Jimmy McGriff Block Chord Style

An imitation of one my favorite Hammond players, the great Jimmy McGriff. He really plays true to the Hammond sound(this one has a lot of Erroll Garner influence)

Thanks guys...i love McGriff

I am a "poor man's version" of McGriff....props to him and another dude, Chris Foreman(Chicago?)..he is very good

[DRWJD]

sounds good...I got that LP called "Fly Dude" in 1971 wheb it came out...Jimmy is a killer on B3 ..I was born in Norristown,Pa. hometown of Jimmy Smith who was born on the same street .Of course Jimmy is credited with the way the B is played today , however my favorites are Groove Holmes, Jimmy McGriff, Joey DeFrancesco and Tony Monaco.

In 1971 I seen Groove and McGriff together In Philly at a concert called Black Expo.. they smoked the place out....

[mattdoran2006]

Agreed, i always like the way McGriff plays...he plays more "organistically"(if thats a word)...the strengths of drawbars moving + Leslie speed etc, block chords....i love his(McGriff's) version of "That Healin' Feelin'

The term is called Squabbling Check Tony Monaco or Joey DeFrancesco too it is used a lot! Nice job

[mehondo01]

very nice job I enjoyed the way you perfected the technique and how you kept your concentration when your kids were calling you lol

thanks for the good vibe

[philipcwelch]

Very nice indeed! I agree Chris Foreman is a monster who plays with Deep Blue organ Trio. I think there's a few things on youtube with his playing. You play a very soulful organ.

[suitandtieguy]

good job. you've got a lot of the technique down, i'd like to see you do this on a real organ.

[Triuntolearn]
