How to Play "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder on Guitar 

When I was able to play the introduction, I cried. Thank you

I've watched a lot of how to videos on RU-vid and I gotta say I really appreciate the way you explain the chords and everything. Good job! Thanks!

These aren't jazz chords Nicki sweetie. They are pop chords. Everyone must learn these basic changes before they can learn 9th's 11s and 13s. Plus sharp and flat 5s, 9s, 6s, 11s and polychords then altered. I've been teaching guitar and piano 45 years. I believe in being realistic so I don't sugarcoat anything. Music is simple! There are 12 notes. If you can count to 13 you got it! You are an excellent guitar instructor. Quite lucid and easy to understand. The most important thing in teaching beginners is to instill in them a feeling of confidence and courage and inspiration. Music is spiritual energy. It can heal disease fix broken hearts and lead us to God; to peace on Earth. It can also be a negative evil poison. Stevie Wonder and David Sancious are two of the best to be inspired by. Train your ears folks, then you will be able to play anything just by hearing it Yes!! You will!! Buy an old turntable and vinal record albums. We might have to hand crank our record players again some day.

First verse played in context 7:46-8:24 Helps to hear it through before starting the lesson. Eb add 9, Cm7, Fm7, Bb7 / Eb add 9, Cm7, F (a in bass) , G(b in bass) / C, G (b in bass), C, G (b in bass) / Cm7, F7, Bb7

I've watched a whole bunch of videos about this song. This is the best.

My guitar is tuned to Eb instead of E, and these chords voice well in that tuning. Thank you !

Thank you soooo much!! your a really good teacher, cant wait to play this beautiful song.

You are a natural teacher! I enjoy your tutorial. Any more Stevie Wonder songs?

There was a play-along video for this once, but I can't find it anymore. Where is it? :D Great lesson btw.

Pretty and Smart teacher. The way you explain the harmony is amazing. Thanks from Central América. Great job.

Thanks to you now I can play it and sing it the way it has to be 🤗💙💙

Thanks, your the only person who really teach this song, great job.

This is not an easy song to play. Great job. Thank you

wow thank you - i learnt this on the ukulele and thought id learn it on the guitar too - this is soo easy to follow xx thank you xxx

Very cool! Everyone knows tevie's a genius but until you actually try tp play his stuff you really have no idea just how much of a genius he really is!

Thank you very much for what you did with such clarity. Surely this video will be very helpful to lots of people! Greetings from Sicily ^_^

Nikki I love you. And thanks for breakin' it down for us.

Thank you very much N.

Awesome! Thanks!

Obrigado Very god

Thanks,you are awesome

Thanks so much, most helpful. I also see a great example of the purpose of an engagement ring!!!

this is good one... but u can put there much more chords to make it sounds better...but i really love what u doin for people...keep it up :)

I bought TWA about two years ago ...I put the four magnet stand inside...and then placed the tonewood amp on the back with blue tape...it does not stick on mine like yours ....so it falls off during performance and it has all this blue tape on the back of my guitar( its a visual mess!).....do I need a different stand inside the guitar...things just seem out-of-balance......

Thank u so much :-)

Where has your video tutorial for “my Cherie amour” gone has it been taken down

What is the plucking pattern for the verse?

good Job thank you :)

thank you so much :)

Good teacher a lot of patience

you put your first finger on the third fret of the a string and then you put your third finger on the fifth fret of the d string and put your second finger on the fourth fret of the g string and your fourth finger on the fifth fret of the b string and then you have a c major seven cord.....(blablabla bla blabla)................. this is sooooo frustrating to watch and takes ages. it would also have been nice to put a playthrough of the whole arrangement at the beginning

The mistake I see is you started teaching without playing what you are asking us to play with you. It would've been better if you played it first. Other than that you are a good guitar teacher....Thanks

Thx you . ;) GBu

The bass version is better also imagine using a pick lol

tring to nfind your video isnt she lovely canny find it?

The buzzing was super distracting

Seven seven seven...

Could you please spell out your email address. I certainly would like to learn more songs/chords from you. You are an excellent teacher! It takes a teacher to recognize a teacher! Lol😀

Perda de tempo

I was hearing shit instead of shape lol

Tablature works wonders in guitar tutorials. Just saying. 🙄

Stevie : “lets make a song that make people slam their guitar!”

No good. Why take too long

Why everybody give lessons for stupids, explaining every finger fret and string? You should let all of us use our ears to be a better musician
