I’m so impressed with your keyboard knowledge and skill set. You seem to have such a good understanding of many different music genres. You’re at home playing blues, pop, rock, boogie woogie, a little jazz. I wish I could be as versatile.
I don't know anything about music. I love your style because it allows me to experience the mechanics of music as a progression from something so basic into something so soul stirring. Thanks bud...
This is a great video Jack - really helpful and easy to follow. I know it's a bit controversial, but you can always learn this in the keys of C, F and G, which have those handy slide notes, and then transpose the whole keyboard up or down from either of them (e.g -1 and play in F if you are playing an E blues, which is common with guitarists). It's kind of cheating I guess, but if it sounds good then who cares! Please keep up the great Hammond / piano videos, they are a goldmine to learn from. Perhaps one about how to fit an organ in with a uptempo blues rock number would be cool. Cheers!
Great video for someone like myself who’s just beginning to explore the organ. Thanks for keeping it simple and applicable, and for getting me psyched to play!
When an amazing expert humbles themselves by nature, this is what you get. No forced, ego-driven tutelage, just straight knowledge, from base to expertise! Thank you Sir!
Seeing as this is a video about the Hammond Organ, I think a shout out to Joey DeFrancesco is necessary. R.I.P Joey D, truly one of the greatest to ever touch the instrument.
After some instructional videos I know that the guy in the video is great. After your videos I know how to do it myself. That is what makes a great teacher!
Thanks for the great lesson and the shout out. I'm going to clip it and play it for my mom, (that's mum in Google translate). Do you ever pulse 9ths instead of 7ths? I'll try the #9 before the IV bit. Thanks again.
Would love to see player styles lessons on the organs, like Rick Wright, Keith Emerson, Ray Manzarek, Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman, and others from that late 60s/early 70s era..
Wow - I come from classical piano but got really excited about playing proper keyboard in a band and these tutorials are SO good and easy to follow! Thank you so much for just sharing these with anybody out here on RU-vid!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your way of showing stuff that is important is really great. Looking forward to many other similar tutorial videos! Cheers:)
Practicing to background tracks will change your life…..timing, rhythms, solos…..all improve almost like playing with actual players. Another great video Jack!
Mr. Danish Pete Honore will not agree, that #9 chords are uncommon on guitar. And so does Jimi Hendrix ;) - great vid. Should have taken a keyboard on vacation ...
The sound track sounds nothing like authentic Chicago Blues, the kind you can hear at Kingston Mines, the Blues, Rosa`s or other bues venues ... whoever wants to play Chicago blues must feel it first and if they don`t they should not even attempt it ... blues is about the feel not random blue notes played for no reason ... this just sounds fake
as an American Hammond organ player of 35 years and someone who has been to Chicago numerous times (where Hammond organs were made,) I can safely say that no one could possibly know Chicago Hammond organ blues better than some chap from England.
