Kathryn Wheeler Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Hi folks! Hope this is interesting/of use! I've used the well-loved tune Brighton Camp (The Girl I Left Behind Me) to show how I approach playing both melody and accompaniments in various ways on the 20b C/G anglo. The video starts with me playing and then it goes on to a discussion/demo. Brighton Camp is used for a dance we do with my local side Bow Brook Border in Worcestershire, so when I’m not dancing I’ve been jamming along with melodeons/accordion/fiddle and a lot of their tunes are in G major. Some seem to lie easily on the anglo and immediately can be accompanied whilst playing melody. Others require a bit more thought and experimentation. Interesting though! Edited May 11, 2022 by Kathryn Wheeler I remembered to paste the url of the video directly into the text so you can see it embedded in the post! 8
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 That was extremely interesting, and very entertaining, and educational too. Nice to hear and see such enthusiasm in the music. And capabilities of the instrument so lovingly demonstrated 1
Marcus Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 This is really great and shows just how good a 20 button Anglo can be. Everyone strives for the 30+ button instrument but so much fun can be had with 20! Makes me want to get one! 1
