    Umphrey's McGee straddles a lot of genres but often describes itself as a prog rock band. They're still doing their thing, although not as commercially successful as predecessors.

    I like this Rhodes tone. I've been critical earlier in this thread about the tone of the Mark 8 in various promotional videos... but I'm digging it here. Curious about amplification and effects. Sounds like a delay is added midway through the solo. Oh, and of course Cory Henry's playing is fantastic.

    To be clear: I like everything about your rig... but for some reason I'm most fixated on your rolling stool. Looks comfy and functional!

    I respect this opinion but for @Neek's sake will note this a topic of debate in the keyboard community. I'm still firmly in the hardware camp for live gigs.

    Thanks for checking in. We all wax and wane in our engagement in online communities.

    That video was great... lots of wisdom... but things got weird at the end when he started talking about jazz. I consider his style "jazz adjacent"... lots of neo soul, chords with upper extensions, etc. So was surprised to hear him compartmentalize jazz and joke about the poor prospects of making a living at it.

    I still occasionally use an SK2 into a SSv3. I'm perfectly happy using the SK leslie sim but I'm pretty laid back (too laid back?) about my leslie sims.

    Welcome back! I know we don't know each other well but I've noticed your absence and am glad to see you back.

    @EB5AGV Is something like this helpful?
  10. Morrissey
    Yes, several forum threads on this topic. The Alesis, Alto, and also the Headrush are basically the same. See, e.g.,

    Coincidentally, related conversation this week by @AnotherScott @Jim Alfredson and others in this thread:

    Impressed you took the plunge. Should add a lot to stage presence!

    This reminds me of the thread about the sale of Piano World. Do we want to encourage folks from over there to spend more time here? I don't spend time there so have no opinion. But, if so, should we have a sticky thread to explicitly welcome folks like that?

    I'd be a prospect for a product like this. They are emphasizing their accomplishments of having set a new gold standard for Rhodes, and accordingly set premium pricing. But guys like me don't necessarily expect a better Rhodes. We'd just like a modern reliable (gigable?) electromechanical piano in light of the existing stock of Rhodes being 40-60 years old, so most of the surviving pianos are either museum/studio pieces or beat up road warriors.

    I happen to agree on the specific issue at hand -- i.e., that we shouldn't have a beginner sub-forum -- but will add my testimony that, despite the many virtues of this community, it can be intimidating to join the discussion. I lurked for many years before finding the courage to post. And I don't consider myself a shy person.

    @jamesgordon: check out this thread and the links to other threads in this thread:

    Yes, jazzers certainly preach this... learn tunes in all 12 keys. It is a lot of extra effort but really drills the melody and harmony into you.

    Wait this one is better: Nat backed by Oscar Peterson trio feat. Coleman Hawkins!

    Great post, @Noah DC. Lots of specific, useful info. Thanks.

    FYI - Guitar Center has the FP30x on sale right now, including a pretty good one-day discount today on a FP30x package with stand and bench

    Another vote for "you got the wrong bag" I have an SK2 and a Hammond-branded SK2 gig bag... I believe it is a previous version of the Hammond SK2 bag. Mine does not have straps inside the bag to secure the board but it does have backpack straps on the exterior of the bag which I believe the newer version does not. My bag has an extra few inches of width beyond dimensions of the SK2. Perfect size for an expression pedal and power supply. Otherwise, the bag provides an appropriately snug fit for the board. Your SK2 appears to be swimming in that case!

    Reminds me of my confusion when I first heard John Scofield's version of Cissy Strut modulate down temporarily to Ab

    So far, my prediction last month hasn't aged well:

    Any info as to the purpose of the expression pedal? I'd guess it is volume/expression pedal for the Hammond, but don't most players use their right foot for that?
