Howdy fellows musicians!
I have seen a lot of simple versions of tunes in books for beginner piano or accordion (not so much in books on singing since they don't feature LH comping and so on).
This I assume would be cute if you were a little kid or just playing for your family and teacher.
Sometimes the books features a simple comping pattern for comping a fiddler or a singer (or another accordinist).
I'm not sure rhis kinda playing it would work if one were to play at a dance, jam session or wherever you play.
People might use other comping patterns than you. I remember one time when I played simple chord (and verry little bass line) and other accordionist used a descending or ascending bass line. It clashed a bit. Maybe I was the only dude who heard a problem.
At least we knew the key (it was a fiddle tune and mostly played in Am). I was lucky he didnt start with Dm. I just dont transpose that well right now. I am not that of an amazing pianist or accordionist.
But playing simple is the only advice I have gotten so far by experienced musicians.
I am not sure what this actually refers to.
This midsummer I played Dansen går på Svinsta Skär with only bass-chord-chords and melody (but it doesm't have beginner chords) and people were very satisfied.
So it might work this sinplicity thing if you are lucky.
What are your expert thougths on this and what are your expert tips?
And how and where does one practice this (by just going out and jam with the guys?)?
Or practice at home? Is this just like learning how social sotuations work?
I will have an accordion lesson next week. What would be the teachets role if we hace a private lesson)? I often ask thing on the internet forums when I realky just wanna ask people irl. I guess it could be due to teacher's don't have time or me not beibg good at social situations (due to real psychological issues with places where there are too much people). I have an asd diagnos but normal IQ. Some say too many pianists have it. Still they are good at the social kam situations.
I just need advice on where in the "irl" I can learn all of this.
