Your First Jazz Voicing for Left Hand | Free-Bass Accordion Basics

In this video, we start with a simple jazz voicing for the left hand on free-bass accordion. First, I show you a basic shell voicing: root, 3rd, and 7th — the key notes you really need. Then, we practice it around the cycle of fifths, so you can get comfortable with it in every key. After that, we practice inversions of major, minor, and dominant 7 chords — to build strong left-hand shapes. At the end, we use these ideas to play a real jazz standard — first with only the left hand, then with the melody too. 🎶 Join my growing library of free accordion exercises → https://subscribepage.io/accordionstu...
