Alright, so now we've gone through and learned both our hands on the accordion, so now we're
going to apply that to reading actual sheet music for the accordion. You notice first
of all this is our left hand, this is our right hand. We have six flats for G flat;
a lot of flats in there, that's how you know it's G flat. You notice we have a lot of notes
in our left hand, but it's really just root, chord, fifth, chord. Remember these three
notes are all played with one button. Root, chord, fifth, chord, root, chord. So it's
really simple don't get discouraged when you see all these notes. Just really read that
chord symbol and just find that chord, and then just let it go. Now G flat is the second line on the staff
here. So we have G, so if we count up; we have one, two, three, that's our fourth note
right there, and it's a natural fourth, so we play the note above it. Then it goes to
five, then natural five to six, so we this nice chromatic line here. Up to four, or up
to five, and then up to six. Then you have six, seven, six, five.
