CLASS MATE

[TxTFamGuy1]

Top ranking! Inner london violence is my favorite Bad Manners song. Keyboards are what I love best about the Jamaican sound. It is so cool to watch someones hands while they play reggae and ska.

[Guitarzan6969]

more vidoes please

[nihilmediumest]

great!

I´m actually begin play keyboards in a band. yours videos are very useful for me. I´m waiting for the next one. Thanks!

[MrNuttylee7]

Brilliant mate,great playing,youve definately got the ska technique. Im gonna cover this one soon.

[DziaraMara]

świetne ;D

[dvdpz]

Fuckin' loved it! now i want to buy a roland vk7! haha

great video 5 stars! if i could give you 500 i would!

[GaryReggae]

Thanks for the compliment! Yes, the VK-7 sounds superb, I love it. The only problem with it is lugging it around, for a 'portable' organ it weighs a ton, but it is built like a tank!

[dell1240]

[trane818]

please i know most of it because of watcing your vid over and over but i need the fast solo part please tutorial on that please dude please!!! im just 14 and im in a ska band and i wanna cover this song... please

[GaryReggae]

Hi, thanks for your interest! I'm pretty sure the way I play that solo isn't the same as the original but anyway, the first part (which I think IS the same as the original) is just the three notes of the Cm and F chords played individually (so G > Eb > C 4 times then A> F > C 4 times) then the rest of it is basically improvisation using the notes of the blues scale in Cm...

[GaryReggae]

Use only these notes for the blues scale: C, Eb, F, F#, G, Bb. It takes some practice but try going up and down those scales fast, that's basically what I do in this solo, it's similiar to the notes in some songs by The Stranglers. Hope this helps, let me know if you want any further help. Good luck!

[trane818]

[982Munchie]

Wow, looks difficult. What do the budgies think?

[Euxtonian66]

Wow, reminds me of the Dance Craze album and the mod revival of 79/80. fred perrys, scooter girls and lambretta's

[husodidi]

very nice

[davecoolsdf]

this organ is too legit damn. nice playing.

[jcbx77]

thanks for giving some insight on how to play ska on a keyboard It's driven me nuts trying to figure it out. Awesome playing too brah! keep it up.

[karmalamma]

exelente videoo! pero tengo 2 dudas

1 hablas español?

2 si es así, podrias recomendarme algo para aprender un poco de tecnica de ská en teclado?

[agghtee]

¡forme las cuerdas que usted quiere jugarlas y dar una palmada abajo en la posición respecto al golpe!

[olivares0803]

para poder hacer un organo con ritmo de ska.. asegurate ke tu mano derecha siga el pattern (ritmo) de la guitarra ritmica del ska, y con tu mano izkierda trata de seguir los pasos ke hace el bajo o sino sencillamente puedes hacer acordes , pero recuerda siempre en seguir el ritmo ke hace la guitarra ritmica en el ska ;) good luck..

[DolphinRevolution]

Just wondering... during the verse when you're striking the chords with your right hand how do you create that ska rhythm? Do you strike the notes in the chord at the same time? or do you hit one note then strike the rest? For example, on Cm do you strike C first then Eb and G at the same time? That's what I'm having a tough time with...

[GaryReggae]

Thanks for your comment. On this song, I hit all three notes in the chord at the same time although doing them separately works quite well for some songs. It took me ages to get the ska rhythm right, the trick is to play the chords very quickly with the right hand and on the offbeat, I'll try and explain, L is left hand and R is right hand and 0 is don't play anything:

LRLR0RLR

The pause creates the distinctive rhythm and as I said, hold the L hand notes down slightly longer than the R hand

[DolphinRevolution]

Thank you very much!!

[and36y]

Really good, quick question, what draw bar and percussion settings are you using ion the VK.

Thanks

[GaryReggae]

Hi there, the drawbar registration I used is 929292909 although it also sounds good with the 1' drawbar pushed in all the way. No percussion, but I used a little bit of overdrive and the onboard 'Leslie'

[rivercidal]

Amazing keywork! The VK7 sounds great! Hope you up load more Bad Manners songs, preferably "Just A feeling"! Also if you do, could you post the chords? Massive respect!

[zibe2006]

could you send me the music sheets on that it was awsome

[GaryReggae]

I haven't been able to find any sheet music for this song as it's fairly obscure.

Here is my version of how to play it:

Intro:

chords (right hand) Cm F

bass (left hand) Eb D C  F# F

note: the left hand is only single notes.

Verses/chorus (same chords and bassline), play with a ska rhythm

Right hand chords: Cm and F

I can't remember the bassline as I'm not in front of the organ but you can get away with repeating the intro bassline

Should get you started.

[zibe2006]

thanks for that i appriciate it but watching you play again has made me realise i am a long way off your level

regards

chris
