    Bruh I thought I was killing the organ until I started studying your tutorial I realized my chords didn’t sound like yours and I wondered what I was missing but thanks to your videos you’ve opened me up to different voicing techniques and it’s has totally changed my entire sound. God bless you Van man you’ve got the biggest heart. Thank you so much!

    I have watched tons and tons of videos on TH-cam and I just keep wondering how people can play with good and best techniques, but after watching this cool video i realised that this guy is a good person for having taught a best lesson like this and that also for free. Hardly seen a good person like you these days. May God be with you always and bless you abundantly. Thank alots 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

    Thanks V Keys,
    Excellent Illustration of how to improve one voicings without clashing with the Bass player and lead soloists etc. A keys player can hold the middle ground providing great orchestration. Thanks again.

    This is good stuff right here. Rootless voicings are rarely taught or talked about in depth. Takes practice, but it sounds much better in a full band setting with a bass player. Drop 2 voicings are also great to use as well.

    Nice. Removing the additional bass notes creates some more ambiguity which can sound enticing and mysterious when used on multiple chord changes.

    Some great advice there. Glad you mentioned just getting rid of the extra fifth (and doubled root) later; it's so easy to swap it for a 7, 9 or 10 (or even nothing).

    See, call me weird but i don’t care to play songs I like playing sounds (vibes) so this was perfect for me.
    The further you get away from the theory boxes the more beautiful music sounds.
    music theory: learn it all [for the tools] and then forget it all. And just play the sounds that fit in the now.

    Mate, I'm a white bloke from Australia. I'm really glad and happy that you've posted this video. African Americans have produced so many of the beautiful songs over the years. But sadly I just don't see this happening anymore. It saddens and angers me that people with your talent and skills get put on the backburner because someone else has created a tune on a computer. Please, please, please tell all the other African American musicians that you know to help bring back the music that the world loves to hear. The real music, made by real musicians with real music skills. And not this no talent rubbish music. And thanks again for posting this video. Cheers mate..
