Accordion Crimes (Andrew Marcus, U.S.)
kenkolodnerThere is A LOT here! The tune affords a fabulous example of the benefits of the left-hand lead approach for fiddle tunes. In this series of videos, we present an intro to the piece, a basic arrangement that exploits a rising bassline and many additional variations using a variety of harmonic and rhythm techniques/ideas. I present multiple backup approaches for both the A and the B part that incorporate grooves, bass lines and harmony. And it is so much fun to play!

It's like having private mini-tutorials from Ken that you can watch over and over!
