And he is actually like-that " In Real-Life " - I live in NYC ( met him, took his recording classes, saw Chic live, hung-out with him in a club 3x's ). and every-time he is Just so Super-Cool , down-to-earth & besides being the Funkiest guy on the planet. He is: The Hitmaker.

レコーディング時には「軽く」弾くというのが面白い。 ピッキングノイズの割合が大きくなり、コンプでアタックを強調したような効果が自然に得られるわけだな。

Nile is a genius, my deepest respect

Nile is a jazzmaster, he knows all the inversions along the neck!

He is like a Guitar Chord "Vocabulary and Inversion" Machine. Love Nile. He is All About: Making Good Music. Such a Positive Cat. oNe LovE from NYC.

Nile inspires my playing.....his style is unparalleled.

beautiful vibe. This man embodies such good vibes. his guitar playing is "just" an extension of that.

thank you for this interview, very inspiring

Thiswas great...thanks for posting!

great information about the light touch when recording!

Fascinating at 4:32: "[When recording] I play very light and the sound cuts through." I miss the unbelievable tone Nile Rodgers got on "Savoir Faire" from a hollow body, but his superlative riffing from "The Hitmaker" Stratocaster is monumental.

これはとても素晴らしい動画ですね！！ 感動しました！！

Nile strikes me as such a joyful, soulful, generous, lovable and loving man. Brings to mind Sly Stone - another helluva guy and musician. Real glad I found this vid - many thanks!

Excellent. Thx!

So important is jazz harmony. He made it funky!!

The look of pure joy on Nile's face!

Completely agree. Many of the vamps & riffs in funk & disco are jazz. I could hear it right away: Chic, Black Ivory (Leroy Burgess), Kool & the Gang, many more. I play music as an amateur for fun with two different groups. They were amazed to learn that I love this music. I told them the real dance music was played in clubs, the best of it r'n'b based. Their concept of disco was from Top 40 radio. Though there were some awesome numbers there too, "Shame" Evelyn "Champagne" King & "Don't Leave Me..." Thelma Houston. When I told them the disco sucks movement was racist they were pissed off with me. You should have seen the reaction when I tried to explain rap & hip hop. They went wild.

素晴らしかったです。

I haven’t seen him play a lot of melody and harmony lines that aren’t heavy strumming and he sounds great. Not that I didn’t think he couldn’t, just most vids I see of him are him playing the disco funk strumming hits Back again. Dude he’s just incredible. Like he’s switching up the phrasing and the voicings. That’s crazy. You really gotta know the fretboard. And to be accurate that high up the fretboard with so little space is crazy. And all these hammer offs, like jeez man

Nile does lead solos, but it's rare and often two bars or less. "Savoir Faire" off C'est Chic is just excellent jazz guitar, and King of the World has some nasty solos on it. Recently, "In Dream" by Alex Bone has one of his longest guitar solos ever! So much guitar expertise compressed into simple-seeming "chucking" grooves.

@@DiscoHank Yes! I forgot about that super-tasty jazz funk, also Bernard Edwards bass punctuation is so bouncy-funky. " So Fine" off _Take It Off_ is another stellar song with Nile's lead solo riff, monster solo, and Wes Montgomery two-note chords. After the "disco sucks" backlash Chic fired the Chic Strings 😥, giving more room for keyboards and guitar.

such elegance

I call him Mr. Feeling. It sound like so Hendrixish in the middle,amazing!!

COol guy, awesome player!

ホントすごいなー

One of the greats.

He is one of the best chord melody player ever.

Beautiful. Wish I could translate into all languages. I think Niles has taken care of transcending those barriers.

The best ever

He have Hendrix in his vocabulary. No doubt. One of the true masters of the Strats legacy. Nile Rodgers.

I love Niles talent,does it all!

Nile Rodgers is god

Love Nile

guitar master!

it's kinda funny that he can be so tight on record and performances, but when he just plays there it's kinda not on point and very human, i like that. Makes it feel reachable

agreed. this guy simply oozes talent ...

@@michael_caz_nyc thanks, I forgot about that song! Great opening guitar, great solo, then great riffing to the end.. People discount the Chic albums after the group shrank and disbanded the Chic strings, but there are some great R&B tracks on Take It Off.

Oltre ad essere una leggenda del funky groove sembra una bellissima persona ....

Nile is funk music forever...I love this music...es él mejor...jajajajaja

彼のコードワークが単なる伴奏を超えコーラス同様に唄っているのはピアノ演奏が核にあるからかな コードを音の塊と解釈せず単一のコードでも状況に応じて異なる構成音に唄わせる考え方だ それとジャズに影響されると正確さを重んじきっちり弾く人が多い印象があったが 彼は非常にアバウトな感覚派で本能寄りな解釈をしている 恐らく過去のライブ演奏ではその時々で異なるアプローチをしていただろうし そうした理論に縛られない口ずさめる親しみ易さが聴く人を虜にするのかも知れない

pure individualistic playing.

It's just the clean guitar signal into the DAW, he uses various DI boxes. I myself got the tone using amplitube 4 and no DI box just straight into my interface. But it's the way he plays that softly that's the most important, and then get a really clean tone inside your daw, like zero gain on the amp almost, barely touch the gain :D

as per wikikpedia Rodgers plays a 1960 Fender Stratocaster with a 1959 neck, affectionately nicknamed "The Hitmaker", which he acquired as a trade-in at a small shop in Miami Beach, Florida. Exceptionally light, it has a maple fingerboard and bears a well-worn white finish. Rodgers claims it does not sound like any other Stratocaster in the world. (In his autobiography, Le Freak, An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco and Destiny)
