Wow. No comments on this yet. Thanks for the presentation. There still is no equal to the Hammond for sound and bite. All later tone generator Hammond are similar in sound but the B3 is the iconic model. Your 1969 is a classic. The Hammond organ was actually the first electronic keyboard instrument and as such found it’s way into the jazz and blues worlds long before rock. I have long called the Hammond the Harley Davidson of keyboard instruments. Original, rough, heavy, but unequalled sound and image. Once credible fully electronic versiYons came along it pretty well got displaced as a road instrument but still has a vital home in the recording studio. Now I just have a minor quibble with your three chord sequence . You name your third chord a 5 position minor chord Which is an easy way to remember it. it is more properly functioning as a ninth chord on the root with the extension , the ninth, on the bottom In that inversion and voicing. Mainly because your bass note is staying on the root. They have a term for this kind of voicing in the jazz world but I’m not there enough to remember it. Anyway, cheers. Btw I have a 1948 CV single generator. Been dormant for a while. Needs repairs loud hum in output. But that’s another story.

Good stuff! I seldom (never) play the root with the right hand (the note in the left hand actually names the chord) re-First chord: I often play the 9th (D) as well, for a real fat chord. re-Third chord: It's actually another C7/9....with the root from the left hand.

[@UniverseofKeys]

Yes that works too :). Thanks for your comment!! Have a great day!

[@heikkihartikainen9881]

I'm about to start learn to play keyboard and this kind of stuff is exactly what I've been looking for! What I need is to do next is buy an actual keyboard 😅

[@UniverseofKeys]

Do it ❤️❤️🎹🎹!! Thanks for checking out the channel!! Mike

[@anthonyruda2021]

So in a C blues, the third chord is a G minor chord. Could you also call this a C 9th as well? I call it that because the C is still playing in the root and it just sounds like it's in the "C family." You are a fantastic player, Mike.

[@UniverseofKeys]

That’s definitely a way to look at it that makes a lot of sense!! Thanks for commenting :)

[@tsunami979]

Man... I learned so much 2nite! And it's free. Can only imagine what you can teach me on your online course. I'll first master Riders on the Storm though cause that video is nuts. luv

[@UniverseofKeys]

Glad you are digging the vids!! Lots more coming :)

[@ianpritchard6375]

Just my level! Perfect. Thank you!

[@UniverseofKeys]

You're welcome!

[@acreguy3156]

Thanks!!! There are so many "easy" but effective progressions we hear but don't use. I often resolve a 12 bar on the 5 chord but instead of playing a G7 chord on the right hand I do a slide from B/G to Bb/G. Give it a try 👍. Thanks again!!

[@UniverseofKeys]

Cool thank you!!

[@acreguy3156]

@@UniverseofKeys Glad to help. I got that ending riff from another great player, like yourself 👍.

[@haluk2336]

Very good video, thank you. I realized that some organ players use also some passing diminished chords as well. Could you please also show them?

[@tp63us]
