most amazing song
-
The guy plays crushing bass grooves while ripping up organ solos. He is not a human and we as listeners are not worthy.
-
kraz uses Digitech Talker
-
That is incorrect. He plays the bass keys with his left hand.
-
i can only hear the rhythm section!!
-
that's not the reason, I mean Neal is great at what he does, but that's not the reason they don't have a bass player. They started as an organ trio. Go study Jimmy Smith, Johnny DeFrancesco,Jmmy McGriff,Jack McDuff,etc...go look it up!
-
or your band will be no good? huh?
-
bass keys on hammond are played in BOTH left hand and the feet. Neal now uses bass keys which is totally different.
-
know these boys back since the B'lo days
-
The bass keys on a hammond are played with the feet, not the left hand.



I'm unsure if you're saying that them not having a bassist is either good or bad. But if you've seen them live, you'll know that there is no other bassist worthy to be in Soulive than Neal Evans' left-hand.

Ahh, I see what you're sayin. Only drawback I'd say with bass keys, is the absence of string bends and fret rolls. But Neal definitely makes up for it through his virtuosity.
