@Fox 狐 Yes Nile usually bars the whole chord but plucks maybe 2-3 strings at a time. The rest is percussive, muted. He talks about this technique in a master class in Paris. You’ll find it on TH-cam.
Co wrote and played rhythm on Let's Dance and here he is over 30 years later still relevant and and playing for an audience that weren't even born when he collaborated with Bowie. A true pioneer and legend.
these chords have been played so many million times in a million ways but still this song is like it's coming out of nowhere and sounds out of this world. Why? geez I don't know This is magic of Niles as good as ever
Funny thing is that you might be a supersonic shredder playing hundreds of notes in a single bar but still you won't achieve that charm, groove and beat that Neil Rodgers has with very basic four chords. He is so incredible.
@@Sauzeisawesome meh i guess so, thing is so many modern guitarists go for speed shredding and it became kinda soulless and bland. rhythm and groove is what made guitar in rock and roll so mesmerizing.
Something I'm sure guitar players can relate to: When first joining my latest band, I got the usual list of songs in their repertoire to learn. It had the usual Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Billie Idol, Prince chestnuts along with newer top 40 stuff. When I started working on Get Lucky I thought "Great! an easy four chord song" until I really tried to learn it...........Long story short, far and away the most difficult song on the list.
As a rock/metalhead guitarist I'm 100% with you on this. Listened to this song once and thought. "OK, no difficult solos. Should be easy". Oh boy I was wrong. Still today I sound like a robot playing it, close to this guy...
Doing cover bands myself, I never found this one to be overly taxing. I just do the first four 3note groups as triplets, then add something on that one beat where you can do whatever you want before going into the triplets again. I still think that stuff like Skynyrd or, you said it, Van Halen is much harder to reproduce on stage - not least of all you need much more stuff to reproduce a close tone than just a Strat into a Fender amp like with Nile, be it gear-wise or be it skill-wise. That said, the ones I'm having most trouble getting to 100% with are the shuffled unplugged 'Layla' and the fast run ( you know which one I'm talking about! ) of Sweet Child O' Mine. Still, I can feel where you're coming from, covering Nile is never easy and literally no one can claim to have done it perfectly, he's just that good at funk. Just get close and be happy is what I'm saying to myself to not get mad at never reaching his particular groove...we also do some 90s HipHop medleys with things like Mo' Money, Mo' Problems and he is sampled everywhere ( the song is basically I'm Coming Out on repeat ), so just get as close as you can, keep that right hand moving and realize you can never be as good as him - and you're gucci. Cover band audiences won't care as long as you make them dance with a Nile song, which works every time. But not because of you - it's the bass and the drums interlocking that are the real stars of this whole Nile Rodgers show, the actual guitar funk work is just clutter ( in my mind! ). And I'm pretty sure Nile himself would agree with that assessment.
I grew up loving Nile Rogers' style, with huge collaborations with Diana Ross, Chic, Sister Sledge to name a few. His music transcends the races and age groups. Just pure brilliance.
I spent the vast majority of my formative years learning to shred and play solos. Took me years to recognize that it's all about the groove, the song, the rhythm. Solos for the most part don't even exist these days, but even in their heyday they were a small portion of the song. Nile is an absolute master of the groove, the vibe, the rhythm and the feel. His playing Makes you want to dance! It just feels incredible...I could listen to him play all day and never get bored even he was basically on repeat. Legend.
I have nothing but total respect for this man. He produced so many hits for so many artists. And on top of that, in that Get Lucky music video, he looks so freaking cool playing his transparent Stratocaster.
I see genius like this in two ways. One- Absolute perfection to the ears. Two- He makes it look so easy, it's very frustrating to an aspiring guitarist
Ah this is pure awesomeness. Nile Rogers is just the essence of cool bottled. D’Addario, I’m already a loyalist but now more so after seeing this. What I love most - they didn’t even mention strings in this whole video.
This Legendary Guitarist right here inspired me to play Guitar. If he didn't exist i wouldn't have a single talent hidden inside me. (still learning tho...... i mastered 7 major chords now im mastering 7 minor chords :) Edit: learning some basic songs now..... tryin to learn get lucky but i need to be little faster on my strumming and transfering
I just learned more about playing this song correctly (getting that scratching sound) in 2:41 than in a week of trying it on my own. Nile says you gotta use thin picks for scratching and I use mediums, so I got me a pack of thins, and he's right. Eric Blackmon has an excellent set of tutorials on this channel, and he specializes in funk, soul and the blues. I recommend him for lessons if you're intermediate in skill level.
No se hablar fluidamente ingles y apenas escribirlo pero entendí muchísimo de esa canción y de su parte en la misma con nada mas ver y escuchar esto. Lo guardo para cuando me compre otra strato. Empecé a necesitar tocar ese riff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar, can't wait to try that counter melody but when you combine them, DANG I how I can get to that level someday!
It's actually genius how he layered 2 recordings. I can barely hear the second part in the official music, but it literally adds so much more without you being aware of it. When I listened to Get Lucky's guitar I always thought there had to be something more complex to it because the rythm was so unique. I'm happy to know I was right.
This is 1% of his real power.
It's really .5%
76%
It seems so easy when he plays it
It's actually not.
😍💐😍💐💐😍💐😍💐😍💐😍💐💐😍💐😍💐😍💐💐😍💐😍💐😍
This is literally the only video where I can learn how to play this song CORRECTLY, all these other tutorials don't help at all 😂
Eric Blackmon has a pretty good tutorial on it
very agree with you, the others tutorials add to the chords some notes..
😂. From the source here. Nile Rodgers.
@Peter Martins
You do what you have to do.

A true pioneer and legend.
And Steve Ray Vaughan played the end solo on lets dance
He also worked on Halo's sound track
these chords have been played so many million times in a million ways but still this song is like it's coming out of nowhere and sounds out of this world. Why? geez I don't know This is magic of Niles as good as ever
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💯💯🥂🥂🥂

shut up
That's because shredders don't aim for groove and beat. Speed is their main goal, so I think to each their own.
@@Texturas75 Speed is for low self-esteem, groove is for love for the music.
@@materialistadialectico4884 wrong, however someone wants to play music is for the love of music, dont be an asshole.
@@Sauzeisawesome meh i guess so, thing is so many modern guitarists go for speed shredding and it became kinda soulless and bland. rhythm and groove is what made guitar in rock and roll so mesmerizing.
easily one of the most skilled and smartest guitarists the world has ever seen
Trueeeeee
Yesss
Nah
Get a Job kid
@@philipgranath8746 yes*
Nile Rodgers & Daft Punk fusion perfect excelente👌👌👏👏👏
Those who found this are lucky
Luckily for me, this randomly appeared in my recommended
Guess I'm lucky then.
guess we got lucky
I guess we got lucky
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No matter how many times you hear it.... it's ALWAYS beautiful and honestly I can hear it on repeat for hours.
This is one of those songs that could go on forever and you never have enough

Totalmente de acuerdo.
Yeah, i always try to relax my hand as much as possible when i play Get Lucky yet i can't sound anything near like Nile.
Your love is magical🌑💝You are doing great!💖

"Nile Rodgers Sound" .... brilliant
Your love is magical🌑💝❤
This is the most funky thing I've ever heard
I can listen to him all day
Incredible sound, beautiful strat, incredible guitarist.
A masterpiece! Most of the times, we often forget that simplicity is the key.

Listening to the way Nile composes is amazing.
THIS HURTS SO BAD.
This song introduced me to daft punk.
i had a pirated copy of guitar hero ps2 (if it's gh2 or gh3 i don't remember) somehow this song was in it, it's groovy i enjoyed playing it
better late than never
That 16th note rhythm is life
You’re amazing!❤️
This man..straight up musical Icon. But with no ego. Pure artist. He should be in the hall of fame and he don't give a ****. Respect to this legend. ✊
You could actually see Nile trying not to jive to the funk
Nile Rogers is just the man! Dude this guy.. killer
I have nothing but total respect for this man. He produced so many hits for so many artists. And on top of that, in that Get Lucky music video, he looks so freaking cool playing his transparent Stratocaster.
bro i love this especially since daft punk is my favorite song ily nile rodgers
Thanks Nile, thanks Daft Punk ♥️
I enjoy watching people display their God given talent, he’s marvellous
Big ups Sir Nile Rogers
This is SUCH a GOOD WAY to do a video like this. Really, really beautiful job, D'Addario and Co. Nile really shines here.
We've been listening to this masterpiece for seven years
Mr. Rodgers is simply amazing!
Nile Rodgers is a master, thanks for all your music!
I see genius like this in two ways. One- Absolute perfection to the ears. Two- He makes it look so easy, it's very frustrating to an aspiring guitarist
I like how easy and simple he explains and makes it look easy.
A beautiful person for sharing his insight and breaking it down for us.
SINGLE COIL SOUNDS SO GOOD
Definitivamente, Mr. Rodgers es un genio que hace ver fácil lo difícil: tener ese groove y ese toque preciso
Exacto
Nile Rodgers is my favorite!!! And a great influence for my guitar playing style
They asked for something magical
And damn they got it right cuz 'Get Lucky' feels so magical and out of this world...💖
GENIUS!!!
amazing. great job, legend.
Dudes one of the most awesome musicians of the last 60 years.
What a masterclass.
Legend!

The best guitarist❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Genius legend! 🙌
Love😍 that funky/groovy riff & melody🎶
"We take the basic harmony... And then i come up with a part"
I wish they did an insight on Lose yourself to dance. I could watch him play that riff all day long. And hear the story behind it
He played in rock in rio a few years ago and it was awesome
I love this man!
Funk is just dripping everywhere.
Same riff demonstrated in many ways. Complete mastery of his craft. What a guy!
This song is soo legendary..
this is the tone!!!!!!
simply amazing...
He had just shredded the shredders.... mind blowing
Truly amazing 😍
Bro thats incredible im not lying
No se hablar fluidamente ingles y apenas escribirlo pero entendí muchísimo de esa canción y de su parte en la misma con nada mas ver y escuchar esto. Lo guardo para cuando me compre otra strato. Empecé a necesitar tocar ese riff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best song that have ever played❤
A true legend, I love the way he plays
Your love is magical🌑💝❤
amazing video!!!
so satisfying when he plays
I saw him live with chic about a week ago and MAN, that was one of the best shows I've ever witnessed.
Realmente Impresionante la forma en la que toca Nile Rodgers ✨🎸 las cuerdas de la Guitarra es simplemente magnífico
나일옹 만나러 가기 1시간 전 !!!!
A legend at work.
This is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar, can't wait to try that counter melody but when you combine them, DANG I how I can get to that level someday!
Your love is magical🌑💝
Man is a god with his guitar, holy shit.
Your love is magical🌑💝❤
What a great man I wish I could meet him 👍👍👍👍👍👍
There'll be no MADONNA if not for the genius of this man
What a masterpiece , legend.
Your love is magical🌑💝
GRoOve Magician
He is a master in music is not always necessary the shred
What a legend. Does anyone know to which two chords he quickly switches right after the E major? I can't seem to figure it out.
Starts with Bm7 -->D --> F#m7 --> E, put the video on 50% playback and you'll see what he is doing, Cheers!
@@freecomstarter when he plays it fast after the 4th chord he plays another chord do you know what that is?
You are doing great!💖
i'm seen that after the daft punk separation
1:00 I love this
It's actually genius how he layered 2 recordings. I can barely hear the second part in the official music, but it literally adds so much more without you being aware of it.
When I listened to Get Lucky's guitar I always thought there had to be something more complex to it because the rythm was so unique. I'm happy to know I was right.
Pure legend
that strat tone is beautiful
Unbelievable and amazing, fucking love it.
Genius.
Insanely talented!
The 2-chord-disco-guy himself! 🤩
MASTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
from another planet he is not from here great thanks you are the best.
Looooove! This!
That got an instant like
That started to breathe when he got it cooking!!
