TTFATF on accordion

bad times:so I was stressin a bit when I did this one, so It's not as good as it normally would be, not to mention the poor quality of the camera, and my skinny skinny man-wrists (I swear it's the water here). My accordion has never been in for maintenence, and It's second hand to boot,now for the GREY zoneI have never taken an accordion or music lesson in my life with the exception of the recorder lessons in grade...4... that was what...8 years ago? most complicated thing we learned was f sharp? what a treble clef was? so that explains about HALF of the suck, the other half is cold fingers.The awesomeI have to learn by ear, so that means dragonforce (ooo tey r teh sp33ds tey r hard! WUSS) and accordion (NERD! (why thank you)) had a crash course of a month after I figured out the first bar of vocals. I can play metal, on my accordion. NUFF SAID. More to come, titles I know (most of) can be found somewhere in my journal at http://claybob.deviantart.com they will follow shortly. I live on the island of newfoundland, and am a strange little nerd who doesn't really give two -multiverbal explicitive here- about what you think. That is if It's completely negative, I know I'm not Ivan Hajek or Janne Warman but hey, I do what I must because I can (yeah I can play still alive as well)My own thoughts:this song isn't particularly hard, it takes in a scale of 7 notes for the most part, Nine for the smaller bit, and sometime in the solo it goes off my two octave scale, which I notice, as you can plainly see, when my pinky goes right off the keyboard and taps it for a few seconds. A much harder song to learn would be the mario theme (did it) or rick astley's Never Gonna Give You Up (did it). I have never played a polka on this, nor anything less heavy than "concerning hobbits" from lord of the rings (or saltwater joys, but I think the hobbits are softer than the sea) and I blatantly refuse to do polkas. Waltz? yes (mephistopheles TSB and Svaltvinter-Vintersorg). Blues? yeah (christmas nights in blue-TSB) but regular accordion stuff? I'll leave that to the sheep...being an aries doesn't help that argument, nor having any ORIGINAL talents, but hey, at least I've got the horns I'm saving up for an FR-7 V(accordion)and a distortion pedal, and finally, lessons.For aspiring accordionists, who are by some magic ( shh guys ) inspired by this into metal accordionism... I want to see, in six years, at least ONE major metal band with an accordion lead, shredbusting clear metal faster than Alexi Laiho and with more soul than Steve Vai (not likely but one can dream)Here's to the crew, who you never knew. This particular one is For Rach and Felix.
