Re: Turn on your Love Light - Chubby - key, box

Only thing I have would be my fiddle, but I'm only used to playing 1, 4, and 5 on that. So, stuff off the beaten path will be more difficult.

I think he's playing this in Bb/F, based on some opening notes that didn't have the full band behind him.

So, that's F/Bb/Eb accordion, second position middle row, primarily.

I'm a limited musician with a limited ear.

Dwight, you have an FR-18.
Just keep changing the key until it is right.
It's not that many buttons to push

Re: Turn on your Love Light - Chubby - key, box

I'm not yet used to all the different patterns for getting notes out on the triple row. There's more options than a single row and I'm not yet where I can hear positions when someone is playing a triple row, unlike on a single row (sometimes).

used to do that in C on the F row [2nd position]

i think we used to do that in C on the F row [2nd position]

but i have never heard chubby;s version

it was just where the guitarist wanted to sing it, or it was a compromise between his voice and available accordion keys i had at the time, and his guitar solos
