This Weeks Music School: Steroid Organ Chords



For today's music school we are going to look at steroid organ chords. These chords are just too phat which means that there is just so much going on in the chord. Here are just three examples of some organ chords.

Believe or not. The organ is one of the hardest instruments to play because it requires the third element which is the use of the foot.

As an organ player, I find that with the use of the third elements which is your foot allows you to have a little more freedom to create those organ chords.
