Thats how its supposed 2 be done. If you dont do it with your feet then you should just play a keyboard

Yea, the pedals provide you sub bass and adds fullness. I thought that I was supposed to play them as well, I have been doing it or13 years... I was under the impression that was the essence of the shout...

OKAY.... let me make sure I understand what is being said here.

You all play the bass line for shout music with your feet... not with your hands on the low end of the keys?!?!

Dare I say.... WHOAH... You all need to pray that a brother get some fast feet like y'all..... WOW!!! :roll: :roll: :oops: :oops:

The_Gifted_1 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 09, 2005, 12:24:47 PM »

you can play the bass line with your hand to but you still have to work the foot pedals

I aint even gonna lie....I tried playin with the foot pedals, and i kinda got the hang of it..but on the shout......I can kiss that good-bye :oops: I think i'll figure it out soon though

i don't know how. and especially not in a key like Ab, because my foot will not go past B. I use my left foot, and anything past B is TOO far!

I just use my left hand to play bass, then again, we don't have special shouting music. we go with the timing of the song we just sang, and we do whatever. as far as the bass pedals are concerned, i can just keep hitting Ab (or whatever key the song is in)--staccato like.

Practice Practice Practice for all those who said they cant shout with their feet. Its the only way you will learn. You should also learn to b able to cross ya legs when playin higher notes on the pedal board. (I can go up to F without a problem.) Key word here is Practice

i really don't have time to practice bass pedaling b/c i never have time to practice on a real organ. i only have my keyboard at home.

nextlevelmusic · « **Reply #14 on:** August 11, 2005, 06:39:56 PM »

I am the same way, I can't practice on the organ enough to play w/ my foot. I wish I could though.

musician_organist · « **Reply #15 on:** August 11, 2005, 08:51:45 PM »

i just got the hang of even using the pedals in the first place, but i don't know them well enough not to look down every so often, and a lot of times, i find myself hitting the wrong pedals. half the time, the only reason i use the pedals is b/c i feel out of place not doing so. otherwise, i wouldn't be bothered with them.

princeoftheb3 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2005, 10:29:05 PM »

I would play with the pedals but I be getting tired I can do 1 base line then the shouting music seems to get slower

When using the pedals (especially during shouting music) use the heal of foot on the naturals (white notes) and your toe on the sharps and flats (black notes). Practice this slowly and gradually speed up. Eventually you'll be the tempo of shouting music.

I used to run my foot over the pedals when the volume was of to practice using them when I wasn't playing.

Word I tried playin the PEDALS on shout music ....................................... ......can't do it....... I can play anything else but shout music I just can't move that fast. But I'll get it!!!
