Thank you! There are a few similar videos on my channel - e.g. ua-cam.com/video/j3YpgM-IfRM/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/uH8U4mPy6H4/v-deo.html, and ua-cam.com/video/UlLpiU3ZH50/v-deo.html
no fooling around, you always get right to the point with what needs to be learned without wasting time. Thank you so much, re-learning accordion, and gonna watch all your videos.
Hi - Yes it's a cheat really! There is only one octave of bass notes on a Stradella Bass so you play the same thing twice. Interestingly because each bass note on most accordions has 4 or 5 reeds all an octave apart, it's hard to hear the lowest note. So it just sounds as if it's going on up or on down as you pass the join. If you listen carefully you will hear that on this accordion the lowest note is actually a D!
Yes - you got it - the scale is just played twice but the ear hears it as continuing which I always like - there is more about this on my "what's your lowest note" video: ua-cam.com/video/PJk0YmtVArc/v-deo.html
42-4-53-53-4-35-35-4-24 (hyphen b/t every change from bass to counterbass) question: if i learned diffnt fingering is it better to re-learn this one? it seems this one will make me use more strength in my 4th and fifth fingers...
This is interesting. I'd love to see some real fingering advice for all situations. I was taught to stick with just two fingers (index and middle) for bass runs. My biggest issue is when making large jumps upward (while strolling), I can't easily get my hand back down where it belongs, so I end up having the bass strap super tight. I kind of which there were thumb notches on the bottom below the bass keys so I can get a better grip while strolling. Gravity, ugh.

Excellent presentation. Concise and to the point. Easy to understand and well articulated. Great job! More, please!

Best comment, on point
George Whitfield This Major Scale can be played in All 12 keys, & this system can transpose.
You have a way with explaining that makes it so simple
This is the best way to show it.
Thx 👍
Exactly what I needed. Well done and many thanks!
and 5 years later exactly what I needed too.
Brilliant. This makes so much sense.
Much more logical than other explanations! Thanks :-)
Thanks. this is what I have been looking for. Much appreciated
Hi George. Awesome lesson cheers . Dave accordion
Two octaves but you fingers did not stretch out at all. How does that work?

@@georgeaccordion Very cool auditory illusion!
@@alexarango Thanks Alex, there is a video here about the lowest note thing... ua-cam.com/video/PJk0YmtVArc/v-deo.html
@@georgeaccordion Wow, thanks for sharing, George! Your video blew my mind!
thank you! this fingering tip helps!
Brilliant
Super clear ❤
Is it possible to play a two octave range c major scale on stradella bass or must you repeat the same c scale twice?
Yes - you got it - the scale is just played twice but the ear hears it as continuing which I always like - there is more about this on my "what's your lowest note" video: ua-cam.com/video/PJk0YmtVArc/v-deo.html
Hey, please make a video on over scales! Unless they are all the same, just need hand adjusting
Yes you are right - for other scales the "shape" is the same so if you start on a D the scale will be D etc.

I think different fingerings are good - when you are playing actual music rather than scales it pays to have options!
