Loved this. I’m 91 and have playing by ear on and off over the years. First accordion I had was a 12 Base which my brother found in a trash can when I was 13-14. Just play for family gatherings but now will entertain folks at retirement homes. I know all their old favorites of course!
Man, I was looking for this song for years! You've brought me back to my childhood memories...my dad used to have a cassette tape with this song in it!!! 💜
Moshe, you are one TERRIFIC instructor! The way you explain it -- even people who don't know how to play an accordion -- could probably learn, with a bit of practice. THANK YOU!!!
This is good, clear instruction. My granddaughter loves this dance and I look forward to playing it for her. HOWEVER, love to see some classical Czech waltzes/polkas.
My mom is going to be so proud! You are seriously an amazing individual and I can't think you enough for you tutorials and your sporadicness (probably not a word) in your tutorials. Thanks so much.
What the hell am I doing here? I have a test tomorrow. I don't even have an accordion. Mi a fenét csinálok én itt? Holnap lesz egy vizsgám. Soha nem is volt harmónikám.
Thanks Moshe! I just found your tutorial & learnt to play The Chicken Dance on my 80 bass Piano Accordian. Its been in the cupboard for years and you have inspired me to get it out and play it again. I can't believe the sound of this piece on the accordion. I can't believe I am playing it! That polka bass is terrific! thanks M8, You are a great instructor. Vince Downey, Melbourne, Australia
My husband, I play other instruments, I can not use the left hand of Akordeona. I do not speak English but I try to understand it by seeing it. By coincidence I found my video now. Very helpful thank you. TURKEY
As an accordion player, it is so nice to see the left hand being used. I weary of those who think they can play the accordion and have no idea what to do with the left hand. That is a "go figure" for me! Seriously, I wouldn't say I could play the flute if I only used the right hand!!
Ok I don't play the accordion but I was absolutely mezmerized by this video. I think it's great instruction! I'm sure the spider appreciated the concert!
Your tutorials are great! I have been working on my Godfather Waltz and then I saw this. My mom insisted this be the next song I work on. (I am 46 and just starting to learn the accordion and the Chicken Dance is her favorite) I have subscribed to your videos my friend! Thanks for the help!
absolutely AWESOME! i am teaching myself to play accordion, and thought this was great instruction. however, it would help me to have sheet music to look at. do you have some (like, a website that i could buy it off of) or did you play it by ear?
Just found your tutorials. Awesome instructional technique. Can you teach me to play Walk 500 miles by the Proclaimers please? Thank you Mark from New Zealand
I know this will sound weird but I have a bird which is an Indian Ringneck and when she hears this video she has to dance and scream with joy .I play it for her over and over . Thank you I like it too and yes I hit like button every time I am here.
@girlwithabook and by the way i have a request: you are my sunshine. if you could that would be cool! i can't find any good sheet music on the little internet searching i have done.
Here is the sheet music, from a later video by Moshe: ruclips.net/video/GTufM5ZZxFc/видео.html And here the video where he gives tips about how to learn songs in general, using the chicken dance as an example: ruclips.net/video/GTufM5ZZxFc/видео.html
I’m struggling on the button side. The instructions were a tad bit unclear. Can u please run through that for me? I couldn’t see what was going on in the finger placement
Hi Bronwyn, there is sheet music on accordionlove.com on the lesson page for the chords, as well as more detailed video lessons on the bass pattern - meaning, the oom-pa pattern. Let me know what you're having trouble with, specifically.
Sehr gut Deine Erklärung am Akkordeon Ich kann dett Lied auch spielen aber de Schnelligkeit geht nicht mehr so weil de Finger nicht so wollen ja da Ich mehr Kirchen Orgel spiele.Aber versuche noch mal dett zu spielen.Bin nicht mehr de jüngste.Lg Monika aus Dessau habe auch ein Musik Kanal bei RUclips.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can anyone explain what's going on around 4:48ish? He's saying C, C Major, G... I can kind of see where is pushing, but then he moves up to, G....and what?
Hi Stephanie. I'm doing the "alternate bass technique". So not just a straight "oom pa pa". When I switch over to the G major, my "alternate" bass is the D. So it's G (oom) G major (pa) D (oom) G major (pa), etc. There's a lesson up on accordionlove.com breaking it down into smaller steps.
@@moshezuchter Woah, thank you. Just bought an accordion two days ago, so I know NOTHING, haha. Got the first part down, with just the G and the C, but then it gets really hard on the bass side, haha.
@@stephanieclarke1570 oh totally. Keep it simple, take it slow. Watch lots of tutorials, ask questions 😊 let me know if you get stuck. Ronen @ accordionlove.com

I was looking all over the web for the sheet music
but your lesson here said it all.
Now I can play this song! : )
May I ask for "Beer Barrel Polka"?
thank you friend, I am going to play this at my family reunion, and other great polka songs!
could you explain a little more on the C tro G and the bases . I can't seem to get it to sound quite right. thanks
I had the same problem, and it sounds (and looks) like he's playing a third bass note between 'C' and 'G'!
Absolutely love this, thank you so much! :)
There's a spider on the wall!!
Very nice. You have teach well. God bless you. Love story is also good theme.
Amazing I can't wait to get accordion and learn this great teacher

omggg!!!!! thank you thank you sooo much
thanks for this! can you play "tell me ma" (gaelic classic?) love to see how you play it...
In the UK its called "The Birdie Song"
@gromitmcgorcdnbmzsty Yup. That's where the accent is from (or the shorts, I guess) :)
@girlwithabook and by the way i have a request: you are my sunshine. if you could that would be cool! i can't find any good sheet music on the little internet searching i have done.
im getting the polka middle part... down love it. But the first part with the bass added isn't going as well lol
I have 2 song requests, if possible. Can you do a tutorial for the songs mr. Bojangles and battle of New Orleans?? Please?
I found the bass to be hard to follow. I wish you could include a link to the sheet music.
Here is the sheet music, from a later video by Moshe: ruclips.net/video/GTufM5ZZxFc/видео.html
And here the video where he gives tips about how to learn songs in general, using the chicken dance as an example: ruclips.net/video/GTufM5ZZxFc/видео.html
could you do a video for the norteno style on a piano accordion
When should we know from when to change from the C to G bass note and vice versa?
Can you make a tutorial on how to play "apple peaches pumpkin pie" that would be awesome!
Never knew you had a Crucianelli! Is/was it an LMH? I have a very similar Pancordion model that I inherited from my Dad.
Ooooh, this is an oooold accordion. I don't remember what it was but most of the reeds didn't work properly 😄
I’m struggling on the button side. The instructions were a tad bit unclear. Can u please run through that for me? I couldn’t see what was going on in the finger placement

can you play the jaws theme sometimes???
i'll get an accordion um where do you get one?
i subscribed and liked
@bsbllowns26 on mine i have buttons that change it from low to master to high, making a full piano keyboard, but his might be different.
thanks man!!!!
Omg I was so singing along with this, I don't wanna be a duck chirp your beak flap your wings shake your tail lol XD
I will try hard at it
what are those keys above your keyboard on the accordion ,my accordion only has 3? great vids by the way :)
OKTOBERFEST!!!
👏👏👏👏👏
(If you haven't yet) you should do turkey in the straw
what is the little ornament you are doing as you go into the middle part? Sounds like a little grace note or a triplet or something.

The accordion which you have or had, is it heavy for you?
None were too heavy for me. I'm 5"11, 160 pounds. But as I get older I'm enjoying the lighter accordions :)
@@moshezuchter Personally me, I have 186 cm
I would love to hear beer barrel polka
Ooh. I need to learn it!
Could be a northerngerman/ frisian song... ^^ I like it!
Very much so!
