I learned « Bear dance » next year. I really prefer your way to play this « mélodie ». Merci pour cette version. Et pour les autres aussi. Simple, agréable. So sweet...
Thanks for this helpful play-along session! I’m trying to improve my melideon playing: to learn how to play chords on the off beat sometimes, and to learn some new ornamentation ideas. This is a great way to practice!
Hi Paul! Thank you so much for this video - and all your other wonderful videos. If I ever make the decision to start playing the melodeon seriously, you're going to have played a substantial role in that. If you ever felt like doing more videos like this, I'd certainly love to see them. I don't remember the exact tune you played in another video I enjoyed equally as much - but you basically kept adding layers onto a simple tune, and that seems like a great format as well. Right now I'm just listening, but if I ever do start playing those would be very helpful as well. There's another thing as well - you've played some french tunes as well, and I know so little about that tradition and that music, and I find it difficult to find information about it - it's not as easy as with English and Irish music, for instance. That might be another thing to explore - tunes or similar in the Blowzabella-end of the spectrum. :) Either way, thanks for making these. They're fantastic.
Fantastic! I love this video and these songs! Thank you! Could you please do one on playing with the left hand on a D/G melodeon? My left hand and the concept of rhythm even is very foreign to me. I’m used to trying to pinpoint and copy the melody……but rhythm is new!
I cannot help but notice you play some tunes with a definite Cajun flavour with the syncopation and twirls. Cajun is my favourite. I am sure you can do it. Can you please do a rip roaring yes haa Cajun tune for us? I would love to learn that. Pete
Hi Paul, really enjoyed this and very useful for a beginner DG player to have a set of session tunes to build towards. I'd really like it if you could do a similar video of beginner DG Irish tunes in the same fashion. Thanks again, Henry
Thanks for these Paul, two turns I’d love to learn on DG box are The Man In The Brown Hat, and Horizonto. May be a bit ambitious but I can dream. Happy new year to you.
What a great idea. Thank you so much! I know the notes are widely available but would it be possible to get hold of notes with ‘tabs’ to indicate fingering etc?
1:19 - Shepherd's Hey
4:54 - Bear Dance
8:40 - Balance The Straw
12:18 - Old Tom Of Oxford
17:42 - Plane Tree
21:38 - Speed The Plough
Very good to play along with
What a great video Paul, thank you so much for taking the time to do it, it is very much appreciated. Yes please for more of the same.
Yes! Appreciated also from south of France.
Awesome Playing ....

Great stuff Paul! 🙏
Not a beginner, but *always* learning! So much to learn from hearing you play x
Thanks very much! I enjoy your videos.

Really enjoyed your version of Shepherds Hey wonderful right now on to the rest !
I would love to see a GC version of this, or at least know what short list of beginner songs for GC you would play for a similar video.

Cajun is my favourite.
I am sure you can do it.
Can you please do a rip roaring yes haa Cajun tune for us?
I would love to learn that.

Thanks! More of the same please maybe with a few Québécois and Cape Breton (similar style = simple) tunes. Happy New Year!!!😎✌️🌞🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

Nice to hear these tunes played well. Some comments on the bass would be great, how to get that sparse sound.
I think his recent video on bass for B/C could point you in the right direction re: varying your bass/chord technique
@@JayNewberyy Thanks, yes - that B/C video is just as applicable to D/G
I love this! Have u got any jigs that i can play on a CF melodeon?
Thanks for these Paul, two turns I’d love to learn on DG box are The Man In The Brown Hat, and Horizonto. May be a bit ambitious but I can dream. Happy new year to you.
Excellent..thank you
What a great idea. Thank you so much! I know the notes are widely available but would it be possible to get hold of notes with ‘tabs’ to indicate fingering etc?
....also I wonder how long that strap is? My strap is at full length and I still can’t seem to rest it comfortably on my knee like this!
Thanks Paul, great Videos. What do you think about the dutch reversal tuning or the Belgium? Do you play ist also?
Eddy
More of these please!
thank you it helped me a lot
Brilliant! Many thanks.
what model melodeon is that ?
Ciao io mi chiamo manuel atzeni sono sardo appassionato anchio do organetto
Sei un grande complimenti 👍👍
🙂
If you fancy doing the same with GC tunes, I'd be here like a shot.
It's on the to-do list.
Yes please. Till that one comes I do enjoy watching this however. Still amazing content.
