As a once prog rock/jazz wannabe organist I note that 80 percent of my professional playing gigs involved music more along the lines of Americana/roots/country/blues gigs. It is concepts and techniques such as the ones that your lay out here that helped me to get a good number of gigs. You always do a great job of presenting useful information. Listen up kids - this is must-know stuff. 😊

Love this, thanks! Stuff I've known and done for 50 years. But OMG I noticed I don't really ever think to do the sus2 in 1st inversion! Thanks for pointing out a blind spot.

Many thanks Mike! This subject is something I've struggled with for years. How to blend in with the texture of a 12 string accoustic ballad song without overpowering. I'm glad to see you enjoying your chop!

Great video Mike! It's like you were reading my mind. :). I have been listening to Jone Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" quite a bit lately, due to the organ playing, piano, and of course the amazing storytelling lyrics.

Hey Mike - great video - really got me into trying these techniques. I really like the phrase you use 'sound musical' - would love for you to explore this a little more, if you get a chance. Cheers from the other side of the Pond

As a bass player trying to get a handle on the organ, your videos are so helpful. I’m sure much of it is boring to others but very important to me. Thanks so much.👍

Good lesson Mike , thank you!. It really helps to see all the chords and inversions with the added micro licks and walk downs in the number system which I am working to integrate without having to think too much. :)

Also, folks might want to note that the C major pentatonic (as shown) has the same notes as the A minor pentatonic that we know from blues & rock; they're just differently stressed in licks. And to finish off, in many cases while you want to camp out on the major pentatonic, you can often slide for a moment into the blues scale (e.g, C minor pentatonic plus flat fifth) and slip a blues lick in. That's acceptable in country today, with country mainstream having adopted a lot from other genres (thanks especially to Willie Nelson.) But, maybe not when you're doing an authentic Ralph Stanley cover.

This was a really good one! Thank you. I know you’re an Ian Mcglagan fan, so if you ever get 5 minutes it would be really cool if you could do a video on Happy Boys Happy by the Small Faces. It’s quite simple, and only 4 chords, but there’s some detail I just cant pick out.

One of the great things about this is, it's so easy that only a little practice will go a long way. This is one of the tools at the heart of a simple basic toolkit, where just a few tools, applied well (WHILE LISTENING TO THE REST OF THE BAND!), can make a player with limited technical skills sound like a really good player.
