Thank You @Doctor Mix .... This would have to be the MOST not correctly played pop song on any keyboard instrument. First thing is that the LEFT hand is playing the motif, the RH is comping/ghost-noting as you point out. THEN we have "a whole other, secondary Clavinet part going on, as well" as you mention. The rest is all about "note durations", landing on "the pocket" and .... "variations". "Easy" but "very very difficult".

According the visual on the video you have brilliant and high engaged, medium and soft off, and D and B for pickup settings (first 2 switches down, last 4 switches up). I believe a closer setting is brilliant, high and medium engaged, and C and B for pickups (first 3 switches down 4th up, 5th down, 6th up), no damper. I think that you will find that this is closer in sound than your settings.

Feel accounts for so much when you're trying to wrap your head around a player's style. For example, I learned years ago the trick to John Frusciante's guitar style can be learned by watching him strum a guitar. It's all alternating up and down, generally steady, rhythmic strumming and he makes the notes he wants by being able to play and mute strings with his left hand. That's where his funk comes from. He plays Scar Tissue live by strumming up and down, not plucking. It's all jamming on all the strings, almost banging on the guitar to express the rhythm.

To my ears in addition to the Clavi sound there is a beautiful crunch and distortion coming from the pickups/preamps that give it such bite and growl. I have been looking for a Clavinet for years here in Australia, but they are VERY expensive here in Australia!

Indeed. Michael McDonald's "I Keep Fogettin' " was one of the last "pop" songs that featured a true and bonafide Clavinet, played by multi-keyboardist extraordinaire Greg Phillinganes, I believe. That song was mixed so extremely well, that the sound of Greg's Clav, McDonald's Fender Rhodes, Porcaro's drums and Johnson's bass...all playing in sync...created even further, a sound that made that whole song sounded like ONE BIG GIGANTIC instrument! Those types of recording, engineering, mixing and techniques of creativity are, oh so, very long gone today. "Sampled" indeed, but nearly impossible to re-create. And so beit. BCRadio
