[@rsalman1000]

Thanx! its great!

[@sherree10]

What’s the fewest bass accordion size you could play this song on? Anybody?

[@moshezuchter]

I play the song in C major. We have F C G D A and E. So you need those six keys, majors and minors. All 40 and 48 bass accordions will have this range covered.

[@gislainemoore8683]

Bravo et merci

[@pannazdomu8845]

Bardzo czytelnie dziękuję panu

[@bonobogib]

Moshe would you do a tutorial on how to play "Sous le ciel de Paris"? thanks a lot

[@moshezuchter]

Yes! On my list of songs to cover.

[@fudusa3894]

hey moshe, thanks a lot for what ya doing. i appreciate it quite a lot. is there a possible to geht the sheet notes like with lambada. would be a great gift. thanks a lot and enjoy life!

[@susagoldschmidt4910]

[@peaofarrapo1982]

Hello, could pass the score of the low and writing keyboard? I am trying to learn but as I do not speak your language do not understand. Thank you!

[@jonasnilsson5396]

Hi, iam so happy for your videos😁👍👍 i realy want to learn this song. Do you know where i can find The nots for this a, b, c, etc. Br Jonas from sweden

[@moshezuchter]

Yeah! Notes and video lesson on accoridonlove.com

[@garycooper8575]

mr cohen could you please help me with the treble

[@heikekirchner7199]

Dear Ronan, is it possible to get a training from you for the song : gabriellas song from the film " as it is in heaven" its a film from sweden. It would be great if you could teach this song. I love your tutoriels. Thanks and rgards from Berlin from Heike

[@moshezuchter]

Thanks Heike. I'll add the song to my list!

[@juilietpritchard6560]

superb....

[@moshezuchter]

Thank you 😊

[@RebeccaDanWalsh]

I really enjoyed your lesson and you teach very well. I know the chords and notes but not how to play very well by ear. You really help me to put the theory into practice and I am learning a lot. Where are you from?

[@moshezuchter]

Great to hear, Rebecca. I'm currently living on Vancouver Island, in Canada.

[@julienjackson9166]

could you do a tutorial on a film music like hedwigs theme from harry potter or other well known films like that

[@kazohin]

Very nice! How do you play left hand legato not too loud and so we still hear the tune in right hand?

[@moshezuchter]

Thanks! That's a big question, re: controlling the sound of each hand. I would say it has to do with hand independence. The first thing to do is try it out on a simple melody. For example, just play a C major chord with your left hand, and then try and press one or two keys with your right. It shouldn't be a song, but try and make that melodic. Try and vary its intensity. Then try introducing more elements to it. Another chord on the left hand (C major to G major) and a more complex melody. I made a blog post and videos about it here: accordionlove.com/the-how-to-guide-to-coordinating-your-hands-on-the-accordion/

[@kazohin]

@@moshezuchter Thanks very much, it's already getting better. It's magic how the intensity and the timing of intensity effect the volume of right and left different ways, very interesting! I keep exploring :)

[@moshezuchter]

@@kazohin yeah! Happy you're figuring it out 👍👐

[@Nikita35485]

Man, I tried to play a piano accordion after playing a bayan and realized that some songs are more applicable to an accordion and others are good on a bayan. Anyway any kind of the instrument is good😊

[@jesusgutierrez2690]

Muy bueno para aprender a tocar el acordeón a pesar de la barrera del idioma,

[@gislainemoore8683]

Bravo merci

[@nutrifoodhouse2256]

Hi I love the video!! I have an accordion since my childhood and I always play songs by hearing. That is why it is really hard for me to use the left part. What do you recommend to learn this song from your video? Seperating the song into left and right hand or combining directly (it takes two minutes to play the melody for me)?

[@moshezuchter]

Practice your left hand. Make sure you know how to play every key in the song, and then how to connect between them (e.g. from C to Am, and back, without any mistakes). Play the song through left hand only, and then slowly start introducing the right hand, line by line.

[@garage_1975]

Cool 👏

[@Sammy-pw7tf]

i liked ur video but please can u next time focus on the timing when u switch directions. i call it the "breating". So that you dont play one note and switch the direction at the same time . This sounds clearer and i think better. (Sry for the english) XD

[@moshezuchter]

Hi Sammy, good point. Hand coordination and holding notes over chord changes are one of those skills that's so critical to playing. I cover it in more detail on accordionLove.com lessons. I also wrote about it here: accordionlove.com/the-how-to-guide-to-coordinating-your-hands-on-the-accordion/

[@marialegros2518]

on peut pas avoir le français pour cette leçon

[@russmoore9667]

Hi Moshe, Accordion beginner here, but coming in with some previous music experience/wisdom/trauma... Is it bad form in Accordion to use the counter-bass as roots for a 7 chord? The jump to A minor could be avoided by using the A counter-bass (off the F "row") and playing a C Major triad on top. Technically it's an Aminor7 chord. Just wondering. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@moshezuchter]

Hey Russ, sure, that works, but I guess it depends on the song. I think it's important to be able to play a C major to A minor oom-pa, without too much trouble. Meaning, it's a fairly standard type of jump. The F major to A minor is a little bigger, so I can see why using the F counterbass would be useful in that case.

[@veelove2364]

Thanx

[@gabitschampel2349]

Hello Moshe, thank you for this channel. I am an 60 Year old absolute beginner and i like the songs you play. I dont want to play Childrensongs or Christmassongs, i want to play Songs like Halleluja, Susanne, Caledonia. But in Germany I dont find Notes for. Please can you tell me where to order? That would be very nice. Thank you and have a nice day🙋🏼Gabi

[@moshezuchter]

Hi Gabi. If you're just looking for sheet music there are a few sheet music sites on the Internet that sell them. If you Google "Leonard Cohen Piano Sheet Music" you'll find some. SheetMusicPlus I believe is a good one. Piano sheet music is fairly straightforward to translate to accordion. I also have Suzanne and Hallelujah on accordionlove.com for accordion, with a video lesson explaining how to play the song, if you're interested.

[@gabitschampel2349]

Thanks a lot. I'll try it🤗

[@adleylemon576]

I have a question where do you get some notes on the bass??

[@moshezuchter]

You can find the sheet music - bass notes and melody - on accordionlove.com

[@alessandrogalbiati3835]

How many basses has that accordion?

[@moshezuchter]

This Weltmeister has 72 bass buttons. The songs range is from F to E, so it could work on a 48 bass

[@gislainemoore8683]

Comment pouvons-nous vous rejoindre ? Peut-on vous rejoindre par courriel. Comment de procurer vos partitions. Bravo vous êtes un grand amoureux de la musique .

[@ellyvanwolferen4940]

Is it possible to obtain the sheet music if this number?

[@roberardi]

Please, add the music sheet. You list the notes, but some are 1/4 and some are 1/8, very hard to say. Please...

[@moshezuchter]

Sheet music is up at accordionlove.com

[@carolinac.2599]

@@moshezuchter sorry, I can't see the sheet in the link you mentioned here. I also need it because it's really difficult to understand when you start the accords in coincidence with notes. I think for example that you start the C major when you play the first G, but I'm not even sure of that.

[@moshezuchter]

Hi Carolina, here is the link: accordionlove.com/lessons/hallelujah-leonard-cohen/

[@johnhandford6641]

[@mrcrazy6278]

I am try to attempt it on a d/g melodeon, any tips I am still learning

[@moshezuchter]

Unfortunately I don't yet know how to play the melodeon, so I cannot give any tips. One suggestion is to transpose the song from C (which it's in now) to D or G?

[@CheekyNiiine]

Hey this is amazing. Could you maybe send me the notes for this song additionally that would be great 😍
