- Stevie Wonder’s song “Superstition” has one of the best grooves ever recorded, and today I’m going to show you that it’s SO good, Stevie is the universal groove donor. You can put this drum groove on ANYTHING and instantly make it better. And when I say anything, I mean ANYTHING.

never forget that paul simon thanked stevie wonder for not releasing an album so that someone else had a chance to win a grammy. wonder BUILT DIFFERENT
Yep! And then he came out the next year with Songs in the Key of Life and all the artists were like “oh no, not again!” 😂
Just wanna say man I found this channel a couple weeks ago and I’m pretty addicted. You have a fire ass format and I love that you can actually play instruments to demonstrate and emphasize what you’re talking about. You’ve also put me onto a couple phenomenal artists and I can’t thank you enough for that. Keep blessing people with your knowledge and music. You’re a badass my friend
Thank you so much 🙏 Glad to have you here
@@diggingthegreats very good channel definitely one I look forward to !
Nothing beats informative and fun! It's like the music class I never had at school.
That james brown mashup at the end really tied the room together man.
Listen man, this channel is a hidden gem 💎 I really appreciate the time you put into gathering this information and the time you put into packaging it with so much quality. You deserve all your flowers 💐
I found Superstition and was shocked when I researched that it was made in the 1970s. I was like, "WHAT?"
Dude, you are just so entertaining with a shit-load of knowledge thrown in, not to mention groovy as f*** on four strings. Brilliantly researched and executed. 💜🙏🏽
the best artist of all time period. btw your great man i appreciate you.
Yeah, that James Brown/Stevie mashup was 🔥🔥🔥 Love this channel - keep it up!
Found this channel maybe 3 weeks ago and I haven’t left since I’m here for ALL the content. So much so I’ve created playlists with Soulquarian and other types of music I’ve heard before but now I’m growing to appreciate it
Glad to have you here!
Thank you again for my weekly groove lecture. It's always fun, always well researched, always masterfully made, and I will always check these out and share for as long as you keep making them.
🙏 Thank you so much!
Dude i found your channel 2 hours ago and I've just been binging since. I truly appreciate your hard work, thank you.
🙏🙏🙏
He doesn't have enough haha! I want to binge more but watched almost all of them already
Man!!!! You are too much mixing all that stuff together like that. Genuis comes to mind. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The tangents are the secret sauce that make this channel so addictive😂 keep it up, great stuff!
Man you rocked those bass pieces. This channel makes me want to pick up my bass or guitars whenever I watch a video, but I also appreciate the incredible knowledge you have and the research you do. Amazing.
Great Vid! Sly Stone was also using the harspichord on his 71 album There's a Riot Goin on, which I think added a lot to it's completely distinct sound. I bet you could make a good video on its use of the drum machine and combination with live rhythms and sampling.
*his song "As" is one of the best songs ever made*
Your musical lexicon is phenomenal!!!!! Thank you sir!
I've been watching your videos for months and didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. Fixed that right quick. Did you go to music school or are you self taught? Either way, you're awesome. Your groove grid is an excellent breakdown on the pocket that anyone can understand and the other ways you talk about music is easily digestible
He played the drums on this? Wow im convinced stevie can see. I met him once at a restaurant in Cleveland. I asked him if we could take a picture together and he said of course. He then asked me if we were standing in front of a bar . I was like uhh yeah. So he then said "lets move so the bar isnt in the background. I was blown away...
You should've let that Bach/Stevie remix keep going!😂 I had a feeling it was gonna get crunchy and funky but in a good way!🤣
Jeez you're a diversely talented dude...these breakdowns are always good but youve out done yourself with this
Okay but PLEASE send me a link to a file of that Stevie/James mashup. That ish is FONKY AS HELL.
Interesting blood analogy. This song featured in John carpenter's the thing, where they are storing blood in a cabinet.
Once again...another AMAZING video 🔥. Thanks, Brother!!!
One of my favourite uses of Superstition is on Amerigo Gazaway's Common Wonder album from his SoulMates project. The whole series is fantastic, but that one in particular is a stand-out.
Yes sir. Thank you for mentioning that. That A Common Wonder mashup by Amerigo Gazaway is one of the best mashups of all times.
Another winner! Man, I remember, as a child, seeing Stevie perform this on Sesame Street. Blew. My. Mind.
Okay dude, you need to make some blend tapes!! Mixing Stevie with JB was amazing!!
The next video should be about Peter Steele. What a plot twist would that be, huh.
Dude, keep it up this is so much fun to watch and learn stuff.
But Steveland Morris indeed did do this on "Look Around"- Stevie Wonder's Where Im Coming From Album. PURE GENIUS 🥰
LOVE !T
@diggingthegreatest , you are an outstanding human being !
excellent video and musical intelligence of the highest order, you have managed to break down the very essence of music making - history - tech and basic music theory for the common man to understand, love your work man, keep on educating us ..👌
Man I absolutely love this channel
What a masterpiece of a channel you have my friend.
Really enjoyed your analysis of this song from a musician's perspective.
Best music channel ever alert
Yours are the only videos i ever care to put a like on TH-cam 👏
Im feeling your channel. Glad I came across it
You’ve outdone yourself with this one.
Love your analysis and match-ups, bro!
🙏🙏
I just stumbled upon your channel! The production quality of your videos is top notch, i love everything about your vids man
Also, if I recall, Jeff Beck wasn't really a drummer, but he just messed around in the studio, and Stevie heard him, then insisted he played it.
Great video!
Awesome
Wow…
I just did something about a week ago in Ableton Live where I extracted this groove and used it on one of my own written drum patterns
The results were insanely musical and impressive
It’s great to see you stumbled across this also🤘🏻
Type O Negative is also an AWESOME band...hee hee...
However, yes indeed, I adore the research you put into your series!!!
Once again I gotta say I love this channel! Wish ya could make new shit on the daily. Weird; just had to put my blood type on a form this morn ANDddd idk what it is! That’s crazy u bring that up
The only video you ever made where I'm literally yelling at the screen like no you just need to line that harpsichord joint up & that would've been fire son. Ahhh
Also Stevie Wonder is a genius
Loved you mixing Stevie and James Brown
OMG that last mash was Crazy bro 🤯
Great video! I like your style and the hard work you put into this. Subbed!
Amazing video! Love everything about your channel.
This is so fascinating. Excellent work man
🙏
You are fantastic.. thank you from Italy
Much love from the US 🙏
Do a video on Tuesday Heartbreak from the same album as Superstition. Please. It's the best song of all time.
Yes! Stevie's music is a balm for the soul. One of my "break glass in case of No Good Very Bad Terrible Day" albums is Signed, Sealed, Delivered. 😊 Do you think you might ever do a video along the lines of "one chord to explain The Roots" about some of the harmonies and theory in his work? There have been so many phases to his career but a constant throughline has been songs in the key of... joy? Would love to hear your take on it, if you were ever inclined.
Type O+ is the universal donor, O- is the universal recipient. Your bass playing is cool!
I hear other DJ’s try to brag how “you’re not a real DJ if…” try to keep up with this guy!
you're easily one of the best on TH-cam.
Love your videos! This one is just awesome.
Thank you so much 🙏
Throwing that groove on cuff it made me wanna hear an official funk remix
@ 10:34 are you kidding me?!?!? ⚡️⚡️🔥🔥 unbelievable!!!
🙏🙏 too much fun with this one
Groove Transfusions - sounds like a good album title!
Come on how do upload so fast?! I can't keep up
wake up babe new DTG dropped
This is an awesome VIDEO!!
I thought James Brown before you mentioned him..I'm 55 and grew up hearing them both in the 1970's.
Hey Folks. Quick reminder that Jeff Beck wrote this groove. And gave it to Stevie!
Stevie Wonder episode?? My man
Mmmm you've identified the essence of the remix :c) And, you're right... the feel is good and sometimes you can sort of force it in there. While it mostly fits it's not always quite right. It really depends on the song.
ok imma steal the drums now
Greatest content on TH-cam
Cuff It over Superstition was fire. Might even like it better.
Hahahaha the bass groove for Cuff It is fuckin sick, put a big smile on my face.
James Brown was noted as saying he was the Father of Hip Hop. I think there is some truth to that because so many rappers sampled his drums and songs.
Awesome metaphor! I love these breakdowns. Do you, by any chance, have some literature you could point to that shaped your underlying theory of how music is created?
Ok if we’re talking hi-hats…
Hi-hat is the loudest thing in my in-ear mix (other than me).
What’s in your in-ear mix?
Has anyone done Superstition with the Purdy Shuffle backing it up? I'm just thinking of other awesome groove drummers...
Bro I need a full song of the mashup with Lionel Richie all night long and superstition also the James brown joint
Nah dude you need to release that whole beyonce song with your bass and the drums as a whole song. Deadly serious
Naw Stevie is my favorite musician but i just learned a lot about Blood types with this video😂
You are good
How do you get your bass tone!? So good!
Hey man. Can you do anything involving Holy Ghost by the Bar Kays?
The heavy breakdowns....
I just lost my studio. I'd love to hear u riff on this track
Holy!!
I NEED THAT JAMES MEETS STEVIE REMIX
JUST SAYING
man i nearly collapsed when you played james brown under superstition 🥵🥵
To be honest if you punched up Bach's Prelude in E flat minor you probably have a hell of a cool song there. The main issue with the mix you did is the harpsichord is just a little to diminished a tonal quality. Transpose the midi onto another onto a synth with a wider sound and I think there is something solid there.
I found the universal scale, for R&B, I forgot what you all call it. I call it the triple whammy upside down unicorn scale.
Stevie is the GOAT, end of discussion.
💯💯
Stevie Wonder used the horn section from James Brown when ever he needed that funk.
First to be here. Another classic episode. This time I want a new episode on Lionel Richie all night long song just kidding 😂.
That Beyoncé remix was AWESOME
Just stumbled onto your channel. I don’t “like” many videos, and I subscribe to even less. Thank you
Would “Pass the Peas,” mashup with Superstition also???
🔥
I'm a universal donar in real life, in both music and actual blood
Only just watched Summer of Soul
So incredible!
I still have so many Stevie songs to hear🤯
So Stevie is like my blood? Makes sense
Dat Brown//Wonder 🥵😭
👏👏👏👏
this shiit dopeeeee
