Ok, here's the deal; the Gibson sounds great on some, acceptable on others and downright awful on a few, the VC sounds mint on all! Oh, and the Kalamazoo is fugly!
EVERY time I listen to this I am absolutely blown away by how you do it the EXACT SAME as Manzarek, look somewhat like him, and man that Gibson and Rhodes looks brand new!
I can do both good, but then when I try to combine them, it ends up sounding like a Car wreck, the Right hand does the right thing, and my Left just goes wild lol.
Hi , I just got a G101 given to me for work done.I'm missing the orginal pedals. Any advice you can give me? trying to restore it?Looking for a tech guru.
You can hotwire the connector underneath with a piece of wire and it will give you full output. Go to Combo Organ Heaven for directions. Then you can use a passive pedal on the amp.
@TBeanIV your a cunt, kilmer over played the part in places in the film, but his voice was unreal, very good portrayal in my opinion, of a very hard character to portray
@benzy199 no no no do me and yourself a favor go watch videos of jim performing and val performing and then you'll realize how sitty of a performance it is you dumb stupid prick!
@TBeanIV i,m talking about his singing voice you cunt, not the film, so do me a favour and read what i wrote you mug ''kilmer over played the part in places''
i tell ya wat av played guitar since av been 15 and listened to the doors most of me life , and iv never seen anyone come as close as this guy playing it , especially the light me fire version gets my vote all the way !!
I am a HUGE Doors fan and my request to you is to please record "Love Street " which I believe is one of the most melodic of all Door's tunes. It's obvious that you have the talent to make even Ray be a little bit jealous...I'll be checking back..Thank you so much for your contribution to Youtube...
Hey man you have got these doors songs down, i'm a huge doors fan and its seems like you are to. your one of the only people that put soul into these songs on here. great job!
Seems like the organs are a bit out of tune... (or the tape dno) (I assume that you've noticed and that's why my question is; Is it difficult to tune?)
I wonder what Manzarek used for the harpsichord effect on the album version? I know he was still using a Continental at that point, but the only Continental I know of with a harpsichord effect is the Baroque...
He was actually using both by the time Strange Days came out, I have seen live shots of them in 1967 where Ray is playing the Gibson. Also, there is a harpsichord effect on the G-101. It doesn't sound Exactly like a harpsichord, but close
Yeah, I agree. He was definitely using the Gibson by late summer of 67. I have the G101 as well and it nails the sound of the live version of the song,but the studio cut was definitely the real harpsichord.
Hi Jimmy, he used a real harpsichord. In this time he used an RMI 300 piano aswell, but also the RMI couldn´t bring up such an natural harpsichord sound.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Are you a music teacher? Where did you learn to play because you couldn't have possibly just "taught yourself". I assume you grew up wealthy also and may have taken lessons all of your life. Not to mention your equipment is expensive and hard to find for most.
Exactly. I've learned how to play piano at a beginner level just by reading books on music theory, practicing at the keyboard, downloading free sheet music off the internet, and listening to audio clips of tunes online.
I love this version the most, it´s on The Doors ´In Concert´ double CD. The Gibson sounds very awesome, actually your farfisa has also a very distinctive sound.
@serenities Hello. You are amazingly smooth, I love watching your vids. You are a literal inspiration. 3 questions: I wish to spend under a grand for a keyboard that can make the doors sound. Any suggestions? Taking requests, please do strange days next, I would love that. If you are in NYC, can you guve some sort of lesson? I am completelt intrigued by how it seems you must split your mind. I would love insight and help, even if just a reply.
I can match your passion, probably not your talent
@hateutoo100 to answer your question for a keyboard: if i were you, then i'd save money and buy a clavia nord electro 3 (costs, i think, around 2300 us dollar). yes, it is indeed expensive, but the vox-organ sound (and all the other piano, rhodes, hammond, ... sounds) are really great!:)
I own a '69 Twin Reverb myself, used for guitar. They are by far, imo, the best clean sound around. I just never knew how many key players used this amp until I looked into it!
So you plug the Rhodes into the Normal Channel and the G101 into the Vibrato Channel I am guessing?
Exactly, but the sound is 100% from the organ. I didn't used the vibrato and/or reverb on the twin. It's the staccato + sustain combination on the organ itself which creates the awesome 'filthy' sound.
Your transcriptions are rock-solid. I really wish you would publish them as they would be perfect for people like me who are trying to learn how to play. It's not easy to pick up when you're only starting at 32...
awesome man! really impressed especially since you have the real authentic gear!! brilliant, im kind of new to you tube myself and have just posted some stuff if your interested! cheers! ross

Hey Taylor, i use a Fender Twin Reverb, '71 silverface. And yes, this tube-amp does more than justice to these organs and the fender rhodes.
