How to play Superstition by Stevie Wonder on guitar

[loverman25]

What is the Effect you have on it? Is it an "auto wah" ...and what r the settings?

[jazzermonk]

@loverman25 dod envelope filter

don't remember the settings ... but if you get the box, the settings are easy to figure out.

[icemanmmx]

Tabs please Bro

[TK14847]

cool bro



[bandicootboy123]

wah wah!

[Mellow0grl]

is this jazz? lol

[grogmer]

Eggcellent. Between your approach and another video I got what I was looking for. Very good sound. Great looking guitar.

[Ukuleleric]

Did you mean E minor?

[Drblooter99]

Good, but how about the snazzy melodic run up between the A and B7#9 at the end of the chorus? Can you throw that out to us?

[ovneb]

Hey, I really like your tone. What kinda amp you using?

[jazzermonk]

@ovneb this is actually just a fender bullet practice amp. any amp with the name fender on it is going to be quality IMO

[ovneb]

@jazzermonk Nice, never would have thought. I guess it's the player that makes the tone ;)

[jechegar]

@ovneb could you please please send me a BASIC tab,,, i will love it if you can do that for me PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEE

[thedeem0N]

Stevie Ray Vaughan Beat you to this

[jazzermonk]

@thedeem0N seeing as how i was prolly 1 year old when he did it ... you're right. Music isn't a race though and a lot of musicians "do" this song. This is just my humble interpretation of a classic STEVIE WONDER tune.

[Jayjay7856]

@thedeem0N what a dumb comment...

[lenis6]

what chords do u play ?

[jazzermonk]

on the chorus??  if so it's Bmaj/ Cmaj#11/ Bmaj/ Bbmaj#11/ A maj/ -> B7#9

[k0k1n34]

Wah-Wah?

[jazzermonk]

close ... an envelope filter ... it "wahs" depending on how hard you hit the strings

[JohnLennon987]

im guessing you like jimmy page?

[jazzermonk]

yep .. but Joe Walsh more

[Zepster77]

@jazzermonk I'm with you there..... that James Gang stuff..... still looking to find the time to digest your "Cast Your Fate" lesson. can't wait till I do.... I also dig "Tend My Garden" and "Take a Look Around". Thanks again and catch some waves for me, since we don't have any over here.... peace out from Zepster in Zwolle, NL.

[ShoeO3]

zomg thats an awesome effect!

[hobbyrocker0308]

Very well done! What effect are you using on the guitar?

[jazzermonk]

dod envelope filter

[wallsacc]

are those chords right? i was hearing them as just plain 7th chords

[jazzermonk]

talkin about the chorus? ... if you are ...then maybe the guitar player is just playing 7th chords... but i'm interpreting the WHOLE harmony of the tune ... the saxophones play that "weird harmony" ... and i just incorporated that into the guitar part

[Warddd6]

Awsome man :)

[yousmelllikefries]

Bro that was sick, and you seem like a huge stoner.

[jazzermonk]

how can you tell? ... lol

[frostbite19941994]

i really like the tone you have here. it sounds sweet!

[jazzermonk]

thanks... the amp is just a '97 Fender Bullet ... those mini pickups make a difference ... tone is in the hands mainly : ) ... equipment comes second.

[GuitarRaiser]

is the wah pedal pre sounded or are you moving it?

[jazzermonk]

it's an envelope filter ... DOD envelope filter ... green stomp box. soooo "pre sounded"

[Firefoxpeep]

hi i am finding this really confusing to learn i have watched it over and over but i am still stuck are you barring the 7th fret with ure index finger on E A D B? while strumming?

[jazzermonk]

what do you meand by E A D B? the string names or the notes on the fretboard? My index finger barres only 2 strings at a time (harmony in 4ths) on the 7th fret on the D and G strings ... if you notice i only "push" down the strings when i want to hear the notes. All those "2 string chords" are 4th in the E minor pentatonic scale (notes: E G A B D)

[Firefoxpeep]

ah great that helps a lot thanks other than that it was an excelently played

[blueteeth59]

man i think this may be the best sounding one i found great job my friend!

[jazzermonk]

thanks!

[cattheohterwhitemeat]

Nise thanx mang
