Jon was a master of the legato technique when playing the Hammond. I remember reading an interview where he discussed this. He said that many players play the Hammond as if they were playing the piano. You can do that, but it will sound just like that. He went on to stress the importance of the legato technique which he worked damn hard at to become a master of it. Jon (and Keith) are my heroes. I grew up playing classical piano. Jon taught me that one need not choose either rock or classical, but can do both. I am still not over his passing. Thankfully, he left us a lot of great music.

I agree, there is no sustain pedal on a organ, so legato is important. On my DX7 synthesizer, it can use the sustain pedal for all voices... so it could be used on and organ voice but it is not normally needed. Pipes (actual or synthesized) have slow attacks and releases (especially in the bass), so you get some ligato automatically when plaing presto or faster on organs.

I was smiling throughout your tutorial...this is such a treat! Thank you so much...such a lovely tribute to one of the greatest keys player and a symbol for all us musicians (especially keys player)

Marshall tube amps have superior compressive distortion which is warmer and less harsh clipping distortion than from transitor amps. I think he also used just a subtle amount of spring reverb somewhere.

Awesome explanation. So there’s a Deep Purple song “Gypsy’s Kiss” that I always thought had this brilliant Blackmore section in it, and now I realize it was Jon Lord mimicking the guitar licks in time with Blackmore. Simply brilliant.

Great video - back in the 70s a school friend of mine - who was a big Bowie fan -grudgingly remarked that the last few mins of the live version of Smoke on the Water ( on the Made in Japan album) - Jon Lord playing a melody derived from some basic notes of the song against Ritchie Blackmore’s continued belting out of the famous riff - was musically very inventive - that ending (culminating in each of them answering each other’s instrument before Gillan concludes with “Burn It !”) still gives me goosebumps to this day !

I was in bands that did Lazy, Highway Star, Never Before, so many great tunes. Playing DP in a great cover band with an audience that's into you is one of the best experiences on the planet. We figured out pretty much everything you mentioned - removing the third, getting the fifth on the bottom, and that all-important timing. Jon & Richie knew exactly how to give and take, compliment and lead, and Ian & Rodger knew exactly how to lay the groundwork. Thanks for a great tutorial.

Great video. I recall going to music classes as a kid in Aberdeen and we were taught not to use consecutive fifths. Thank the LORD for JON. As a Hammond organ player in the 60s and the 70s. I was once scolded by my classical piano teacher for committing a major crime. Actually I pointed out that Bach would use consecutive fifths in so much of his music but the teacher held her ground and said I am not Bach. Great days. Still playing today in London pubs but on guitar. The B3 was a beast to hump around until the 80s came along with the advance of technology. Thanks for the video. Get exactly where you are coming from. Jon Lord was my hero and God Rest His Soul. Correct me if I am wrong. I think he played through a Selmer Leslie at one time not just the 145 and other similar models. Iused a Selmer Leslie and it produced a rasping raging rotating whirlwind of sound.

I’m in an all original band and they’ve never played with a keyboardist… ever. Therefore all their already existing songs didn’t have the space in them that we need to be able to insert cool runs…. So inverted fifths was the way I went in so many songs….. also double octaves with a fifth in the middle. Being I’m now involved in the writing process…… the small spaces we need to do stuff in now exists…. Love your videos man, great insight and very informative

I've been playing the organ since I was 12. I am now 52. I have always had a passion for hammond organs since childhood. It is only a pity that the teaching methods of my youth have never appealed to me. Admittedly, learning chords and musical notes has been helpful. But I've always "had to" play music that didn't really appeal to me. Especially the theoretical part is difficult for me. What strikes me about your teaching method is that you can, so to speak, play music within half an hour and also understand what you are doing. I can honestly say that I have never had so much fun playing the organ before. I am sure that if I had had organ lessons like this in my childhood, I would have been a better organist now. Thanks for the helpful lessons that make me feel like I'm finally really playing Hammond organ.
