Creating“Pad Tracks” is one of the most valuable skills you can have as an organ player. Especially when playing with others. Laying down a supportive part that builds emotion in the right places is an art. In this new chapter of my online course we dissect a classic Jackson Browne track and learn to create a pad track to add or take away energy in all the right places. This is a masterclass in chord inversions and drawbar moves 🙂. When you have it all together you can play along w the chart and the backing track. Already a member?
