The Jackson 5 used a lot of clavinet on their early 70's songs, like Dancing Machine. Michael did too, in his first album Got To Be There, it's used in pretty much every song.
How weird, when you started the narration I thought, ‘this sounds like Alex Ball’, whom I also subscribe to. And sure enough it was! Expertly delivered by Dr Mix
The iconic Superstition sound is actually two different Clavinet parts. Stevie Wonder released mp3s of the multitrack master to serve as a challenge to anyone interested in mixing and DJing. Listening to them separately it's clear that one is the lead and the other filler but they both combine to be something greater than the individual parts.
@@husq48Pianote has a video of his touring keyboardist showing off the song - so she could obviously play the second part, plus she mentions that one part gets played on guitar. I imagine if Stevie had to play it on his own, he has enough funk in his body that he could make it sound good with one part.
Last night at a gig, I was using a great clav patch, I created on my Yamaha YC61. Such a powerful cutting sound, for trading licks with the guitar player. Today I see the history of the original instrument. Fantastic! Love you for sharing your knowledge about this wonderful instrument. Happy Trails...🎶🌎☮
Claudio, I think you've just produced the best Skillshare advert that's ever been made. They will love you for it! Super fun and informative as always, you are a treasure! Bravo!
the clavinet has been on my wish list for three decades. never found one i could afford. and still, they are really expensive in good working order. i'ld love to find a wreck to restore myself in order to own one. this iconic sound is fantastic.
everybody pays homage to doctor mix for his fantastic promo, but not everybody knows that Italians have been raised in the vocoder magic italo disco and his generation dreamed see advertises jingles masterpieces as lo- love-love-lovable-looovable made with roland. Anyway thank you arturia for the Clavinet vst and him for this outstanding video
Sun Ra was a very early adapter of the clavinet. He called it the "solar sound instrument"! He made some amazing records with it in the 60's and 70's that folks should check out if they dig the sound.
Nice summary of the history of the Hohner Clavinet. When I think of the Clavinet the first musician that comes to mind is Terry Adams, a virtuoso that plays the Clavinet as his primary instrument in every NRBQ recording and live performance since the mid-1960s through today.
I just came across this video through pure incidence. Actually I've always asked myself what a Clavinet is and where it came from. Everybody knows the Rhodes piano. Thanks for going into such details with it. Das war sehr interessant, vielen Dank!
The Clav showed up in lots of different genres from arena rock (Foreigner's "Cold as Ice") to Country (Charlie Daniel's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"). Fortunately, most digital synths have a range of very convincing clav sounds, so you have to be a real purist to insist on an original.
Foreigner used the Clavinet a lot on their first album. I saw them very early in their career, and they used to have THREE of them on stage: one for the keyboard player, Al Greenwood, and one each for guitarists Mick Jones and Ian McDonald. They often played two of them in song intros, and even all three in one song (The Damage Is Done).
I called the Homer harmonica factory in Germany in 1975 from my dad’s office when I was ten. Mountain bell ran a credit check on me and since my father and I had the same name and they agreed to make the call, no one seemed to notice I was a child. I got a hold of a guy who spoke english and tried to get him to say how to bend a note and got nowhere with that and all it cost was $100.
Best skill share promo I’ve seen on the web. PERIOD!..
FOREEAL
yes it is!! ahaha Damn almost clicked on the link at the end xDD
Totally. If all advertisement worked like this, I wouldn't mind it.
the promo was the best song I heard today PERIOD.. the new Apifera album is sounding pretty good though too
YEP!
I'm barely 2 minutes into this video and it's already fantastic. More instrument history lessons please!
+1 yes please!
OH YES!!!!
God please my brain craves information
yes yes give us more video like this!
That was the most legit ad I've ever seen at the end. Such a genuine tune! Your bright spirit is inspiring.
The Jackson 5 used a lot of clavinet on their early 70's songs, like Dancing Machine. Michael did too, in his first album Got To Be There, it's used in pretty much every song.
One of my favorite instruments since I was a little kid (late '60s/early '70s). Terry Adams of NRBQ deserves a shout-out.
Keith Emerson and "Tank" Solo on Clavinet, oh god
The amount of effort put into the end of the video is amazing! The song mixed with the video was so good!
This video was different... I like it A LOT!!!!

How did he pull it off live?

That may be the best Skillshare sponsor intro EVER
You and Alex are working together????? Love this!!! Both of you are my favorite RUclips people!!!!!!
Yeah! I reached out to him because I like his documentaries a lot!
Fantastic! 😍
*Cover, Sound like Stevie Wonder live (done !) **ruclips.net/video/A__ePQHqZwo/видео.html*
@@Doctormix yes, he's very talented. I had loved his Brad Fiedel's Terminator history and cover. you and him : Great duo !!
Please make more of such videos, I haven’t seen something this entertaining since last Dr. Mix’s upload
Incredible video! Please do more like this!
Such a great video. With the way you did the ad, I wanted to watch all the way through! Kudos! 👍🏾🙌🏾

So much better than the usual “oh and a word from my sponsors” snippet in many other RUclipsrs videos! Well done!
DAMN THAT PROMO SONG WAS FIRE
That skillshare song was awesome! Release it!
Best Sponsor advert ever.excellent. great video.
You never fail to impress, but shredding on an accordion is next level impressive.
I love like the sound of the Clavinet.
Claudio, I think you've just produced the best Skillshare advert that's ever been made. They will love you for it! Super fun and informative as always, you are a treasure! Bravo!
Vintage Vibe just came out with the Vibanet (their Electric Clavichord) which is lighter weight and it has Clavigel to help with restringing.
Good info....
Thank you very much
Very captivating video, great work!
Interesting! Love that sound. Ps the video editing course payed off! Funkiest Skillshare commercial out there!
the clavinet has been on my wish list for three decades. never found one i could afford. and still, they are really expensive in good working order. i'ld love to find a wreck to restore myself in order to own one. this iconic sound is fantastic.
gotta be honest, this skill share sponsor is the best sponsor i've ever watch in my life since im also a big fan with clavinet lol.

Great rundown on the Clavi, best 5min education on the subject ever. Also best SkillShare promo I've ever seen! Claudio = The Man.
Hey man, I'm a frequent viewer of your channel and i love your content and all the vintage synth stuff, keep it up man!
This was super interesting. Do a video on the history of the Rhodes next please!
i really admire your content Dr Mix! your advice and historical video like this one for example has helped me big time! to appreciate music
Shoutout to my man alex ball. That guy really needs some more attention.
Loving the sound of the vocoder as well
soon, in a new chapter of Dr. Mix adventures, THE HARPEJJI.
Keimax speak it into EXISTENCE 😫
Cool instrument Claudio, a classic sound for sure... and yeah, Alex Ball's channel is really good too.
Love music history, really enjoyed that. Great editing and custom animation (cutouts) Claudio, lol.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Wow! I had no idea! Thank you! Great info!
Why does this channel not have 1,000,000 subs yet? They deserve it.
This video is better than a production made by Hollywood !!! I look forward to your Netflix channel !!
What a brilliant video. And you're disgustingly talented. Just subscribed...
Very good you are amazing demonstrator I really impressed keep your good job greetings from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
I’m not gonna lie-I normally ignore promotional content on RUclips, but that Skillshare ad you made was top notch!
Love the instrument history! Also great sponsor ad!

Grazie Doctor Mix anche per questo video. Apprezzo molto la tua "modalità" di comunicare la musica.
I really like this video music and history 👌
That Introoo Thougghhhhh ahahaha, Love ittt.
SkillShareee
Awesome Video as Alwayssss Claudio💝
Great job man. You researched this very well. And I am glad to see my birth city appearing in your video. Your pronunciation is superb !

Best skill, share, promo ever!
The phenomenal video, at last somebody does a good thing, The promo is excellent, thanks doctor mix ... nexxxxxxxxxxxxt
Damn Claudios! That intro was smooth i could listen to you make a full version of that lol great video.
Best promo I’ve seen in years
Great video. My favorite Hohner instrument is the pianet. Theres also a pianet/clavinet combo keyboard.
I just came across this video through pure incidence. Actually I've always asked myself what a Clavinet is and where it came from. Everybody knows the Rhodes piano. Thanks for going into such details with it. Das war sehr interessant, vielen Dank!

Thanks for the skill share signed up there :D gonna try learn my synth
you are amazing!!! really good very celestial videos :-) thanxs i will to Skillshare
That Skillshare promos going to be an earworm.
Clavinet made the 1970's music special. Stevie wonder's superstition got the music industry on board. Thank you for the video.👍
Very nice history lesson.Greets from Germany!
Man your videos are so awesome
Thanks!!
Thank you for free skillshare!!!
As expected! Fun Facts, Sounds (can we take this thing apart?)
So cool, to take a look for internals
I called the Homer harmonica factory in Germany in 1975 from my dad’s office when I was ten. Mountain bell ran a credit check on me and since my father and I had the same name and they agreed to make the call, no one seemed to notice I was a child. I got a hold of a guy who spoke english and tried to get him to say how to bend a note and got nowhere with that and all it cost was $100.
Very well compressed and greatfully presented information. I want one for synths.
Worth watching just for the skillshare ad!
Dr. Mix and Alex Ball colab? LIKE!
Excellent video!
Great Video 🎶
Loved the puns!!
Just few seconds into the video and I was like: "What the funk...?"
James Brown's Music sounds great on this thing
Damn did I just jam out to an ad? Worth it
You're a nut. And a mensch. This was terrific. Rock on.
Great video!!!
One of the best songs that uses that clavinet is part 8 of shine on you crazy diamond.
Clavinet is a beautiful instrument
What a clav-er chap you are. 😃
Haha omg 😆
Hahahaha, well played sir, well played.
Tnx for great vid
Something is new, Mr. Ball!
HAHAHA the ad should be played on TV!
Foreigner's "Long, Long, Way From Home" utilized the instrument as well.
Great video
LMAO that intro was the best ad I've seen
Wow, I'm tempted to get one. Imagine playing Bach on the clavinet (and playing stevie wonder on a clavichord)!
I remember that Stevie wonder song. Now it makes sense
You ain’t lived til you’ve seen Dr Mix play the Blue Danube on the ah-cor-deen. You teaser, play more!!!
Best promo on youtube
*Cover, Sound like Stevie Wonder live (done !) **ruclips.net/video/A__ePQHqZwo/видео.html*
My favorite song featuring a Hohner Clavinet, would hands down have to be "Nutrocker" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Funkiest x-mas song ever, imo!
You look like Jacksepticeye if he went into Music instead of Gaming. Also, the best Skillshare promo I've ever seen!!
Great video!!!! So funny!
The only Ads I don´t want to skip are the ones produced by DrMix
Great video. Entertaining, educating and funny. Btw can you break down The Jackson Sisters’ “I Believe In Miracles” for us please? Thanks!
Hahaha! Ok I will
The instrument is perfect for funk, since it has a weird sound perfect for more rhythmic playing.
Thank! Great!
