The Most Important Drawbar Settings For Recording Keyboard Tracks!!
This is a small clip of my full breakdown of how to create a Hammond "pad track". It is one of the most common tracks that I ever get asked to create in the studio and this is a roadmap for you of how to do it. A pad track is a simple supportive Hammond track that acts like glue and pulls everything together :). It's all about the drawbar moves and adding energy to the right spots. This chapter will have play along tracks for you to practice to, which are awesome!! The song is the classic "Shaky Town" by Jackson Browne off the amazing "Running On Empty" album. It's about a 45 Minute tutorial but here is a short 8 minute clip for you to check out. I am also about to add 5 new Chapters to T...

Jon Lord Style Blues Lick
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.День назад
Here is a very accessible "spin" that Jon Lord uses in some of his blues solos. Sometimes these "simple" licks are the best because they can instantly integrate into your playing! Don't forget about the slow down tool in RUclips (the gear shaped icon in the bottom right). It is great for focussing on the details :)

    Nice tip, but these days you have a sampled piano sound on just about every fake hammond, or you can even add a midi to a real one. Plus, there's really no need to have a "piano" in your hammond to be able to play boogie woogie, as boogie woogie has been commonly played on hammonds since the 1940s! Try typing "Barbara Dennerlein boogie" or "Milt Buckner boogie" on youtube to hear how amazing it sounds when jazz's greatest masters are at work.

    Hey Mike, I'm vacationing at the Boston's South shore this week. I stopped in a local music shop (awesome shop btw), the manager got real excited when I told him I was a keyboard player. He took me around the corner to a 78 rhodes in mint condition. I played some of the blues stuff I picked up from your channel and a lot of my own. The rhodes had so much more soul than any of the digitals of today do. Mike your channel is awesome, I can work these bits of knowledge into my playing when the time allows. One day when I have enough time to commit I'll sign up for one of your Master classes.

    Well I know that certain drawbars add 5th or maj 3rds from the note you’re playing. Does this clash when you’re playing minor chords? For example.. you add the drawbar that adds a maj 3rd and you’re hitting a G minor chord but it’s adding that B.

    Pipe organs are able to simulate many instruments, especially wind instruments; stringed instruments were more difficult but also attempted. Theatre organs added percussion, and much more, including brand new pipe sounds, vibrato, and more Long before the invention of the Hammond / tonewheel organ. 😎
