Hammond B3 / Organ - Drawbars, FX, Leslie, and more
I have been playing organ professionally for 16 years. I own a 122R Leslie cabinet, and I've used countless Hammond organs and Leslie cabinets through the years.
I can teach anything about organ, and I can show students a few tricks and things to think about while playing organ.

That was just great! AJ is so knowledgeable and is a great communicator. He knows how to share what matters and made sure to give me an ‘assignment’ to reinforce the learnings. I’m a fan!

As a cover band player untrained in piano or organ, all of my skills need improving--rock organ soloing, fingering and chording techniques, patch selection, and more. AJ has been able to help me with all of that. He's patient and has tons of touring experience. That's especially valuable to me as a live performer. Highly recommended!
