Rock and Roll Organ Lessons : Playing Melodic Rock Hammond Organ

[MrBrianlowdown]

hammond sounds great

[TheNeverlasting]

is this the younger brother of Jack Black ?

[heartflee]

I got some request from you...hope can get ur reply soon =)

[YotaMoteuchi93]

Jesus Rocks!!!

[jamesjonesrocket]

expert village could maybe change it's name. what most people's argument is, even if a the guys are giving tips for beginners, they're not really experts, and sometimes give bad advice. This video is actually one of the better ones.

[skatethehouse999]

expert village ruined my life...

[Schilliebillie]

Thanks!

[garagebad]

"Hammer on" is a string instrument term. "Hammer off" isn't even a term. Did this guy get paid for this? There are no "useful tips" here. Move on. And drumsticks on the music stand? Classy.

[jigga699]

@garagebad

Tell me what is wrong with him having drum sticks on the music stand ? Give me 1 good reason how that is a bad thing?

[pedrocollares]

NICE WAY TO COMPOSE SUPERMARKET SONGS

[LSDpeasantry]

really hip changes dude.

plz join my band

[WinleyCZ]

what a waste of such a beautiful hammond organ.. on such a übercosmic pillock.

..an' that kinda thing.

[ade4u20]

Evidently a lot of people aren't considering the fact that these lessons are meant for children or beginners. He's actually really good, but he's explaining in terms that beginners can understand

[BLY13]

cool stuff. thanks.

[kaferere]

And now children, I'm going to teach you how to play the flute. You blow in this end and run your fingers very quickly up and down the outside. See you next week.

[nervmichnich]

another fucktardvillage episode

[wurstwasserpirat]

you´have a lot of fucking good instruments !

but you can´t play them not very good

[nathanielscott]

He may be an expert keyboardist. That does not make him an expert instructor.

[58Mellon]

Sorry man, guys with nice organs who are mediocre players and know a little more than absolute beginners.....should play and have fun en learn and and enjoy 24/7, but they SHOULD NOT TEACH!!

[gazuul]

i bet if the guy playing was a famous artist, he wold be worshiped regardless of the simple playing.. Fking trolls, all of you...

[lagunaalbums]

This is the level of "expert" I needed to convince me that it was OK to buy a Hammond organ and learn how to play it. His approach is perfectly unintimidating and suitable for the casual musician who is curious about expanding into the Hammond organ.

[JDHammondman]

not going to comment on the person in this vid, i'm sure he's a good guy...but:

a rock and roll hammond organ? Organ is simplified compared to piano? LH the rest of the band...right hand all an organ has to play? Hammer-on = grace notes?

Umm, we should talk.

[Marcel1979K]

This guy cannot play! One of the crappiest organ players I've ever seen.

[Jammoko]

@Marcel1979K

LOL Obviously you have not seen/heard my playing! But then I don't inflict it on others via YouTube, d'oh!

[LinkBulletBill]

HOLY FUCK!

this guy st-stutters SO MUCH!

lol

[RapIsDeadly]

I thought this guy did a great job in explaining what he set out to explain. He wasn't here to play a fucking concert...he was teaching about the Hammond organ and methods of playing.

[jonjonz91]

holy shit this is actually the first expertvillage video that made sense to me. That guy is not shitting, he's just not an expert. Lol.

[gamingaddictmike125]

@jonjonz91 this. LOL

[davwest7]

wow...interesting

[odinmp5]

the super experts comenting here should enroll in berklee for a b-3 super workshop wiht billty preston, and leave us the fuck alone.

this video is very good and i t has helped a lot.

those of you who think you can do better, please post your videos.. id love to see them

[niftman]

hahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahh­hahahahahahahh xDDDDDDDD

[zipperfoot1]

Lame

[judasretro]

Love that sound!

[Tonewheeldude]

??:)

[OutofthB3lue]

There is only one thing to say about this video: FAIL!

[abstractviewofu]

or rest the pipe on the high E and smoke the vapourizer with the other hand

[danicrazyfingers]

This is embarrassing. Lessons? It's obvious that you don't look yourself in the mirror. There are guys over there posting videos of themselves playing their hammonds, and many of them are just mediocre, but that's just fine because most of them are humble enough not to class it as "lesson", but more likely "me playing hammond". And that's great! What's embarrassing is not your plain mediocrity, but your pretended mastery.

[Soapboxblues]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh the note sustains until you release it!.........I guess that IS gonna change how the whole thing works. Useful tips!

[Jengborg205]

hahahahahhahahah

[noelbrandon1]

Craig does well teaching us the basics of hammond organ, however, he should release a video on how to start a hammond, that's just as important as learning to play the organ as well, if you do it wrong, you could damage it! these organs are not made anymore!

[Tonttufu]

I mean, I mean, you know, you know, I mean, I mean, you know :D

[fiat850super]

I think he`s a real player, but i don`t like the sound. Twinkly Hammond sound.. nearly Technics. Ush!

[93nicd]

Don't be so critical - It's meant for begginers

[hatchnhatch]

@93nicd but when you play a hammond organ you have to get the basics by a real teacher, not from youtube videos...

[93nicd]

@hatchnhatch

Yeah true. And plus, if you have a hammond B3 you're probs likely to be better than this anyway.

[Lordmore88]

what an unskilled fag

[hauskahirvi]

It's for learning. This is a very good video.

[valehathar]

u too, then both of you fags suited well to each other!

[pinholedstars]

if you're watching a youtube video to try and figure out how to play organ, this is what you deserve.

[Coltranized]

Yo, wtf is this?!

[CurtBrian]

LOOOL

[oscillatorion]

"Craig Dockery is an accomplished musician"...

Uhhhh... really? He has the playing style of my 6 year old nephew.

Shouldn't Expert-Village hire actual Experts???

[mafouger]

they never have and never will. biggest joke out there

[Howie262]

@oscillatorion dude what ever, he was more trying to get people to feel the style, not play a concert. Seeing that his organ umong other many insturments in his room im shure hes verry tallented....

Id like to see your "6 year old nephew" jazz out while explaining on vidio the style hes doing...........

Nice Troll-Fail, maybe next time...........

[JurasPriest]

@Howie262

Seeing a 12 y old kid at your local car dealer does not imply the kid can drive a car!?

Just a thought:

At my rehearsals there are many instruments too. I can't play all of them and they're simply not all mine.

Exaggerating: In my opinion you shouldn't call everyday different combination of notes a new technique.

But posting videos for ExpertVillage implies being an expert. He's not bad, but maybe Expert has to be redefined. Just my two cents.

[jvy012896]

@oscillatorion I'm pretty sure you cant even bust a riff on the organ while explaining the breakdowns buddy

[MrLino]

@oscillatorion When i read your comment, i thought you were being quite a jackass. I didn't started watching the video when i thought so.

[numanuma20]

@oscillatorion Or lessons?

[volk410]

@oscillatorion Sometimes I think experts at anything these days are sadly lacking.

[keyman2506]

@oscillatorion

He really is a pure amateur and - first of all - should learn to play his left hand chords in a correct way. These chords really are easy - but he is missing the right keys several times due to his bad education. Shame on Expert-Village!

[bronzmusic]

call me your hired !

[rocktunes]

Nice! Keep The Hammond alive!

[Letsride67650]

What is the title of this song ?

[speedo001]

thanks for taking the time to post this video for other pipe players and keep up the great work

[tomasouza]

kinda, you know, nice.

[uberdude101]

Thanks for these simple explanations. I am adding a Hammond virtual instrument to my recordings and I want to obtain a certain level of believability in my MIDI parts.

[saluyute]

u suck!

[KTownWho]

yo this video sucks. same with expert village.

[Gel1ebtedesregens]

expertvillage sucks

[Elu766]

this is soooooo lame!!! my granny who is an medics can play better!!!

[ElPopularVale]

the only good thing about this video series is the organ and leslie themselves

[L33THaXoRiz3d]

expertvillage is worse than aids

[hoestreicher]

RU fking kidding me?!?

[bajoverga]

expert village sucks my ass

[cosmotcat]

and you like it? You must, it's all you ever say, bitch.

[apsufan]

good for a beginner; and isn't that the point of these videos? It's not rubbish for a beginner:o)

[HammondR100]

And there was me thinking that this is an expert cookery site ;)

[metabog]

Expert village is just stupid. None of the "lessons" they have are actually "expert".

[angie4josh]

im starting a campaign against expert village.

[pastryhat]

il join.

[angie4josh]

just subscribe and we will all bring the giant to the ground

[jamahl]

@angie4josh i'm joining it

[dufusjunior]

Agreed. Im a novice bagpipe player, but I'm an expert by Expert Villager's standards.

[DiobloHunter]

Haha, So True.

[dufusjunior]

It is. Go look up Expert Village's bagpipe player. He's a twat. However, one of their accordion players is really good. He plays a tonne of various accordion styles.

[AndrewCopland]

Awesome videos!!

[mkl8000]

With the darawbars and vibrato, you can create an INFINITE number of sounds with the Hammond.

[Bluemaster555]

Dude! Your'e sooo cool keep them clips commin'

[keyman2506]

conceptless, incompetent rubbish!

[javannka]

Probably the same as you are...

[LinkBulletBill]

Hammond!

[daftweebrush]

uhuhuhuuuuhuhuhuhuhuu hammond. tit

[GigiAO28]

ehm...you should change the felts of your keycombs...is too chatty (specially in the last part)..good job!!!!!!

[Peter0656]

I don't think thats the keycombs - more likely the upstop and downstop felts

[ti54vw32]

your tips are very,very appreciated i have been playing my black hammond b3 for about nearly 15 years and my girlfriend and her friends are surprised that i can imitate note by note any deep purple song. especially the solo during highway star. i fuck around with the drawbars constantly to make my signature gritty sound

[Guitarstripe19]

2nd, and only 7 hours later. How very odd.
