- Beyond Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks' solo efforts produced many memorable hits, but none quite so synth-tastic as "Stand Back." No surprise there, since Nicks has often referenced her inspiration for the orchestrations were inspired by the synth soundscape of Prince's "Little Red Corvette." Today, we're giving this Nicks knockout the #SynthSounds treatment as William Kurk runs us through techniques that can help emulate the 1983 hit.

Ok a bit of trivia, Stevie has mentioned the detail in interviews that Prince played that bass line with his two fingers, meaning he didn't use the arp he literally hammered the keys with the fingers on both hands and played those 16th notes live just like you briefly demonstrated! And to be honest you can definitely feel the difference.
Ha I’ve been doing it live without the arp authenticity eh
After Stevie called Prince, he actually came over and talked with her about it that same night and helped her fill the song out. He also has partial credit for the song.
I've been watching these videos and I don't even play synthesizers. Fascinating stuff and the host has charisma.
This guy's awesome. Way to rock the Members Only jacket
Spot on Prince impression. Thought he was actually in the room for a second. ;)
sounded like the Dave Chapelle Prince
Game.....Blouses....
Who wants some pancakes?
One more request: Kate Bush "Running Up that Hill"
If we only could, we'd make a deal with God... 🙌

That's a great track! Make a video for that one, too!
Yessss!!!! Another great Timeless song!
@@Reverb Which was supposed to be the actual title of the song.
Yes!!!
Why doesn't this guy have a million subscribers? His knowledge and the talent are amazing.
Man that keyboard part! It,s monday morning and here I am, covered in goosebumps
RIP Prince. You were truly a great, GREAT musician
Every time I passed a synth keyboard back in the 80's I played Stand Back! You nailed the sound perfectly! Enjoyed this vid a lot! Thank you!
The 80s had the best sounds
I still do! Love that riff. And Jump also.
this is my fav thing on youtube
Can't believe I've been a fan of both this song and Prince since the song came out but never put two and two together and realized the connection.
Love this guy.
Sean getting his synth on? Do you own a synth? If you do.. please do some synth things!
The Members Only jacket is a very nice compliment to this awesome vid. Great job!
blown away. Amazing. I like good and GREAT music, but cant read music, cant write music, cant play music, but fascinated about these tunes and how well you explain it. Thank you. I shall be checking out more of your videos over the weekend. Thank you.
William Kurk, I know this was done a long time ago. I just wanted to say that even old gems are often helpful to those of us who come along later. Thank you for mentioning the original synths used for these sounds, and thank you even more than that for showing us how to do the same thing on a different synth. We're not all gonna have an Oberheim, and not everybody has (or has and doesn't want to use) the emulated sounds in the Arturia plugins.
This dude has such an awesome way of describing synth sounds. I love it.
This is fantastic! Love learning how these classic tunes were crafted. Super well done...
So simple yet beautiful. Music like this made the 80's the best decade for music.
Wish Prince was around to watch this video. I would love to see some artist reactions to these videos.
Head nodding! One of my favorite Stevie Nicks songs!!! Thank you!!😊👍Now add the bridge, and lyrics, and I'm gone!! I really get into my classic 80's music! Emotionally speaking!
You made my day!!!!!! Thank you!!!
Best "inside" info on synth tones.
For a few minutes I was taken back to the 80s when I was young. Thanks Dude.
Prince's primary drum machine was the Linn LM 1. I'm sure they used the DMX for this, but he cherished the Linn so much that even today there is a shrine of it at Paisley Park
Another great episode! How could anyone not love this guy? Hilarious AND informative. That’s always a good combo.
Love it! You have a great ear for matching up the sounds from back in the day. Kudos also for the Members Only fashion - reminds me of some of the cool cats back in the 80's. Keep up the great work!
Love this vid - great breakdowns and explanations. Some sub-tle and some not, all very helpful. Thanks William, you da man!
I’m loving this series.
Such a uplifting chord riff. So cool.
This is my new favorite series. Have always loved keyboards and especially the sweet, sweet sound of a synth.
I'd be interested in an analysis of The Human League's "Don't You Want Me".
Or the theme to the movie Drive, "Nightcall" by Kavinsky.
William, this is fabulous. Great presentation, great lesson!
you are so awesome love your work! :) this is exactly what I've been missing on TH-cam
That was really neat! I've always wondered how that stuff works. Thanks for sharing!
Such great videos you make. This is the 2nd I’ve found from you, after watching your take on Toto Africa that I needed to learn. You got it goin on man. Thank you for the great videos. So well done. Informative. Fun. Excellent learning
So easy to play!! Very intelligent of Prince on composition! Wow!!!
Her voice is amazing
Such an epic track
Future possibilities: She Blinded Me With Science, Waiting for a Girl Like You, Save A Prayer, Industrial Disease
Stand back! William Kirk coming through with another sick breakdown!!
Please do "Drive" by the cars!!!
great choice!
And for a bonus, include "I'm In Touch With Your World," which I'm pretty sure was just messing with the presets on an early Casio drum set.
Yea! That'd be nice!
Yes! This!
Or Hello Again
Love this video - great instrumentation and technique overview! Oh, and the members only jacket has GOT to help!
love this series. keep it up!
Pat Benatar - "Love is a battlefield"....Spandau Ballet - "Gold"....A Flock of Seagulls - "I Ran"....Fiction Factory - "Feels Like Heaven"...Blondie - "Heart Of Glass"...Eurythmics - "Love Is A Stranger"...Laura Branigan - "Self Control".........wooo! so many classics.
Do Raf/Laura Branigan - Self control. Also love all the stuff you do Kirk
That would be sweet!
Sounds great! Love this song.
William...you are the man... where were you when I was playing in bands in the 80s and 90s and had to figure this out by ear!! Love these videos. Very helpful. Thanks!
I would go see a William Kurk movie. These are great. Keep up the great work!
I love these videos
You had me at those puns. It was sublime.
Yeah another good one! Thanks again Mr. Kurk :-)
fantastic! 🖤
You gave me chills....💕
This series inspires me so much man
Prince, *hangs up.* "All right, ch'all, who gave Stevie Nicks my damn phone number?"
Prince was plenty famous by the time 1999 came along. He also got co-credit on the song so it worked out for him money wise. He then went back to the studio and wrote 10 more songs.
1999 was released in Oct of 1982. The Wild Heart album came out in 1983. Stevie said she got the idea for the song from hearing Little Red Corvette on the radio. So what you said was not true. Also because an artist does not crossoever does not mean the masses ( white people) do not know them or that they are not succesful. Prince opened for the Rolling Stones and was on American Bandstand. "I Wanna Be Your Lover" was on the pop charts.
I know what your issues are as well.
They were notoriously good friends. Prince has said that he looked up to Stevie, as he grew up being influenced by Fleetwood Mac among other things growing up in the Midwest.
He apparently asked her to write the lyrics for Purple Rain, but the she declined because she was supposedly intimidated Purple Rain was recorded the same summer Stand Back came out in 1983.
Omg I LOVED THIS , subbed:)
THANK YOU for this video!!!
I love this guy. Produce more content with him.
What a glorious time for pop music
Please never stop making synth videos by William Kirk!
This is awesome! Our CEO has rant and raved about this channel!
This was great! Thank you
Lovely job👍
I really appreciate the arpeggiator tweak, I didn't know you could do that
Great video and cool shirt man!
...and the Members Only jacket to keep it legit!
Dude is awesome. Reminds me a little bit of Venus Flytrap from WKRP in Cincinnati... my favorite character on TV... ever.
Awesome !
love this!
LOL at the Skynet reference to the drum machine acting up!
that shirt is incredible
Logan S Shirt? You can't wear that jacket unless you're a member!
Logan S - I agree that the shirt is incredible.
The bracelet of teeth was my favorite.
Very nice! Interesting!
Great video.
You are amazing.
That Members Only jacket rules
You are putty good Mr. Reverb, Love the 80's jacket too! Lol. 👍..
Hey "Do Jam On It" from Nucleos!..
I love these
This is awesome
Dude!!!!!!!..... you're bleepin awesome! Color me subscribed!!! Love all music, but 80's kid at heart. I had such a crush on Stevie when I was young and heard Stand Back today. There's a big Fleetwood Mac revival (I know she was solo here) happening right now which brought me to your page. Great stuff!
Great t-shirt, Admiral!
I sometimes make that sound even if I'm not looking for other cats
jacotolkien pretty sure you can hear someone on the camera crew suppress laughter during his cat analogy 😂
@6:37 ' this is the beginning of Skynet, right here' :D brilliant!
Love the Prince references!
That was great
Thank you ver y much!
Thank you!
Very cool video! I had no idea that was Prince on that track.
great demo
Behind the Music, literally. I already knew the story of the song but to see how the song was technically created is very cool.
Great stuff
love this series!
Also panda/astronaut riding a shark!!!
That sound is on point. As Stevie herself might say, “I will not turn, away my friend”
Keep up the good work.
“Sub-tle”....:) ....Great video man, thanks.
everything in its right place!!
The Admiral does it again.
Perfect!
