G. Wiz - Fender Rhodes Suitcase - STEREO
Thank you YouTube viewers for watching my videos over 200,000 times. I sincerely appreciate each of you.Here's a small funky number I wrote about 20 years ago that we used to just use as a blowing vehicle. At that time I gigged on a Yamaha DX7 (like everyone else who was sick of lugging a Rhodes around). I had this interesting gizmo called a BC2 breath controller. I had programmed some patches to actually do some complex things in response to the modulation off this controller. In this tune I always showcased my best patch and worked to get a very expressive, horn-like sound when playing the lead. I also used the pitch bend wheel extensively to get the inflections this tune called for.Here I don't have any breath controller gizmos, so you get to see a bunch of ways that keyboard players emulate that pitch bend thing every other instrument can do but we can't.Bass line was recorded by me on Rhodes also, just different EQ. Drums were donated by Lot2learn and julienned by Ronco Super Duper Looper®.One of the most bodacious things about the Fender Rhodes suitcase piano is the stereo tremolo. And here you get to experience the full on stereo love, thanks to some heavy engineering consulting from my crew.I think you'll appreciate the improved audio quality of this as well. Since I get asked a lot--this is a 1976 suitcase SeventyThree with some special mods. I'm recording direct through a Edirol UA-25 interface and mixing in Audacity. There may also be some secret sauce, but mostly this is how a well-set up Rhodes sounds. Especially when you ar-tic-u-late.

Very very good, you gave and still give me lots of inspirations for my Funkband called "The Hornyax" (on the trombone, by the way, Steve Crane from Supercharge!!) Thanks a lot!

Oy, seriously, you're a great player. This is soo deep'n'groovy. I admire you so very much.I've been considering buying a Rhodes myself, but I'm so scared to death by the thought of repairs and the huge weight of the beast. Any comments from an experienced oldie?

MAN that's good sound! Very nice playing too, can tell the Herbie Hancock influence, but all the better for it :-)
