Thank you Tony! This is awesome.

[@musicarchives4u]

great vid, got a solina f219 just the other day, this helps a lot :)

[@boptillyouflop]

He makes it look so easy... How does he play that tight? When I try those simple notes, they fall off the beat...

[@debashishadhikary9030]

Great finesse. 👍

[@iTautra]

Wonderful! Thanks for this, inspiering!

[@Jon-Mark_W]

The Hammond is on the way and I need to be well versed in what my options are. How to change the sounds and get used to where the stuff is at so I can transition well with fast songs slow songs and quiet songs.

[@eliscasado6600]

C´mon Tony, get a good stand for that XK system. Thanks for the lesson...

[@rockemteclas5700]

@@LucasMartins-zv3oh espero que vc consiga ou se ja tiver um meus parabéns...Deus te abençoe, eu continuo usando VSTs ... Talvez eu nunca tenha...só Deus sabe da minha situação...boa sorte para nós 👍 Ah e eu sou um aprendiz tenho que ralar uma vida inteira para tocar estilo Tony e outros grandes músicos, cada músico tem sua indentidade creio que falta algo básico para vc detonar...vais descobrir ...a vida é uma escola garoto.

[@LucasMartins-zv3oh]

@@rockemteclas5700 obrigado meu querido, meu sonho ter um hammond também, tudo de bom pra você, deus te abençoe

[@adamjones9897]

Thumb drag is gold! Who would of thunk it?

[@cripzrus]

Lovely. What is the notes for the two ending chords at 7.07 please?

[@maximmaunz]

Thanks, I thought it was an XK-3c but the only XK-3c I could find only had one manual.

[@walter.tartaglia9574]

Tony Monaco organista virtuoso .

[@petrstransky6101]

In the first part of the video Tony showed the run in C blues scale, but he played the black key C# which is not in C blues. Was it a mistake or intention?

[@DoubleAncient]

Petr Stránský C# makes some of those patterns sounds more jazzy. Also it helps you to play scales up and down without "returning stairs" in only one way, because it is harder to play C-D#-F than C-C#-D#-F (just because of the bigger distance on keyboard). There is actually harmonical theory besides, and sometimes C# is not going well, but I am not very good with jazz harmony, unfortunatelly. I also like add clear D in those, somehow scale sounds more "classical", but still with blue feeling :)

[@sapien82]

that was magic ! thanks

[@halbertking2683]

Tony,Guide To Melodic Freedom In A 12 Bar Blues.Major Pentatonic,Minor Pentatonic,Blues Scale( Minor Pentatonic plus the flat five),Myxolydian mode.Add these up,the only notes not in there are major seventh,flat two and flat six and those can be used as passing tones.Who said it, there are no wrong notes only bad resolutions. Look up jazz keyboardist from my hometown Pittsburgh.Pa. Keith Stebler. I heard Keith playing with Eric Kloss.They were doing a swing blues and there's Keith on his C3 and Leslie annd he's soloing and he's holding it,holding it and then he hit the fast speed on the Leslie and it was like the room blew up.That's what I'm talkin about.

[@andrewhinds6560]

Cool stuff!

[@matrox]

😁👍

[@vbros7]

Cool video, despite the ridiculous comments. I'm a bit confused, though. When you demonstrated the C Blues scale, your high C is in fact an E on my Hammond L100. Checked with tuners and I'm good. Is your pitch transposed, up 2 steps?

[@pianoboogieman7290]

I know it’s three years late but checked out Tony’s tuning with my tuner and his is spot on so methinks your either your tuners kaput or your video is playing at the wrong speed my friend !

[@Trip_mania]

Maybe you are using the wrong drawbars and removed the fundamental tone and played some harmonics only?

[@pbenson56fran]

Thank you very much

[@michalgoreckipiano]

If I only had such a Hammond organ :D

[@valvetrom]

Instantly like the downward movement, brilliant

[@vansullivan236]

Great, thanks!

[@blksentra2]

Excellent pace for me! The "wobbly" organ was kind of distracting a bit. That's not a preference is it? It'd be kind of weird.

[@Musician-r5q]

[@michaeldoster4847]

Clean quick fingers! But, I love the pure analog B's rather than the digital, they growl more. Thanks for the Techniques! Play on...

[@KMNKeyboardVault]

Hey Tony i met you long time ago at Victor Pianos about 8 years back me and you had a Jam Session it was cool Im looking for a use Hammond B3 I need 1 realy Badly for my Studio Let me know Bro Kris

[@TheBmills415]

Thx a million!!!!

[@ztjam01]

What would be a good voicing for a left hand chord while using this blues scale

[@donaldstapleson5497]

Tony is playing left hand bass most of the time. If you have a bass player you are working with or are playing bass with the pedals you could use some simple 3 note rootless voicings. In he Key of C try E Bb D for the I chord Eb A D for the IV and F B E for the V.

[@retox2929]

so cool

[@pianodad123]

thanks Tony!!!

[@herkules8812]

I am pianist, so I don't know what are the inverted color keys used for. Are those keys normal and it's just a design or are those some bass keys or something completely different?

[@eltacodepastor9035]

Sounds like fire

[@198nikos]

Great man!

[@TonyMonacoFavorites]

Agree!

[@EarthWindandFirepower0990]

PLEASE COME TO EAST TEXAS AND TEACH US COUNTRY FOLKS HOW TO PLAY.PLEASE TONY,PLEASE.

[@gw3705]

CDEFGABC : Which are sharp or flat, in the blues scale?

[@theoragan7848]

Its a 6 note scale... C Eb F F# G Bb C

[@danieljohnsopardenilla997]

What other scale can I use in blues organ than just the blues scale to add variety?

[@ModalLarry]

daniel pardenilla you can use the major blues scale as well

[@ernst565]

I read it at Tony Montana's!

[@jmack619]

dammn that is great stuff!!!!
