Santana - Evil Ways organ solo

[herbseitzer]

3out, 4 up is this. On the second set of drawbars from the left is the only set that uses the percussion. You pull the 1st 3 all the way out. That's 3 out. The percussion in the upper Rt corner, is 4 white buttons that can be pushed up or down. All 4 get pushed up which is, ON, SOFT, FAST, THIRD.. This is a classic setting & is what you usually hear when somebody's jammin' on a B3. herbiethebarber on you tube or google it....

[herbseitzer]

1st of all I read some of the comments & one guy said it was too perfect &, it was pretty perfect, but, that's what I want to hear. I don't want to hear some guy changing up the way it was recorded. As far as the drawbar settings or stops as they're sometimes called. Jimmy Smith, who is without any doubt, the best organist that ever lived, set his drawbars & , I would say that anyone who owns a B3 knows this, I hope so anyway, like this. It's call, "3out-4up".  Which means, the second set o

Thanks, I loved it! I'm like Blessie1229, I played several instruments & sang all my life (50 years now) & never learned to jam/improvise (& enormously appreciative of those with the gift)! I *LOVE* vintage instruments of all kinds, right now my current obsession is Hammond organs + the genres of music that go with the generations of the instrument & great sounds you get with the Leslie phenom . Your vid shows a truly gorgeous instrument, wow. Thanks again! Peace, Kathy in KC

[Blessie1229]

Hi, I really appreciate your posting this online. I am a classical pianist and it seems hard for me to play stuff like rock music unless I have the music sheet. Can you please share me just the "Organ" lead part of this piece? I will really appreciate it. I am in a band now..and I seem to be the weakest link here despite my knowing how to read music.

[dtimm612]

@Blessie1229 I don't have the sheets, I just learned it by ear but check out the Hal Leonard book I mentioned below for the studio version organ solo

[mfcallaha]

close, but not quite...

[ThisIsSeriousStuff]

I don't mean to be rude, but if the player is sober this sounds too exact, like one of those roll pianos. I hope you understand what I mean when I say: You can play it, but somehow you can't, because you lack some acid.

[dtimm612]

Thanks for the comment, the sheet music is in the Hal Leonard book "Santana's Greatest Hits: Transcribed scores." Every instrument played is noted or tabbed out. There are some sites for drawbar settings out there, some better than others. Just search google for hammond drawbar registrations.

[dlm9293]

@FenrirLupus im very seriously considering it. about how much does a B3 cost these days?

[samhonegger]

what are the notes for the solo ??

great job dude!

[PoorOldRisingSun]

It's such a tragic trend that organs are no longer commonplace in rock n roll.  Great playing!

[SachikoST4R]

te geeeeeek

[Shelbatron1000]

Would you be willing to make a video showing how to play this solo? Or maybe even a video where I can see your hand better and you play a little slower. that would be amazingly helpful!



[SilentShot16]

dude your organ sounds incredible!!!!!! nicely done.

[ostieguy]

Very nice !!

[guitarpikz]

daaaAAaamn...dude, you are freaking good......thats the kind of keys we need for our band...lolz

[dlm9293]

damn you kick ass!

[dlm9293]

dude im thinking of learning to play the organ is it very difficult?

[dtimm612]

@dlm9293 It's a forgiving but very hands on instrument. It doesn't take very long to learn to play on two divided keyboards, but playing it keeps you busy and always trying to think ahead. You adjust drawbars, percussion, vibrato and leslie motor speed on the fly. There is a volume pedal for the right foot and bass pedals for the left foot if you really want a challenge.

[dlm9293]

@dtimm612 thats cool. is it similar to piano?

cuz if it is then im screwed lol

idk if id handle the bass pedals

so ill just stick to the organ

thanks though for the advice

much appreciated

[jasman92627]

oooouuuu muy bueno !!

[rem2496]

amazing. do u think playing this on a korg bx3 would sound much like this or is it just only the hammond that has that pacific sound. any way any chance of doing lessons of this that would make my life so much easier thanks great playing

[YusakuJon3]

That's a pretty decent run with that solo. I'm trying to get up the courage to go find a shop in my area which still has old Hammonds in it, just to see one of those things up close and maybe try my hand at it. Unfortunately, it'd be like trying to drive a racecar after spending 25 years doing a short commute on a rinky-dink ol' 4-cyl hatchback. I never did follow my instinct into learning to play on keyboards.

[papahemi69]

Could you please show a slower version of it so we can learn it too. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[TheWaynelds]

i want a hammond organ sooo bad. my grandpa was a rev. and he had a hammond b3 in his church but i was never allowed to even touch it. always had a huge interest in organs, especially huge pipe organs. great job sounds like the original.

[RayManzarekGod]

@TheWaynelds YOU WERE GONNA PLAY THE DEVILS MUSIC!!!!!!

[TheWaynelds]

i sure a fuck was.

[ShelsleySpecial]

I'm creamin'

[jmnpinheiro]

on 1:35 b flat manual the settings are: 8 8 8 8 8 0 0 8 8 ???Could you confirm this???and the other settings...vibrato...percution­???THANKS

[dtimm612]

The settings I should have used at that point are 888800088 on A# preset (there is no percussion available when using that preset), vibrato is on C1 for Great (upper) manual, Leslie tremolo (fast)

[RayManzarekGod]

SSIICCKK!!!!!!!!!!

[krishotsaucemiller]

stupid

[GibsonSantana]

Man id do anything to play Santana with you.

[dtimm612]

If you guys ever get to Minnesota give me a heads up, I'll provide the guitars.

I'd look you up if I go to England, but bringing the organ presents a challenge ;-)

[GibsonSantana]

Lol I can understand why the organ might be a problem mate lol! Ive been trying to get a Santana band tongether for years. Ive seen Santana live coutless times, and even caught a pick twice yay lol. I can never find anyone who can play the organ parts like that though....

[RayManzarekGod]

Haha just throw yer Hammond B3 in the back of the plane,

[johnnyfannucci]

shame we live so far apart i'd love to jam with you well played

[gietek]

great solo

i had VHS tape with that performance and this very solo - much better than studio version

* * * * *

[dtimm612]

Do you still have that VHS?

[gietek]

no but I wish I had...

[inthebluescrossroad]

im trying to find an organ with that type of effect, whats should i loook for? plz help!

[explosionmonty]

which effect do you mean? but if you want real hammond sound you need a console model like B3 C3 A100 with tonewheel generator...

[inthebluescrossroad]

sweet dude thx for the reply! but yea, basically i would like to have the sound on this video. Im getting into pianos and organs and this is Def the sound!!!! it just gets me you know, that tone in incredible , its like possesd church music!! haha

[169B3]

Thanks dtimm612 for posting this. I think this will help me do a better job trying to play this song.

[LinkBulletBill]

Nice B3! Can you please learn Lazy the solo and intro! Lazy from Deep Purple! I just want to see a real pro play it on a real B3! But one problem, you have to learn the beast, and Jon Lord used a Marshall for the Machine Head album... So you would have to buy a Marshall, but I know the Leslie can do the same effect, but it's not as string as a Marshall... So please! This is a special request!

[adityadave95]

Amazing job, I really liked it!

[rockerboy963]

wow man you are really awesome!!! I give a five stars!!

[gilus55]

@Sycsa

[NELLOARA]

BRAVO!!!!!

[dtimm612]

Well this was a video response to a 1970 concert where Gregg played this solo but I see that video was pulled...

[streetlegend21]

that organ is so sweet

[alt1962]

close.... little off.. but close enuf...

[boggando]

Gregg Rolie did it better...

[dtimm612]

No doubt about that

[xSpacexCowboyx]

Gregg Rolie. WE GOT GREGG ROLIE HEAR!

[Sycsa]

Awesome, thanks! Good thing you didn't put a Santana interview on it :)
