Analogaddict Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 That really pissed men off! ...DAMN he was grooving! Not just chops, but feeling, too! /J nas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andym0908 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Oh yeh right - the things they can do with special effects these days... eh? What..? You mean, it was... what? real? real playing?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmieWannaB Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 That does it. The B3 is going into storage. I don't care how many hours a day I practice - I'll never be that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave The Rave Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I too am not worthy....but I'll keep practicing regardless Wish the sound quality was better - it sounds very compressed (algorithm-wise, not amplitude) and has lots of crowd noise artifacts. I wonder if there's a full hi-fi version anywhere? :DTR Cambrian Guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasher Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Well, the organ did't impress me in the least (lacks crispness, balls, presence)- but Eddie Howard is definitely a hook monster. All the jazz/funk organ cliches, and good chops as well. Don't give up,guys - all it takes is a few years of practice to get that level of chop, and you now have the video lesson on how to play that cross-manual stuff audiences so dearly love - and what are you doing the rest of your life anyway? Back to the woodshed... Thirty years ago, I heard the Jimmys and Bro. Jack and Groove, and said to myself, "If I practice REALLY hard and long, in twenty years I can be that good!" Thirty years later, I most definitely am NOT that good. But I love playing anyway! Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck! Dasher It's all about the music. Really. I just keep telling myself that...

Analogaddict Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Yeah, and what are chops without a context? Maybe that guy plays that way regardless of the context, I´ve heard it happen before with demoing musicians... For me, it´s all about the interplay... at least until I reach that higher level of chops! /J nas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TkWall Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Actually Eddie Howard Jr. is a diverse musician who's roots are gospel but has done backup on jazz and latin, as well as gospel CDs. He is a piano master and can do some strings as well. His latest CD, a gospel collection, all of which he wrote, shows off his vocals as well. Previews of each number are here.... http://www.artistdirect.com/store/artist/album/0,,1674347,00.html Don't know him...just did a little research!

Dave Horne Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Amazing! No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I don't want to push anyone over the edge, here, but please note that Eddie is ALSO playing pedals throughout most of the performance. So not only is he a monster with both hands, he probably outplays the vast majority of keyboardists around with his left FOOT. Ouch. I'll be at home, in bed, tucked under my blankets if anyone needs me. SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mildbill Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 no need to comment on his performance, but i'm wondering about the sound.i'm listening on a crappy laptop speaker, but did the organ sound super 'clicky' to anyone else? - it almost sounded like someone was tap dancing along with every key he played.also, at 1:50 and 4:20 or so, it looked like a definite camera speed up - either that or it was a 'flashback'.

Erlic Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Damn, the man CAN play, and he makes it look so effortless as if he simply puts his hands on the keys, and everything else comes automatically. Damn and double damn. _____________ Erlic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, while we're sharing video of talented organists, here's a link to a promo video for the new Hammond B3. The second-largest file is a whopping 63MB large, but there's some amazing playing to be seen. Hammond "Concert" Demo Enjoy, SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammondfan Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Absolutely Amazing! Thank you Thank you. Regarding the click, does he not quit playing for a minute with some click track or something going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see that he's got the pedal drawbars set to 80... Regards, SG (just can't stop watching this video! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammond "Concert" Demo If you can wait for him to go over to the B3 about 17 minutes in, it's a great demo. Before that, I felt like I was watching a shopping mall Lowry organ demo from the 70s. BTW - The full BW version is a 235 Mb file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
