Gospel Organ Lessons

 

 

 

Dear Gospel Lover,
Are you someone trying to learn to play those toe-tapping,
foot-stomping, hand-clapping, finger-snapping praise songs
on the organ? If so, keep reading this post because I’ve
found something that will definitely help you!

The folks over at HearandPlay just sent me an e-mail a
couple days ago telling me about their brand new organ
DVD course.

It takes you step-by-step and over the shoulder through tons
of techniques. I mean, it’s filled with loads of information
and professional techniques that any serious musician learning
to play up-tempo praise songs would want to have.

In this new organ DVD course, you’ll…

- Discover the simple secrets to effectively using the drawbars,
percussions, and settings to obtain the contemporary sound that
you desire.

Click her for more details:

- Learn the way of the west coast and how to contemporize your
praise & devotional songs using “west coast” chords, movements,
and runs!

- Learn how to power up your left hand by forming a variation of
the chord you’re right hand is playing. This strategy alone will
make your praise songs differ from the next musician tremendously.

- Slow motion break-downs of advanced fill-ins and right-hand
chordal movements so that you never miss a single beat!

When I first saw this course, I mean all I could saw was wow!
You don’t have to take my word for it though. Just listen to
what this new Gospel Keys 350 has done for my friend Austin
already!

(…and if you’re also serious about taking your piano
playing to the next level and avoiding the pitfalls that many
musicians fall into, you might want to consider taking them up
on their other “Gospel Keys” courses”).

All the best,

The arrangements while original have unique intros Eleanor Rigby, I believe To My Soul, The Thrill Is Gone written specifically for each tune.

About Me

Our Beloved Hammond Nearing Extinction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hammond b3 tone wheel organs, (especially A/B/C series) are
getting more scarce. Many have already been taken to other countries,or chopped. Others have simply been destroyed from abuse, reducingthe number of original condition Hammonds available. Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before there are no more to be found in salvageable condition. The ebb and flow of my website is indicating that possibly this time has arrived. I’m not trying to be an alarmist but one thing is for sure, there won’t be more in time, only less because the vintage "tone wheel" Hammonds will never be made again. No one, not even Hammond, has come up with an organ equal to the original tone wheel masterpiece.

The B3 Manual:

"Keeping the flame alive"

The manual is 8 1/2″ X 11″ and has laminated covers, 164 pages with over 400 highest quality, full color pictures printed on “70lb text” pure white paper and has a metal coil binding. The reason for such high quality color pictures is due to the use of colored indicating arrows for identification of parts and Hammond’s color coded wires. This is a very simple and comprehensive manual and takes you through every step with text and pictures. You don’t have to be a technician or have had any previous experience working with Hammond organs to follow this manual. You may need to contact a technician at some point, depending on the condition of your organ but you will literally save thousands of dollars by doing this yourself. If you do need a technician to work on certain aspects that you cannot handle, at least the organ will be in an open state and there will be less time involved for the tech. Most musicians cannot afford to pay someone to completely overhaul their organ. The largest percentage of our customers have reached a level of success and can now fulfill there life long dream of owning a B3 in top condition. They don’t buy them to take on the road. Working musicians, on the other hand, should know something about maintaining their own instrument even if they don’t intend on doing a total re-build. Writing this manual was a labor of love and was a sincere effort to share the knowledge.
I hope it serves you well

About The Hammond B3 Manual

While restoring this organ, I decided to document each step and write a how to manual. To date, no one has written a manual like this. If you wish to see and read more about the manual, the link that follows will take you to: “The Hammond B3 Disassembly & Restoration Manual for Non-technicians.

The Hammond B3 Manual For Non Technicians

I’ve received so many requests for information on how to do certain jobs, that I decided to write a step by step, how to manual, for the Hammond B3. The index (shown on the page) covers the general topics with many sub-topics not listed. Click on any of the pictures to go to my site and have a look.
