[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
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.

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

[N] So let me explain, when we've got two notes

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
