Chords for Accordionist, Sergiu Popa, Demos the Value of Scales & Chords

I'm just trying to encourage you as much as possible to explore the instrument.
In order to explore and to play all this beautiful music which you play already, _ you _ must, I
mean you need to pass through these exercises.
They are going to help you a lot.
You are going to lose some time now, but they are good for the rest of the [C] life. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
If _ _ _ _ _ [D]
you do them, they were useful for [Gb] a [A] _ [G] _ _
_ [C] while, [D] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ [Bm] _ [Em] _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
_ _ so you could _ use them [N] anywhere.
But of course they start slowly.
_ _ [C] _ [D] _
[E] _ [F] _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [B] _ [C] _ [B] _
[A] _ [G] _ [F] _ [E] _ [D] _ [C] Your chromatic [Db] scale.
[Eb] _ [F] _ [G] _ [A] _ [B] _ _ [A] _

[Eb] _ [Db] _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ This seems like very impressive, but once you do it slowly, you are going to arrive
to this level.
It just needs to be practiced.
Chromatic scale.
Then the chords.
_ _ All of them.
Major, minor.
_ And all the keys.
_ _ [G] G.
_ _ _ _ _ Arpeggios. _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] You could have them [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ in two [C] voices.
[G] _ _ _ _

[D] _ [Ebm] _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [A] [G] The _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [G] same exercise.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [N] _
Bulgarian music or especially Serbian, it's a must.
They start from, I [E] don't know, age, from months they start.

_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [A] _
it's on a [G] different mode, but it's still [Bbm] the same two voices.
[A] _ _
Once [Em] you know them, you feel [A] comfortable, [Dm] just [C] enlarge. _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ And also if you could pass also your diminished chords.
[Am] All of them.
[Bb] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ [Ab] _
[Bb] _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] You add this in _ [C] your [N] 15-20 minutes warming up [Eb] exercises.

[Ab] _ [D] The _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [G] C sharp. _ _ _ _
