Superstition - Stevie Wonder (acoustic cover)

STARBIRD -- my latest album of original music:

I uploaded a version of this classic song with a basic video camera over 10 years ago and pretty much since that time you guys have been bugging me to upload it again with better quality audio / video. Here's one I captured recently on a livestream, I hope you enjoy!

"Superstition" was originally released in 1972 on Stevie's 15th(!) studio album Talking Book. It was a huge song back then and it still gets played all the time on radio, film etc. as well as being an obvious standard for musicians of all types. Truly, one of the greatest songs ever.

FUNFACT: Jeff Beck helped inspire the song by laying down the drum groove while Stevie sorted out the parts on the clavinet... Jeff Beck! On drums!?

People don’t really understand how Talented this guy is , This is extremely difficult to play and extremely creative

[jmc]

I truly mean this.... this is my favorite version of this song.. ever. Above both Stevies and everyone else. Omgooossshhhh

[spicey]

If anyone deserves to be famous it’s this guy. Not hard to tell he put the work in

[jmc]

I cant stop playing this on repeat 😭😭😭 hits right in the feelies.

[nerdwithaphonepodcastonyou]

How does this not have views with 2.5 million subscribers? This world has no taste!

[devinperry]

Among everything this guy is good at, I think what really sets him apart is his ability to stay right on time during those ripping solos. Many people can't even stay on time with a whole band but he's just by himself. Killer cover as always!

For anyone new: Corey is one of the best acoustic guitarists I’ve ever seen. For years he has absolutely shocked me. He is up there with the likes of the best without a doubt, whether it be Tommy Emmanuel or Chet Atkins. He is a phenom and a major talent, and deserves far more recognition than he has.

[andystark]

you are one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. I cant get enough of all of your covers dude. Absolutely stunning work dude.

[NickS-vbes]

The magic starting at around 2:32...MY GOD! I listen to this about 10 times a day.

[oalsecnev]

I left my jaw on the ground. That was seriously sick. I thought after seeing Satriani, Vai, SRV and other major guitarists I couldn't be impressed anymore. I was wrong. Unreal guitar and vocal skills. This guy deserves a big stage.

[PaulCowling-fl]

Corey you are inspirational! Your playing and singing sends me!

[EstebanAlmeida-ji]

WOW, what an incredible voice. I find it hard to believe there's a better acoustic cover out. Props to you.

[fabiorodrigues]

OMG man you are a monster 😃 I'm so glad i found you on youtube.

[mehdihesari]

Your'e easily one of the most talented human beings of all time.

[dannysmith]

Holy Shite!!! As an acoustic guitar guy myself, this guy blows me away. Magnificent Super Talent

[GregoryRobbins-xtdf]

I don't know what else to say, I agree with all the positive posts, just amazing talent. Thank you and keep on playing!

[jcprometheus]

You’re absolutely INSANE before the vocals start, and then I just about shit my pants when you started singing… Good lord man 🤯

[jonhumble]

Incredible talent on display here. It takes an enormous amount of discipline, practice and dedication to get to this level of proficiency. Just awesome.

[RecoveredRidleyTruther]

So hard to strum, play lead and keep rhythm singing at the same time. Proper, well done 👏

[davidallen]

Love it man love the energy this guy puts into the music that he plays on that guitar that gets you pumped up ready to jam thanks man Big Time see you in the circle my friend thanks again
