Monk - Round Midnight (beautiful jazz accordion chords explained)

Thelonious Monk - Round Midnight (music score and chords). Video tutorial: Left Hand advanced harmony for accordion. Here is how to play complex chords (like Abmaj7, Bb9sus4) on the left hand of your accordion: Stradella bass system has only M Major, m minor, 7 seventh, and o diminished chords. To play more sophisticated jazz harmonies, we need to learn how to combine those simple chords together, so they produce nice rich sound of proper Jazz Harmony. In the video you can see common jazz harmony symbols (like Ebmaj7, used for any musical instrument). Below them - how to play those jazzy chords with the Left Hand of accordion. (Although the song is very slow, It is a condensed, fast paced video full of information for accordion beginners as well as practicing classical accordion professionals; so you will have to pause, watch, think and study a lot) To finger these complex harmonies on accordion often you have to press the Bass button and 1 or 2 different chords simultaneously. For example, to play Db9 harmony press bass Db at the same time with Ab minor chord and Ab diminished chord. Or, to play Eb9 play bass Eb together with Bbm chord and Bbdim chord. Just study my pencil markings carefully... And practice, practice. Good Luck! SUPPORT YURI&CHANNEL: Use Thanks button below my videos, Please remember subscribe and check out my other videos.
