Green Onions ( Booker T. and The MGs) Organ Cover Nord C1 Hammond B 3 Clonewheel Organ Clavia

This is my cover version of Green Onions. The trademark chorded chorus and it s bass line comes from an interview I saw with Booker T. in Keyboard Magazine. The solo is a copycat version of Booker T s solo from the 1962 original recording. I have tried to capture in detail all ornaments, fast notes, grace notes that Booker T plays during his four chorus long solo. He plays them deliberately and frequently, and they are very important for the song. The left hand bass line I m playing during the solo is picked from Lewie Steinberg s bass line from the original 62 recording. I m playing at around the same tempo as in the original recording. I have also uploaded tutorial videos covering the chords and left hand bass lines I m using for this version.
