My beloved Grandad, Mick Fearon of Rostrevor, Co. Down, was an excellent squeezebox man, and would entertain anyone who ever asked it of him.he loved his squeezebox and loved entertaining people with it. He died in 1997, and it s dearly missed. I have his squeezebox in our loft, and it's an insult to his memory. it deserve restoring and the reeds and valves replacing. He deserves that. Thank you, young man. you've inspired this Irishman to revive this beautiful instrument.
Absolutely amazing triplets in the first piece (I think that's what they're called), aka. that rapid tapping. The only thing that wasn't enjoyable about that, was repeatedly getting up from my seat, to go fetch my socks, since they had been blown off.
Indeed! Maybe you've already learned this but: in notation, triplets are essentially just a way of dividing beats into 3s that would normally divide into multiples of 2. So they can be at any speed, but they often manifest into jaunty, delightful ornaments in tunes like this. Triplet notation can involve rests and asymmetry too, e.g. if you were to notate very literally how "swung" notes are played in jazz, you'd likely be using a triplet with one longer and one shorter note (2/3rds and 1/3rd of the beat respectively) or a triplet with a rest in the middle. And I agree, these ones are excellent!
I just learned the first one of these from your video, thanks 🙂👍 And I also just figured out why I thought I had seen you before: you are on the Tim Edey dvd! 😁 Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
@@theparanoidandroid3583 not hard once it clicked in my brain. But I was practicing about 5 hours a day for the first month. My best advice is to listen to the song you are learning on repeat anytime you are away from the melodeon.
It's a D/G box, so broadly speaking the half row contains the notes that aren't in the keys of D or G to allow playing in other keys. There's more information about my layout here: paulyoungfolk.co.uk/layouts.html
Hi Paul, I am interested in using your version of this in a short educational video as background music during a scene in an Irish pub. Would you give permission for this? I would of course credit you completely for it in the credits, and on IMDB if you wish as Additional Music
That's a huge question! The short, over-simplified answer I always give is that if you only want to play traditional Irish tunes you're better off going for BC. If you want to play anything else as well (European, English, song accompaniments, Scandinavian...) then DG is better. The reason being that on a DG you can imitate some of the ornamentation that comes naturally on the BC, but on a two row BC there's not much you can do to imitate all the harmony options you have on a DG or GC.
If you want to learn to play it like this on DG I have a 41 minute video lesson on how to play the first tune here: boxlessons.gumroad.com/l/sallygardens?layout=profile

Absolutely beautiful music Paul. You are a true master on the box!👍

you should have just started to DANCE and JIG ABOUT
Hilarious !
Been requested this to be played at a funeral service for a man of Irish ancestry ~ beautiful !
Wow what a player , I will keep on practicing for ever and ever .........
This is beautiful music
Merci de nous enchanter avec votre musique !! Bravo.
Brilliant playing the box, Paul Young!
I love your style of playing Paul! Nice and bouncy, lovely bass. Tasty triplets too--wicked!
The embellishments are superb.
that was really excellent it5 makes me really want to learn this tune
Great playing!!
Greetings from Perú. Amazing melody, I love Irish reels.
You’re my go to musician to see how these tunes should be played.
Where can I buy song
I just learned the first one of these from your video, thanks 🙂👍
And I also just figured out why I thought I had seen you before: you are on the Tim Edey dvd! 😁
Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
Magnifique! Très bon joueur, ça donne envie de danser
He is aRrrrrrrrrr good Irish man
Great playing.
I find the air management the hardest thing to do with this tune. Hard to get air in on the pull when you have to so little time before a push
1 year later and I can play it no problems. I mean, not as sleek as this but still decent.
@@ya2121 Well done! Out of curiosity, how hard did you find it to learn the accordion? Asking for a friend ;)

Damn Dude, you got it. I´m fucking jealous.
I can see people dancing to this so clearly
Darn, now you point that out, it's really obvious, I agree ._.
What function does the inside row have ...how is it related to the other rows?
It's a D/G box, so broadly speaking the half row contains the notes that aren't in the keys of D or G to allow playing in other keys. There's more information about my layout here: paulyoungfolk.co.uk/layouts.html

Dude this made me so happy, thanks for sharing, you're amazing! I wanna play that too now hahaha :(
what can one say.......amazing
Une maitrise parfaite ! Une fluidité remarquable ! Vous êtes un exemple pour tous les accordéonistes passionnés de musique traditionnelle irlandaise.
Would a DG box with third row for accidentals or normal 23 BC box be better for solo playing ?
