Re: Easy to see triple row videos on YouTube????

Maybe you could try typing foreign zydeco players' names you don't know of in the U.S. into YouTube; or their band's name. Like Gavin Lewery (Zydeco Active), Chris Hall (Cajun Roosters), Didier Lonjard (Zarico Playboys)... They mainly use a one-row but also, sometimes, a triple row (if I remember well - I'm not a Zydeco fan).

Re: Easy to see triple row videos on YouTube????

I recall having found some Zydeco Joe (Mouton)
videos where he's playing to the camera, solo.

Have you seen those?

Re: Easy to see triple row videos on YouTube????

I know of one, but camera is mostly on people's faces. I'll try to check out more.

Re: Easy to see triple row videos on YouTube????

Here's one that I took of Li'l Wayne on a GCF. This is a cool progresion. I haven't played it in awhile. if you have trouble pickin' up on it let me know and I'll go over it tonight and break it down for you. Nice video work even if i do say so myself. Link 1.
On link 2 is a vid of Andre Thierry I took on the Roland. it is hard to see but it is a virtual Rosetta stone of triple note work. If you search around on youtube there are plenty of Andre who is a phenominal player and the master of all accordions (piano, single and triple note) IMHO. enjoy. This video is much clearer on my ipad for some reason.
link 3 is pretty clear but good luck trying to cop these licks. This is why he is Andre and I am not!!!

Link 1 Beast of Burden by Dwayne Dopsie, Rockin Dopsie's son.

Link 2 L'Argent lesson.

Re: Easy to see triple row videos on YouTube????

Thanks, I've incorporated some of these. I saw that L'Argent one, but didn't think it particularly useful since you never got a sense of what the song sounded like.

That guy needs to deal with his sound issues too. He's got another one with no sound at all, and he's just left it up there.

Re: Easy to see triple row videos on YouTube????

Dwight,

Here's one from Lil Nathan..a simple ( to some ! ) triple row repetitive/reponse type riff in true Zydeco fashion , then he takes off with some pretty interesting ' licks' and runs as the video progresses. Vision is half decent...but hey...
