Hello, i use this organ in church and i don't know how to setting the drawbars sound like theatre organ. Can you help me???

[@mickypoo4622]

Most of the drawbars are just like 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 foot stops as with a church organ (different octaves, the lower the number, the higher the pitch). However, other drawbars are like the church organ "mutation" stops, which are not in pure octaves but usually in other intervals as fractions of octaves, to add brightness and colour to the sound. These typically will play a note a third or a fifth above the note you are actually pressing. Just experiment with one drawbar at a time and see what it sounds like. The individual drawbars also vary in the overall volume they contribute to the sound according to how far they are pulled out. This in entirely the opposite to church organ stops which are just fully on when pulled out. I hope this helps.

May you do a tutorial on how to play, especially when someone is giving a heart touching testimony ,story or something

[@robertkennedymusic]

I'm glad you're interested in that aspect of the Hammond organ! What you're looking for is mainly in the gospel tradition, not so much connected with jazz, and our focus on PianoGroove is concentrating on jazz for now. You can try searching using terms like "praise chords" and "preacher chords" and you'll find some sites that can help you along with that style of playing. The idea is really similar to comping for a jazz solo -- you want to reinforce the emotion and play a secondary but important musical role in the conversation with the soloist. But the specifics of how it's done are quite different, as you probably know.

What is the brand and model of the organ you're using?

[@hilbrandbos]

hammond b3

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Hi, Re "Squabling." I see you have an octave going on but what's in between? Is it 1-456-8 ? Can't tell? What ever it is it's the blues scale on those octaves right?

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Sorry I meant to say "I can't tell."(see)

[@robertkennedymusic]

Squabbling deserves its own lesson but unfortunately we didn't get to very thorough coverage of that in this first PianoGroove Hammond series. It is covered a bit more in another lesson or two in the series which is available to PianoGroove subscribers. The usual practice with squabbling, believe it or not, is to avoid specifically choosing the middle notes. Just let your fingers (often your knuckles, really) land where they land. The dissonance you get from that is part of the authentic sound.

[@robertkennedymusic]

... and yes, the melody of the squabble improvisation is definitely structured quite a bit around the blues scale in this example.

Esto me ayuda mucho porque quiero tocar rock en organo asi q bienVenido sea

So, if the 9th DB is not heard when Percussion is on, why pull it out at all?

[@ralphbloch6977]

It is pulled out so that when you switch the percussion to the off position, you get a different sound, like toggling between 2 presets or 2 sets of drawbars. Hope this helps

[@hilbrandbos]

The cleverest way is to set groove holmes with the B preset. Then perc makes you toggle directly to the groove holmes sound. Then you can use your Bb preset for something even bigger. Also contrary to what he does in this video set your lower manual bass to B preset and make Bb preset your comping preset. That is handy when you have a bass player or when you're able to play walking bass on foot.

[@organfairy]

Sometimes I wonder why Hammond players have drawbars at all. They only seem to use them as switches - full on or off and never use any of the other postions.

[@Illiyinmusic]

Well to dial in their own sound. Pretty obvious. And I move mine a lot for certain songs in my bands set. Depends on what the verse calls for. Certain licks to bigger endings. Being stuck in a stock setting on a keyboard is irritating

[@Flavum]

No mention that you have C3 (the highest chorus setting) turned on the entire time? It's crucial to the sound you're getting. Unfortunate oversight.
