An Index of Clive Williams' Melodeon Videos from YouTube
This is a fantastic tune, and melodeon.net’s tune of the month for December 2023. Quite tricky, so here I break it down to its individual bits, and take you through how to play it.
I’m playing it on a D/G Hohner Pokerwork, so it should work on any 2 row 8 bass box. On my melodeon, it’s a 3rd button start, the basses have the thirds taped off, and the B bass note is an octave lower than most boxes. Doesn’t matter for this tune of course.
Comments closedHere’s a description of how I play this tune which is Melodeon.net’s TOTM for May 2016. I’ve already recorded this tune elsewhere, so thought I’d do a tutorial instead. Great tune; have a go!
Comments closedAn attempt(!) to explain how to play Andy Cutting’s tune ‘The Abbess’ on a 2 row 8 bass D/G melodeon. This is just my version of the tune of course.
