I love this format of explaining the simpler stuff and then showing some more complicated stuff. Another wonderful video, Mike!

[@UniverseofKeys]

Glad you enjoyed :)

[@TredenWagoner]

Glad to hear you have been busy. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@UniverseofKeys]

You are most welcome Treden. Thanks for watching!! Mike

It still amazes me How changing just the bass line and the rhythm can change how the same notes sound so drastically.

[@UniverseofKeys]

Absolutely!! It almost makes it sound like a different lick!!

[@chriseisen685]

Yet another great video! Thanks for sharing another tasty rundown on the Hammond. Extra points with the kick ass Garth Hudson for PM with the reverse preset keys.

[@UniverseofKeys]

Long live Garth!!!!! Thanks for watching Chris :)

Thanks, Brother Mike! Love this stuff. I hope touring was fun. This drummer/guitar player now has an m3 , Rhodes mk1, and a beat-up 1926 story and clark in his living room. Lol

And so it begins, the never ending vintage gear collection. If you ever need anyone to help you justify more purchases always here for you. 🤣

In a Station is one of my favs. I only have one manual and these lessons are really awesome. Our house is too small for a real Hammond….lol…Thank you.

[@UniverseofKeys]

Haven't heard that one, will have to check out! Thanks for checking out my channel :) Mike

Garth is the only member who's still with us. I wonder what he's up to these days? Like me, maybe just hanging out -- chronic disease, pain, and loneliness are only a few companions of aging that can zap one's energy. Well, I hope not. Garth is a complete musician; he plays keyboards, solos on reeds, brass instruments, and more. He did much of the arranging, too, from what I've seen in film clips. Wikipedia has its problems, but I learn a lot from their topics about so-called Classic albums. The Personnel section is especially interesting when it contains more information than the album cover. The listing for their self-titled 1969 The Band release lists Garth Hudson playing: organ, clavinet, piano, accordion, melodica, soprano, tenor and baritone saxophones, slide trumpet, and bass pedals. Garth added so many colors to their music that without him, The Band might have been just another folk/rock group that never caught on, even with all that up front talent. Ironically, few fans know his name. God bless Garth Hudson. 🙏🏼

You are absolutely right! Garth is not only a Canadian Treasure he is a musical genius that has had a worldwide impact on so many. I appreciate your thoughts on his musicality and contribution. Long live Garth!!

Hello :) I thought I was sold out but I do have 3 larges left. If you want one send me an email at [e-mail] I don’t know when I will make more to be honest.

[@4chanbannedband570]

"He literally wrote the book on Hammond organ..." *web search* no organ books by Jimmy smith. Does "literally" mean something different in Canadian, eh? LOL!!!! Another good vid. quite helpful to for a talentless hack like me! These licks are everywhere, though most people don't know where they came from.

[@UniverseofKeys]

Hahahahaha. That made me laugh!! Thanks for watching the vids eh.

[@adamwasserman4934]

In his commentary on Genesis, St. Augustine wrote that God has given us two "books", the Book of Nature (which is the natural world itself) and the Book of Scripture, the Bible. So perhaps we can say that not all books are written on paper…

[@geofftaylor8913]

One mint julip by Smith is just awesome

[@UniverseofKeys]

That is a classic!!!!
