Sight Reading & Playing Accordion in E Flat Major Part 4

So now we are here I'm measurement 9 and we have a chord change again we are back here we are in B flat 7 so that is our 5,7. So we are going to go up a notch with that root chord, 5th chord and then we go to A flat 7 and then back to E flat. So 5,4,1 and then this melody line we have this nice little melody line right here that is 6 and this is 1,2 and this is a triplet rhythm here. So you notice we have 8th notes here 2 8 notes usually equals a beat 1 and 2, 1 and 2 and but this is a triplet so we have 3 of these equals a beat so it is 1 and 2 and 3 and the 4 and 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and you would here how that sounds with the accordion. We are going to play that it starts right here it goes 6,1,2,6,1,2,6,1,2, then 6 down to 5 and then it goes 5,6,2,5,6,2,5,6,2. So nice easy patterns falls really easy on the keyboard. So we have here is our E flat. Then we go back to our main motif so here is our that minor again you can watch my fingers as I go through start right here on 6 and those are our last 4 measures in accordion love of blues.
