Movie Reviews of DVD-Blues and Rock Techniques for Hammond Organ
Movie Review: save your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with the reviewers that say this DVD is not that great. Cohen is a very stiff player and the things he shows you would only impress beginners who had no knowledge of chords.
He also assumes you know music theory , which many do not. If you play worst that Cohen, this DVD will not help you. Most players are much better than he is and have more feeling in their playing. Not to mention his predictable solos.
One star because he does explain the drawbars , but he doesn't show how to use them in performance. I've learned more watching real Hammond players, who would probably make a better video. Cohen is probably not a real Hammond player. This video will not make you one either. Save your money.
Summary of DVD-Blues and Rock Techniques for Hammond Organ
The Hammond organ, especially the B-3 combined with the Leslie speaker, has long been an integral part of modern popular music.You can hear the "classic" sound of the Hammond organ in blues, gospel, jazz, rock, and even on some contemporary singer/songwriter songs (try to picture Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" or Procol Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale" without that distinctive sound). Sometimes the organ is used as "padding," providing background textures using only its sustain capabilities, and at other times it takes a more prominent role as a lead instrument. We're proud to present the first lesson to teach the organ as a blues and rock instrument for learning players. David Cohen starts with the basics, detailing all the parts of the Hammond B-3 and showing how to get the unique sounds associated with this instrument using presets, drawbars, percussion tablets, vibrato switch, volume pedal and other devices. Then it's into the playing! David covers some of the! most important licks and grooves you'll need to get out and play in a band. His love of the instrument comes across as he teaches riffs, blues scales, chord changes, and many of the specific musical tricks that work only on organ. Each tune is illustrated by a top New York rock band to give you a feeling for how it should be performed. You'll learn to play a fast shuffle in C; a funk tune in E; a medium-tempo shuffle in A (with a Jimmy Smith riff); the all-important slow blues in G; and a funk rhythm with a G minor to C (I - IV) groove. In each of these pieces, you'll learn how to improvise solos, use licks and fills, play a variety of bass lines, and become an integral part of a rockin' blues band.Educational DVD Video
