Video lesson " Gospel Bounce in G"

[aemeill]

hwere can i purchase this leasson on DVD? the link please

[rs82nh]

It does not sound as if the rotodrum speeds up fully when switched to tremolo. The horn is spinning away but the rotodrum lags behind. The Leslie may need to be serviced. Good playing

[ElderPinkerton]

Great video. You're doing a good job. I use the same mindset. I don't think in terms of numbers because I wasn't orignally taught that way. Be blessed and KEEP 'EM COMIN!

[hugokickfeen89]

wow this is really a good lesson . but since im new at gospel how come you said you wouldnt use it lets say a bass player comes to play with you and he hasnt practiced with you wouldnt he be type lost withought u shoutung the numbers?

[Soundofjoy]

@hugokickfeen89 the beauty of playing gospel music is that you flow with the spirit of the song...that is theres no set pattern. The number system restricts you to a pattern and prohibits you from going against or outside the pattern. I use the number as a reference to those who are bound by it.

[hugokickfeen89]

@Soundofjoy hey you know today i started to learn the circle of fourths and fifths and it seems like alot gospel songs uses both of them is this accurate ? or what can i learn as a bass player to get better at gospel?

[hemnjc]

...you played that, man!!!!! Billy Preston style,"Do Lord!"

[dmas81]

Excellent playing however like most really good organists, terrible teacher. Your 4 is not 4 notes away from your one. It's 4 intrevals away from your 1 based on the major scale. Why is it some of you can be so bad at theory and be so amazing at playing.

One more thing, you are not getting away from the numbers when you play, you are just finding alternate paths to get there. I don't care how you get to Wal-Mart, there are 15 ways to get there, but you still end up at Wal-Mart.

[dmas81]

Your bass player will still be playing 4 no matter if you are playing an alternate note or not.

[dmas81]

I wouldn't normally say this but with that nomanclature you will confuse beginning students attempting to understand the number system.

[Soundofjoy]

Thank you for your comments. I've never learned to play using the number system but I've found that many of the new musicians lean on this system. I talk to it but ideally I would never use it in my playing.

[JSB741]

@dmas81 - WHAT are you yammering about? He meant 4 "notes" based on pitches in the musical scale. He's not bad at theory - YOU'RE bad at interpreting information.

And if he's not playing the same chord progression, that means he's "getting away" from it. It's called 'slang', and you do not understand it. If he's finding a different way back to his tonic, then he's getting away from playing it the same way each time.

[ChrisCaesar20]

Can u do some preacher chords in the key Of G??

[Soundofjoy]

I have preacher chords in my course book in every key

[nathansgirl1908]

This is truly a great video. Thanks so much for posting and God Bless!

[bartonorgan]

Thanks for posting. Have learned more in five minutes, than five one half hour lessons! My B3 sounds better, and this will work well on a Theater Organ.

[maddenjunkies]

when you are doing the improvisation are you going in to a Gm Scale because I see a lot of Bb and Eb.

[Soundofjoy]

no I'm manly in G major7 with a G minor6. I find chords that are relative to the key I'm in.

[da1c2345]

i love ur traditional style

[motormusic1]

I so wish:

a) i lived in usa.

b) i had a gospel teacher.

maybe in another life...

[SP567]

JUST GRAND. Grand ole hammond church. Ain't nothin like it.

[Joelesque]

Dude how do you learn something like that? Were did you get that technique xD?

[Mooser42001]

I am very glad Mr. Tolbert made these and his other videos. I'm sure they will be incredibly helpful to many, as they are to me. Thank you very much.

To even aproximate Mr. Tolbert's Gospel organ style is for me, the dream of a liftetime. I finally got a Hammond (at 50+) !

[GodsVessel08]

AMAZING!!

[dllefonso3]

will you think about showing some techniques or tips for using the bass pedels when play a song on the organ. thank you and be blessed

[dllefonso3]

that was a nice lesson

[damonbuxton]

A • W • E • S • O • M • E !!!

[PP4theking]

DAAAAAAANNNG You killin it

[Franki28Mtl]

Is it a New B3 or the orginal B3 ? :)

[FUNKANDFUNK]

Thanks, for your work, where can i buy your DVD?, i will can to watch in Europe DVD system?, best regards.

[horseman1990]

Kinda reminds me of Billy Prestons version....

[JiveTaxi]

It sounds like you're forming some chords that normally "shouldn't" work. But if you have some imagination, they can work real well. That's where that jazz feel comes from.

[Mooser42001]

Chords voice and sound differently on the Hammond organ due to differences in its tuning scale. Between that and the FM provided by the Lesli speaker, very dissonant chords can sound "sweet".

Whatever works. Organists were once, by theological edicts, forbidden certain intervals, but those days are long past.

[MISTAMUSIK]

Very well explained. I can tell you are a real teacher. Even a caveman can understand your video. Teaching is a gift, many have talent but being able to simplify it and make where anyone can understand it is great. Keep blessing people with your music.

God bless

My arrangement in B-flat has the III-dominant preparing the VI minor in Ms. 11, which I guess would have been B7 prepping Eminor for your key of G. Were you using that at all? I couldn't tell. That was awesome though. Have to get back to Gospel more.

[Soundofjoy]

most of the time I hear the chord changes in my head without thinking about what they are called. Years of practicing :)

[CAAJDJ]

WOW!!!!!!!!! He's incredible!!

[hammondman2]

Are you using tritones in your left hand?

[Soundofjoy]

I use a mixture of chords and run patterns in my left hand. I tool years to develop and now I'm teaching the concept on the Internet

[dedrickp]

Can we have this in Ab and Eb?

[chevonee]

Thanks for sharing your knowlegde, you have done it again!!!

[keyed2u]

Sir, Once again, you have done it. You have the gift of teaching and I assume a lot of patience too. A lot of peole will definatley enjoy your style and approach of the instrument.

[Matyooo]

Fantastic playing! Thanks for sharing your knowlegde!

Greeting from Hungary!

[JetForceF22]

I love you stuff man

[doyalwalker]

I know this song its "Jesus on the main line" I remember it from the tent revivals of the 60's and early 70's I love the way you play/ ive been playing the hammond for about 20 years and am still learning .

[cdesha1118]

this song is do lord remember me not jesus on the main line lol. But it sounds like jesus on the mainline

[ChevyDude65]

I love your style. I grew up with this pentecostal style. Nancy Harmon plays the B3 like a BEAST! I played for her revivals for years and really miss your flavor of gospel. Joyful, life-giving, and ALIVE.

[Cartoonist62]

This is soo cool. I would love to play like this at church :D.

[cdesha1118]

Man you and ezra bufford are some of my favorite organists. However there is this one guy in memphis named derrick jackson I think. OMG..this guy is great. But I love your style man. How much do good organists get paid out there in the east coast per sunday?

[Soundofjoy]

Thank you, it depends on the ministry. 350 and up is average.

[cdesha1118]

Is this gospel bounce style prevalent on the east coast? Butch Heyward plays like this too right? I mean in the NY/NJ area is this the style?

[Soundofjoy]

It's a New Orleans style of stride playing. The Brooklyn style uses a variation and I use my variation where I play meldoy with the bounce not just chords as with the Brooklyn style. Butch Heyward is a good friend of mine also.

[papiblackchulo]

I want this DVD How do I get it and where and what's the Name? You Are so Blessed Man, Sounds Beautiful

[Soundofjoy]

click on th elink to my website ordering information there

[SkinnerBlues]

Sam that right hand riff or whatever it is called, wish you had the camera to where we could see every note you hit.

[Soundofjoy]

yeah, that my only Hammond B3 video DVD lessons, if I get a chance to do another I'll use two cameras

[jflowers10]

Nice playing....sounds absolutely great! Check out my videos W/hammond A100

[moneychey]

i liked it it helped me with the organ

[ebufford]

Great Doc' Keep playing for God dude'

[musicmaker85]

Thank you Sam for that video. I have a question about the number system. Now when you say C is 4 notes away from G, do you mean C is 4 notes away within the scale? So say you're in Eb...the 4 is an Ab because within the Eb scale, Ab is four notes away, and Bb is the 5. I hope I'm understanding this correctly.

[rjthakid1]

You're correct.

[Soundofjoy]

Yes, that is correct. I respect the number system but only as a guide to learning placement of chords in relationship to a melody line.

[Chris67968]

yeah cuz its 8 tones in a major scale,and when they call out the numbers they r talkin bout the tones.
