    I'm happy with my S3. Solid option for 73 weighted keys, and used ones tend to be good value relative to Yamaha, Korg, etc competitors

    This matches my experience and most user reviews I've heard/read -- 3300 is plenty loud and spins the organ around the room just fine... but lacks the familiar tube warmth of favorite vintage Leslie models (122, 147).

    THIS is the hack I sought!

    when you're Herbie playing Rhodes on the beach, only an 88 key will do.
  7. Morrissey
    Good point. I'm comfortable calling a Dom 7 a 1 chord (Mustang Sally is first song that comes to mind). In this case, I'm seduced by convenience of thinking about A section and B section as relative major/minor of each other.
  8. Morrissey
    Ha! For my purposes -- i.e., quickly learning the tune for a one-off gig -- I've decided to stick with my first instinct and think about it as below. Not suggesting it is a satisfying theoretical explanation but I do like its relative simplicity A section: Key of Em (i - IV) B section: (Relative Major) Key of G (IV - iii - bVII - I - V#9 - bVIdim)
  9. Morrissey
    I was searching for a memorization hack for the B section. I did enough web research before posting this thread to realize smart musicians reasonably disagree on the theoretical explanations underpinning what's going on in that part of the tune.
  10. Morrissey
    I appreciate this analysis. I tried my hand at it too (see second post, above). However, my original post is proving to be wishful thinking. The B section of this song is creatively unusual -- not conducive for my brain to "chunk" into popular music conventions. Just gonna have to use my brainpower to memorize the entire sequence. No big deal. Great tune. Worth the effort.
  11. Morrissey
    This goes against all my musical instincts but I'm going to take this as a growth opportunity and lean into this advice.
  12. Morrissey
    My best shot thus far is thinking in G major: IV - iii - weird bVII - I - V (resolving to relative minor E chord)
  13. Morrissey
    I'm learning Breathe for an upcoming gig. The internet has lots of opinions as to what key(s) it's in. I welcome opinions on that but am primarily interested in advice/tricks to make sense of the chords in the chorus(?) section so I'm not just memorizing a series of unrelated chords. Basically, verse is ||: Em9 - A7 :|| and chorus is CM7 Bm7 FM7 G D7#9 D7b9 (or last chord maybe D#dim) I know we have several fine Pink Floyd players on the forum. How do you guys think about/remember this progression?

    Clever

    "Stereo Link" mode + Line Out to mixing desk
  16. Morrissey
    Not immediately thinking of a board that small with that set of outputs. Have you considered running your KC300's in master/slave mode? Then you could feed the stereo inputs from your keyboard into just one of those amps, and send a stereo feed out from that amp to FOH.
  17. Morrissey
    I read most of it right away. Awesome resource! You are an excellent band leader. My impression from the Guide (and from your KC posts) is that you have more time and resources to devote to your band than many of your prospective readers. For that reason, one suggestion is to help readers prioritize how to implement the many best practices you describe. IEM or lights first? Website or FB ads? Etc. You do a good job explaining priorities within each subtopic but it is tougher to discern your advice about prioritization across the subtopics.

    I respect the modest real estate of those two wheels. Plenty of other boards add 9+ inches to the length of the board with the wheels. Hammond squeezed them.
  19. Morrissey
    This is important. What was TDN's biggest hit they wrote themselves?
  20. Morrissey
    One time I bought a keyboard and the seller met me at the venue as I was setting up before a gig
  21. Morrissey
    There was this... but not known for its acoustic pianos

    Sold my Nord Electro this same way

    The only time I play a real Leslie anymore is when I'm in a room so small it doesn't need to be mic'ed. If the audience is going to hear it through the PA, the sims do the job just fine... as these highest tier acts have proven.
  24. Morrissey
    A good read on this is Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz. About 20 years old so the anecdotes may be a bit dated but the concepts still apply... about purposefully limiting choices to increase happiness in an overabundant setting.
  25. Morrissey
    Awesome, @Doug Robinson! Enjoy! I'm glad you've played and enjoyed a Bosendorfer before. Just this week I listened to Adam Maness at Open Studio discuss some difficulties getting comfortable playing one (14 minute mark):
