thank very much.👏👏👏

Thanks for the lesson! Also, thank you for keeping the camera safe from covid!

Thanks for wearing a mask. I feel safer already.

Is it easier to learn to play on a 20 button concertina or is it just as easy to play the 30 button concertina? Thank you for the video.

this really helped me get started with scales. I'm looking forward to progressing from your youtube tutelage! keep it up!

Why are you wearing a mask all alone in your own home?

I have been looking everywhere for some good videos. Thank you so much! this has been super helpful. I am very new at the concertina thank you.

I don’t have an instrument yet . But I love your clear style of teaching ! Thank you 😊

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was just about to quit because of how hard it was, but thanks for helping me through it!!!!! 😃😃😃😁😁😁😁😁

For you, I let the ads play all the way through. 👏👏👏

Did you really need to leave the Tag on the Handle during the Making of the Video?

Amazing! I'm trying to learn the concertina for a clown and pirate show so this is really helping.

Could someone tell me how much is a decent quality cheapest concertina for someone who wants to learn to play it but isn’t sure? Approximately what’s the lowest it could cost?

Really enjoyed this basic lesson. Now, if I can just get the right hand pinky fingering straight - - -

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Thanks for giving a clear instructions on how to do wellerman!

It's like the diatonic accordion

I just now discovered this video and it has been so helpful! Thank you for posting it!

Excellent instruction! Just brought a used one home to try.

"Diatonic" does NOT mean that each button plays two notes. It means that the instrument does not have any of the additional sharps and flats that would enable it to play chromatically. It is perfectly possible to have a diatonic lyre, or a diatonic hurdy gurdy, not to mention some types of flute which might also be diatonic.

Many Thanks for showing us how to play the Wellerman . I can't find Tab for it in any of the" Sailor Song" books for concertina. Thanks for slow. other Teachers say the will go slow - but not slow enough do me

I am glad I have found your page . I am trying to read all this from a book . So much easier to watch 🙂

Love the video! How much is that concertina worth?

Nice mask! Makes me want to get mine back out just for fun!

I can't help but hear a vine boom sound effect whenever he says "fingering" XD

Doesn't "diatonic" just mean that it uses the intervals of a major scale? (Inb4, "but he played minor." Relative minor is the same as major, just a different mode.) Either way, the concertina seems way harder than the accordion just because you actually have to pay attention to whether you push or pull the bellows. I picked up accordion super fast because I play a little bit of piano, but all you have to do with the bellows is basically just make sure you alternate between push/pull between phrases.

Thank you, but is very defficult for me 😢 5 days i try learn this one…🥵

Muchas gracias por la lección, saludos desde México

Omg its rainbow colored

did you really need to wear a mask during the Making of the Video?

Ты руский?

This guy really sucks at explaining

3 years later, don't you feel silly for wearing the face diaper?

Good instruction video but ditch the dumb mask!

Ridiculous mask on.

Wellerman is not a shanty, though. It's a folk song. People use "shanty" for practically anything even remotely sounding like it might have been sung by seamen at some point when, specifically, shanty only refers to work songs with some call-and-response pattern or another. Which Wellerman is not. Stop calling it a shanty.

Why don't you wear a mask - are you afraid of infecting the video camera?

Why is he wearing a mask. Wtf.

Mask. Wtf

Just the fact that you are sitting there with a mask, makes me not want to watch you...

Sorry, but why do you have to wear a mask? There's presumably no one near you for you to think it's necessary.

Get that thing off yer face....

take off your mask bro
