This is exactly what I have been looking for. Trying to play any of the jazz standards, we are confronted with chord requirements that aren't "off the rack". So we have to custom-build them, and you have really given us a very nice toolkit to use in building them. This is a big leap, and I don't yet understand it all, but when I sit down tomorrow and walk through the circle of fifths with your "adds", I'm sure I'll be delighted. Thanks, Reno! Keep it up. We're thirsty for jazz accordion concepts and tutorials.
+splortz We are in the key of C. ON THE BASS, let us start on the 6th, Am. use fingers 3 to Am chord 2, then put your little finger on Cmajor chord button. This is now a Am7 chord. The 7th is Cmajor, which has the Ginthe C chord.Next, drop to Dm7.....keep the bass fingers in the same form.Then, G7 is next drop on bass. 3 finger to 2 (on the G7 chord) Then you can turn it into a flat nine by dropping the 2 finger to F7 chord. That has Ab in it. Or you can do a tritone sub. Keep the 2 finger on G7 chord button while moving 3 finger to counter bass row and playing the Db button in counter row.Next, drop down to Cmajor 7 and play this.....2 finger on Cmajor chord, 3 finger will move to B in the counter bass row/ do same for F major 7th.Now to B m7...place 4 finger on B and move 2 finger to Dm chord button.Next E7 using 3 and 2 fingerFinish cycle where you started Am7Right hand play patterned solo, keep it simple to more complex scales.USE A METRONOMEGood luckRENO
Right, my good man. This is the indelible I-IV-VII-III-VI-II-V-I Autumn leaves chord change. Fine, we know it well. Now, as a suggestion, or rather, recommendation, may I suggest you build your M7 (major seventh) chords by using the tonic bass, and the minor chord just up a major third interval. Meaning CM7 = C/Em ; the C bass (5th finger)and the E minor (2nd finger) chord. The use of the seventh note on a M7 chord is usually used by pianists like Bill Evens in special voicings without roots, and usually in the upper range. Also your very nice Excelsior has rich, deep bass notes (the chord reeds need tuning I'm afraid). The root note in measure four (III- 3rd degree, CM7 in the key of A (m7) is a C, not a B. Same system for the FM7. In the meantime, I share your love and respect for Frank Marocco. He had so many musical ideas, and real jazz phrasing. May his soul rest in peace. Now a real approach is to play everything in all twelve keys. I find that this changes colours ; for example, if you play Autumn Leaves in Ab- (or G# if you prefer - like Liszt's La Campanella) you get a more melancholic sound, and you have brain over heat. For further listening there's Tommy Gumina, and the incredible Randy Arase. There you go, we old boys know a thing or two, don't we?
great. I have another you tube "pick Yourself Up". It kid the cycles of 5ths in key of F important to know basses and bass chords from varying positions on bass keyboard
Thx for this video. Can you please elaborate on what you do when you do the G9 or 5he trigone or some other variations to some chords in the left hand?
major 7th chord...left hand 5 finger> press C fundamental row....two finger > press Eminor chord button. reach is hard. or, use B#/C with 2 finger in secondary row.....then press 4 finger on E minor chord button, easier 0r, press Cmajor chord with 3 finger and reach over tow secondary row and press B with 2 finger. This is a dissonant inversion and can be used in right setting

Good Stuff Reno! Thanks for posting.
Thank you for this informations :) Regards from Poland!!!
Dobra lekcja !! Pytanie jak najprościej Grać akordy M7 i Min7 lewą ręką !!
Thank you, very good.
Thx for this video. Can you please elaborate on what you do when you do the G9 or 5he trigone or some other variations to some chords in the left hand?
Thank you 🙏👁👂
Hi Reno, thanks for this great video! I see you mentioned something about Frank Maroccos book. What book is this?
Could be the Frank Maracco Sing book. www.amazon.com/Frank-Marocco-Accordion-Songbook/dp/1495093549
Maybe you've found it by now. Great arrangements
Hey can you elaborate how you get these maj7 or 9th chords in the left hand? Thanks
major 7th chord...left hand
5 finger> press C fundamental row....two finger > press Eminor chord button. reach is hard.
or, use B#/C with 2 finger in secondary row.....then press 4 finger on E minor chord button, easier
0r, press Cmajor chord with 3 finger and reach over tow secondary row and press B with 2 finger. This is a dissonant inversion and can be used in right setting
