Hello
I am an accordionist, and I am in the process of creating a small musette orchestra ; I play mostly musette waltzes from the 30's and 40's, but with this small orchestra, we are working on some musette tangos from this period, and I realize that my left hand is very poor, and flat : I am content to play BAAA/ BAAA, etc.... I don't know how to do better, how to enrich my left hand to make it sound a little more "tango musette" .... The guitar and the double bass provide a good rhythm, but how can I improve my playing?
I thank you in advance for your help (and your indulgence).
Sincerely
Philippe

Hello In an orchestra the goal is that each one plays HIS part...if you have to play - solos - then drop the left hand and leave all this part to the bassist and the guitarists who will be able to do the rhythmic... If there are too many people doing the rhythm, there is a risk of slippage or shifts. A drummer ..a bass ..a guitar ..an accordion for the melody ..or a singer for the melody and the accordion is relegated to making mouth holes and small choruses.
