Zero attack and zero release, that's where the funk is 😁👍

[davidochenrider]

Best intro ever! "...he's the f%ckin' Maltese Falcon. And it's a f%ckin' Friday..." 
Solid Jack. 
Solid.

[erickhaynie]

The man’s got class, talent and grace!

I never have made sense of clav. When you talked about the dry, unadorned style, I definitely thought of myself. I hope to eventually get better at it, with the help of this video & others.

[warrenroberts]

Definitely do another vid with some more advanced clay techniques!!! This is great! Loved when you went to the key of C for a bit

[yokeshhsekoy]

Jack, I'm a guitarist and just starting to mess with synths and keyboards. And this really helped me to get started on clavs. Especially the tap the table bit!

Great stuff! Keep em coming!

[dgsoundCA]

Thank you sooo much for doing this video, Jack! 🙏🤘

[williamshaneblyth]

Awesome just that tap the desk and play black notes is a game changer chur bro

[JonMurray]

Such a good video man!!! I’m away to bang on a clav plugin and start drumming away! Cheers guys!

[francescodefendi]

Great job Jack… very interesting even for non-keyboard player 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼😊

[apislapis]

Excellent Jack. Now I know how to get that funky space duck sound. Thanks.

[kalletjaben-jazz-funk-soul-key]

Jack! Again a great video of yours (and you did many many)… you’re a REAL musician ❤️

[lance]

Gee, this makes me want to play some clav patches. Thanks.

[daveshan]

Knowledge bombs 💣- These videos are amazing, keep em coming!!!

[nickmoloney]

Brilliant vid!!! Great on every level, as always great playing

[JeffPalmer]

Great video! It occurred to me during this how similar this can be to basic poly synth sound with a basic “organ envelope” (ie 0 attack, 0 release) and then maybe a bit of a resonant filter envelope for Wah-like effect. Playing style can work for both!

[Bassbarbie]

Really useful, thanks. I'm looking at getting my first keyboard and have been in a dilemma over weighted keys so this really helps. I've been watching loads of your videos and have now subscribed :)

[wojtczyk]

Thank you for this, Jack. I learned a lot - as always.

[jorge-keys]

Nice video!! Besides this rhythmic playing, emulating fingerpicking guitar patterns on the clav is also great. "Big Brother" or "Happier Than The Morning Sun" by Stevie are clear examples of this underrated technique!

[devilsdoorbell]

I know a clavinet's sound when I hear it, but I hadn't put much thought into style or technique and how it's different. Aside from Stevie Wonder, I often hear it in the 70s songs from ELO - Evil Woman, Last Train to London, etc. and now I get how it's 'pokey' as you described it, as well as some of the other effects added to it. Nice video.
