I think Ed what's also important when you, "smear and rake" is not to wearing a ring on your right hand because my ring while raking caught a key and ripped it right off the keyboard:O
Hi Ed, don’t know if you read these comments. I just bought a Roland Vr 09B, It’s awesome. I can’t figure out how to get my sustain pedal to work. It seems to be the opposite of a sustain pedal. I got as far as menu, controller but don’t really understand the nomenclature. Need help. Thanks Al D
Hi, I’m trying to get better at answering questions, so yes, I am reading them. Congratulations on your new keyboard I think I have an easy way to help. Depending on your sustain pedal, it might have a polarity switch on it. If there is a switch on the sustain pedal, then flip the switch, and that will change the polarity on the pedal, let me know if this works out for you.
Hi Ed, this video is great! How about you tell me how you do the smear, do you do it on the black notes only? Because I normally rather play piano, but when I do that kind of thing the smear would be more on the black keys and the rake on the white keys? Thanks for the tips! Take care!
Hello, I think in this example I tend to lean on smearing the black notes, however, if I catch some of the white notes in the process it is ok. Ultimately use your ear and adjust as it sounds good to you. Thanks for the comment.
Common alternative terms I think about with the smear glissando....and I think this is only for those who use the Hammond jazz organs....... 1. The hurricane 2. The volcano 3. The thunderstorm 4. The scary kamikaze 5. The fumigator
their own follow-up, the 730, has made this technique even easier, but this is a great video, and there should be more of them, because I'm sure, there are plenty of keyboard players out there, like myself, who have never actually played a real B3....
Hey Ed, I have a weighted keyboard with some organ sounds. Is this technique tough to learn on a heavy action? Am I more likely to mess up my key bed trying the smear and rake? Great video!
Hi Ed. How do you actually install the update. And also, how do you install sounds from Axial. Is it possible to give a step by step instructions. I followed instructions online but had no joy. Please help. Thanks
Brilliant. Thank you. I've always been a bit of a piano/synth purist and not really a fan of organ sounds. But, I've recently seen a guy in a Fleetwood Mac tribute band using the organ sounds to great effect and noticed him doing these techniques..also, I'm working on Born To Be Wild for my band at the moment and have seen a few clips of organ players using this these also..so, it's been really helpful to check out how they should be done properly and even at this late stage in life, try something new, so thanks, once again! 😉👍
hey Ed i'm gunna release an album of music consisting ONLY of smearing which i'm pretty good at :P haha and raking! i'm the master , no hits on it but it will get a cult following hopefully
don't regret learning guitar. just add keyboard as well. The main advantage of 🎸 is portability and if you have acoustic you can take it anywhere and play anytime. No cables no nothing. Playing guitar and singing on the beach while looking at the sunset over the ocean with your significant other is something only guitar players can do!
Play both! I was a guitar player first. Then around 19 years I started playing organ. When I was 21 I was hauling a B3 and Leslie around and playing in some big places like Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Back then, mediocre guitarists were a dime a dozen, but B3 players always had gigs. So play both.
in southern black church music, you have to be pretty damn worked to: growl that low registration wipe. now that high Registration stuff is a snarl. they do sound rather like big furry cats sure Enough. in such settings if you don't have your shit displayed, you get a mere " you sound good" however musicians with chops don't need pats and hugs. we appreciate cold fees. checks will do if we know you. that guy is stuff. on those combi devices it takes a seasoned player to show their worth. thank you sir
Ed always does a great job of explaining technique and tutorials
classic pink floyd technique
The Rake technique is also useful for some heavy synth bass action !!!
Nice tips !!!
The smear was one of the first things my pappy taught me. That's why I call it my "Pap Smear"! :)
Ed Collins Get. Out.
TOOOOO Funny!

You're the greatest, thanks for sharing knowledge to make this world a better place. Luv u man.
Thank you for this.. been trying to learn the proper way.. Thank you so much from Melbourne.
Superb ! Thank you
I like it very much! Keep on lecturing me about playing technics. thx!
Awesome stuff. Thank you!
Your Glissandos sound amazing. My problem is feeling where to place them and the landings are important....btw, I play Hammond B3.

That was exactly my question as well. Thanks Felix for asking and thanks Ed for your clear answer (and thanks for the video in the first place)
Cooool!! Great Ed!
Thanks Ed!

Just what i was looking for thanks
Did you hit the black keys or white keys or both when you did the smear?
Hello, I hit both black and white keys. Thanks for asking!
@@EdDiazKeys that'd be incredibly hard! but still thnk u

Thanks Ed. Good practical stuff.
Ed- Can you (or anyone) guide me on how to set the VR-09 to best emulate the B3 sound?
Thanks.
Merci Beaucoup Ed Díaz Super !!!

hi
It is good idea
Do you have the old one I can buy it

Is the smear supposed to hurt the first times or am I doing it wrong 😖
Try to do the smear with a light touch and hopefully that will help you from hurting your hand. The smear should never be done with a heavy hand.
@@EdDiazKeys Thanks! This really helped me out!
Question: When you are doing the smear, are you smearing both the black and white keys at the same time?
You can tell he is hitting both because of the Tritones.if it as just black or white they'd be a scale
great
It looks like you're just playing black keys on the smear. Have i got that right?
"Scrub the Dishes"....LOL...😎
keyboard players are like the best! Sometime I regret learning the guitar instead.
don't regret learning guitar. just add keyboard as well. The main advantage of 🎸 is portability and if you have acoustic you can take it anywhere and play anytime. No cables no nothing.

So play both.
As a piano player, I often wish I'd learned guitar instead.
As a guitar player I'm glad I learned and purchased a Hammond B3 organ. It kept me working for 25 years.
That's the reason Roland and the rest Korg, Yamaha should invest in quality keys instead of those cheesy plastic feel that they been using lately.
Mexlycan Filmico yeah exactly!!!

I really like that Mr. Miyagi... Wax On Wax Off.. Rake n Smear.. As Mr Miyagi wud say... Keep working on the keyboard.. Haha..!! 😄👍
Your slap hand? Lol.....
I have that t=shirt bro
lol@4:35
I hate organists who do too much wiping, raking and smearing. It gets annoying after a while.
trow the hate away and listen to the music
Keyboard keys loose 🤣🤣🤣🤣
