=> For example, you can play chords on your left and solo with scales, modes, and “licks” on your right hand. The good thing about this is that it frees your left hand up to do many things. The organ changes all of this because it gives you a “bass player” (so to speak) - YOUR FOOT! If you’re solo, then you’ve probably grown to play bass patterns (or power chords) on your left with full chords on your right.

If you play with a band, then you’re probably already accustomed to splitting up your chords into two hands with both your left and right hands constantly at work. In gospel music, most of us are familiar with playing chords on the right hand. With all of this aside, what it all amounts to is the foot and left hand, in my opinion.

Of course, you have to know how to operate the organ (the drawbars, settings, switches, percussions, etc.). Then... there’s the “don’t lift your fingers” rule and the “slide” technique to make your chords sound smooth. Right off the bat, it requires more coordination. One major difference between the piano/keyboard and organ is what I call the “third element.” You’re now managing a foot pedal along with both your left and right hands. I would argue that if you understand the way music works... how scales create chords > chords create progressions > progressions create songs - then you already have a head-start when it comes to picking up a new instrument (…even guitar).ĭon’t get me wrong… there are some differences:

While this doesn’t change on the organ, how you play each particular chord will differ from the piano. For example, in the key of C major, the progression would still consist of some kind of D chord (almost always minor) going to a G chord, finally ending at a C chord. The organ is a lot different from the piano, although the concept of progressions and how chord changes work generally remain the same.īasically, a “2-5-1″ progression on the piano is still a “2-5-1″ progression on the organ.
