Funk Techniques in Four Keys

Play this exercise on one manual with both hands. Try to emulate the left-hand ghosting that you hear on the CD. The result of ghosting is a percussive click that is typical in funk style. The combination of Leslie and drawbar settings with percussive two-hand playing can create innite funky effects. Experiment with these patterns and try to create your own. Notice that, in essence, youre distributing the sixteenth notes over both hands. Its almost like drumming on the keyboard. Try rolling the chords slightly. Also, try playing it with and without the bass pedals. Play in F with CD 8track 8 and 8 26, 8 track 26 panned right. 8 play 8 the next three keys with
