I bought the Stevie Wonder Anthology songbook. It’s pretty accurate, but what I always think when looking at his songs, and chord progressions is that it’s obvious he’s blind. It’s like he chooses notes by feel and sound, not really of chord progressions. Especially with the chromatic movement, and the modulations he often uses in his songs. He’s truly a gifted genius.
So what are you saying exactly ? Because he's visually impaired , he doesn't know any music theory and wouldn't know what a 'chord progression' is and resorts to chromaticism and modulations because of it - presumably he doesn't know what modulation is though because he wont know what a key is & thinks chromaticism is something to do with colour .
Sometimes? The goal of people who get paid to create sheet music is not to create an accurate representation of the song. Their goal is to create something relatively inexperienced pianists can play that sounds pretty close to the original song without introducing complexity. And do it quickly so they get paid. They have to do this by ear, and not all sheet music writers have the same level of discernment when it comes to hearing the subtleties in recorded music in all styles.
@@-303- exactly, and that's when you find your keyboard player coming to the studio saying "I got it perfect, as I learned it form the book" (without checking by ears.. An now, try to convince them that the groove is not accurate. lol.
@@-303- You're correct. I was often frustrated by the inaccuracies of printed music when I was a student. But it's also what helped contribute to developing my ears even more.
Often. Don't ever try playing "So What?", by Miles Davis, from the Real Book. The "chords" aren't conventional chords at all, but McCoy Tyner-style stacked fourths. Ditto for any Monk tune, with his sharp sixths, and other chord alterations. The Real Book DOES get the change from "Killer Joe" (all 13ths) right, though. Thank God for small favors... 😂
Some of my favorite chords of all time! I frequently use them even when soloing more pop/rock music, like my bands' versions of Come Together, Cheap Sunglasses, and more. They really lend themselves to parallel harmonic motion, but that also makes it easy to play "out" and create tension and interest in a way that doesn't feel weird to people. But back to the topic at hand... you're probably not going to see any notation that captures this accurately outside of pure transcription.
Interesting fact: The DRUMS on the first demo were played by legendary guitarist JEFF BECK. The band had gone for a break and Jeff stayed with Stevie. He started playing one of the few drum beats he could play, and Stevie asked him to keep it going as he laid down the first riffs of SUPERSTITION... the rest is history.
I tried to figure out the keyboard parts years ago but it was impossible for me to figure out exactly what he played on the layered clavinet parts. It sounded one-dimensional to me and I just read in the comments that there were 8 layered parts (so it's no wonder I couldn't figure it out). I never even noticed the quarter notes in the left hand doubing the bass. This is amazing to see and hear clavinet patterns individually!
That performance right there, is funky as hell, you simply cannot listen to this song and not groove with it…. Well done Victoria….. and thank you Stevie for writing it…. Genius
Beautiful presentation! Loved the counter-melodies of this song. We played them in a marching drum ensemble during the 1970s with the pentatonic bass riff on tuned tom-tom drums and the counter-melody riffs from the horns on steel drums. Always a crowd-pleaser as we strutted down the street during parades. I was in the US Army in Monterey, CA at the time. The arrangement provided a wonderful lift to the spirit during those years. Long live Mr. Wonder and his continuous inspiration! Great to see him still active at the recent NAMM 2024 show 50 years later. Genius!
... well - if I had to drop my piano lessons with you so you could go work with The Master, and this is the result, I can only scream with joy!! Lovin' this!
Heard this song a million times, it's always been one of my favorite, after watching and relistening to it again, it took my senses up another level, a "higher ground " you might say. I will listen to this song for days,THANK YOU!!
I love how even after soooo many times performing, she has to dance when she hears and plays it! How can you not, with such an iconic song from a musical Titan?
I love Stevie Wonder and this song in particular. Pretty sophisticated for a pop tune. Every time I try to come up with a funky riff, I end up rewriting this one. Can't improve on perfection.
This song to me is a classic example of musical genius of the funky variety. I love the way she explains the song in a fun, approachable and technical way. Thank you so much for breaking down what makes this song and specifically the keyboard parts so dang good!
This, and "Outta Space" by Billy Preston are about the finest uses of the Hohner D6 Clavivet I ever heard. I used to use a Clavinet patch to impersonate a rhythm guitar, when I was still involved in house music production. When you have to FedEx that finished track tomorrow...
Beau, ti and very full! Thanks so much...I enjoyed this so much with a smile on my face all through...I have been playing this song by ear all my life, nice to finally get to see what the real thing is...GOD Bless you!
I used to love playing this in my wedding/party band. I worked out the basics, but this fleshes it all out more thoroughly, especially that 2nd part that gives everything that more complex vitality. Can't wait to get back to the keys and work through this more! Thank you for this enjoyable video. Love your beauty and great energy, too!
The actual session for this song has been floating around for years, I have it also. That Clav is Not just one part. And on the record, no guitar in the intro. The Clav is actually 8 separate parts played 2gether. I have all 8 tracks separated, plus an alternative lead vocal with Stevie talking, patting his foot and making sounds in-between singing. Where he keeps saying "Funky, - Funky Monkey". Because the track was so grooving to him. Also I have his soloed drum track, plus the horns soloed. And the final lead vocal that ended up on the record!
True ! It s at least 6/7 clavinet parts played together. There s some video on Utube with much better arrangement than this one to try to get more close to the record…..
@philippezsiga1125 I just listened to it again yesterday this is Exactly what's in the folder. 1st Clav 2nd Clav 3rd Clav 4th Clav 5th Clav 6th Clav 7th Clav 8th Clav 9. Horns 10. Horns 11. Bass 12.

@@ghana1823 Hello! I hope you're doing well. If it's alright with you, could you please share the session with me? I'm a musician, I would love to dig deeper into this song! Also, as a keyboardist, I reallly want to figure what exactly is going on, so I can replicate it when playing live :)
It’s amazing how in the zone she is, so much so she can’t help move her whole body in rhythm with the music. Incredible talent. Love watching masters at work (but we all do; hence why we’re all watching).
I can't believe this video doesn't have more views! This song is so fireeee and she looks like she's having such a good time, legit reminds me of Chad Smith on drums just enjoying the music they're laying down
This song was way ahead of it's time in 1973 . Stevie recorded it in 16 tracks , 3 for the drums and it's mesmerizing ! This song epitomizes the genius of Stevie Wonder and what he can do to make a good song .
OMG!! This is SO good to listen to . . . GOOSEBUMPS all over!! When I was younger I could play my trumpet along with this. SO much fun . . . . Now I’m 71 and my first piano lesson is on Thursday and I have two goals: 1. to play Linus and Lucy 2. to play the Superstition piano part. I figure that if I can play those two then ‘most any other pop or jazz song would be easy ( sorta ;^) I hope my teacher can teach them to me . . . even if it takes the rest of my life!
Been doing this for years and happy to see I had it pretty close but you just cleaned it up a bit for me. Also, the comment about the actual session with 8 parts or whatever isn't what this is about, this is about doing it live. Stevie isn't about to hire a bunch of people for one song as part of a live show so yeah, this sounds about right for one keys player plus a guitar part.
Surely fun to dance to back in my day. Its excellence? I leave that determination to musicians way better than I. I just played the album till it smoothed out like plate, then bought another one!
One of my fav songs , he's a genius. Exactly it's a window in to his world . Absolutely brilliant. Great to watch you do the keyboard part , very interesting
I love the appreciation for unusual chords and progressions. That is what has drawn me to stuff like the Beach Boys (Pet Sounds), Beatles (Rubber Soul and pretty much everything after), Pink Floyd (entire catalog), and Supertramp (with its very jazz and classical influence). When I want to get lost in a sound those are my favorite Go-To's.
Wow, so much taste and funky playing 'in the pocket' from this Queen of the Keys! There is a whole year of education and entertainment in this one video alone! Thank you, Victoria Theodore and Pianote for making this!
Thanks for the tutorial and breaking down the parts. Now that I know what's actually being played, I was able to work it out and play both parts together. Way back in the late sixties when I was still in high school, I was in a warmup band on a show with Stevie at the Camden Convention Center in Camden, NJ. A great experience and memory.
Excellent, one of the best piano demonstrations regarding this music genre, with a super talented lady keyboard player. And s lady with a wonderful personality. All the very best to you, you are a great inspiration.
THIS IS GOLD! Thank you Victoria for something i've waited decades for. Truly from the horses mouth, because i know Stevie will have gone over this with you.
I took one lesson from this awesome musician. In moments she broke down all of my weaknesses most notably a lack of confidence. If I hadn’t moved away would have loved to take additional lessons!
You mean for this many years Ive been playing Superstition wrong… PreC - Bb9 B9b5? Bb9 A7b5? Ab9sus4 I just assumed he was taking the Bb9 up and down half steps!!! That man is a genius…. Thank you for the correction!!! I've even seen charts that are wrong...wow. I'm sending so much love to you. Thank you!!!
I wasn't there, but the story I heard was that Jeff was supposed to release it first, but for some reason his project got delayed, so Stevie released it.
Jeff was invited to play on Talking Book and Stevie would write a song for Jeff. During a break, Jeff was putzing around on a drumkit when Stevie walked in and told him to keep playing the beat. Stevie improvised the main phrase of this song and later recorded all his parts and ended up releasing the song first.
Here's a little history of the origin of this song. Back when Stevie Wonder was recording Talking Book in 1972, Jeff Beck was sitting in doing some electric guitar tracks for the album. During a lunch break when Stevie (and others) went off to get lunch, Jeff hung back at the studio. When Stevie returned Beck was sitting behind the drum kit goofing around with a drum rhythm. Wonder told him to keep playing and proceeded to play a melody to the rhythm. This would turn out to be the song Superstition. Stevie gave the song to Jeff as an appreciation for lending his guitar skills to the recording session. The record company knew it was going to be a hit and insisted Wonder record it first which he did and the rest is history. There were no hard feelings as Jeff would then go on and re-interrupt Stevie Wonder's song 'Cause We've Ended As Lovers' for his jazz fusion album Blow By Blow which became a signature song for him.
Love this! Best, most practical version I’ve seen, so many others overdo it by playing the upper clav part which Victoria told is is actually played live on guitar at about 2:03. So, just one question, I’ve signed up for Pianote but can’t find the sheet music?
I bought the Stevie Wonder Anthology songbook. It’s pretty accurate, but what I always think when looking at his songs, and chord progressions is that it’s obvious he’s blind. It’s like he chooses notes by feel and sound, not really of chord progressions. Especially with the chromatic movement, and the modulations he often uses in his songs. He’s truly a gifted genius.
So what are you saying exactly ? Because he's visually impaired , he doesn't know any music theory and wouldn't know what a 'chord progression' is and resorts to chromaticism and modulations because of it - presumably he doesn't know what modulation is though because he wont know what a key is & thinks chromaticism is something to do with colour .
@ is this your attempt at humor, or do you have a comprehension issue?
I like that we’re getting someone who played this with Stevie directly to teach us the chords. Sometimes the sheet music can be inaccurate.
Sometimes? The goal of people who get paid to create sheet music is not to create an accurate representation of the song. Their goal is to create something relatively inexperienced pianists can play that sounds pretty close to the original song without introducing complexity. And do it quickly so they get paid. They have to do this by ear, and not all sheet music writers have the same level of discernment when it comes to hearing the subtleties in recorded music in all styles.

Facts
@@SlowBloke123😊 That's a fact indeed!
Some people are just born music, Stevie is one of those.
Yes he is!

Great to see you out there sharing your skills/expertise and the genius Stevie has rubbed off on you.
Thank you! I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from the Maestro 🙏🏽☺
Thank You Victoria for your BEAUTIFUL breakdown of Superstition !!!!

Great Artists will continue to Breakdown Stevie’s Music for Decades, Perhaps Centuries…
For sure ! "Open Studio" and "Jazz duets" on YT (among others) have done a great job about Stevie's music.
Beau, ti and very full! Thanks so much...I enjoyed this so much with a smile on my face all through...I have been playing this song by ear all my life, nice to finally get to see what the real thing is...GOD Bless you!
Clavi and Stevie are synonymous. Nobody quite gets there, nor the 'thunk' on the keys on 'I Wish'. He's a treasure.
This Lady is amazing! She’s nailing it!
I love it, I would also love to have a video of just her hands while playing the full version!!
She has a real talent for teaching and she plays great can clearly sing. I understand she is also a dancer…amazing talent

Here's a little history of the origin of this song. Back when Stevie Wonder was recording
Talking Book in 1972, Jeff Beck was sitting in doing some electric guitar tracks for the album. During a lunch break when Stevie (and others) went off to get lunch, Jeff hung back at the studio. When Stevie returned Beck was sitting behind the drum kit goofing around with a drum rhythm. Wonder told him to keep playing and proceeded to play a melody to the rhythm. This would turn out to be the song Superstition. Stevie gave the song to Jeff as an appreciation for lending his guitar skills to the recording session.

Very nice breakdown Victoria thank you for this funky lady ! ❤ 🎶
Awesome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Stevie plays the riff with his left hand though, and the corresponding chords with the right. I have noticed this
I like this! Very much. Good job Victoria!
Nice 😊 definitely history making
lovely song, fantastic clavinet groove
Love this! Best, most practical version I’ve seen, so many others overdo it by playing the upper clav part which Victoria told is is actually played live on guitar at about 2:03. So, just one question, I’ve signed up for Pianote but can’t find the sheet music?
perfect!!
I love it.😀Good stuff...
