Superstition - Stevie Wonder (acoustic cover)

Музыка

TUTORIAL: / coreyheuvel
STARBIRD -- my latest album of original music:
• Starbird (2022)
WEBSITE: coreyheuvel.com
I uploaded a version of this classic song with a basic video camera over 10 years ago and pretty much since that time you guys have been bugging me to upload it again with better quality audio / video. Here's one I captured recently on a livestream, I hope you enjoy!
"Superstition" was originally released in 1972 on Stevie's 15th(!) studio album Talking Book. It was a huge song back then and it still gets played all the time on radio, film etc. as well as being an obvious standard for musicians of all types. Truly, one of the greatest songs ever.
FUNFACT: Jeff Beck helped inspire the song by laying down the drum groove while Stevie sorted out the parts on the clavinet... Jeff Beck! On drums!?
Audio Setup Chain:
Guitar and Vocal - AKG c451b Mic and APEX 460 Mic - PRO MPA II - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 - 2019 iMac - Logic Pro X - OBS - KZread

Watch a live video from like Dave Matthews Band or another good stage presence, and see if the tempo keeps the same bpm throughout or if they pick up or slow down over time.

    What’s remarkable here is moving seamlessly from rhythmic parts to open soloing, while dropping in carefully placed muted strums and rhythmic motifs as place markers to help listeners keep track of the beat. I’m not a big fan of the ubiquitous click tracks to which most modern digital recordings are snapped. The tools available for digital music production today are amazing- GarageBand which comes loaded free on your IPhone has capabilities that George Martin and the Beatles could not even have dreamed of when they pioneered music creation in a multi track studio setting, but those click tracks can and often do give music a soulless and mechanical feel. This guy’s performances have what the creators from the pre-digital era that he mines for material also had- a flexible but strong and solid inner sense of time which informs every sound he makes.

He is up there with the likes of the best without a doubt, whether it be Tommy Emmanuel or Chet Atkins. He is a phenom and a major talent, and deserves far more recognition than he has.

    Bro I LOVE this! I've been trying to arrange Superstition for my acoustic set and needed some ideas... First of all, you're amazing! And second of all THANK YOU, you've given me a lot to work with and learn from; you did such a sick job with this. I'm a fan now!
