"Sir Duke" Stevie Wonder

[Dimebagdanno]

26 dislikes?.. They must be drummers

[cupajojo]

Nice! Great bass too!

[falcon4272]

It's sad that there in no apreciation for the bass now and days.. Music now isn't what it use to be.. Im only 26 and Iistening to the music back then , just makes you feel different.

[lordgmixxes]

nice u go with the boot

[Diggity6470]

sounds pretty tight man! I wish i could find a bassist like you! ha

[BrandonLibman2008]

@TheSammylly Cort B5 dudeeeee!

[h35t4r]

very good dude... nice runs

[j3ft4]

give me only one single reason to put this on youtube..

[joshmoonmuso24]

well i think it's great.. difficult song to play. nice one mate :)

[ChickengoesBOK]

it's not about the instrument , it's about the musican playaing the instrument and i give you major prop

[raicho20]

@JOHANESUN LOL! Idiot. DO you know what the song would be without the bass, or as a matter of fact without almost ANY of the instruments? You obviouslly aren't a musician!

[mynamesdan]

great work

[Makulu]

@JOHANESUN

you must be some dumbass guitar hero player. any musician knows an instrument isn't shit.

[ConeyIslandWarrior79]

great job dude! i love this song!

[rocksk8r]

awesome! but i think its lackin on feelings. but still an awesome cover tho.

[pushingdasiesfan]

wow... nice. could ya teach me? =)

[kenjoi]

id suggest you learn how to use that pinky more often, its a useful tool.

[daveryan8]

I'd suggest you close you eyes,listen and forget the pinky...nice chops Ice,play it like he wrote it...great job!!

[1Legendsrule]

[alexfunkii34]

VIVE LES MONTREALAIS LO L:d

[ithastobefunnyII]

good stuff, i thoroughly enjoyed it

[wcfdave]

where did you get the tab for this song?

[televasion]

youre good, be smoother!

[btiger75]

I quite enjoyed that. However, in the last minute of Sir Duke, the bassist makes a bit of finger play, a few new notes are added. It would be great if you mastered those. Good work!

[cigel7]

fucking yeah .. nice work ;)

[uz4ever]

good job!

the bass is a "cort artisan b5" right?

[Razze5]

niice ^^ what kind of bas is it? :)

[mafguitars]

i have to play this next week

Thanks for your help !

[Floridaboy7777]

That bass sure has taken a beating

[fattnod]

that's great ! you really have talent, keep it going :)

[poshnosh16]

[Godschild342]

[jintoft]

Superb!!!

[kralle7611]

many kudos. awesome.

[redholmar]

bravo

[twitchy2009]

this kid's pretty good.... he's probably in a band and if hes not he should

[ZiljianK]

thats cool its fun to see players who can actually play unlike those kids who all they do is read the frikin tabs all the time

[doppleganger03]

How do you that Icephoenix isn´t reading tabs?

[ZiljianK]

ya i guess

[BrandonLibman2008]

i learnt this by a teacher not tabs, now im starting by ear finally :P

[SkilledKeyboardist]

True musicians rather play by ear. Its actually easier.

[Gettinghitonattheban]

I read tabs sometimes. Usually not found online, but tabs none the less. I can still improvise over a chord chart, and read regular notation. What's your point?

[primus1121]

theres nothing wrond with tablature so why bag on it?

[Ramirou78]

:s

You should watch DavidSinRocks bass cover of this song...

[infamouskilla21]

nice job bro keep it up

[Kavinskie]

You playing so relax Excillent song on the bass :P

[screamokill]

i'm getting that bass in blond soon :P sweeeet.

[Quake110]

Good job man! Right on the money!

[stuntman3495]

keep up the good work man,you've got lots of talent.

[StinemorxD]

You'r good. The timing is perfect.

I'm just 13, but I love this type music. Is not so...? fake?

[ashsoadfan]

I'm 13 As well And I love 70, 80, music. I've liked Stevie since I was around 4, ;D

[Illegal190]

Fantastic. Well done. your bass section is very accurate to the actual tune and you have good timing also.

[iluvbeatles96]

[soccer20freak]

[abvdkjnbnb]

1:06 is the best riff or groove (i dont know what you call it) in the wholle world

[samtrix832]

good job!

[ticklemebad]

damn good job!

[YourBFFJiII]

what kind of bass is that?

[BrandonLibman2008]

that is a Cort Artisan B5

[PrecisionBass2008]

dude you could have plugged it directly to your computers sound card

ps: get the real bass ... not this dead sounding korean crap ... inferior woods , pickups and electronics....it will never match anything else out there over $1200-1500+ retail.

[BrandonLibman2008]

that is the real bass...that bass cost me about 1500...

[gtyler7292]

For a cort artisan B5? Wow you really overpaid lol. They're still a good bass, but only worth about $700

[BrandonLibman2008]

yeah i realised after i said that i made a mistake, it cost me about 900 total with tax and gear bag and everything but still its not a shitty bass

[jonannlou]

Sexy fingers..very nice!!

[MikeLibman]

hey guys im letting you know Brandon has a new account if you want to see his newer videos. BrandonLibman2008.

[coledeluxe]

I have an old piano/vocals chord book from 1976 with all the Stevie Wonder songs from the Songs In The Key of Life if you want me to send you the basic chord progression or other information... if you guys don't want to learn by ear...

[KMJDproductions]

Hi coledeluxe, does that book you have have guitar chords and/or horn parts in it for "Sir duke"?

[coledeluxe]

The book depicts guitar tab., but for the horn parts, you would have to derive and transpose from the piano part.

[J5Fanatic]

wow...great job!!!! beautiful bass too!

[JuicyStringsz]

Do u go by tab or ear?

if you go by tab can you link me or sometin.

I spent 1 week learnin a crap tab for this. lol

[Icephoenix2007]

I usually go by tab, my bass teacher taught me this one though so I don't have the tab, but I can tab it out for you and get it to you within the next week if you'd like.

[JuicyStringsz]

Thatd be mad if you could dude.

Cheers.

[KillerKowz88]

awesome

[cyberlight22]

so how did you get hte music from

[Icephoenix2007]

im not sure what you mean but it's Sir Duke playing from my computer right in front of me originally from the album "Song's in the key of Life"

[crapsk8r]

super dooper i added it to my favourites

you feel the funk when ya playin

[ttsmoke]

nice

[norms005]

great job...and pretty sweet bass

[torific]

i am trying to learn this right now!!

it is really good

[Icephoenix2007]

haha have fun with it! it's a great tune!

[ZxdeathxZ]

your good man.. keep it up... as a fellow bassist you rock dude.. and i see your ibanez or warwick they look similar to me..

[Icephoenix2007]

it's a Cort B5 :P

[sharp1972]

teach me damb it! lol!

[mookie2637]

This is really tough to figure out by ear. I'm having a tougher job of it than I had with Teen Town fifteen years ago....

[FrisbeeG]

That's great man. One of my favorte songs of all time. I saw Stevie in concert for the first time last week. Amazing. Your right hand plucking fingers are as smooth as Stevie's bassist's - his looked liked they barely moved.

"I Want You Back" by J5 and Barney Miller Theme must be a piece of cake for you !

[FrisbeeG]

Yes me too - the Montreal show. I was really glad I saw it.

[fatlordwicet]

All hail Sir Duke

[mikenspike]

That's my brother... he's only 15 lol and this is when he was kinda just learning to play. You should hear him now:P

[moorhold]

Good groove. I like it.

[gab1234]

Greeeeeat!!!

[JCG90]

[yogi357]

[doton2006]

Eres de verdad un anormal mano. Espero tocar asi algun dia.

[Icephoenix2007]

what does Eres de verdad un anormal mano. Espero tocar asi algun dia. mean? sorry I'm Canadian and im 14 so i just started my spanish courses...thanks for the comment though :)

[doton2006]

its an expresion of coolness its like "You are very abnormal, I want to play like that some day".

[Icephoenix2007]

oh alright, thanks, you'll get there don't worry :)

[zelada03]

Great Job with those scales! am Suscibing! by chance do you know I Wish by Stevie Also?

[Icephoenix2007]

[JazzySaxE]

[DianeMain]

VERY nicely done. I was looking for something else, found this, and was impressed with your mastery of what is a VERY hard song for bass.

[Icephoenix2007]

[vgarambone]

Cool.

[breakayoface]
