[@Dan71282]

Thanks!

[@accordionlucy]

Wow thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bertdewaal6350]

Greetings from Canada Lucy! I’ve just picked up an accordion again after 30 years and I was hammering away at this very song trying to figure this out! (I don’t know how to read music so seeing the actual fingering is soo helpful) Watching your video was like winning the lottery! A heartfelt thanks for this. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’m falling in love with the accordion all over again. Love the tutorials! You play magnificently by the way!

[@accordionlucy]

Wow thanks so much! I'm so happy knowing that this video has helped you. Thanks for watching my videos :) all the best!

[@MyIDIsNotAvailable]

I've not had accordion in my hands for well over 20 years but got it recently from my parents house and I gotta say I still remember a little. I've gotta learn this song. This is excelent video. Thanks.

[@accordionlucy]

Thanks for the feedback :) All the best!

[@emmanpacleb7273]

To make a tutorial for those who want to learn accordion... You're thoughtful Thank you very much

[@accordionlucy]

It is my pleasure :)

[@noyl-ye3xb]

The best and most detailed song tutorial I found so far on KZbin! Just started over with accordion and a friend caught me playing. Now she wishes me to play this song at her wedding 😁 Anyway, keep going with your amazing work 👍🏻👍🏻

[@accordionlucy]

Thanks so much :) Good luck at the wedding!

[@Wheels-Wheels-Wheels]

Not only do I thoroughly enjoy your videos [your playing style, arrangements, choice of music, etc] but I find this wonderful tutorial...something for me, as a beginner, to strive towards. Thank you.

[@cirosoares713]

I am studing accordion here in Brazil. Thanks for classes.

[@diogodias1047]

The best tutorial I have ever seen

[@accordionlucy]

wow good to know, thanks :)

[@Dan71282]

Your channel is amazing. I'm starting out playing accordion and your tutorials are unbelievably awesome. Thank you!

[@accordionlucy]

Thank you Dan! All the best :)

[@minkeh3432]

Fantastic tutorial! Easy to follow you are a very good teacher, thanks! 🙏🏼😊

[@accordionlucy]

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

[@michaelm742]

Lucy, Lucy Lucy! Thank you so much for this approach you took two years ago and it's just what the doctor had ordered for me here and now. I have been making progress on a few of your tutorials, in many cases focusing on the melody and continuing to practice treble while you demonstrate bass. I can keyboard 'Bella Ciao' all day long, been having bass only runs of that one lately.. Anyway I liked this video so I must have watched it or started to at some point but when I saw that you started out teaching the driving force of the song coming from the left hand, a HUGE thank you for this one! :)

[@accordionlucy]

That's great! You're so very welcome!

[@alanfromenglandcamino7149]

brilliant right hand note practice thank you ,amazingly helpful video must have taken a great deal of patience and skill to put it together thank you ,awesome!

[@accordionlucy]

Thanks a lot Alan :) I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! I am so glad it was helpful for you.

[@marianasantosacordeonista2005]

Isso mesmo Lucy :), o mão esquerda: os acordes maiores é com médio, os acordes menores é com indicador, se calhar que tu começaste a tocar os botões no início certo. Acordes: Ré menor e Lá menor é com indicador, Fá Maior e Dó Maior é com médio. Muitos parabéns Lucy, Tu trocaste bem com mão esquerda e os botões :)

[@radek5275]

[@accordionlucy]

I don’t sorry! Try muse score maybe

[@Eact84]

Best tutorial and editing videos !! Thank you am about to dust off my accordion again!!!

[@accordionlucy]

Thanks so much! These take me a long time to edit which is why I haven’t made many tutorials in a while but comments like yours are very encouraging and make me want to do more!

Great video and fantastic explanation ! Thank you so much :-)

[@accordionlucy]

Hey thanks for the feedback! Great to know that it's helping.

[@philippaduck]

Oh this is brilliant - just what I need but for a diatonic!

[@katia2862]

That is a great tutorial. It would be helpful to have the accord written down. Can you tell us the source of where to buy the accords? Thank you so much!

[@accordionlucy]

Unfortunately I learned this by ear so I don’t have any recommendations for a source to find the music! Good luck.

[@neobit12]

Thank you for this, really helpful.

Otimo tutorial, amei. Gratidão 👏👏👏🇧🇷

[@calebzuniga9609]

Qué paciencia, gracias

[@CHLUMIREK]

Super Lucy :).Ukázáno perfektně

[@accordionlucy]

cheers!

[@chico6643]

Wish accordion wasnt so expensive.... One day I'll learn!

[@accordionlucy]

My first accordion was something very cheap made in China but once I fell in love, I didn't care how much money I had to give! Every cent is worth it :) I hope you can start one day soon.

[@adrianpolley9419]

Excellent tutorial, thank you. Bit complicated once you hit section 2 part 2 ( I've only been playing for a year with no previous experience ) but I'll keep at it. 😊

[@accordionlucy]

Cheers Adrian! You're doing very well to be tackling this after only a year of experience. Keep going! You've got this!

[@adrianpolley9419]

@@accordionlucy Thanks, it's good fun.

[@rimantasbrazenas6834]

Ačiū...buvo labai smagu..LT:)

[@accordionlucy]

I’m glad!

[@Sproutpies]

Is this a beginner friendly song would you say? I’m hoping to pick up the accordion and I’d love to learn this but I’m worried it would take me a year to get to this point

[@accordionlucy]

Probably not great for a total beginner! I have a bunch of new tutorials coming out in the next couple of months which will be better catered to a beginner. Stay tuned for an announcement on this channel on March 1st!

[@lucanape]

Gracias, muy buen video, ya me suscribi.

El mejor tutorial de Amely vals

[@ruthanna4713]

Thanks so much 😍

[@accordionlucy]

You're welcome!

[@Aalii6]

very helpful, thank you!

[@accordionlucy]

Glad it helps :)

[@DashHousebuyerss]

Can I ask why the tutorial is different from your performance? Perhaps some changes due to your own rendition... just seems like the music sheet online doesn't match any (not only yours) of the tutorials. Thanks for you video, looking forward to your feedback!

[@accordionlucy]

There seems to be quite a lot of versions out there. I've been playing for memory for so many years, I can't remember which version I learnt from. Often my performance videos sound different to the tutorials because I am using a lot of bellows techniques and touch effects. I use the bellows to accent certain notes and I hold certain buttons down for slightly longer to emphasize them and play other notes more detached. This tutorial teaches you which buttons to push but it doesn't explain how to perform the piece expressively. That's something that's hard for me to do in a video without a one-on-one lesson.

[@edgaracostadavila204]

Lucy, one question, the song, the original song i mean, is at 96BPM? Or you set 96BPM just for practice? Maybe is a great instructional video of how to use the Metronome, or how to detect the BPM for each song? Sometimes i feel that i practice the Walts de Amelie more fast.

[@accordionlucy]

Hello Edgar. Good question. I set this tempo for practise. I would recommend performing it around 192BPM

[@pozzypozful]

This is great thank you 🙏

[@Andrzej-ve3rc]

Thanks for a great job. Your lessons are very helpful. By the way, you are playing section 2/7 part 3/4: d e f e f e d ... the last d shouldn't be e? I found this in my sheet music and I am not sure if it is correct.

[@accordionlucy]

Thank you. I am glad they are helping you. The particular arrangement that I have learned has a D, but I have heard it also played with an E. Choose whichever pleases your ear.

[@marr_jonas]

Bravo!

[@accordionlucy]

Thanks!

[@petergren1095]

Very good tutorial-I wish you could do one on a piano

[@accordionlucy]

Thank you! Well, the right hand would be exactly the same on piano, you would just need to play chords in the bass on piano rather than pressing bass buttons. I think there might already be a good tutorial for this tune on KZbin for piano!

[@petergren1095]

Lucy Riddett Thank you for that Lucy I think that there is one but perhaps everyone would like to see Your version

[@blueberry1874]

i dont understand where section 3 and onward come from. i dont hear them in the original, are they your compositions?

[@gageiannitelli6994]

seems to be that way. A few notes are different in the first few sections as well. You could always just stop at the 3rd section, but it is a really quick song and I think the other sections adds to the flavor

[@accordionlucy]

Hi there, I learned it by ear, so there's no sheet music for how I play it. The video I learned from is Dave Thomas - La Noyee solo.

[@jaimegutier273]

Hi Lucy, are you still active in your youtube account?

[@accordionlucy]

Hi Jaime, I’m still here! Just had a very busy year and not able to dedicate as much time to creating videos. I miss it a lot and will definitely be uploading more :)

[@jaimegutier273]

Hi Lucy. Good to know you are fine. You are also missed here. I have a question: How should I deal with timing problems when playing with both hands? I'm struggling with it. Kind regards.

[@jaimegutier273]

Hi Lucy, I just wanted to say that I was too hasty and that I do not consider you my personal instructor so I apologies for that. I will just keep practicing and become better. Thank your videos and I am glad to know you are alright. Regards.

[@alexeyma9219]

棒棒哒(very good)

[@alexeyma9219]

how are you？

[@Alilia007]

4:55 5:29 6:01 need the time stamp for part 2 😅

[@accordionlucy]

haha thanks

[@alexeyma9219]

Do you read Instagram private messages?

[@accordionlucy]

I try to!
