The old Rod Stewart hit written by Gavin Sutherland. The original was in B major but I've moved it up to the much friendlier key of C major. I'm playing the tune on a Jackie English concertina and I've added some guitars, synth, drums & percussion. My lovely wife recorded the bass guitar part!

Black Eyes - English Concertina & Acoustic Guitar Performance

Beautiful tune played on a Jackie English Concertina which you can buy from Concertina Connection in the U.S. or Red Cow Music in Yorkshire, here in the UK. I used a Martin Eric Clapton Signature Model Acoustic guitar for the accompaniment. I used to play this exact arrangement on the piano when I was a child. I was taught by my grandmother to play the piano and read music.

Elise versus Troubadour Hayden Duet Concertina Comparison.
Переглядів 298Місяць тому
ERRATUM - at 2:17 I say that the Troubadour is only 5.2 inches across the flats. In fact it's 6.25 inches. It's actually 5.25 end to end with the bellows closed. (I looked at the wrong column in my database which is correct and can be downloaded from my website) In this video I compare and contrast these two instruments from Concertina Connection in the U.S. - the budget, entry-level Elise and ...

Portuguese Minuet - English Concertina & Harpsichord Performance
Thank you. I too faffed with the vocorder for half an hour and thought "I need someone to explain this to me." Problem solved!
You're most welcome!
Could I play this with a slide as I’ve a damaged hand?
Yes - as long as the action is high enough. Sorry to hear about your hand!
I upgraded a year ago and never looked back. Agree about the strap length, added some leather myself. Paid for the better bellows and it’s expressiveness is sooo sweet. It’s wonderful that Concertina Connection does trade-ins.
Glad you're happy with it!
oh no, website is dead now
nice! very comprehensive!
Hi Guys. Great video, thanks. How has it been in action?
Thanks. It's perfect for a small and like ours. My wife mixes the sound and operates the lights as well. Recommended!!
Thanks for a great lesson. looks like the buttons are organized similar to my diatonic harmonica. The harmonica holes are organized to play a C chord on the blow first three holes ( C E G ) and a G chord on the draw first three holes ( G B D ), Is the Anglo concertina the same ?
Thanks man.
as someone who wants to get into concertina, do you have any recommendations on where I should purchase one? thanks!
It very much depends upon where you are in the world. Hayden duet concertinas are very hard to come buy but the Elise is a very good budget instrument. It's available from Red Cow Music in the UK and Europe and direct from the manufacturer, Concertina Connection, in the US.
Thanks and made a lot of sense. I am not visually impaired but can listen without being distracted by a video. Whete I live there is no one I know who plays a Melodion and have just progressed from a single row to a double row D/G
Holy God. Ur one with the machine... That's the workflow I'm looking for. I used to program tracker schizz on Commodore 64.. I want the M8.
Hi les, hope you’re doing well. You used to teach guitar lessons at my school when I was only about 10! Well I’m now 22 graduated from university and playing guitar is still one of my favourite things to do, although I’m definitely a lot better now 😂 I just wanted to say thank you for igniting my passion for playing the guitar as it brings me a great deal of peace to this day. Wishing you all the best, Adam
Hi Adam, Lovely to hear from you and so glad you're still playing! My very best wishes to you. Les
I’m just starting out with my melodeon and this is EXACTLY the help I was looking for with the air button. Thank you so much! 😊
My pleasure!
Thanks
Thanks for posting all these M8 videos . Great stuff !
That was lovely!
Thank you so much!!
Do indeed like the sound of the troubadour more in the immediate sound comparison. I have played an Elise and have the EXACT same thoughts and feeling with those first couple notes on the left hand - takes a bit to make them fire - and when playing them with other notes on the right hand the C (on the push in particular) is lacking, although it seems to fire better when other notes are played at the same time for some reason. Other than that, the Elise has been great in my limited experience - but i Keep wanting to try a troubadour or peacock!
Hi Les. Thanks for the tutorial. I've been searching for this song played at the beginning of the Matt Hensley interview at Hohner. I had even wrote a tablature for it, but never knew the name of the song. Thanks again.
My pleasure!
Very nice. Those Deusenthings are so expensive. I have a Gretch lap steel with palm benders on it. Definitely a different experience from guitar. I love the fact that you're still trying new things. I'm 78 and just beginning my flute journey. Good seeing this, Les. Best wishes to you and family. 🥰
Thanks Skip. Flute eh? I bought one about 6 years ago - it took me about a week just to get a sound out of the mouthpiece! Not an easy instrument but beautiful when you get the hang of it. Mine hasn't seen the light of day for a few years. 🙄 Same to you my friend!
Thanks for the awesome lessons!
Glad you like them!
1:47 for tuning
Well done! Nice guitar too. Is that an EC 000-28 sigbature model?
Yes, it is! Thanks!
Outstanding
A…. This is great
Awesome, thanks so much for sharing!!!
My pleasure!
Great tune thanks!
Glad you like it!
Hey sir, I'm looking for more work to help me get back on track in life and maybe one day can get myself a M8 too. Im trying to do logi design freelance work vut havent landed any, do you know if anyone need a logo or other works as a freelancer?
Pretty damn good, man. Great job.
Do you have tablature for this?
I'm afraid not, sorry!
cool
Gilligan's Island if it were in the Spongebob OST:
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you for making and sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely ❤
arthritis in my left hand is the reason i changed my tuning…so much easier in the fingers
Sick remix my guy
Imagine hand straps that do not go to the thumb screws, but instead up and around your neck down and connected to the other hand strap. That way they will tighten around your hands automatically.
Thank you SOOOO much for these !!!
You are so welcome!
Great vid. Very clear. Now I’ll practice these things. Be well:)
This IS the perfect guitar to get the Gary Moore sustain 😉! And yeah this does chug beautifully!
DLL, Thank you for the time you took to make these videos. It's really interesting to listen to you; everything is well explained and it becomes understandable. Thank you very much
You're very welcome
Could i play that on a one row Melodeon in C thanks
I just had a quick try - I don't think so, sorry!
Finally good explanation and view what to press ❤
I picked up one of these today for $100 CAD. Definitely much older than yours, Les. I’m sure the original owner had new bellows installed at some time while she owned it because they are in pristine shape. I bought it from her 80-something year old niece who never got the hang of playing it after the old aunt passed away. I really appreciate your lesson here. A wonderful way to get started.
I'm so pleased for you. It's a great instrument! That was a bargain price!
Just planning to buy one from Robert Mandel. Really glad I found this review.
Good choice!
I have a Stagi Haden duet and the quality is very good. Its a bit big but I am an accordion player so used to bigger instruments. I had an elise and liked it but wanted more notes. Thanks for the video, very informative and enjoyable.
My pleasure! I'd like to try one of those Stagis. They get mixed reviews. How do you find yours compared with the Elise?
Cheers for this! (Now know I had a 20-button Anglo... this would have been great to know at the time). Curious, do you have a preference to play yourself? Ta again!
At the moment I'm getting into the Hayden duet concertina but really, I like them all!!
Wow! thank you
You're welcome!
Fab! what concertina is this please?
It's made by Frank Edgley in Canada
🤘
Great job. Cheers mate.
