SUPERSTITION

Free arrangement from






By Stevie Wonder

Warning : This is only an adaptation inspired by the song and rather an opportunity to improvise solos. The original tune is in C minor and the chord progression of the chorus is B C B Bb and A, which is different than that I use in the tab and the demo. (I use E minor instead and G D C A Em as the chord progression.) 

Solo : it is up to you to improvise. You will find hereafter all the positions on the neck to make a solo in pentatonic E minor ( (Rhythm &) Blues solo). Of course you are supposed to shift from one shape to another. Transitory notes are accepted provided you play them swiftly. I use a Bb several times in the demo that is not in the scale. Square notes on the neck are E, the note on which it is useful to insist upon. The demo contains an intro without any solo so that you can sample the drums and the bass (which I play with a strat with phase effect) to make play back if you cannot generate the drums. The solo is not very elaborated . It is played with lead effect and I just took what came in my fingers in front of the tape recorder.
(I used shapes 1 and 2 with a Bb on G string)
