In the era of social media shredders, the fundamentals of groove and rhythm are sorely overlooked and the song itself often forgotten. It's not a matter of technicality - Nile Rodgers is as technical as they come, his jazz knowledge informs his chord voicings. Rather, it's about feel, sitting in the pocket. This is why Nile and Bernard Edwards such had great musical relationship, they nailed the groove. Such great music, so emotive, inventive and timeless.
Check out Vulfpeck, Cory Wong (and his own band the wongnotes) takes an immense amount of inspiration from this era and the sound. He's a Minneapolis guy and looks to Prince for inspiration a lot as well. I think if anyone is trying to find a modern day guy who respects the rhythm its' hard to overlook Cory.
This guy is a living legend and is responsible for some of the greatest music ever written. Also seems like a genuine human being. I appreciate that Fender took the time to recognize him. 🔥🙏👍
Noone should be imprisoned in a specific genre of music. Sure, some you will not like, but you can only benefit from having diverse musical tastes and great musical culture. From Abba to Dimmu Borgir, Dogg Pound to Millencolin, Femi Kuti to Yes ; the more you try the more you mind expands!
I love the that the chic section starts with vinyl, the bowie section with a cassette player and then daft punk with a CD. Fender content is always on point.
I don't care what genre of music you're into....if you're into music you know when you're hearing greatness....and this man defines that...pure, real talent... although I'm pretty much a rock'n'roll guitarist, I've always been in awe of his style or anyone who can play that funky, choppy chordal style...just something about it that's always appealed to me...shit, now I gotta go learn me some Nile Rodgers....wish me luck...
To say he's legendary is modesty - he's one of the few musicians I've heard that can tap into some unspoken human primordial urge. When you hear him play it's almost an instinctual reaction. You just know it's there and you have to respond - it's almost beyond your ability to choose.
That Chic album was the first album I ever bought. I guess I was 10 or 11…. The first music I asked my guitar teacher to teach me was Nile’s work with Diana Ross. He’s sorta been a hero to me for all these years, but I didn’t understand how difficult it is to play like that until now that I’m in my 50s. I mean, I can’t even hold the pick when the right hand ‘motor’ is working like that. And all the left hand muting? I thought it was something, playing Van Halen riffs, but Nile Rodgers is just a guitar hero in a different genre. This profile and recounting of these songs was happymaking. Love, love, love.
Being familiar with Nile Rodgers-music, bio/history/discography, book/interviews/workshops, etc.-allowed me to roam free and appreciate the other elements of this short docu/feature-the cinematography, the editing, lighting/color grading (different tone for different tunes), direction, even the anamorphic vibe (even if this was probably shot with a spherical lens, or maybe a 1.33x anamorphic?) Felt like a trailer/teaser to a cinematic Rodgers biopic. Nile Rodgers definitely deserves his legend and stories told this lovingly. Well done, Fender.
He's too underrated in the publics eye, the man turns everything he's touched to solid platinum and certainly maintained his relevance throughout the decades and I hope he continues on through more.
Nile and Chic was in Stockholm a few weeks ago. And he’s so funky, I can’t walk straight after that show. All the hits and the performance was spot on.
It's a crime that Nile Rodgers didn't have a signature Fender Stratocaster till now, considering how respected he is and how well known "The Hitmaker" is.
This is an amazing piece of musical history…worth it alone fo the great story about how the “ah…Freak Out!” Line from Le Freak come to be. Totally awesome!
Fender, please, make more videos like this. I learned so much musically about riffs I’ve heard on the radio for years, but now it opened up my eyes to new potential projects from just hearing the minimalism to completion aspects of Nile’s tracks. Really great!!!
I know that this is an ad, but it was so interesting. It's much more effective than someone just going through the tones and specs - something I wouldn't have even clicked on.
Someone needs to do an in depth interview with this guy because we won't have him forever. An absolute treasure we don't hear enough about, please please please just someone point a camera at him and ask him about music because he is the sort of person we need more of.
Though probably not one of my favorite guitarist, he is one of my favorite songwriters and absolutely without question my premier record production influence, Nile Rodgers is just freaking amazing and one of the most prolific producers of the 20th century by far.
I never was into disco, but 'Le Freak' always perked my ears up every time I heard it on the radio, and there's no denying the influence of Nile's guitar work, from INXS to British dance-rock groups like Duran Duran. What an iconic sound. And this is a terrific video.... Lets the famous player do the talking. The only thing missing from this is that Stevie Ray Vaughan played a solo on Let's Dance.... I had hoped Nile would have mentioned meeting him, as both of the guys were Strat people....
If you're interested in Stevie Ray Vaughan doing studio lead you should hear his Billy Joel song, the one that starts out with "we walked on the beach beside the old hotel", something like that.
John Taylor was influenced by Bernard Edwards. Just listen to the bass groove for 'Rio'. Nile and Bernard both produced plenty of Duran Duran material.
This man is a LIVING LEGEND and national treasure!! Love pretty much everything he's touched. That story about Le Freak is hilarious!! I had no idea! 😂
This was awesome. Thank you, Niles, for decades of great music and thanks Fender for guitars that transcend genres and have inspired so much iconic music!
Talk about turning adversity into opportunity. Le Freak is impossibile to play just right unles you’re Nile. Insane talent. Bravo to him and Fender for this gift.
I’m so so so glad the recent generations including myself have found the value (even pre Daft Punk and as producer) but of Niles playing and the contribution to rock funk and what became known as disco music in the mid late 70s and to Bowie in 80s and so many others onward and beyond, love Nile Rodgers!
the thing that always strikes me about nile's style of playing is those perfect little pointy transients. they sit in the mix so well without any wrangling
as a bassist, lead guitarist and someone who actually respects and understand "rhythm guitar" and not just someone who thinks it's a lesser than thing, this guy is really an inspiration and I also dig and get where he's coming from with not wanting to hear daft punks demo's because he wanted to figure it out on the spot in the studio. i just wish I had access to studio time like that too. Some day maybe.
It was probably the best summer ever when I was on get lucky loop, because of radio earmuffs and the constant task of mowing the lawn. Sun shines, it's hot and damn the song just hit the game so that it didn't feel like it was a summer job. Really makes me think of fragments of time, because that job was so mute in other ways than the radio, but it's there as one of the fondest. I felt like I was becoming independent. "get lucky" They found the magical way to forgive himself. Wow cool player. Been giving everyone, and still keeps giving for years to come.
What an amazing time that Nile Rodgers is talking about. The 'Thin White Duke' was incredible on stage with The Serious Moonlight World Tour. I got to the front and Bowie looked like an Ivory Doll all in white, upon a semi circular part of the stage large enough for just Bowie that jutted out above and towards me. The Simms Brothers stood behind to his left wearing matching candy Striped suites. What a fantastic band. And I've never forgotten that night. I received my first kiss standing just below Bowie.
Great video only critique is the jump from Bowie to Daft Punk was 30+ years and we missed so many album productions Madonna Duran Duran and many many more. Would’ve been great to hear what Nile had to say. But let’s all congratulate Pender for a great video very gentle, very honest, and at the end of the day, they are selling a guitar and it’s in honour of Nile and his creativity so that’s of defender and Mr Rogers
Some people dismiss the lets dance album but I always saw it as the end of Bowies golden era. The first 3 tracks are absolute bangers and the title track is one of the most iconic production jobs of all time. The rest of the album is good if not great. I still consider it an important record in Bowies work. Nile Rodgers was a great rhythm player and SRV killed those fills
you hear him strumming those chords and you think "whatever, he's just strumming some chords", but then you listen more closely and you realize that every strum is absolutely perfect, every string he wants to ring is ringing and every string he wants silent is silent
I am so jealous. I have a 20 million album sale inside my own head and Nile Rodgers is producing it. IMHO Nile Rodgers is the superstar in the world of music. George Martin was special but Nile is my all time favourite. Whenever, you need a holiday in Australia you are free to stay at my place. lol x
I often see geniuses, being mathematicians, musicians, or athletes, create the bulk of their meaningful contributions in their early years. This guy has kept making genius contributions way past that. Truly remarkable.
The bowie reflection was so cool to see how Nile could transform and interpret with feeling and underpined by well sheer knowledge of musoc theory. Very insliring stuff - well what would you expect. So cool well done fender
Disco didn't really take hold in Toronto, Ontario. Rooms brought back bands after a few months, some letting the DJs stay to play between sets. That's when I was standing around hearing Chic and Nile Rogers' rhythms. I saw The Jimi Hendrix Experience and had a 1964 Strat with a Marshall amp and effects before Jimi passed, so I was all set to get into cleaner rhythm sounds onstage while I continued to make all the lead guitar sounds. Wow! I ordered a Redmere Soloist from Scotland, what made the same sounds as "Let's Dance". Go Niles!
Beautiful Strat. Why hasn't Fender, over the years come out with more varied pick guards? Such a top quality instrument would be better served with something other than the white plastic.
I was about 11 or 12 years old when the song “Le Freak” came out. And I remember sitting in my back bedroom with the record playing and trying to teach myself how to play it on my guitar. Hearing the story on how the song came to be is cool as a mug!!!
Great video Fender. Loved it. So weel done. It's really a great ad for Fender. So that being said...do we really need to watch youtube ads every TWO MINUTES?
Last summer came across hearing Chic - I Want Your Love, the extended mix and there was this instrumental part which goes on for few minutes, I recommend it. It's fantastic, mesmerizing but never asked myself who's the guy behind that guitar. Same with Let's Dance of Bowie. Thought David himself came with the delayed chords or Stevie Ray Vaughan, which is unlikely given his pure blues style. Only today to realize it was Nile Rodgers all along. The man is an instant legend, having created some of the most catchy stuff that I've heard. I found a new guitar hero today by accident.
I played a fender strat in the store for over an hour and fell in love with it. Went to another store and bought the same model and it did not sound or play the same. To this day it sits in it case. I've tried others strats like the one I played in the store but they don't touch my soul. Nile is spot on about finding that one guitar that marry up with you. I wish he would have said what Fender had to do to make that exact guitar. Great video!!
I have a Jap Strat I think is better than the American models made in the same year - 1988. I bought it largely because of the blue color and white neck - what maple fingerboards were called back in the day. It plays like a dream.
In the era of social media shredders, the fundamentals of groove and rhythm are sorely overlooked and the song itself often forgotten. It's not a matter of technicality - Nile Rodgers is as technical as they come, his jazz knowledge informs his chord voicings. Rather, it's about feel, sitting in the pocket.

He understands how music moves the heart. Always has. I can't give any higher praise than that.
Check out Vulfpeck, Cory Wong (and his own band the wongnotes) takes an immense amount of inspiration from this era and the sound. He's a Minneapolis guy and looks to Prince for inspiration a lot as well. I think if anyone is trying to find a modern day guy who respects the rhythm its' hard to overlook Cory.
He's also probably better than all those shredders. Just check out Savoir Faire to get what I mean
This guy is a living legend and is responsible for some of the greatest music ever written. Also seems like a genuine human being. I appreciate that Fender took the time to recognize him. 🔥🙏👍
Modern "Pop" music.
I love classical and big band music as well. I imagine he does as well.
I’m about as metal as you get, but man when I hear Nile riffing I always smile.
He's that good. Prince was also a riffmeister.
Noone should be imprisoned in a specific genre of music. Sure, some you will not like, but you can only benefit from having diverse musical tastes and great musical culture. From Abba to Dimmu Borgir, Dogg Pound to Millencolin, Femi Kuti to Yes ; the more you try the more you mind expands!
@@alwaysopen7970 And also the best Superbowl Halftime Show ever!!!!!
He makes me like the funk in the 70's.I was only a rocker before.😁
@@alwaysopen7970 and he was a fan of Nile Rogers
I love the that the chic section starts with vinyl, the bowie section with a cassette player and then daft punk with a CD. Fender content is always on point.
I don't care what genre of music you're into....if you're into music you know when you're hearing greatness....and this man defines that...pure, real talent... although I'm pretty much a rock'n'roll guitarist, I've always been in awe of his style or anyone who can play that funky, choppy chordal style...just something about it that's always appealed to me...shit, now I gotta go learn me some Nile Rodgers....wish me luck...
How he doesn’t have a MasterClass blows my mind. What a legend.
Hats off Fender. This video is amazing. Amazing musician & producer. Amazing story. Amazing guitar. Amazing hitmaker!!
Bootlicker!!
Yep, you're absolutely right.
I have two Fenders, a Partscaster and a Warmoth bass both based upon the Fender design. I need to get a real Tele to fill out my herd.
I love Nile!
To say he's legendary is modesty - he's one of the few musicians I've heard that can tap into some unspoken human primordial urge. When you hear him play it's almost an instinctual reaction. You just know it's there and you have to respond - it's almost beyond your ability to choose.
Well said!

most relevant guitar player
No. Maybe to you. Ask him and it’s Jimi Hendrix. And I would agree with that.
@@FYMASMD bruh do you even know what “relevant” means?? lmaoo
He is in my top 5
He's too underrated in the publics eye, the man turns everything he's touched to solid platinum and certainly maintained his relevance throughout the decades and I hope he continues on through more.
@@RadicalR0nnieI thought I did. Now you got me stroking my beard pondering life and if I know anything 😂
I could joyfully listen to Nile talk, and play, for hours. Such a privilege to hear his stories.
Nile and Chic was in Stockholm a few weeks ago. And he’s so funky, I can’t walk straight after that show. All the hits and the performance was spot on.
Yes, it‘s true: Nile is a living music legend!❤

Respect to this great musician ….
This is an amazing piece of musical history…worth it alone fo the great story about how the “ah…Freak Out!” Line from Le Freak come to be. Totally awesome!
❤️❤️❤️
I've heard Nile tell the story many times, but this is the first time I've heard him play and sing the original version. 🎸♥️
Nile Rodgers IS wonderful
Since 1979 'He's the greatest Dancer'is still my favorite tune
Fender, please, make more videos like this. I learned so much musically about riffs I’ve heard on the radio for years, but now it opened up my eyes to new potential projects from just hearing the minimalism to completion aspects of Nile’s tracks. Really great!!!

Everything about this video was perfect. Fender, please make many more of these.
I could listen to Nile for hours. He is really a true living inspiration.
true, learnt so much by just playing along to chic records for hours
Someone needs to do an in depth interview with this guy because we won't have him forever. An absolute treasure we don't hear enough about, please please please just someone point a camera at him and ask him about music because he is the sort of person we need more of.

Amazing!!🔥
Thank you so much Sir Nile for helping LE SSERAFIM with their new Song! 💙
Can't wait to hear the song!! 🥺
Nile made 'happy' music. Back in the seventies Nile was the greatest. Disco would not have existed without him. Such a nice man.
This man is a national treasure. Protect him at all cost!

Had the pleasure of seeing Nile Rodgers and Chic live last month in Edinburgh. Hit after hit after hit! Astonishing.
I love Nile Rodgers! Only he can turn a loss into a win
This man is a LIVING LEGEND and national treasure!! Love pretty much everything he's touched. That story about Le Freak is hilarious!! I had no idea! 😂
Oh I am refreshed by this video. Love the old school.
This was awesome. Thank you, Niles, for decades of great music and thanks Fender for guitars that transcend genres and have inspired so much iconic music!

Love Niles and Bowie! I saw him at the Serious Moonlight Tour, Oakland Colosseum in 1983. This brings back memories.
the thing that always strikes me about nile's style of playing is those perfect little pointy transients. they sit in the mix so well without any wrangling
I have so much respect for Nile, he’s amazing, period.

Really enjoying all the love from the funk musicians here, stay poppin' 🙏
🙌🎶😎
Legendary, this is deeply historically significant.
He is a musical genius. 💯🔥🔥
Thank you for this Fender! I always learn something when I listen to Nile talk about the stories behind his music. Cheers
I love his Studio 54 studio story!!!
Some many great songs are born from real life!! Those are the ones that last!
the kick drum in random access memories must be the most exciting instrument recording ever.
EXCELLENT AND INTERESTING LITTLE DOCUMENTARY!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Nile for all music you‘ve given to us, see you in Hamburg, 31st of juli 2023
Nile is so freaking talented. I could listen to him talk and play all day long.
I regret discovering Nile's genuis so late in life.
That's a living legend right there...
One of the great producers of his era. And a fine, fine guitar player.

He's a guitar genius, he brought his guitar style, the Nile Rogers style.

I adore this dude! A true living LEGEND!
that's why i'm a fans of this guy for decades
Such an inspiration ❤️
Nile is a genius of the first order. If anyone deserves the name "Hitmaker," it's him. He made rhythmic playing so cool.
Legends always have amazing stories to tell
This man is so gifted!
you hear him strumming those chords and you think "whatever, he's just strumming some chords", but then you listen more closely and you realize that every strum is absolutely perfect, every string he wants to ring is ringing and every string he wants silent is silent
Absolutely amazing! Can't think of a more deserving person than Nile with such an iconic instrument and sound.
A real Genius....He's behind some of the biggest names in music....
Good to see the legend Nile again.
This is really beautiful. Blown away.
I can’t play anything but I feel so enlightened having watched this dude explain his groove
I am so jealous. I have a 20 million album sale inside my own head and Nile Rodgers is producing it. IMHO Nile Rodgers is the superstar in the world of music. George Martin was special but Nile is my all time favourite. Whenever, you need a holiday in Australia you are free to stay at my place. lol x
Nile is notorious
Nile is one of the best rhythm guitar players and deserve this honor.
So many great lessons taught on this vid
I often see geniuses, being mathematicians, musicians, or athletes, create the bulk of their meaningful contributions in their early years. This guy has kept making genius contributions way past that. Truly remarkable.
Without Niall, the world of music would never be the same.
Wow! I had no clue! I’m such a lover of US history and R and B music. I have a lot of more reading and researching to do.
The bowie reflection was so cool to see how Nile could transform and interpret with feeling and underpined by well sheer knowledge of musoc theory. Very insliring stuff - well what would you expect. So cool well done fender
I love watching videos about the creative process that goes into music.
To me, he is the greatest producer who ever lived. Just a pure legend.
I remember this great music played on AM radio as a kid .
I like his music so much. So strong.
Disco didn't really take hold in Toronto, Ontario. Rooms brought back bands after a few months, some letting

🕺😁
Pure intelligence and creativity. When i say intelligence and creativity, i mean both the musician and the engineering behind the instrument...
WOW what an awesome story teller I could listen to Niles talk music for hours thanks for sharing brother
GRANDE NILE
Beautiful Strat. Why hasn't Fender, over the years come out with more varied pick guards? Such a top quality instrument would be better served with something other than the white plastic.
100s of aftermarket models exist; surf the web. I found a killer tortoise shell model for my 57 P bass.
If it ain't broke
I was about 11 or 12 years old when the song “Le Freak” came out. And I remember sitting in my back bedroom with the record playing and trying to teach myself how to play it on my guitar. Hearing the story on how the song came to be is cool as a mug!!!

I have a Jap Strat I think is better than the American models made in the same year - 1988. I bought it largely because of the blue color and white neck - what maple fingerboards were called back in the day. It plays like a dream.
Dude’s one of my heroes...and the Strat is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen🖤🤘🏻🖤
