mcgoo Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Wakeman's organ solo on Roundabout not only got me to want to play Hammond- it got me to want to make the transition from piano student to keyboardist.

Theo Verelst Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It is rather a contrast from trying (and to a fair extend succeeding) to remaster the latest Megadeth album (for personal use of burning it on CD, coming from HDtracks), but these are examples of actual main influences of mine for playing organ, even though I never had a cool, warm and broad sounding Hammond, except maybe for my progress (today again) with the complicated Kurzweil signal paths: [video:youtube] [video:youtube] [video:youtube] The last example isn't really what I set out to search, which was "classical hammond hits" or something from one of those great sounding 60s or 70s LPs, but it gets the point across very well: post a demo of ANY plugin/virtual instrument/5 keyboard multi-layer, with 2 vents and 3 production effects and GET THAT SOUND. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningbusch Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I suppose the first Hammond in a rock/R&B setting I heard was Booker T and Green Onions, but Felix Cavaliere and the Young Rascals were also very early (1966). Here's a cool live version of Since I Fell For You. Notice no bass player. Don't know if Felix was supposedly covering bass but it sounds pretty light. [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw5WG2xyUBQ Other major early influences included Bloomfield Kooper (learned all my greasy blues licks from Al), America (The Nice) and of course Hush.

Paul Harrison Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 For me, Keith Emerson was a bigger influence than Rick Wakeman, but Roundabout (1971) made a big impression, as did the Six Wives of Henry the Eighth album (1973).

davyyd Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 [video:youtube] In elementary school, when this came out, I identified the organ only as "keyboards", but loved the sound, and still do. Oh, and I think this might be my 100th post. It has only taken me five years to get here, even though I read posts almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcazzy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Oddly enough and before I started listening to Yes, ELP and others, Jimmy Greenspoon of Three Dog Night was the guy that inspired my interest in the Hammond organ and Leslie. IMO, a very underrated player. John Cassetty "there is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact it's all dark" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawai James Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I was a child of the 80s, but spent my high school years listening to late 60's rock. One of my favourite bands from that period was Humble Pie - I fell in love with the thick, greasy sound of the Hammond on tracks such as: Desperation: [video:youtube] Wrist Job: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbYaYIukLp8 Unfortunately, the recording/encoding quality of those clips are pretty terrible - I'll have to listen to the proper stereo versions on my CD remasters over the weekend.

jcazzy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Oh my, almost forgot that Ken Hensley of Uriah Heep really rocked me in the early '70s.

raffkey Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi all-newbie here.. I was fortunate enough to begin playing keyboard in the early seventies (wow, I should be so much better than I am, for playing so long), anyway, and idolized Greg Rollie of Santana, Jimmy Greenspoon of Three Dog Night, Ken Hensley of Uriah Heep, learning all their solos, and of course when Deep Purple came about, I was so happy to be able to play the instrument that made THAT sound!! RIP Jon Lord... I remember lugging around (or rather having our parents do the luggin')an M2 with added percussion by Trek products, and a REAL Leslie 147 to every gig just to have that sound! Can't really pick a song that sold me on the Hammond sound, but I knew I preferred the Hammond over the likes of the Vox, Farfisa and the rest (even though I started off with a Whitehall Combo organ-yikes!) I think it was simliar to my preference for the Wurly over the Rhodes, and later the Roland stuff over that DX thing, etc., etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanker. Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Ray, Ray and more Ray I absolutely love Ray Charles' organ playing. Ignorant and genius all at the same time. I grew up on classic rock, so I always dug the sound of the organ, but coming of age in the 80's, I didn't necessarily know what that organ was. I remember seeing a Beatles book cover, one pic of each Beatle, and Paul was sitting behind this thing that just looked so freaking cool, I had to have one. Found out it was a Hammond, started saving every penny of my lawn mowing money. $1600 (and a year and a half) later, I had an M-3 and 122a. That was around '86-87. Winwood and Finnegan's playing on Electric Ladyland was a HUGE influence on how I heard things back then, even to this day. I learned about all the Jimmy McSmiths a few years later. Nowadays, I mainly wanna sound like either Charles Hodges, Ray Charles, or Larry Young.... A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
