How To Play A Funky Clavinet Groove - Hartigan's Keyboard Fundamentals

  • In this video, I talk about some of the techniques I use to play funky syncopated clavinet grooves. During the video I mention the "TouchClav" patch that I use on the Yamaha MOTIF. It's a cool sounding clav with a built in "wah" effect that's controlled by key velocity. The same patch is available on quite a few other Yamaha keyboards as well.
    The Keyboard Fundamentals series is a weekly video in which I take a close look at a single element that's been a big part of my playing, and show how I use it and where it can fit in different musical situations. As the series goes on, I'd really like to talk about topics that viewers are interested in, so please do leave comments. I'll probably look to them for future video topics.

    My problem is that i'm afraid that if i could learn to play funky clavinet like this cat i might never get up from the keyboard. Gonna try it anyway.

    Loved this toot, I now can understand why working w/ a metronome is a vital key to this. Mahalo!

    This confirmed what I'd been doing all along to get that funky clav sound. You just splained it really well. I don't know that I could have taught it - it's just something I feel in the moment. I did learn a couple things that I will add to my playing. Thanks!
