THE ACCORDION HANGOUT - ALL OF ME - PAUL BETKEN - TIPS FOR THE ACCORDIONIST.

A classic standard tune. This presentation demonstrates a one-on-one artistic approach. Accordion instruction for purposes of standard songs today reflects the lack of tools, tips and performance experience for handing aspects of the craft from one musician to another. Here, it is meant to introduce personal suggestions on this song with experience, techniques and musical substance for the benefit of the accordionist. This clip shows the stuff not in the books-- practical matters as to how it is done and the reasons why.
