@cajunpicker. A? chord requires just three chord 1-3-5 Adding a d to the F chord will make it a f6 chord....Nice instructions but get your facts straight, this will lead to confusions...look it up

Great lesson! I'm new to Cajun accordian and this? is exactly what I wanted to know at the outset here.
By: signofthebeast666. on 02 Feb 11, 22:52:02
Very basic, but well done! it's got me inspired! I'm? gonna try to find a reasonably priced diatonic accordian. Thanks!
By: signofthebeast666. on 02 Feb 11, 22:41:36
@fogboxer: a chord requires 1,3,5 ... and 6??? wtf? A? major chord is 1-3-5... that's all. sheesh.
By: eyeball226. on 01 Oct 10, 02:06:42
I just realised that you're contradicting yourself. You say a chord is 4 tones and that C is CEGA (I disagree with you here). Then you refer to the chords on the bass which are quite clearly triads. I don't? dispute your ability, but your grasp of musical language is somewhat lacking/confused.
By: eyeball226. on 01 Oct 10, 01:58:16
A chord does not necessitate 4 tones. A triad is a chord.?
By: gainesvilleblues. on 14 Aug 10, 20:00:55
I had Marc Savoy make me a cajun accordion back in the 90's. I played it a number of times (I was a total beginner), but eventually put it away? because I found that my fingers could not reach the entire keyboard without a lot of effort. No one ever explained to me that my thumb should be on the side rather than braced against the back. I'm getting out my accordion again thanks to this video. There is hope yet. Thanks!

Fantastic! Great!. Marvellous! Unique! By the way of music I want to show you what musicians of Brazil and Argentina and Paraguay are doing in folklore music with a accordion and other musical instruments.

Thank you Cajunpicker for the video. If I want to find out more about these diatonic and concertina type instruments, are there forums or sites that you? could recommend? Thank you.

Thanks for the insight! I was wondering how, what and when?? Great for me...the wanna be! Still might buy? one! Thanks for sharing! Bernie Bjkaboom
By: CajunPicker. on 28 Jun 10, 13:47:32
As I am sure you are aware, a chord requires four tones. Anything less would be referred to as a triad, or partial. A chord? consists of the 1, 3,5 and 6 of a scale, In this case, the D is the 6 note of the F major scales; therefore it is a partial F chord. Also used extensively in Cajun music. Thanks for your interest.
By: CajunPicker. on 28 Jun 10, 13:45:24
Understand that this video is not intended to verse beginning accordion players in chord theory. It is intended to help them understand what buttons work where? and why. The Mardi Gras song, the only song in Cajun music that is played in A minor, requires this blend and it must played when the guitar, or rhythm section is playing the A minor chord. While I am aware that the D is not in the A minor chord, it is in the scale and is necessary when applied here.
By: fogboxer. on 28 Jun 10, 08:50:12
You also inaccurately? say at 7:18 that by using the 7-8 on a pull, you can play a partial F chord, when the notes you are playing are D and F. This could be a D Minor chord or a Bb major chord, but not an F chord, either major or minor, as there is no "D" note. Other than that, interesting video!
By: fogboxer. on 28 Jun 10, 08:49:08
There are several inaccuracies in this video which may confuse inexperienced musicians. You say at 6:42 that a 5-7 pull will imply a D chord or an A minor chord. The notes you're playing are D and A, which are found in a D major or D minor chord but NOT found in an A minor chord.? The D note is not present in an A minor chord.

thanks for making this video, I found my father's? old hohner german 10-key and was interested in learning how it is played. This video was really helpful.
By: FrolleinFlicki. on 12 May 10, 07:49:43
Interesting video! For me as a piano player/piano accordionists it's hugely impressive that people can feel satisfied with 2 chords on the left all their lives! :-) I'm quite sure we don't have cajun accordions here in Germany, though...?
