16251 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I was playing one of my Cannonball albums and I realized that this song has one of the great Clavinet solos by George Duke himself. I'm hoping y'all can add more clav solos/any style. I'm not sure I could think of any others. George made the most of different sounds on one solo - pretty cool. George's solo starts at 3 minutes in.

Sven Golly Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Some good Clav references (not necessarily "solos" but worth the read) in an earlier thread on Clavs here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Golly Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 ^^^ LOL... highlights are the pulling up of the pants at 5:27, and the 'hit it to unstick the key' move at 5:50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMcM Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Yeah, I was going to mention the stuck key, but I liked how he didn't let it get the best of him. He gave it a whack and kept on playing. The pants thing, well given that I've had to do the same thing from time to time, I felt it best to not point that out. Wm.

arX Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Incognito's Matt Cooper going crazy opening the great tune Colibri (@1:15). Far from the best but it was the first time I came across someone doing that with the clav.

marczellm Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 [George Duke video] Clav starts at 4:15 but why miss the beginning? LOVE the 80s! Love how the synths, the bass, the drums, the vocals, the mixing sound. The showmanship too. Also my urge to use pitch bend on clav patches is finally justified.

The_Star_Guy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 This one always stuck in my head w/ Max Middleton's clav opening. Oh, and some other guy's playing synth later on too... This is really a good choice, as I often use this very phrase when I am testing clav patches on prospective new keyboards. Max Middleton was a very underrated keyboard player, and really had some decent clav funk chops on his Jeff Beck album appearences . ---------------------------------------------------------- Gig: Yamaha MODX7, NumaX 73 Piano Studio: Kawai ES-920; Hammond SK Pro 73; Yamaha Motif ES7 w/DX,VL,VH; Yamaha YC 73; Kawai MP-6; Numa Compact 2x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 In Apple parlance, you're playing it wrong. [video:youtube] Busch.

Dglavko Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Timely post - just got me a pigtronix echo plex delay for my claivinet and I am seriously stoked! Clavinets (real ones) are seriously underrated IMO - might leave my Nord at home next show - just the Clav, pig delay and a numa organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Williams Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'd nominate this for the best clavinet intro of all time, if not necessarily the best solo.
