12 Bass Accordion Solos
I have received several requests for solos that can be played ONLY on a 12 Bass Accordion. WELL – there are TONS of songs – and this list is FROM SONGS ALREADY on this Accordion Blog!!!
You can find more on this blog by searching for Level 1-2 Solos.
Hints to Find Good Solos:
- Look for songs that have only 2 or 3 chord changes
- If you see a 7th chord – PLAY MAJOR instead
- If you see a Minor or Dim. chord – Play the Bass only (don’t play the chords)
- If there is only 1 or 2 measures that hit a bass you do not have – substitute the chord in your RIGHT HAND – and play NO BASS for that measure!
- You can play most songs in the Keys of C or G or F and sometimes D

Hi Shelia: I have an arrangement of Waltz ‘Cross Texas with a second part. I don’t know who wrote the music (2nd part) , but aquired it in a bunch of hand written scores from our former band leader. I did make a few minor changes on it. I will send it via email pdf file and you can give your opinion. I will leave it to you for playing level. I’ve look on the internet youTube and can’t find the second part. Thanks and thanks again for your blogs,
Bob
