DVD Reviews of DVD-Blues and Rock Techniques for Hammond Organ

DVD Review: Nice Intermediate Lessons
Summary: 4 Stars

I don't know why people be hating on this DVD so much, it's really not bad. If you are like me (intermediate amateur, mostly play for self and with friends) and you are trying to teach yourself how to play a Hammond organ clone (recently got a Nord Electro) this DVD will give you a bunch of stuff to practice. And, let's face it, that's what's going to make you better; practice, practice, practice. And this DVD has lots of things to work on. The DVD also comes with a 20 page booklet of transcriptions of the tunes played on it, which is very helpful.

Cohen spends the first 10 minutes just showing how all the drawbars, presets, and odd twiddly knobs on a Hammond work. Then he plays 5-6 different songs (slow, fast, blues-y, funk-y), spending about 10 minutes on each one to show bass lines (mostly pretty simple) and break down solos. Each song is also played as a part of a quartet. Not a bad format for a lesson.

Cohen spends a lot of the playing time analyzing his solos, almost note by note, and what chord variations they are drawn from. All the starting and stopping and chord naming does get a little tedious at times. But you get a lot of music for your $20 (including shipping, from various resellers). And the point is, there are no magic shortcuts to learning how to play any instrument well, you have to just keep playing and challenging yourself and learning. For many people like me, I think, this DVD will give your fingers and brain a workout as you try to channel your inner Booker T./Al Kooper/Lee Michaels/insert favorite organ player's name here...
