Oh! Susanna (20-button Anglo)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2014
- From "Civil War Concertina" by Gary Coover, p.73.
First published in 1848, with words and music by Stephen C. Foster. Arranged here for 20-button Anglo concertina, and played on a 30-button C/G Herrington Anglo.
Although "Oh! Susanna" has previously been posted from "Anglo Concertina in the Harmonic Style", this is the arrangement that's in "Civil War Concertina".

No idea how you do two melodies at once, incredibly impressive
im not an expert but i would say he is playing one melody plus one harmony
I think that is how Stephen Foster would have wanted it played...
The very first song I learned on the concertina
Got the same book of Gary Coover and just started to play the Anglo-German concertina... sooooo much fun!!!! not for the neighbors though ;-)
Great song; wonderfully played!
Beautiful.Thank you very much
Maravilhoso. Belo timbre. Parabéns. Bela sanfona
Here i am trying to make the best out of 2020 and i stumble across this video, nice :)
beautiful!
Very nice a bright and happy tune!!
Bravo pour cette musique 🎶 lointaine
Awesome about to get my first concertina
Erin Averyt did you get it?
Yes I did in mid February or mid March
I conme here from pearson in red dead playing the concertina
I don't care if its south or north , I don't care if its east or west. As long as its good music. I enjoy.
Very nice indeed !!
I started learning Oh! Susanna from the Harmonic Style book of yours, now I'm thinking that once I actually get better at the song (and once I've learned other songs) I could revisit Oh! Susanna and mix the version from that book with this one! Might take a while though, like a few years type of a while..
So how is it going :)?
@@blabliel349 Oh! Well.....! Went to france for a year and stayed in an apartment so I couldn't play. When I got back to America I had other things and.... long story short I haven't touched it in a long time. Still wanna get back to it, technically could now, but just kinda forgot. Kinda shocked my comment was from 3 years ago, it doesn't feel that long ago since I played. Hopefully i'll get the courage to hop back onto it!
Awesome indeed
Hi I have just bought your book, and am delighted with its ease of reading, and am watching some of your videos which are also excellent. I have had restored a 20 key Lachenal concertina given to me and Im determined to get a tune out of it! Any tips will be extremely well recieved, you are obviously an excellent player, I seem to run out of 'push' or 'pull' , but i will persevere thank you!
Glad you like the book! Air can be a problem at first since you're obviously playing slowly while learning, and also there is a beginner tendency to try to push the tune out by playing harder - it works much better with a lighter touch but that will come with time. I'm sure you'll find there's a lot of great music hiding inside that historical 20-button Lachenal!
Hi Gary, I just got the Easy Anglo 123 book. I am playing a 30 button Rochelle which I just started playing again after a long hiatus. I learned originally from the Bertram Levy book which was the only book around for Anglo Concertina for a long time. I was wondering if you intended to add any more tunes from the book than just the 15 that are currently on RUclips? I like the English accompaniment style and probably will buy the "Harmonic Style" book next.
Thanks, John
Hi John, yes it's on my list to add more videos to the 1-2-3 book... moved to a noisy place a couple of years ago and then had some tuning problems, but I recently got a new concertina so it's time to put it to work. Glad you're enjoying playing! - Gary
This concertina you are playing has a beautful sound. Who makes it? Thanks
Hello
I have the same book and I have recently been trying to learn how to do chords and how to have a "background beat" like you do in this video. I can do what I call "droning" which is where one note is held steady while another is being played and manipulated to make the actual notes of the song, but I'd like to get a nice constant beat in my songs like you do here. How do you determine what keys go with each other when you're playing a song? As of where I am now I can play certain notes from B and up to play a perfect harmony, but the notes from A down to low D are less identical to one another and sound more like an actual chord, so it's very obvious when I'm switching from A to B when playing a song. With an accordion you usually only have to alternate between a few chord buttons while the other hand is playing the notes of the song, but with a concertina where one button only plays a single note, I don't really know what key combinations are "right" for the notes. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi Guy, can I make a shameless plug for "Easy Anglo 1-2-3"? It will start you off with simple tunes and also help you with basic chords and "oom-pah" accompaniment. Or you can also do a lot of trial and error, nothing wrong with that. On the left hand side, try playing a lower note (farther to the left) on the downbeat and then follow with a couple of notes higher up. Since an Anglo is limited by the push and pull, a lot of the "wrong" note are left out so you can often find something that works without too much effort.
@@angloconc hi, where did you find this concertina? I'm a beginner looking for a small, light 20-button concertina under $300. Do you know of anywhere I can look?
Hi Gary... Richard G.(mini-Lachenal) from David's get together. Very nice tune, I'm tempted to tackle it. Do you do Hard Times? I have heard a seriously profound version of Hard Times by Mr. Hill. cheers
Medic good play on squeeze box
yeah
That's great! Do more!
Great
Can you play coming around the mountain
How do i play different buttons at the same side (on the other side of the concertina) 😭😭😭😭
Practice!
What concertina are you playing?
Mighty !
V for victory
I'm so sorry to come off like a jerk here, but isn't that a 30-button? If I'm wrong just tell me to mind my own business!
Not a problem! Yes, it's a 30-button, but for these tunes I'm not playing the top row at all, so it's basically the same as a 20-button.
I don't know. It's still on a 30 button, and those tend to be better made. with better action. Just sayin'. (Note: I did give this a "Like" thumbs up. I'm not the one who gave it the thumbs down).
I play 20, 30 and 38 button. There is a special character to the sound when playing with only the two main rows and avoiding the accidental (top) row. To me, it's harder to play "20 button style" on a 30 than to play a proper 20, because you have to fight the temptation to go for the other fingering and chord options that the 30 offers. I like what Angloconc did here, especially on the accompaniment, although I would have syncopated the melody differently. It's an American tune but this particular recording makes it sound more English!
Freebird!
try not to laugh impossible
Is there a video tutorial suitable to teach someone who does not read music?
Not sure about a video course, but the book "Civil War Concertina" shows button numbers and directions for every note, so you don't need to be able to read music. But the musical notation does help show the relative timing of every note. The Anglo is great for playing by ear, and I play a lot of tunes without ever seeing any music, so play it a lot and experiment - although it's somewhat limited musically, you can think of it as having a lot of the wrong notes left off!
The 20 button Anglo sort of automatically lends itself to playing by ear. Nearly all the notes appear in 2 places each, and all the basic chords you need are there. I'm not a big fan of written arrangements because the Anglo allows you to play the chordal accompaniment in many different ways. The trick is to get a 20 button and experiment, listen to other musicians, and meet them when you can. Reading music helps you to develop your repertoire and remember tunes, but I suspect very few people play Anglo "from the dots", so you don't need to be able to read music.
quiero tutorial para principiantes 🙌🏾🙏🏽
Hey that is a pokemon song, i remember listen that song in pokemon soul silver
Doubt it. It was probably a very similar song. (I've played the game and listened to the soundtrack many times, so I would know.)
Next time could you play the version without the racist lyrics :(
Great
