Playing the Notes, or Playing the Music? CPez Explains the Authenticity of Styles
Cory Pesaturo (“CPez”) has accomplished more on the accordion than most musicians do in a lifetime of playing. In this Pay As You Can session on Artist Access, Cory demonstrates how to uncover the core elements of any style or genre, then apply them to your own music making. Regardless of their instrument, all musicians will learn how to go “beyond the charts”.
Why is this important? Well, just because you know a Frank Marocco accordion arrangement, does not mean you know a lick about Jazz. Just because you play Charlie Nunzio’s version of Under Paris Skies, does not mean you know anything about French music. Playing a style at an authentic level takes years to understand, let alone master. Cory will take you through over 10 genres, and dive into the aspects and specific aspects of each, using just one simple 3-chord song as an example all the way through. The song will transform in groove, ornaments, tempo, key, touch, feel, and many other particulars as it is put through the paces of each genre. By the end, you will have an idea of how to identify certain details in a style, apply at least one of them to your to your playing, and hence, make yourself sound more authentic, especially when sitting in with professionals in said style.
