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.

To me the best musician of all time

@coughingbabie Год назад

glad someone feels the same!!

@mrs6968 Год назад

Class act talent from debut throughout his whole career and still going

@T_R_O_Y_McClure Год назад

Agreed. There are a good handful of people that you could label as musical geniuses, but Stevie stands alone on top of all of them. He is like if you had a multi oscar winning blind cinematographer. There is no one who was clearly more put on this earth to make music than him.

@maxvanopdorp9108 Год назад

Definitely one of THE !!!

@propoetpr Год назад

Hard to argue with that

@concept8407 Год назад

That james brown stevie mashup is insane 🔥🔥🔥

@IanMRadcliffe Год назад

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

@richardpayton9671 Год назад

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!” 😂

@manchild2729 Год назад

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

@diggingthegreats Год назад

Thank you so much 🙏 Glad to have you here

@hanktheblesseddeejay Год назад

@@diggingthegreats very good channel definitely one I look forward to !

@fasttrackblastback8286 Год назад

Nothing beats informative and fun! It's like the music class I never had at school.

@Loveismyteacher 7 месяцев назад

3:25 felt that “git it Stevie!” 😂 I love your passion for music! Thank you for sharing it with us ❤

@yetispaghetti5754 Год назад

I love how each video theres a new metaphor that requires a “hear me out”. Yet every time it makes a bunch of sense and explains it perfectly

@diggingthegreats Год назад

A good summary of the channel - now wait, hear me out!

@michaelmcelligott5074 Год назад

When I was studying music recording tech in uni, my professor gave us the master tracks from Superstitious to play around with. I was really impressed with how many layers of clavinet were in them...it's one of those tracks that doesn't sound incredibly complex when you listen to it and is very easy to groove to, but when you actually break it down you realize there are a TON of moving parts that make it what it is. Amazing song.

@diggingthegreats Год назад

YES! That's why it doesn't sound the same if you try to play it live. So many layers. And similar to the harpsichord where "louder" = "more notes" - the layers of clavinet fill up the whole thing

@thewaldfe9763 Год назад

Yes, and actually the clavinet, since it is so percussive, is also kind of a percussion instrument on this track. I think, at least half of the groove is coming from the layered clavinets rather than from (also great, but relatively straight) drums.

@thewaldfe9763 Год назад

Might be interesting to make a clavinet loop with the same rhythms as played by Stevie but adopt it to the appropriate keys before layering it over... Bach?

@sub-jec-tiv 2 месяца назад

The African influence in funk, interlocking layers of rhythm. The genius of human soul. 🔥

@miketube7996 Год назад

That james brown mashup at the end really tied the room together man.

@Tanzi24 Год назад

Stevie Wonder is a stone cold genius! As well as his amazing drumming, the multiple clav parts are what gives 'Superstition' its incredible groove, and what makes it so hard to cover well.

@reubenlee6438 Год назад

Greatest songwriter of all time! The melodies, the chord progressions, the change ups, the lyrics, the instrumentation, the rythyms and constant inventions are unmatched.

@richardpayton9671 7 месяцев назад

💯 x 💯!!

@ByDobson Год назад

Put it this way, you can make an easy argument for Stevie Wonder being the greatest artist of all time. Funny timing, my original vinyl press of Talking Book arrived today!

@diggingthegreats Год назад

PERFECT Timing 🔥

@christianokami2220 Год назад

Hats off on the Stevie and James Brown mashup! With the Bach Mashup, I believe you may have mine different sections of that prelude to compliment the chord changes in the Superstion pre-Chorus to chorus section (it’s possible)!

@diggingthegreats Год назад

Yeah the Bach piece goes all kinds of other places 😂

@waterofvitamins Год назад

Criminally underrated channel. Love how you brought some history into things with Bach. Would love to see a video with parallels of classical to modern music!

@racerx1189 Год назад

Stevie's been seen as a genius ever since he was a kid. Look it up. 😊

@shortie9103 Год назад

The nuances in the music are incredible. I wish you'd do your top 10 producers list

@manniking233 Год назад

I found Superstition and was shocked when I researched that it was made in the 1970s. I was like, "WHAT?"

@ByDobson Год назад

Another incredible watch! Those 'Groove Transfusions' were amazing. Your channel is just basically a dissection of my favourite artists/albums/tracks each week...

@diggingthegreats Год назад

@mukaiba1 Год назад

Yeah, that James Brown/Stevie mashup was 🔥🔥🔥 Love this channel - keep it up!

@hmohngcheelee7549 Год назад

The fact you manage your inception your way into other references of your previous videos is gold.

@BigWinner76 Год назад

You’ve absolutely nailed the sweet spot of musical education/ history/ entertainment/ accessibility. I have devoured your videos since finding your channel. Love watching you play along to the mash ups.

@elbibwen3019 Год назад

*his song "As" is one of the best songs ever made*

@richardpayton9671 Год назад

Again, love your channel! Have you seen the breakdown of Stevie’s clav parts? For decades I thought he was just playing a whole bunch of notes with both hands. Turns out he laid down like 5 parts, each with a different rhythm and notes. But when blended together, no clutter and it all makes sense! His brain simply operates on a different frequency. His chord selections and progressions sometimes just blow my mind away. In fact, have you done a breakdown of “Overjoyed”? Chords go all over the place and still make sense!

@apexone5502 Год назад

I got a book that breaks down Stevie's playing and it was pointed out how a lot of musicians sees his music as somewhat difficult to play due to it being somewhat unorthodox. I can see that because there aren't many who can recreate that Stevie vibe, even with remaking his songs.

@EmceeLamaj Год назад

Fam, thank you for your GREAT digging. You touch on my favorite greats, my biggest musical influences, all while bringing inspiration to my craft. I'm sure it did the same for many others. Keep doing dope things.

@sonofabeach71 Год назад

Great song. Funky Drummer, Apache, and many other breakbeats work also on the mashups

@jacklightyear5869 Год назад

Literally I saw the title of the video and I was like “It’s Supersition isn’t it?” And I am not disappointed

@jfish5120 Год назад

The jeff beck version is actually sick. The drums in that one, played by Carmine appice, have a much heavier feel and a crash on the “and” of 1 that offsets the feel but makes so much sense

@Drinks4450 Год назад

Man!!!! You are too much mixing all that stuff together like that. Genuis comes to mind. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

@Takusanmizu77 Год назад

Absolute legend. I wept when I finally got to see him live at one of his toys for tots shows in LA. 😂

@Shades-of-76 Год назад

Wow, i love all your DTG shows but you’ve knocked out the park with this one. Thanks. Talking Book/Superstition is outstanding of course but Innervisions/Living for the City is the ultimate Stevie record for me. Mind blowing, I still get goosebumps every time I hear it 💚

@tedevelopmentltd Год назад

As a bass playing soul and funk DJ from the UK it’s clear how much I love and learn from your videos. I might dear to venture Bernie was ripping it up on the clav before Stevie but I’m sure you’re saving that for you 20 episode deep dive into the impact P-Funk had on, well just about everything after. Keep up the brilliant work. From a big fan across the pond (or tracks, you take your pick my friend)

@justingarrett2239 Год назад

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!🤣

@GgWifi-ot2sh 11 месяцев назад

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...

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.

@Enta_Da_Sage 8 месяцев назад

Yes sir. Thank you for mentioning that. That A Common Wonder mashup by Amerigo Gazaway is one of the best mashups of all times.

@DistantLights Год назад

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.

@slmcmorris7902 Год назад

Great video. Your bass tone is killin, btw

@playdave3476 Год назад

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Excellent presentation!! I feel like I really learned something new! BTW, in case anyone was interested, the main difference between a clavichord and a piano is the strings are plucked on a clavichord, while the strings are struck on a piano (hence, the hammers inside the piano). Quick question - do you happen to have a video of the equipment that you're using? (Sorry, my first time watching you).

I always thought it was overkill when I watch stevie wonder live performance videos and there's a ton of musicians on stage but all of his songs have a lot of layers. If he's making music in daws now I'd hate to be the producer 😂

@nilkilnilkil Год назад

Interesting blood analogy. This song featured in John carpenter's the thing, where they are storing blood in a cabinet.

@deestunner3 Год назад

Okay but PLEASE send me a link to a file of that Stevie/James mashup. That ish is FONKY AS HELL.

@acalmerkarma Год назад

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

@IDontLikePplPlayinOnMyPhone Год назад

The next video should be about Peter Steele. What a plot twist would that be, huh.

@jimmypad5501 2 месяца назад

Your blood type analogy for the groove is more on point when you think about the relationship between rhythm, timing, and heartbeat/heartrate. Groove literally is in the blood! Also: that funky Cuff it Up needs to be the way Bey performs that song live, that shit is 🔥🔥🔥 And Bach is also super 🔥🔥🔥 with this funk track, reminds me of Wynton Marsalis doing Bach jazz. And just fyi not to be a dick but it’s pronounced “Clah-vee-er” in case you ever are around some of the Bach heads 😂

At 10:34, what... did... you... just.. do?! What did you do? I mean... wha... how?! That was the funkiest version of my favorite song to test a Karoke system when I go out to sing Karoke that I ever heard. The 12th greatest song of all time just created the greatest funky remix of all time in your hands. Sir, you cannot do that again... you cannot, I forbid it (by that I mean, don't stop and do that again, you awesome musician you)! I need to know how you found that mix. That was amazing! And, and, and, this video explanation of the universal groove was off the hook. Just insanely awesom.

As soon as you mentioned another type o- sound I knew exactly where you were going. A few years ago on here somebody posted a mashup of Superstition with You Can Have Watergate Just Gimme Some Bucks And I’ll Be Straight by Fred Wesley & The JB’s and they played it over the video of Stevie’s live version of Superstition on Sesame Street and it was like Stevie and James were in the studio at the same time. It was absolutely perfect.
