Up Jumped Spring - Stradella vs Moschino system

Image
  Take a look at this chart (and even listen to the orignal recording) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khby51sf82s Lovely: now: if you'd like to play this with stradella, you need to do this   Have you got that? I don't.   On Moschino, you just play those chords as written!  BbMAJ7 - play Bb (1-3-5) or (1-3) and add Major 7 G7#5: Play G7 with sharp 5 (1-3-#5-7).... (I don't think I need to go on - This is why Moschino System is helpful for Jazz tunes)

AI generated Accordion images

I used Dall-E to generate these images of a "free-bass accordion". There are small errors, but they generally imply "accordion".  Interesting.

Open Chord Forms

  Here is an Open A diagram chord shown - 1 is low register, 3-5 are higher. Notes:  Fingering can 2 finger for Amin7, AMaj7 as buttons are adjacent This works for chords that fit - starting with low bass but may need alt 3rd or 7th positions shown. A/E (5th bass note), drop 1 down 5th
