1st Position Mexican Accordion Explained w/ Chords in FA SOL MI Key F G E 

Howdy 👋 This is a tricky situation.. I would suggest having your accordion reeds moved around to mirror / play the way a righty plays as the patterns are better fit for your hand and naturally have the lower end at the top and higher notes at the bottom etc Note that it shouldn’t cost much as all it is is popping reeds out and resetting them in different order you theoretically could achieve this with a soldering iron and beeswax and ensuring you position them like my charts / note per note BUT you can most definitely play without swapping anything although it might be challenging there’s no stopping you if you’d like. The accordionist from Los Tucanes nicknamed “Zurdo” (Lefty) in Spanish has definitely gone far (it’s Los Tucanes!) and plays lefty in a “right” handed accordion and it’s not impossible but it would make learning things a bit harder imo. This also opens you up to having a unique style (which can be a plus! / Like Zurdo) Cheers and always here for questions

It’s the same thing! You’re just missing the bottom 3 buttons. Some scales won’t be possible pulling out 100% due to the missing buttons but check my chart you’ll be able to do it pushing some of the missing buttons in

Hello! There’s many ways to play the scale ! This scale is geared more for Norteño Mexican music where it’s more of a 80/20 percentage of pull / push ratio compared to polkas that are a 50/50 pull/push. This way exercises your whole hand including pinky which helps with speed and agility. In short, because the diatonic accordion has repeated notes, there’s many way to play the same scales at time.

This video is very very well made! What an amazing job

Just the right amount of time 🤝

@@joedavila8706 ask away ! 👍🏼

It’s a bit tricky but go slow remember you’re just going backwards

Love Bigshow 🙌🏻 Just a bit different, but for better development I’d say play like my video since it focuses more on using your whole hand 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻 in actuality though it doesn’t matter as long as your play and practice!

@@boton.official cool bro thx you. Also, Im using the Hohner Panther Fa. Any other recommendations as far as learning? I have no idea what steps I should take, like learn scales then what?

@@TheOriginalUnoriginal Yes! After you get comfortable with scales do a song. I have FA song examples as shorts but watch my next video (4th Position) and I go through a full song example so you can make sense of everything and how they each play a part 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

@@boton.official I appreciate it bro. Thank you.
