Lovebridge Waltz 1 - A Part - very simple by Chris Miller

Chris Miller is a professional music teacher, multi-instrumentalist, and performing Cajun and Zydeco musician. His signature teaching method is to ask the student to bring a video camera, and then lay down a song in layers, starting from very simple to complex. The student is then able to progress at their own pace, adopting components as they can, instead of trying to copy someone else's version note per note and ending up struggling to play a song that is not their own. This is a 5 part video demonstrating that technique.
Chris lives in Lake Charles, LA, and can be reached at [e-mail]

Playing this on my deceased Grandfather's Hohner. Thanks for the lesson. UT brings him back to me.

You are the best teacher that I have seen on You Tube

[@sylviaturcotte6548]

Just got a Hohner Diatonic Accordian for Christmas. Love Cajun music up here in Connecticut. Not too many Cajun accordian teachers up here however. Love this introductory lesson. It really breaks it down slowly. It will also be my first song to learn. I wish you would take the time to teach another song on You Tube. Can't go to Louisianna to take lessons from you.

When somebody ask me how to play the accordeon,part of what I say is Keep your fingers close to the buttons, also, if you have problems to perform a movement, is because your fingers are not in the right position. Especially on a 3 row accordeon. Good lesson! One of this days I'll stop and look for you in Lake Charles.

just learned a new thing, where the sound changes Thank You

[@bigshrimpfs]

I think i might be able to learn to play that
Wish i had one.

[@robertsuttie3307]

All the instruction is there, but if you played the song, part A, over and over several times, it would help to get it into our heads, and we keep trying to play along.

Where did you get your accordion if you don’t mind me asking?

[@jeankosloff2477]

Are you playing a D accordion?

[@1776adb]

Damned superglue; can’t remove my finger- LOL.

At 23 seconds, that's what she said

[@MrDaveBooth]

I am trying to play this, but I am running out of bellows on the long push between the first and second line. How can I get more bellows travel?
I should add, I am a professional woodwind musician, with over sixty years of experience.
