallas! Your guidance is really helpful as I strengthen my skills on playing jazz standards on the accordion 🪗

Looks like you're having a lot of fun, Dallas. Ciao from Melbourne 😉

I just love how you are explaining your thoughts… it’s really helpful! But where can I buy an accordion like yours that has all the right notes because mine seems to have a lot more wrong notes than yours!?! ;)

That was me that made the comment! I feel like you shouted out to me! So cool!

Thanks Dallas! This is an awesome tutorial.
