Re: Re: Playing in the Cardassian mode

RPr,

Maybe it is evedent by now, but I'm planning on
putting together a Cajun Accordion beginners lesson
DVD.

My first thought was to include a couple of
statements about what keys that one can play
in on the diatonic accordion in "C".

That's why I was asking about modes.

But, I'm starting to think that all that may be
confusing to someone who is not familiar?

Thanks agian,

Re: Playing in the Cardassian mode

Nick,

For the rank beginner I think just playing a C box in G is daunting enough. The lack of an F sharp and crossed cords takes some getting used too, especally if they have had any formal music training.

It is safe to say that your web site downloads have shown you have the knack for presenting the information needed to get one started.

All that said, perhaps your second video for the more advanced players, could have a section on playing in alternate keys on the diatonic box.

Good Luck,
