Sir Duke Guitar Tutorial Including Main Riff by Stevie Wonder

[@albertdeascentis450]

Michael Sembello was the guitarist on Sir Duke, he was a classmate of mine . He was the best guitarist in school no doubt in my mind. He studied under Chuck Anderson in Ardmore, Pa.

What about the chorus? It's not there..

[@SimonCroftGuitarist]

killer player!

[@twilli187tw]

Thanks a lot 5 stars! You did an awesome job a breaking this lick down so I could understand 💯🎸💪🏾

[@aidanspiers2614]

Yeh, this song was frustrating me, but I got it quickly using this video! Thanks a lot!!

[@SpankTheGargoyle]

Glad to hear!!

[@corazonbeso]

Thank you so much for this! Straight and to the point. This is the very first guitar riff im learning. I know my chords really well but I don't know my scales. This is forcing me to get my pentatonic scales under my belt. Thank you!

[@gratefuldev23]

Beautifully done! I never imagined I could get this down in one afternoon, but thanks to your video and the minor blues scale I did it!

[@christophercorgan630]

Great tutorial! Doesn't waste any time getting to the point!

[@SpankTheGargoyle]

Thanks buddy

[@user-ec6xd2ig4c]

That's awesome... Perfect... Spot on dude! I am trying to perfect that using a Roland GR 20 Guitar Synth. The trumpet sounds on the GR 20 sounds almost the same as the original sound on the recording. I just can't play it as spot on as you do but thanks for your tutorial i am getting there. 😆

[@p5gBand]

thank you very much. Very well explained. Great job sir.

[@rrrripbing]

Nice job. Clearly explained and demonstrated.

[@SpankTheGargoyle]

Thanks

[@DrTWG]

Riff is in B maj pentatonic I think (relative minor is G#).

[@chloelavender3620]

Thank you so much.
I'm not a bad guitarist, but I am teachable, and this is very helpful.

[@SpankTheGargoyle]

No problem :)

[@Clay_hmmm]

8:58 for the riff slowly

[@KorbenDenver]

You're the KING!

[@klausantitheistbolvig8372]

Anyway. I don’t know yet if it’s more easy the way your are playing it. But ( I just want to see how others approach this great songs) I just listen but often I play all parts and as on the record I tend to stay in the same key. Like this. 🇩🇰👍🏼🎸

[@vicstrap1075]

great way to teach...easy to get and you explain all notes.
if you get time will you do Chaka Khan - Sweet Thing.
Appreciated

[@SpankTheGargoyle]

Thanks Vic

[@LucaChiriatti]

when you play the chords E9 D#9 D9....ecc ecc ...the last chord of the progression is wrong (isn't a G9 but a F#9!)

[@FORCEGOD]

Thanks

[@Mark09ish1]

[@OdaKa]

THANK YOU

[@SpankTheGargoyle]

No probs

[@DoktorAgan17]

The G and F# chords (riff) arent quite like in the original. They should be in a higher register I think.

[@OdaKa]

Dragobert M Yeah, they should be G9 and F#9 farther up the neck

[@larsandrehansen6141]

is this song in "b"?

[@SpankTheGargoyle]

Yes buddy

[@humantheartist]

are the chorus chords the same as the verse and do they play the same way?

[@ideasonek3374]

No. They have different chords
