This kind of breakdown is like soothing balm to adult learners like me whose minds are blown by awesome-sounding kung-fu keys solos at gigs. When you break it down like this to slow tai chi speed, it makes it seem entirely possible that I could learn to do this before I die. So... thank you! xx
This Jack guy used to play at a professional level- and I mean in front of 10s of thousands of ppl- the big leagues. He played for artist who don't have a steady band and just put together a band for each tour- and he played with some really big names. But he didn't like the fact that the music and creativity took a back seat to having the right look, he didn't like the way there were no rehearsals or even sound checks in some places because they had them booked so solid there simply was no time. He didn't like the fact that this produced robotic performances where ppl weren't playing up to their potential- or even trying to. And the atmosphere was such that if you even acted like you might protest- they just replaced you and moved on. So, he basically chose to work for Andertons and do little gigs like this with friends because he loved the music so much he didn't want to be part of some plastic, overly commercialized, version of it. He would rather be home with his family, work for Andertons, and be able to really explore music the way he wants. In other words- he's a feakin' hero to ppl like me- I have massive respect for this man as a person and musician.
I’d just got up and made my morning coffee thinking, well, let me find something interesting to learn from Jack while I wake up. I found you shredding on this video and it was HELL YEAH!! I didn’t need caffeine to get me going. I was shocked awake and charged with adrenaline. Who needs caffeine when you can listen to Jack?
Mr D - outstanding. I was at that gig and you were on fire. Your humility being open for chats & photo’s after was greatly appreciated. But please know, you have a real gift for teaching and whilst I love the review stuff, so many of us get so much from these honest insights and tricks and tips videos. Andertons continue to get my custom over the years… but ever considered starting your own online presence? Tutorials, members content etc. give it serious thought!
I echo your sentiments and would sign up as a paid subscriber in a second. Some people can play, some people can teach, and Jack is the rare soul who does both extremely well.
What makes your lessons so excellent is that you are a player and you give practical , pro tips that I can immediately incorporate into my playing. I wish you would do regular weekly lessons.
Feeling so relieved that you transpose as well 😂 The bit with the diminished scale was so helpful. Always wondered how people integrate that "out sound" into pentatonics. Very helpful lesson. Thanks for sharing 🔥👍
Oh man I felt so relieved when you said, you transpose the key to your liking. I also do this quite often and it always felt like cheating to me but who cares right?
Amazing breakdown of your playing. I could listen to you doing these aggressive organ solos all day. That held note and simple antagonistic chord progression is butter with sea salt.
Long time bass, guitar and drummer here, but a casual keys player. I finally joined a band playing 70% guitar and 30% keys and I’m suddenly finding myself chasing the rabbit hole of gear, sounds and style. I’ve been watching your gear review videos for a few weeks and loving them, but this video is fantastic. I can rip a guitar solo but never quite understood how to translate it to a keyboard - you really helped tie a lot to the guitar and you just took away the intimidation of trying my hand at a keys solo. Time to head to the local blues jam and take a chance on keys…. Thanks!
Great tips and tricks and thoughts. Thank you for sharing. 🙂👍 I'm also curious, and interested in different ways to create good solo Hammond sounds on different synths. For example I have a Yamaha modx. I would love a future episode on setting up your Hammond sounds. 🎹😎
Deadly useful Jack. Many many many thanks. Going out well is really the hardest part, but everything you did will be useful in my next gig (using a Native Kontrol 61 and IK Multimedia Hammond B3X plugin)
Love watching a man Fiddling with his knobs live on stage.🤣 I really enjoyed the Hammond organ tutorial you did using the Nord electro 6d 73 I think it was and of course this video is great as always. Think it would be amazing to see you doing a tutorial on a real Hammond B3 with real Leslie rudely exposing itself to show everyone the actual real beasts that all today's clones are trying to imitate and what a real Leslie actually is. Yeah there's heaps of vids of people doing that but they're not you. Maybe you've already done something like that. I don't know. I'm just putting my 20 aussie cents worth in. Thankyou for you videos. 🎶🎹🎼🎸🎹🎶🙏👋
'Nah-ah-meen, bruv?' Comprendo, ese-vato. I really dig the instructional Jack. (Could that be a band name? "Instructional Jack?) I dig almost all the other stuff on the channel, too, but the instructional stuff kind of stands out to me. Maybe because I know so little of synths and keyboards and all that jazz, being a beady-eyed, beetling-browed guitarist like I am.
While I play keys, guitar and bass are my foremost gigging instruments and every piece of insight is relevant to not just keyboard players, but all musicians. Such solid advice and worth more than many seminars and classes I’ve sat through. This was solid!
As someone who is still learning the basics, your creative thought process is super helpful!! I'll be watching this a few times to absorb all that you shared.
Such a great video Jack, thanks so much for showing us these ideas. I've learnt loads from it - the C# dimished scale idea is very cool and those go-to licks are great because they are short and easy to remember in the moment. The point about using your thumb and first two fingers only when playing fast has suddenly made licks I couldn't get before now make much more sense. Please keep up these fantastic tutorials! It's a cool idea to teach it like this based on a real solo, and gets you thinking about mixing single notes with chords and glisses etc that you wouldn't necessarily think about if it was just teaching a series of licks. Cheers!
Whoa adamwhite! Thumb and first two fingers only for playing fast! By Jove, just try wiggling your third and pink fingers fast. Slow and ever so spastic! Correctness ain’t always best. I see the light. Cheers mates
Wicked!!! I remember that one jam session we played a song Melissa Etheridge, “like the way I do” And just as I was going to start the solo indo a big obnoxious bend and my B string breaks. And I’m nothing without a G and B string. So I went into this funky rhythm following the first of each chord of the progression. Just playing some thirds or sixes in this funny rhythm, and I was hoping the other guitarist would think: “well may I should take a solo” but he just kept playing rhythm. And I am stressing because I couldn’t play what I had in mind. And I noticed that the audience was jumping on the dance floor 🪩 having fun. So I took the broken B string in between my teeth and jumped with them. And like Jack said the beginning was great the middle was in key and nice and rhythmic not flourishy but okay. And I ended with a nice dive bomb on the A5 again and it was fine. And I even got compliments from people saying: “you played with a broken string!!! Wow!” And I smiled and I thought: “If playing a bit of counter rhythmic on the first and third or 5th is playing, then why did I put so much effort in learning complex licks?” 😂 And it did make me realize that the audience are layman’s and not music snobs. They love anything as long as it’s for them in key. And it was sort of liberating - took 7 years or so to realize that 😂
So cool ! Thank you ! Great tricks & licks ! and the ideas behind them ! Best trick : transpose 😂love it ! Would be nice to learn some playing techniques like the guys who are presenting all the new Keyboards! Your show is great
More Jack awesomeness. Great playing and a genuinely modest person. Name checks for the very great SRV and Eric Johnson who were mates and jammed together. In fact he name checks some of the cream of the crop of 'Guitarists Guitarists' Jack knows his stuff.
I love watching your videos. You are great. Full disclosure . . . I hate the key of "B" too! Glad to see I'm not alone. Thank you for sharing your solo tips.
Outstanding Jack! The whole thought process behind it to build the solo. And the very true sentence: you can do almost anything you want in the middle of the solo if you get into it well and get out to it well. 😀
I'm a subscriber and have seen lots of your videos. Love 'em. I am so glad to see this video because I finally noticed not too long ago that you were doing three finger riffs. Thank for the demo in this video.
Awesome video and love how you break down the tips and licks. I get guilty of trying to run the whole board to quickly but the way you stay in one spot and work the lick is extremely helpful and I will be stealing those runs for sure....
Jack, love your videos and your playing. Just a joy to watch. I was actually trying to google you to see if lessons were available and then I found your videos/ just wanted to say thank you. They are so well done and make sense. Even for me and my adult ADHD, I can easily follow along and I’ve learned a lot. Thanks so much and greetings from Vancouver Canada.
Haha, I can't play like this, this also feels like cheating, but I watched the whole 26 minutes in one go as it's really enjoyable. Just show Jack's face next time as he grimaces through his solo 😂
Hello, I would like your opinion, I migrated from stage 3 to stage 4, but I am not able to get the same sound in the organ generator! It seems to me that stage 3 sounded better!
It’s actually a diminished arpeggio, not a diminished scale a half tone out. And notice, all of the notes he plays in it are actually C7 chord tones…. E, G,Bb, and the minor 9 Db.
For those reading this that actually want to improve in your piano skills. Please do not Transpose your music. It’s better to learn and get comfortable in every key than to take the easy way out and play in C major every time.
You Transpose, Nah Lowe it I spent along time transposing and i wasnt the musician i wanted to be, Its better to learn your keys properly and unlock true musicianship. transposing is ok for producing but not for live.
Could not disagree more about transposing. Never do that! You can play majority of licks in any key you want. Of course there are some exceptions, but I'd rather learn more licks than just transpose two or three of them to different keys. That way every other key you play in, can have different style since you combine different licks.
Hehe, shredding in C…..god😂😂😂 stopped watching there…..after seeing the comments below I watched to the end. Actually some really nice advice on pentatonics and how to make sense soloing. The only bad advice was use transpose…just learn the stuff you want in all keys or at least bare minimum the keys common to your musicstyle. One day you find yourself in front of a keyboard where you dont know how to transpose……busted!
Seems unfair to me. This isn’t Rachmaninoff it’s improv and it’s live. He’s being honest. It doesn’t make it a shit solo coz it’s in C. Jon Lord wouldn’t have done this if he could have done? C’Mon the Pink Floyd guitar solo to “money” is in 4/4 coz Gilmour didn’t wanna solo in an irregular time sig! This is what real musicians do in real life gigs.
@@wibblewabblewoo6249 nothing against shredding in one key….still the title of the video is ”how to play a great organ solo!” and then he reaches the transpose button and transpose to c…..had a look to the end. There were actually some really nice advice on soloing, pentatonics so actually a lot better than expected.👍
"Nothing's more jazz than taking the note you're in and then playing the one directly next to it" - Made my day! 😀
This kind of breakdown is like soothing balm to adult learners like me whose minds are blown by awesome-sounding kung-fu keys solos at gigs. When you break it down like this to slow tai chi speed, it makes it seem entirely possible that I could learn to do this before I die. So... thank you! xx

You know, if you're having a dull morning, just flipping to a Jack Duxbury keyboard review will cheer you up. Jack, y'all are much appreciated.
You have a way of explaining that is easy to understand. Would like to see more videos like this.

I would love for you to do a series on piano solos! Also, me and my buds always play If You Ever Wanna Be In Love at our gigs! Love your playing!
James Bay “If You Ever”? I’m guessing so, cracking song right?! Really appreciate the kind words mate ✊
Thank you teacher
This Nord sounds lovely
Feeling so relieved that you transpose as well 😂 The bit with the diminished scale was so helpful. Always wondered how people integrate that "out sound" into pentatonics. Very helpful lesson. Thanks for sharing 🔥👍
My guitar player gave me crap for this once; transposing is a really useful tool, unlike him 😆
People talk a lot of crap about jack for some reason but he’s a great player. Keep it up bro!
That was fun, thanks!
Thanks, fantastic advice, leveled up my improvgame!
Amazing stuff, thanks
Oh man I felt so relieved when you said, you transpose the key to your liking. I also do this quite often and it always felt like cheating to me but who cares right?
Symmetry is the key the diminished scale rules.
Jack once again proves simple with lots of feeling is Great!

I am afraid to transpose because I often forget to set it back! LOL

Great job,thanks for sharing!
Masterclass. Thanks Jack!
Please do something similar with a guitar solo played on a keyboard.

One of these days I would love to trade licks on my Stage 4 and Eltro 5.

How do you know Andy ? We are from the same home town !

Nord stage 4, especially the 88 hammer action keybed, was unnecessary for this.
Hello, I would like your opinion, I migrated from stage 3 to stage 4, but I am not able to get the same sound in the organ generator! It seems to me that stage 3 sounded better!
Slightly disgusting tip for Organ glisses on a hammer action keybed: lick the ball of your hand before. You can get them way smoother and faster.
nice one - will try this. And nevermind "...there is a lot of cleaning products!" 😅
I’ve always done this and wondered if I was the only one with this disgusting habit 😅….you should see the faces of students watching you do this 😅
Thank good I have a Hammond with waterfall keys.
The last thing I want it a saliva waterfall on my keys.
I love how there is not an ounce of gatekeeping in this guy.
It’s actually a diminished arpeggio, not a diminished scale a half tone out. And notice, all of the notes he plays in it are actually C7 chord tones…. E, G,Bb, and the minor 9 Db.
So what I took from this is other people are actually thinking while they're playing solos 🤔
sexiest keyboardist alive !
Great rock but what about wooly bully watch it now
