I know this thread is a few months old, but thought I'd chime in. In the 80's I learnt to play on a Hammond 2 tier organ with pedals (1 octave). My left hand was generally all about the chords, starting with triads & variations from the roots then adding the octave on the thumb when my hands got big enough. It was pretty simple stuff generally and just stayed around the same left hand side of the bottom keyboard with the odd arpeggio etc. As a result I've got a bit of a lazy left hand which was a pain when moving to synths/pianos etc. Often used walking bass on the pedals with the more jazzy stuff, and sped up the Leslie when hitting choruses or emotional highs. I've dreamed of replicating a similar setup with a Stage 4/midi keyboard/midi pedals/swell pedal some day.
