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.

    Thawada Ahch I'm not the only one that felt I could quit understand what's up with this technique but you solved it. Your way is the best to apply in any situation with chord progressions or one chord vamps....

    Thank you very much for this great tutorial. I play mostly funk bass but I'm re-exploring my keyboard roots now through lens of funk. This is a great video to help make that transition.
