One of the few pianists on this planet who actually knows how to teach Stevie Wonder tunes and plays them all like a BOSS! Another awesome video, Peter! Thank you.

Incredible insights. I wonder how you came up with the chords/pentatonics in the boxes. For example for the Bmaj7, is the rule that the pentatonic for a maj7 chord built on the flat 7 scale degree is always built off the third degree of that chord? Is the pentatonic for the 4maj7 chord always built off the 1chord? Why is the box chord for Ab13b9 built off the 6th degree when the box chord for B7alt is built from the flat7 degree?
At around 27.58, when the chord is B7#11, and you say G-nat. doesn't sound good? The G# sounds better. That's because the parent diatonic scale for you pentatonic is F# melodic minor. It's the whole-tone portion of the melodic minor. I prefer the pentatonic F#-G#-A-C#-F(E#)
Awesome! Thanks! I don't understand the Fo in the last bar though. To me, choosing an F chord is the right choice, yes, since it feels as an Ab7 with a F chord on top. (or Dminor7; there's also a D feel in it) But then it's a F7b9, not an Fo. (Fo would mean F, Ab & B having to be in the chord/scale; but it's F#, A, C, so it's actually a F#o instead)
I had a blind musician friend back in the 80s that Stevie Wonder would give him his old electronics and so on.. at least 8' foot to 6 feet tall shelving... If I could remember his name ... I've not met Stevie in person ... I am in So. Oregon
Perfect BUT - why confuse us with 1 3 4 5 7 as min pent? When 1 b3 4 5 b7 is actual min pent. I know that's how Classically trained musos do it when the context is minor - but it' just creates confusion.
Fantastic, I love everything thing about it. Beautifully thought and easy to digest!! That’s the art of a Great teacher. Stevie is Mt. Rushmore then there’s others No dis to the Other Gifted Legends. But there’s Only 1 Stevie like there is as Only 1 Prince. Pls keep up the deep dive lesson there Gold!!

Thank you so much !
You made such a useful video about some Stevie Wonders songs, we all appreciate it !🙏🏻

The G# sounds better.
That's because the parent diatonic scale for you pentatonic is F# melodic minor. It's the whole-tone portion of the melodic minor. I prefer the pentatonic F#-G#-A-C#-F(E#)
Awesome! Thanks!

They’ve built an amazing international audience- right from my hometown of St. Louis - with the music that I love. Can’t beat this.
Yes ! Just clicked on this video, and i already know that it will be awesome before seeing it ! Peter explaining and playing Stevie Wonder= Top !

F/Ab makes a flat 9 chord right? Not a #11
Nope, sharp 9.
F Triad with an Ab bass makes an incomplete Ab 13b9 chord. Period.
