Get yourself onto the Internet and start looking it up. There are lesson books out there. Find some recordings of Hammond artists – both jazz and popular – and listen to what the artist does. Do you have a background in organ playing? Have you taken lessons in keyboard techniques? What types of music do you want to play? Do you have a Hammond and a Leslie speaker unit? (You need the Leslie for the rich vibrato-tremolo-phase shift sounds the Hammond can produce.) I’m not familiar with jazz organists other than Jimmy Smith, but for pop organists I can cite Lenny Dee, Klaus Wunderlich, James Last’s Hammond-a-go-go series, and Sir Julian Gould. All but the last one are still available on CD’s. Listen to Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” – the organist is Matthew Fisher. Even the band on American Idol seems to use a Hammond Organ on some numbers. Good luck!
