Emperor Waltz in palmer Hughes 3 (piano acc)

[Montanagirl]

Hi, after being away from accordion over a year I picked it back up again and am trying to get to where I was when surgery rudely interrupted.

This has me stumped. In measure 6 is an E counterbass with a C maj chord and my fingers are all tangled up trying to play it. Otherwise they're pretty versatile.

How on earth do you finger it? I thought I'd had this much down pretty well and don't recall this problem.

 

[Scuromondo]

That’s actually one of the most straightforward combinations, given that E is in same row as C.

If you use 3-2 fingering for C-CM, then you could also use either 3-2 or 4-2 for E-CM.

Welcome back, Montanagirl!
As Scuromondo said!

"E" is one row above "C" so it is very simple to use the 3rd finger for both, that leaves the 4th, 5th or 2nd free for larger jumps (future use).

What I always tell everyone is... "THE FINGER YOU USE DEPENDS ON THE NEXT NOTE YOU NEED TO HIT...", in this case, the 3rd finger is the most appropriate and also the easiest and leaves you free for the "next note".

I'm a fan of the 4-3 fingering on major chords, so I would suggest to use the 4th finger on the counter-bass and the 3rd finger on the CMaj but if you are already get used to the 3-2 fingering, then.. 3rd finger on the counter bass and 2nd finger on the Cmaj.

 

[Pipemajor]

I would use 4th finger on counter bass and 2nd finger on C Maj chord.

Without seeing the tune I can't respond according to Jerry's rule, but I generally use 5, 3. (We use the pinky on the right side, why not rhe left?) So, as you can see, it's whatever seems right to you.
