MAGIC CARPET RIDE (2) performed by Dante Star AKA Danny Ward

[@lunabluevinemassacre6182]

this is amazing

[@cforssi]

Great sound man!! You rock on this tune. I love the Hammond sound.

[@thomaspick4123]

But, weren’t the hits performed on a Lowery organ?

[@000AllLitUp000]

If you want another 20k views you should do a short walkthrough of it. The verse and chorus is pretty self explanatory, but the slapping and your take on lead would be cool with an overhead view.

[@DanteStar7]

You are right Dale and I wish I had done that but I have moved on to other things now. Around 10 years since I made the last Dante video. So, sadly, I seriously doubt I will ever do another video. If there is anything I could help you with just by a message here, I would be glad to

[@59Rosco]

You always seem to wear green shirts. If green is your signature color, why have you not done "Green Onions"? This is the signature B3 rock 'n' roll riff all others will be measured against. But you know that.

[@jamcofec]

Respect Dante from Oz. Might get a setup a bit like this... if the wife lets me!

[@CowboyNQ]

Love your work. Thanks for posting!

[@hadidjuhartono7090]

always reminds me on my favourite Star Trek movie, Star Trek First Contact...

[@FunkySpunky91]

+Hadi DJuhartono everytime! Definitely my favorite Star Trek Movie too!

[@immerrocknroll]

My favorite tune by Steppenwolf ... keep them coming!

[@Loraine70]

sure wish someone had the sheet music to the solo, can't find it anywhere your version rocks

[@Innuendo944]

YOU ARE SO EPIC MAN. RESPECT.

[@digitalmedia6457]

YES ! The sound of my youth!!

[@stevestokes1963]

Hot damn dude! Nail it.

[@jcaposello]

this guy is gnarli !!!!

[@4hammonds672]

i feel the same way like you about keeping the original parts, in fact, i have already replaced the can capacitors with new set of can capacitors to keep the amp looking just like the way it came from the factory. although i had the option of going with much cheaper radial leads capacitors mounted under the chassis. but i decided to pay more and kee the same look like the original. i'am doing all this work my self

[@jkyles1000]

Fantastic job!!!

[@wobbegong-u4r]

You remind me of Robert Downey Jr for some reason. ;) Cool performance!

[@DanteStar7]

Ha, that is funny Sketchy, never hear that before but I guess I can see that just a little bit. I do think RDJR is a VERY talented individual.

[@jonnyDmay]

Thanks that was terrific :) Just learning it myself.

[@DanteStar7]

Thanks Jon, have fun. I'm friends with Goldy McJohn on fb. He is the Steppenwolf keyboardist that played that song. He was telling me how he got that amazing sound out of his Hammond back in the day. He did an amazing job on that and many other Wolf songs. He is one of the few Hammond rockers from back in the day that is still with us.

[@jonnyDmay]

Very cool. I learned about unhooking the crossover and horn just yesterday during some web searching. I'll have to be content with whatever I can wring out of my Electro and Ventilator :D

[@williehill7909]

❤❤❤ wow.

[@RickDrift]

All the guitar lessons and covers sound off but you are spot on. I would love to pick your brain, Is it the key sound that gives the chords that character or is there an added 5th or 7th? all the guitar lessons I look up seem to sound so bland. I find it hard to believe that the guitar is as simple as bar chords. The guitar lessons sound off but you sound spot on.

[@DanteStar7]

Tell me a spot by the clock and maybe I can tell you what I played.

[@RickDrift]

@@DanteStar7 Right from the start, The main chord progression. Maybe the keys have a added note to the chords? Every tab or video lesson is just playing bar chords and it does not sound like the original song.

[@RickDrift]

@@DanteStar7 or maybe an effect like chorus does it?

[@DanteStar7]

@@RickDrift I guess the first chord I'm playing on the intro is an E9. It has from lowest to highest D, E, F#, G#, B Then I play D, C, G major chords for the verse. On close your eyes girl I play G, Bb, C and work with a G7 with some accidental tones tapped in there. That is really about it. A real Hammond and Leslie go a long way on this song. Where are you from anyway generally? Just curious.

[@RickDrift]

@@DanteStar7 Michigan, Fairly close to Detroit. but yeah, Im almost thinking its the Organ sound mixed with guitar giving it that character

[@4hammonds672]

what a talent dude, what year was this organ built? must be from late 60's or 70's

[@DanteStar7]

Actually this organ started as a B2 around 1950. I converted it a couple years ago using the pre-amp from a B3 that used to belong to a guy named Toby Brixey. I got the smooth drawbars from an organ on ebay and about 40 hours of work later I had a B3. They started making B3s in 55 and stopped in January of 75 I believe. They will never make another real one. Save the Hammonds!

[@fernandorivas4230]

i just recently finished recapping the tone generator of my 1960 RT3. the next thing will be to restore the ao28 pre amp by replacing all of the resistors and the electrolytic can capacitors. i'am gonna guess that your ao28 pre amp has been restored as well...either with new resistors and can capacitors, or with the trek II restoration kit!. it sounds incredible1

[@DanteStar7]

Thanks, I had a Hammond Tech go thru my pre-amp and replace all appropriate parts to bring it up to spec. The Trek 2 stuff is all fantastic! Mike who owns it is a wonderful guy. Man, he has been good to me and I have bought lots of his stuff but when possible I like to keep the original Hammond parts. Let me say again Trek 2 has got to be one of the finest and most reliable businesses in operation today. I can not recommend them highly enough.

[@DanteStar7]

How's this for quick answer? I think that was a g7 chord with no third. I used the c# for a little accidental tone. Don't play the c note as you tickle the octave g the 7th and the 5th. It is also about rhythem. Put it all together and that is what I did. Hope your gig goes well tomorrow.

[@alexha737]

wow nice

[@cinnomonsinner]

Why dont you come with me little Dante? on a magic carpet ride

[@vladimirpudin2796]

Don't suppose I would be lucky enough for you too have sheet music for this or anything like that would I?

[@DanteStar7]

+aidan pracy. +Hadi DJuhartono Sorry, I don't have anything written down on it. If you need help with chords let me know.

[@vladimirpudin2796]

No worries though with the chords that would be great help!

[@DanteStar7]

D, C, G........... Close your eyes girl is G, Bb, C, G9 Drug section....lol is just E9 variations Try to pick up what I do with these chords. It's the little things that make the difference. I hope this helps you. Have fun.

[@4hammonds672]

it looks like a b3 to me, it has the percussion control tabs like a b3 and sounds like a b3. i guess the tone generator has been recapped? i'am trying to keep my hammonds alive!

[@DanteStar7]

Ya, the percussion came along with the smooth drawbars when I installed them. It is a b3 now except for the little plate inside it that says b2. They did make some improvements on the twg in the 3 serious but really I think it was just about cross talk. You hear what sounds like. Looks like a b3, sounds like a b3. Ya, I recapped the gen. but I have another b2 that I did the same thing with and it sounds great as well even though I did everything BUT recap it.

[@wesleyxavierdasilva1423]

Muito bom! Parabéns!!!!

[@musiceducationvideo4111]

Fantastic

[@richardgordon8110]

WHO IS THIS GUY????????

[@sglynn]

Please what are the registration settings on the B3?

[@DanteStar7]

LOL just happened to be sitting at computer. This is probably the only song that I play with all drawbars all the way out. C3Vibrato.

[@thomaspick4123]

That’s mighty white of you to share the drawbar settings. Thank you.

[@DanteStar7]

Sorry, I don't have any sheet music. If you need help with the chords I could try to help you there.
