Aaron Hurwitz: Professor Louie’s Rock and Blues Accordion – A Complete Course for the Beginner
Worked through this course, this past weekend. To be honest,I don’t think this course is suitable for complete beginners. Although there is an introduction to the Piano Accordion, a large numer of assumptions are made, basic music reading and previous knowledge of keyboard. It is suitable for a player looking to pick up the instrument again (like myself) and encourages experimentation and improvisation.
Rating: 4 / 5
I’ve fooled around on the accordion for over ten
years but I still didn’t know how to play in the
blues style – which is pretty lame.
This DVD spends the first hour on basic stuff you
can figure out for yourself if you know music
and get your hands on an accordion – the instrument
is actually much simpler to play than most people
think.
The second part teaches scales and blues chord
progression. I’m the only person I know who
plays the accordion so I don’t have the benefit
of watching somebody else and having them show
me fingerings… which is all I needed really.
I don’t much care for reading music. This DVD
includes some sheet music but the grooves are
simple enough to cop just by watching.
