RH advanced; left hand zero. Don't need label as I'm not a piano player.

Me too. Although I did play a "mean" left handed bass on the Accordion.

Right with you, Jerry ... Of course, 'back in the day' both hands moved better than they do today ...

And accordion players can play bass lines and chords in any key with the same effort

Now when I strap on the accordion, I know how a pregnant woman feels

On the up side, the best keyboard players I know are from the accordion background. There are several reasons for this.. Accordion is taught, to learn theory, chords, technique, etc, all structured around circle of fifths (fourths).

Almost every accordion student that study, say 2 years, retained what they learned.. Compare to Piano students who studied even longer then 2 years... many can't play a single note

My wife took piano for 5 years as a kid... they must have done a lot of talking... she sure didn't learn anything..

Then there are the great piano players, I mean they can play exactly what is written in front of them .. Take the music away...game over. And few can ever retain in memory what to play. Call a chord change , and they think you are speaking another language.

Accordion Rules!!!!

"EVERY GENERAL TRUTH IS A SPECIFIC LIE"

Yes, but an organ player has to know how to use both hands and feet, and is way more flexible (And can be more comprehensive) then any of the above mentioned.

OK, back to OP:
Left hand good enough to play 3-4 finger chords ... right hand - proficient, but on solos only as good as my knowledge and imagination can take me ...

And I'm talking AKB, NOT piano ...

" What playing level are you at?"

Before Uncle Dave calls you out, NEVER end a sentence with a preposition.

Full chords with my left hand – My right hand is fair, uses lots of the Harmony effect. AND, it IS slowing down.

Ouch, John C.

PS, Accordion players always had a great right hand when they went to keyboard.
