MIDNIGHT SPECIAL

[TeamTakeAway]

Can you tell me how you play the melody from the Bbm chord?

Or are there any sheets for this?

[ImaniHekima]

Superb, thank you for sharing this with us.

[AlainProviste55]

This is so beautiful played. Where can i find a partiture (sheet music) from this famous Hammond song.

Best wishes from Flanders Belgium.

[rage21891]

this is how the ham is played ladies and gents

nice throb on the vol pedal

[jazzman254]

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to listen to the music and to write comments. I really appreciate.

[showmesoul]

Makes me feel like I did listenin' to JS at The Landmark in KC, Missouri back in the early 70's.

Thanks for the grooves!

[danitz56]

Do you use pedal bass too?

[jazzman254]

Yes sometimes i use it as a bass drum, just tapping on one note. Once in a while i hit a target note to give a certain accent to the bass line i'm playing with left hand. And i also double the complete bass line during certain passages.

[danitz56]

nice! the organ sounds great....who maintains it?

[169B3]

Had to come back and listen to you again!! Sounds so nice!

[ksenos69]

very nice touch

[byzantine15]

A lot of people 'sort of' do the bass line thing, but most of them don't get the groove right. Kudos.

[JetForceF22]

Bad ass, I wish I had a Hammond, its way out of my budget though :( Friggen college!! You are really great, you inspired me to make a video, The Sermon, I learned it, but I messed up a lot in my vid. Plus my keyboard doesn't have the hollow touch of a organ. Great stuff man, look forward to more!

[gcpezzi]

Hey, thats really great.

I really dig your basslines. Well, actually... your whole playing style is great.

You really got that sputter going for a while uhn?.. :)

Nice job man...

[amd77j]

Man, you rock! And this is why I love that darn Hammond B3 organ.

[hugleberthumperdink]

[BigEasyBlues]

Very well done! One question: what settings are you using for the head of this song in the upper manual?

[joeljjison]

very nice jazzman with lots of extra letters! really bouncy feel, and lots of cool stuff for me to watch bits over and over (some with your there is no grater, luv).. cant wait to check out your other stuff!

[pyltri]

[rblakley4]

Dude you're off the chain...love your style ...you did jimmy so justice...would love to play with you someday, you got some flava.

[EddieLandsberg]

This is so spooky... I learned to play the organ by standing next to bandstand at clubs... for example at SHOWMAN's, and between getting wacked in the face by the bathroom door study the organists LH... and this was the exact angle I remember (between bashes to the face.) Do you have a group together... you got the sound!

[69B3]

Really enjoyed your playing style. I want to get this song down like you play it. Thanks so much for posting.

[dannebrog2004]

Great! Just great... The technique, the left hand walking bass. Wish I could do that! I am used to play the bass lines with my feet, but nevertheless - my right-hand abilities aren't that developed... Listening to that I hear a real prof.

[yukes000]

It would sound amazing with guitar and drums. Not that it doesn't sound great now.

[cooloongup]

hopeless.i defy anybody to name that tune without knowing

[agento86]
