New to here, absolutely brilliant! I've only reasonable facsimiles of Hammond sounds in my arsenal; not bad, but not the real deal (E-Mu B3; Yamaha S-90; Nord Compact 73; Akai MPC 61-Key). Trying to describe the Hammond sound to bandmates, i can only elucidate that the thing sounds like it's 'breathing'! Looking forward to more of your material!

Thank you so much for this video. From your Kula Shaker link I eventually found the video of them doing Hush on the Chris Evans breakfast show. It absolutely flies.

Hello Nick! I haven't heard your channel in years, so it was good to see you pop up on my screen yesterday. To hold the high C down, I used a piano mute which is a wedge shaped piece of black rubber that a piano tuner inserts between two of the three strings, to play only one string at a time. He does this to set the temperment of the middle octave, usually C4 to C5, on which he bases a tuning for the entire keyboard. Enough about piano tuning... to hold the high C down, I'd wedge a mute between the wood and key. It takes a little practice to get it right, but simple enough to master -- easier than mastering a squabble. Take care not to jam it in there too quickly, or you can break a key. When I was finished playing the organ like a drum, it was easy enough to pull the mute out, in time with the beat of course, or using it to start a slide downward. You can learn to sustain any of the white keys this way, but you need time to use both hands on a waterfall keyboard -- to play high F, I'd hold up the adjacent E key with my left thumb, but you don't have as much space between the white keys as you do at the top end, so be gentle. Waterfall keys can be expensive to repair. I imagine anything on a 65 year-old Hammond is expensive to repair these days. Thanks for the channel, and my best regards.

Another great tutorial, thanks, Nick!

FANTASTIC! Your videos are so helpful, I’m a new Hammond player and I’m learning so much from you. Thank you.

ONE of my favorites-Joe South wrote it-song was covered by a lot of bands in the 60's

the kula shaker version of 'Hush' is, as great as it is, a direct lift of the prisoners version..... James Taylor (of the James Taylor quartet) doesn't get enough love for his Hammond organ playing

Nick´s the man!

I think Joe South wrote HUSH... Yes, after checking the credits on the Deep Purple LP record Shades of Deep Purple on Tetragrammaton Records released in 1968.

muito bom o tutorial! ótimo trabalho x)

Thanks Nick for this great tutorial ! Love it ! 🤘🏼😎

Jay Darlington is the original and best Kula Shaker organist, he's back with them for studio work i think. Any chance of a howto for playing Weirdo by The Charlatans? Anyway this was great!

How about the deep purple Kentucky woman solo?

I think the left hand here sounds clumsy. Far too right hand scalar dominant for the riffs for my taste.

Well at the start of the video he says it’s a “how he plays the song video. “ Also John lord changed it over the years. And yes, show us how it’s done.

sorry mate none of this is correct. you have taken the easy way out again…..the big chord played under early in the morning late in the evening is c7sharp9 without the g not what your playing notes are c e b flat e flat. in the verse (i got a girl thats on a my mind etc its c then g minor 2nd inversion f 2nd inversion at the end of each line.. then hush hush i though i heard her calling my name etc is a simple c to f7 this video should be retitled from how to play to how i play as this is not a tutorial video on how jon played it

You didn't read Nick's description then about the difficulty of the piece ... slapping him about, he said it as such and hoped he did it justice ... anyway cheers ... IMO you understand

For 99% of us it’s fine and a start. Calm down or post your own video.

Come on.......too much blablabla for an average performance 🤔

Not even close to what is played on the record.

This is lame Nick. Seriously, do better.
