Winwood's organ sound for Gimmie Some Lovin was created with the combination of a Leslie and a Marshall amp at the same time. Leslie West, guitarist for Mountain and famous for Mississippi Queen and playing Woodstock knew the formula and discusses it on RUclips in his classic interview series. Well worth watching. I heard Leslie's previous band "The Vagrants" recreate this sound on stage so perfectly using the Marshall/Leslie combo in 1967. It was a line-out to the Marshall that made it roar like no other.
@@andriealinsangao613 The main I HATE THIS DAMN INSTRUMENT!!! It's not a Mighty WurliTzer! No wonder Mr. Hammond was pissed with Donald Leslie, a theater organ nut. Screaming and other retarded bullshit (effects) do not constitute music. Everything this combination touches turns to operatic shit. Horrible combination.
@@andriealinsangao613 You, bitter much. I know what music actually is. Screaming, growling, shouting, etc. do not constitute music. Donald Leslie should have left his nasty sounding speaker in the 1930s. I hate opera and anything super-serious too. Everything I hear one of these bitter things, that's all I can think of. Thank God I do not know how to play. You couldn't make me get anywhere that ugly thing. Again, thank God for synths (they can do more than turn a song into an embarasment).
To me, Hammond organs sound every bit as cool as any electric guitar, and I’m a guitarist lol. I just cannot get enough of the sound, man. I’ve only ever heard a B3 live once or twice (besides some big name rock groups that I’ve seen from hundreds of feet away in the lawn of a big music venue, which I don’t count since I was just hearing the PA from that distance lol) and man, it absolutely MAKES so many songs, just like this one. I’ve been lucky enough to mess around with a Leslie guitar cab before, and the power you feel controlling the Leslie speed is immense! I really wish someone made some sort of smaller rotating cabs for guitar that don’t cost an arm and a leg, but I’ve had little luck finding one. You just can’t even come close to that 3D sound of a real Leslie if you’re using an emulator. One of these days I’ll get my hands on a Hammond and Leslie and learn how to play, but for now I’ll just chill and learn more about the huge undertaking of controlling all of those drawbars and stuff while you’re playing. Watching vids like this always make me want to get one. Good stuff!
You also want to approximate bending some notes. The inner voice of the chord uses some sliding off one note onto another: first chord (G7) step-off C to D; resolving to G chord, slip off B flat to B natural. Additionally, try using left hand on the sub V instead of VII, so you just walk down D C B.
@@JumpingRobot I was referring to vamp on intro and leading into the verses. What is interesting on original version: the vamp shortens each time leading into the organ lines: 8 bars of four from the intro, after 1st verse - 3 bars, after 2nd verse - 2 bars assuming is in key of G major chords G chord (root triad G E B), C (second inversion triad G C E), G (root triad) , C (first inversion triad E G C)
Lovely Sound.. loved the voicings used. I noticed you slip the right hand onto the fifth dropping the left hand altogether. Had to laugh in the opening when you said... turn it up!.. it's the trick. :) If you have a pre-amp for your Leslie as in 145/7 you can crank the volume there . This will overdrive the signal and can make it very dirty as you play louder. I see you are playing a C3? Mine is chopped and is in poor original condition! Yours sounds great!!
I just randomly stumbled across this vid & thought I recognised the organ from the handles/split line, sure enough when the camera goes overhead I see the plywood half moon switch protector I made! Glad to see it's still out there working & being played by a very decent player! Sounds better here than when I had it too!!!
Looking closely at a video Steve played live in 2020, I was surprised to see him use 008888000, Leslie stopped or slow, and not the usual 888800000. He plays this down an octave from the latter, and while the sounds are similar, there is a slight difference. For the chorus he's at 888888888 Leslie fast.
yes i have also been surprised that Steve prefers one-speed Leslies these days.....at first i thought it might have been because he is playing the bass parts as well but then i learned he has modded his hammond to run the bass into seperate outs through a different amp. Even more curious is that he has been recently using a Viscount B3 clone rather than the real thing - through a Leslie I assume.
Silly me. I always thought he was using some kind of an overdrive pedal to get the full distortion, but of course - it's just cooking the valves. Great! The only thing left or me to do is learn the piano and get a Hammond B3. Easy. ;-)
sweet! If I don't have a Hammond, can I synthesize this on a Kurzweil? Love to have seen him play it one time through using what he just explained. This level is good if you have a basic idea of what the band is playing while you're doing this and where the most important organ riffs are.
There's a section of Joe's course where he looks at keyboard alternatives to the Hammond including Nord and KeyB. Doesn't look specifically at a Kurzweil but a lot of what he says about adjusting your playing will be relevant. Check out the full course - there's three hours of stuff like this! www.musicgurus.com/course/how-to-play-hammond-organ-authentically-joe-glossop-learn-tunes-techniques
Might want to turn off the Chorus/Vibrato! Ruins it.. IMO.. Just add it on the chorus. I doubt this was recorded on a Lowery organ. I believe it was a Hammond spinet like an L100.. But I wasnt there so who knows! Pretty sure bottom drawbar was not pulled out all the way, But who knows but Mr. Winwood.. Who would have thought that Baba O' Riley was played o a Lowey!!
@@sticktothefacts8905 you can sort of see the grateful dead influence. If I had to put Lachy on a scale though it would fall somewhere between fair to Mydland. (~);}
If I ever seen anything like this...I will tell smashthings1 and all of his friends. This is nightmare fuel at its worst. The most garbled, unintelligible sounds. Ever. Great way to ruin any song with this kind of gibberish. Take your pic- "Barber Of Seville," The Magic Flute," "Hallelujah," "O Sole Mio," this turns any song of any genre into a melancholy, classical work. Classical is not the mother of all music either. It'll be a pile of rubble, if I ever see anything like this. I bet you're classically-trained, right? Everything has to involve extreme devotion, marriage, and emotion. History sucks and thank God synths were developed (and were more versatile).

A Leslie AND a Marshall?! Damn, that's something!
Yep there's loads of 60s photos of him with a Marshall head on the top of his B3

Is this the chorus bridge or verse?

Well done lad ,,,been waiting for this thing for a lifetime,,,bought the 45 record.,,,,
at around 3:10, the vibrato kicks in, but I dont see you hit any sort of button or knob, did you do this with your feet?
Thanks, very helpful
Talking of this distortion. Listen to the other side of that single - Blues in F, an instrumental. Fantastic organ sound and bass line.

I love your Leslie speaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
excellent

Want some further inspiration on Hammond organs, go watch Lachy Doley

I think it's even louder and more distorted on the record
Rotation has to be off/there's no vibrato/the db-settings are not correct.
thanks
awesome job man 😎✌🏻🇺🇸
THANK YOU!
"Those lights are off on purpose."
In the recording, it was a well overdriven Lowery organ. Although, on most live concert videos, he is playing a hammond

You should try to copy the way brent mydland played it 😉
Brent 🙌
Even better would be to go look at how Lachy Doley played this.
@@sticktothefacts8905 you can sort of see the grateful dead influence.
If I had to put Lachy on a scale though it would fall somewhere between fair to Mydland. (~);}
Cranking the amp. Assume you mean the Leslie amp and not the organ’s preamp…
Yes, see this nice piece. ruclips.net/video/uz7nDRz31Ik/видео.html
Should be played with NO vibrato.
Indeed. And the Leslie should not be in stop.
I disagree. On the song right before Steve sings the chorus you can clearly hear vibrato in that organ.
@@phayzyre1052 ruclips.net/video/ko3m0NBbq1o/видео.html
No vibrato. Leslie gets cranked but no vibrato.
