marino Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Great! nice, he has that keyboard very high... It's because the Clavinet is placed over another keyboard, presumably a Rhodes. Here's another, much more recent version, where he's playing at a more human height, on a Kurz PC88, and his playing is clearly displayed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBBShydiqrA A large group with three keyboardists and two drummers!

Marillo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I thought he took the riff entirely in the RH, with the left maybe on octaves...interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like an alternate take from the original session. Quite a different clav part. You notice Stevie's recurring falsetto scream? It's prerecorded. Is the bass on the oringal recording synth bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember that on the recording. I kind of like it, but it seems a little out of place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamer Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Speaking of the bass, I think that -as it always happens- has a fundamental role in laying the groove of the song.

No, this was over a year later (1973) than the original Talking Book sessions and was part of a documentary showing how Stevie works in the studio. And yes, that bass is done by a Moog.

Thanks, I forgot about that. Reminds me of my unanswered question: How the heck did Stevie do those slides? There's one at 1:18, another at 2:15, and a big one at 3:30. Here's what I wrote from the earlier topic: "Still curious how he did those occational big slides. It's not portamento, and the thing is in Eb, so I don't understand how he did it. A buddy of mine suggested maybe he tuned the synth up or down a half step. What do you think?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 unanswered question: How the heck did Stevie do those slides? "It's not portamento. What do you think?" I think the glide parameter which is portamento was tweaked on the Minimoog bass patch. Stevie manipulated it in how he played the notes. Easy to do with a monophonic sound.

Floyd Tatum Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Stevie's playing on that bass line is freakin' amazing! Listen to those little nuances and details. I guess that's not very musically descriptive (sorry DH), but, d'ya know what I'm sayin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yep. Lotsa wheel action--both pitch and vibrato. And yeah the little grace note nuances and unexpected fill riffs. And what a sound! Sounds like minimoog--sawtooths on osc 1 and 2, both on 32', tuned zero-beat. Ironic that such a phat sound comes from tight unison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
