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!?

New subscriber for sure. Well done.
I find it on the apple music.Awesome playing and nice voice.👍🤘
People don’t really understand how Talented this guy is , This is extremely difficult to play and extremely creative
Awesome vocals too.
i understand ive been playing guitar 20 years he just need more volume on his acoustic in my oponion this can be resolved by putting the mic closer to the sound hole or get 2 mics
Holy fuck!!!!!
Guitarists understand..😎
Yeah it's not easy to play. It's a complete feel song. Gotta have great rhythm to play it. This isn't how SRV plays it though, not at all.
Best guitar player I’ve ever seen
If anyone deserves to be famous it’s this guy. Not hard to tell he put the work in
@@nobutur disagree fully, not only that but he has his own music.
@@nobutur somebody never heard of MFGG
you are one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. I cant get enough of all of your covers dude. Absolutely stunning work dude.
You’re so right
THIS RHYTHM MAN...
Agreed. Top go to TH-cam.
So true
I agree...; have never seen such talent in guitar an Corey also sing too much...! thanks from Brazil...👏👏🌹
You’re absolutely INSANE before the vocals start, and then I just about shit my pants when you started singing… Good lord man 🤯
that solo was UNREAL
OMG man you are a monster 😃 I'm so glad i found you on youtube.
Same here mate.
Same same
Same here Heah !! a monster or maybe an alien !!! 😃
Mee too. Its fucking cool Styl.
Fabio you are no small fry yourself. You both are monsters! Im subbed to both haha
Wow.. i’m speechless.
Among everything this guy is good at, I think what really sets him apart is his ability to stay right on time during those ripping solos. Many people can't even stay on time with a whole band but he's just by himself. Killer cover as always!
It's easier to stay on time playing by yourself but you are right.
@@Aseyona don't see your shit on here, so how you know it's easier to keep time. ???????
@@Aseyona Spot on sir as ANY experienced musician will confirm. 🙋♂️ keep spreading the love.

Because the same issue we face alone as musicians with tempo is only exacerbated with multiple musicians; each person has to keep tempo with one another, and any variance can sway the flow of the entire song. 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.
The solo 😯....amazing
I truly mean this.... this is my favorite version of this song.. ever. Above both Stevies and everyone else. Omgooossshhhh
So hard to strum, play lead and keep rhythm singing at the same time. Proper, well done 👏
Not hard for Corey! His just has that Natural Gift!
The aim of creation is achieved .... ;-)
How does this not have 5000000 views with 2.5 million subscribers? This world has no taste!
I cant stop playing this on repeat 😭😭😭 hits right in the feelies.
For anyone new: Corey is one of the best acoustic guitarists I’ve ever seen. For years he has absolutely shocked me. 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.
I have a bad habit of searching out covers to songs I love. Of all the covers of this song I have heard, they are all just making noise by comparison. You killed it man👍
Me too. Cover interpretations to me are much more interesting than originals. I am always looking and this was an amazing find.
This is what using (FRONT, BACK, LEFT, And RIGHT) Sides of the brain AT THE SAME TIME Looks like.. WOW....
Piece of art
Your'e easily one of the most talented human beings of all time.
Incredible. In the original - the main groove is accomplished using 2 keyboards. He's doing it here with just 6 strings.
That solo was smooth as hell
This is just incredible. The guitar riffs alone are outstanding, but then you somehow figured out how to sing in stride (and extremely well). If I had a full lifetime to practice guitar, this would be my goal. Bravo, Corey.
That solo was so dirty I had to take a shower, good stuff man the whole thing was flawless
I left my jaw on the ground. That was seriously sick. I thought after seeing Satriani, Vai, SRV and other major guitarists I couldn't be impressed anymore. I was wrong. Unreal guitar and vocal skills. This guy deserves a big stage.
Corey you're gonna blow up in a while dude, keep strumming and doing your thing!
Love from India
Brother, I know it is an "old" video (for nowadays standards), I also know the number of followers/subscribers have nothing to do with quality, but, I can't understand why an ultra talented musician as you are, have less than 200k subscribers. Just hope the money goes by the views, cause you deserve.
Thank you for the content!
Best regards from Brazil!
your a god among men wtf is that playing, bro i love you
This is so criminally underrated!
I have to compliment the videographer for his skillful editing of Corey’s 2.5 extra hands. You can hear them but damned if you can see them.
Good one!
The real difficulty is having the discipline to study each part, and have the commitment to execute it precisely. Congrats to my bro
Incredible talent on display here. It takes an enormous amount of discipline, practice and dedication to get to this level of proficiency. Just awesome.
Wow bro. I love this TH-cam outlet is amazing, and o could so see this cover professionally recorded and popped on Spotify. It would be epic AF. Keep going bro, amazing 🙏❤️
This is hands down the best acoustic version of the song on TH-cam.
On a livestream too - so essentially first take?! Mind-blowing.
Totally awesome.
Well shit. Imma just going to quit playing guitar and singing... The world is not big enough for this guy. Sheezus dude you killed this.
Love it man love the energy this guy puts into the music that he plays on that guitar that gets you pumped up ready to jam thanks man Big Time see you in the circle my friend thanks again
Came for a guitar/vocal cover, subbed for a fantastic musician and vocalist!
Excellent Video, Impressive.
WHAT just happened,!??!!! That was UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Wow what a Saturday Morning find! Sitting at my table cruising through youtube covers and SLAM! Nice job. PS came in on Snow and kept hitting the next button,
This is a different level of musical intelligence we are witnessing here guys.
Oooh man that was groovy!
The way that he silences the notes keeping the strong attack, the rythm, and also singing along the way is breathtaking. Very difficult to do on acoustic. The gauge of the strings poses a problem to do that
That's so perfect.. OMG 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Out-f***ing-standing !
Man this man channels funk….. I’ve been playing that for years but he takes it to another level.
Bruh this man got all skills turned up to 11.
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!
A Genius is born!
Incredible and unbelievable as always. Whenever I feel lazy and not in the mood to play guitar I check your videos to get inspired. You're playing a huge role in helping me to practice daily.
Thank you dude 🤘🤘🤘
Wow, thanks!
I love how your first video was already mind blowing. Then you re do it 11 years later and totally Blow your own self outa the water with another performance. Please never stop making music
The magic starting at around 2:32...MY GOD! I listen to this about 10 times a day.
ridculously good
This gentleman is sincerely about it. Bravo sir 👏🏿
this is just phenomenal ! your name should be on the pantheon of all great guitarists!
Bravo, Bravissimo! Go Ahead Man from Italy! 👊😎
makes me look down on my own guitar prowess 🎸👍👍
The best cover of Superstition I've ever heard. I don't mean just the best solo acoustic version. I mean THE BEST VERSION EVER !!!!
Phenomenal, totally agreed.... This Dude is Killer, Vocally & Instrumentally
When the first riff hit me on the brain it blow off
You are beyond this universe brother!
Be proud of that dude that was awesome
heavenly good man .love this song
Woah! You just inspired me to sell my guitar
🤣🤣🤣 I must have the wrong strings.
My guitar packed it's bags and moved out.
I burned mine!!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 😭😭😭 me too!
Corey - I was listening to your version of this that’s 11 year old a few weeks ago. I also commented suggesting you should do a new version with your new sound gear!! Even if it wasn’t to do with my comment, I am gonna take the credit!! 😂
I was literally just listening to your old tune on YT and I looked underneath and seen you did new version, 4 hours ago!
As much as I love the old version, I am gonna enjoy this for a while and dare I say it’s even better. 👍🏻
Started smiling as soon as you started singing. You’re incredibly talented. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Amazing, it's people like yourself who make me pick up my guitar everyday. I would more than happy to have a quarter of your talent. Outstanding Corey, You have a great future ahead of you 👏👏👏
so brilliant
I bow down before you
Great to have you back!
Rough and clean at the same time 🤟👌👌
Even talent is impressed by this man !
I'm gonna have to learn this. So, I set my TH-cam player to 0.5 speed to slow it down and try to understand this arrangement. Got through about the first 30 seconds. There is a ton of subtle dead notes, mutes, and.. kind of...momentary "ghost" chords just in the intro. Really makes me appreciate Corey's technical skill.
That lick at 1:15 is .....difficult to nail.
That bend on the chord at 3:00. Not easy.
This is magical! ❤❤❤
Most impressive thing I've seen on TH-cam in a long while.
Thanks so much this is awesome. 🙏
Amazing as usual!! 🔥🔥🔥
OMG!!!! This is insanely good!!!!
I've been listening to this song the whole past week, nice to see a great cover of a great song!
Oh boy! I can't breathe.... What a technic and rithmic! I didn't ever seen like this before 👌👍🏆
In general I hate it when people just show off for the hell of it... and I LOVE it when people just can´t help themselves by demonstrating their true talent, just like Corey is doing here. so freaking cool!!
Thanks for inspiring me to have a crack at this song13 years ago with your first version. Couldn't match you then - certainly can't match you now! I wish you lots of success with STARBIRD, but for me it's you with just your acoustic guitar that I love. Fantastic work!
You are so talented! Love it
Simply awesome !
Dude is just way too inspirational
Man that groove! Usually I am all about the intricate fingerpicking but this just rocks man.
can't stop watching this, awesome!
Absolutely incredible Corey
Best versions... ❤️ This one and the one 10 years ago 😁
This is magic!
Love it!
Absolutely amazing!
What an awesome cover, Corey!
wow. thank you for playing this. its so good.
Excellent!!!! Well done!!
So glad the algorithm send me here! Keep going dude! You deserve 9.6 Mln subscribers
Holy fudge boy! You know it!!! Awesome!!!
Just stumbled upon this. What great musicality. Absolutely brilliant.
One of the most wonderful videos on TH-cam. It is astonishingly good.
