Hi friends,

i just recorded a version of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". It's a very easy fingerstyle version :-)

Default Simplicity can be Beautiful...!!!

Congratulations on a beautiful arrangement!

Other than Adam Rafferty, I don't see many people tackling Stevie.

You have a great groove going there. I was mesmerized by your timing.

And the way you emphasized and changed your attack at points was very tasteful.

A "simple" arrangement doesn't always mean they are easy to come up with.

Beautiful job!

Not sure if it was good enough to show anyone? You're kidding... it's great! Excellent groove, very nice. I enjoyed it. If you ever rerecord it, I would have preferred the camera angle show more of what your left hand is doing.

I've seen Adam Rafferty perform this song and it just knocked my socks off. But, you've got it. Great job.
