I have watched several accordion videos and they don't show close ups of the buttons AND they cover the buttons with the fingers. It's hard to tell what's going on.

Forgive me, but it is not a professional fingering. Modern professional fingering is positional fingering where you use all five fingers and move from position to position by using the thumb (doing the thumb under), like on piano. And the fingers are parallel to the top of the instrument, not held diagonally like here. And this correct positional fingering is taught from the very beginning, not only at a more advanced level. This archaic three-finger technique, as shown here, came from the times when instruments were tiny and did not have shoulder straps but had the left hand and the right thumb straps instead. Yes, the right thumb was always kept behind the griff and it used to have its own special strap! With the correct positional five finger technique, there are at least 5 different fingerings available for the C major scale for B griff, so plenty of choices and freedom. Some of them move outside of the first three rows, though.

Where did you learn this method? Typically Russians (including professionals) use only the index, middle, and ring fingers to play scales. I am genuinely interested to hear about your method though. Got any more info on it?

what is better b system or c system

@c_farther5208 4 года назад

I would like to know that also.

@johnwetzel5248 3 года назад

I like B because playing a chromatic run without using thumb can be done with hand relaxed (3 fingers towards floor pointed down and also slightly in towards bellows fall naturally onto any desired three buttons). In C system the same notes require fingers to point in and up, which I find awkward. However, people somehow play hard music in both systems without it looking painful, so my opinion might be bogus. I have taught myself B system with no books or teacher (by ear) and I love B system. Both B and C allow playing any tune in any key with the same finger pattern IF you have 5 rows. I only have 4 (becuz Lighter is good) but I do not mind the slight complication of changing the pattern to cover this. WAY better than learning 12 patterns on a piano accordion so you can play a tune in any key on those things. Akk!

@johnwetzel5248 3 года назад

@@c_farther5208 See my response above. I vote for B.

b is better because better starts with b

@ricardor6388 5 лет назад

Why ? Why limit it to those scales ? Why not say it's a isomorphic layout that does this for every scale ?

@collinbachet9263 4 года назад

Isomorphic it definitely is. Because the keyboard has repeats of rows 1 and 2 (4 and 5), he could use the same fingering for all the scales. Starting a semitone up, Db Major scale would start on the 5th row, next tone up 4th row, then Eb Major (literally moving horizontally). That fingering would only work on a 5 row keyboard however. He limits the scale to 3 rows because 3 rows is basic, without repeated rows providing alternative fingering. Any scale starting on row 1 or 2 will have a different shape because they don't have the room to carry over row 3 fingering, and like any scale, they will always use 3 rows. Its a proper introduction as not all chromatic accordions have more than 3 rows, so it is perfectly valid for the teaching of beginners or for people like me who don't have 10k to blow on an accordion with an advanced keyboard!

@ricardor6388 4 года назад

@@collinbachet9263 Maling a valid point till you said "10k for a 5 row button accordion". I don't know the disponibilities in US, but in EU, they're quite common. Could get one for 250€ Either way, people playing with C1, 2 or 3 stick to their playing most of the time, but nontheless i would have prefered he mentions the advantage over piano (accordions) :) Sure you wouldn't be able to play a Cb scale with a 3 row accordion, but you could play a D#, F# and A without any problem But you're right for a first video it's quite allright :)

@collinbachet9263 4 года назад

@@ricardor6388 When I mentioned spending 10k on an accordion, I was referring to a Jupiter Bayan, which is probably worth more. I've seen Firotti chromo accordion for 1200, or a Weltmeister for 2k on ebay. Though they both have 5 rows, they still lack a freebass system. I'm not sure what you mean by C1, 2, and 3, but I can tell you it is possible to play a Cb scale on this keyboard. He doesn't seem to mention the advantages. The advantages are: -Wider playing range -Isomorphic layout -Larger intervals can be easily reached -Easier to play by feel. -Little thumb usage

@ricardor6388 4 года назад

@@collinbachet9263 Wow going for a Jupiter is not >getting< into the accordion :P That's the accordion you maybe have when you did music school years and years but not at all a beginners model What I mean with C1/2/3 is the row the C is placed on. I learned on a C2 but play on a C3 so I use the 3 middle rows out of 5 I didn't know we were speaking about free basses instead of stradella. Wouldn't recommend speaking of free basses for a beginner or even someone starting like me at 25 or more and not having been through music school like I said I'm totally on you with the advantages you cite. Because of the isomorphic layout, I really do feel like I can improvise a melody i've never played before out of the blue quite well (because the fingering never changes) For some songs though, because the key changes, it's important in the long run to know the 3 possible scale patterns (3major, 3 minor etc). to maintain this intuition feeling

@collinbachet9263 4 года назад

Yeah I didn't mention anything about freebass. I should have. I was trying to show that basic 3 row like on my Rubin and Start Bayans has plenty of musical opportunities. Maybe not as much as a Jupiter... I still don't understand C2, C3, because there is only 1 row out of 5 on which the C's are located. When I see C2,3,4, I think of the octaves in scientific pitch notation, or did you finger the C Major scale using row 3,4,and 2? You don't have to be in music school to learn this instrument. I started teaching myself at the age of 23 in August of 2017(had piano accordion experience from a young age). Knowing this keyboard like knowing your own face is what will help you learn freebass. For sure, it is fun improving on this system!
