As I mentioned in my earlier post regarding my recently purchased Grand Mamou accordion, I using the Dirk Powell videos as a learning tool. I find them very helpful. Does anyone have any recommendations for other instructional videos, and if so, what do you find different about them?
The other Cajun videos out there include a double set of videos by Marc Savoy and a another by Wilson Savoy. I'm not counting the ones by the big publishers. Marc's compares favorably with Dirk's. I'd be interested in feedback on Wilson's offering.
Don't forget Steve Riley's Beginner and Intermediate DVDs.
I like all of them (Steve Riley, Dirk Powell, Wilson Savoy, Marc Savoy) for different reasons. The trick to them is that some "intermediate" dvds are more "intermediate" than others.
If I had to categorize these DVDs by skill level/difficulty, I'd put them like this:
Advanced Intermediate:
Wilson Savoy's Intermediate Accordion
Marc Savoy's Gospel Accordion to Marc, Vol. 2
The Steve Riley and Wilson Savoy DVDs are available through almena pictures (wingingit had the link in his post). Marc Savoy's is available at the Savoy Music Center website.
