Hello,

Thank you Harmonizer for the links. What a pleasure to play with Stevie Wonder and her musicians at home. :D

In a group with only one pianist, it is impossible to play all parts of keyboards.
I did a tutorial on the song as I play it with my band. I play Rhodes and brass. Only Brass Stabs on the Couplet and Chorus.

Hi Arti99, I'm in my car but will take the time to listen/watched it for sure, your programs and playing are usually very good....
I know about the too many parts on the keyboard, that's why at bought a TC Electronic Ditto X4 Looper to play it. My plan is to enter the little 4 bars or 8 bars for the chorus and the verse and, as you can switch from one loop1/verse to the second loop2/chorus loop, it should work well....and my drummer will have the loops in his headphone and will have to follow it....I haven't done it yet but it should be good....
At the end, if it's too complicated, I will do the usual Clav/EP + Brass, left & right hand split.
Thanks for posting anyway
Sincerely

No worries, I watched it, awesome, I like the groove....I have already worked on it and prepared a patch, I think I used your path and then add extra brass on the right hand with the XV5080. I was thinking to proposed it to my first band (More Tock/Blues band) but they said that the version of Stevie Wonder sucks and that their version, just with distortion guitars sound better?!?!
So, I Gave up,but it's on our Setlist with the new band I started recently, more party/dance, I will use your video for sure.
Thanks again, great job.
Sincerely

Attached is Higher Ground using a Clavinet with combination Auto-wah and control pedal changing the rate for more flexibility in the wah effect. Hope you like it.
