It seems as though some people know instinctively about chords and some (me!) don't.
It caused no problems with a recorder but I'm now trying to learn the accordian. I suppose I could just use my left hand to pull and push, but maybe there is more.
How do I 'do' the 3 chord trick, and how do I know when it is appropriate?
A lot of the tunes I like are Playford dance tunes and such. Often modal and triple time but not a waltz. So Um-pah-pah doesn't seem right.
Learning piano was a matter of right hand play what's on the top stave, left hand plays the line/s at the bottom. So that's no help.
