Spoems - Green Onions (organ solo cover version)

Green Onions (organ solo cover version)

Back


I've stayed as close as possible with my right hand to the organ solo in the original recording from 1962, and to get a full bass left hand sound I'm using a pedal tone with my thumb, in addition to the walking bass. I'm playing at around 140BPM as it is the tempo in the original recording. The piano is an Yamaha P-120 with the jazz organ setting. Green Onions was composed and first recorded by Booker T. and The M.G's in 1962. ---------- I recieve questions in comments and in messages about learning playing this song so I finally put together a rather lengthy guide (actually it's a number of pages long) for learning songs and learning this song in particular. If you would like to have my guide for learning Green Onions, just ask for it in a comment or a message here at YouTube and I'll send the guide to your YouTube message inbox. ----------
