Green Onions 'How To Play' - Part 1 of 3 - Bass Line During Chords - Slow Tempo

This video is primarily intended for use as a complement to my written guide for learning how to play Green Onions. If you are interested in my lengthy guide (grown to a frightening 1700 words last time I dared count them), ask in a comment or a message and I will send the guide to your YouTube message inbox. The guide also contains a number of general tips.

Hi micflosi

I've checked it out. Really great! That Lee Michaels, of course, I've heard him: a tour de force frenzy highly skilled organist. Too bad he got impaired hearing and had to withdraw. I think he was sitting in front of mighty Marshal stacks and such, and that can be taxing...

The Buddy Miles jazz blues organ trio track with Lewis was new for me, even though it was on Miles probably best known own record. Superb! I enjoyed every second!

Thanks!

Keep swinging,
