_ [D] Hello and welcome to this video tutorial on the tune Popeye the Sailor Man and at
the [B] time of recording [D] this video this [Ab] tune is just about 80 years of [A] age, just
slightly over 80 years of age, I think it was written in 1932 _ [B] _ [D] for the character
[Ab] Popeye.
I used to love Popeye the Sailor Man when I was a kid, the cartoon that is,
and stupidly only just realized that he had one eye, hence the name, so how silly
do I feel.
_ _ Anyway we're going to learn the tune on this CG Anglo concertina,
there's quite a lot involved so let's get to it. _
_ _ _ First of all we're in the key
of C [G] major and so the bulk of your notes will be on this C row, the middle row [A] of
the CG Anglo concertina, [Ab] here and here of course.
_ It's a waltz so it's three four,
three bits of the bar, _ [Cm] so you're [B] counting one two three, one two [Ab] three and a lot of
the [Bm] time we're going to be doing our Oom-pa-pa, we play a bass [C] note like this
_ [Bb] two [C] notes like that for the pa, so Oom-pa-pa.
[D] But obviously sometimes _ we have to play
[Bm] something that isn't Oom-pa-pa on the left hand side and that's when we get
into the [Gbm] bass clef.
I've written the entire [Gb] tune out in [Dbm] two clefs, [G] treble clef
and bass clef and I'll explain that as we go.
_ [Dm] _ The first bar is a pickup [Ab] bar,
bar nought we call it, this is a bar [Gb] that's only got a pair of notes in it and they
come in on beat three, so you're going to count one two [G] and on beat three you're
going to play [Ab] those two notes, so the buttons you're playing here are buttons
[F] six and [N] seven _ on the C row and you're pushing the bellows in and fingers one
so you can see the little numbers by the sides of [C] the notes _ and there you
have _ [G] your first two notes.
Now you've got to [Ab] go into the first proper bar now, you
can see nothing in the bass clef [N] which means that it's going to be an Oom-pa-pa
and we're going to play [C] this.
_ _ _ Now you've just played a C and an E, [B] _ [Cm] you retain
the E _ [Gb] _ and you [Em] put a G on top of that.
_ [N] So let me explain, when we've got two notes
in the right hand here usually [Ab] the upper pitch note in the case [Am] of the
first pair, this note here, is the tune and [Ab] the lower pitch note is the harmony.
[G] _ So when we go into the first full bar, bar [Em] number one, _ [N] the G note which is
button eight pushing, [G] finger three, _ _ is the [Fm] tune and the E note, button [Ab] seven, finger
two [Em] pushing, _ _ is the harmony, _ _ [Ab] so melody and harmony note.
[Gb] So so far you've got,
[Em] _ _ _
[B] while you're [Em] playing those notes _ [Ab] in the right hand in bar one, you're doing this
with the left hand, you're going to play _ the C note, that's the C [C] bass _ [Gb] down here,
which is [G] button number one, C [Db] row, little [C] finger [Gb] and the pa-pa is going to be
[Abm] _ _
_ buttons [F] four and five, also on the C row, fingers two and one and those notes are
C and [C] E.
So [G] in other words you play a C down here, a C up here, octave higher and an E above [C] that. _
_ [Ab] The three notes that make up a chord of C major are [N] C E and G.
We're only playing
two of those notes here because we've got a C, another C and an [E] E, that's perfectly [C] fine.
_ _ So play that with the right hand, _ _ _ [Ab] I'm going to count that in from the beginning, _ _ one [C]
two,
_ _ _ [Ab] _ and that's pretty
