How I play harmonic style on the 20b - demonstration video using Brighton Camp/Girl I Left Begind Me

[Kathryn Wheeler]

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!

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

Thankyou!

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!

Go for it!

 

Thankyou very much!
