How to Alternate the Bass on the Accordion

Video Transcript

JUDE PARRY: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Jude Parry. I'm with Gold Coast Theater Company here in Miami Beach, and today we're going to be learning beginning accordion. Okay, now, this is a very important lesson on the accordion. This is called alternating the basses. We're working with the left hand on the bass keyboard. And before, we were mostly doing a note C, C Major, or G. But now, we are going to be doing [PLAYS ALTERNATING BASS], and that's why we used, as I explained in one of the earlier lessons, these 3 fingers because it's much easier to do alternating basses with these 3 fingers than only these 2 fingers, which mean you'd have to do this. Tricky. So these are much easier. Now, the alternating basses that makes a very typical sound that you hear from the accordion.
