- This is footage of a Stevie Wonder concert in Jacksonville, Florida, taken on November 1, 2012, during which Stevie introduces his new musical instrument, the harpejji, to his concert audience. He then performs his song "A Time to Love" on the instrument. Stevie has been playing the harpejji since the Spring of 2012. He first discovered the harpejji at Winter NAMM 2012, where harpejji inventor Tim Meeks gave him his first demo. Later that spring, Tim Meeks gave Stevie a few days of lessons, but since then he has been learning it on his own. The instrument featured in this video is a harpejji G16.

5 months people, he's played this thing for 5 months and he sounds amazing.
He already has knowledge in theory and piano so switching to another instrument as someone who already knows how to play is easier than someone who doesn't know how to play an instrument.
And he IS Stevie Wonder!
The notation is similar to the piano, and the finger only pushes the strings
He is prodigy
This is one of the easiest of all instruments to learn, the scales are in straight lines and key transposition is automatic. And Stevie is already a piano god, he could probably play it like this within 5 days.
He was on Carpool Karaoke , so fun to watch that one
Question. Why's Stevie got an autocue?
Whenever he riffs, he uses his whole body. That feeling!
Wow...just the little intro 0:55-1:17, the sound this thing puts out is almost hypnotizing. So smooth electronic yet organic, feels good, as a pianist/organist I feel like it can convey a struggle only a string instrument con produce, hopefully i'll be able to purchase one one day
Darryl Rodgers check out the Harpejji RUclips channel. I want one so much!
They are ONLY ~$4600 on the low end and $7700 on the high end! Jump on out to your nearest Harpejji store and grab one!
He's such a wizard...so glad the harpejji is in his arsenal now!
I feel like t-pain would play a good stevie wonder if they ever made a movie about him lol.
He already played Stevie here ruclips.net/video/T7jL0NJ98Nc/видео.html
You must've been born after 2000
@@Superstardark Lol what makes you think that?
@@plainjames4548 Stevie and pain in two different musical brackets but I do agree they are high level musicians
nah man, the perfect role for him would be george clinton of Parliament funkadelic
I remember growing up in the 70s n 80s this guy won awards every year. Fast forward 2012 playing new instruments and still sounding good. Just a inspirational human being
He's great!
" We don't have time to feed the poor, but for WAR there's always more. Just beautiful !
i see a lot of feeding the poor happening 🤔 maybe we just have too many poor because the economy is fucked because we're getting taken advantage of by other nations 🤔
i hope you still find this quote important
how is this guy not on the top of the charts every month? he sounds just as great as in the 80's..
Have you heard what *is* on the top of the charts? American pop culture is now junk. Junk food, junk music, junk philosophy. The good things don't give instant gratification or require critical thinking, so they're not on top commercially.
cloudsabove Good point
Uphill in the snow both ways, eh grandpa?
And 70's
Has he put out new stuff recently? That'd probably be why not.
"We will pay the consequences, if we don't make time to love." Amen.
One of the best vocalists and musicians of all time.
God I love this man, his playing of this complex new instrument is like a direct link to his musical mind, there will never be an instrument that even comes to allowing us to come close to the beautiful souldful music inside little Stevie unless it is connected directly to his souls and I would love to be around to hear it
He is a nasty piece of shit fraud.
There are people who come into the world not just to leave a mark, but to become a part of the landscape. Stevie is a mountain that few will scale, and all will look at with awe...
Beautifully said.
I´ve got goosebumps. How he filled that room only with his voice. So great!!!!!!
He is and will always be a great musican and a wonderful human being.
How nice to see him doing what he loves , very inspirational human being and loved by millions.. Well done stevie.. Well done
Absolutely love Stevie Wonder, he still has it after all these years, excellent!!
If we all just listened to Stevie, the world would be a better place. ❤️🌎
Beautiful song, and yeah, the harpejji sounds amazing.
Just blew my mind! His voice is just outstanding it’s on another galaxy and so is his music! He is a world treasure
long live the legend !
Stevie, one of the biggest blow of heart I have ever heard...
So much heart, melody and wisdom, Wonder is such a Love living gift.
This song makes me cry sometimes, but what's can makes me cry too is this dead crown behind,
this is like they don't feel the message
Love Stevie and his music!!! He's a gift from God!!! ♥️♥️♥️👏👍
He’s been playing it for 5 months ... mastered that too
Incredible.
Ingenious.
Incomparable.
Inimitable.
A True American Treasure.
God's gift.
Stevie Wonder.
To everyone disparaging Stevie Wonder as to whether he is not completely blind ( as if That's a crime ) ... whether he is or not will never make you better, bigger, more popular, more attractive, nicer, or richer. Don't you have a life to live ?
Amazing. SW is the best.
want one so bad but way too expensive
Beautiful song but did anyone notice the teleprompters aimed at him? Why?
We the people stand together. We're behind you Stevie........ CHECKING OUR SMARTPHONES... ON STAGE! WTF just happened, twice?!
Just sad
You can make the Harpeji sound like a voice. I love it!
sounds like a harp
So Amazing!! His Voice and Sense of Music.... He is a Genius.
I saw him playing that thing on "Superstition" when he was at Circuit of the Americas last year (2017), but I had no idea what it was. Amazing instrument, and a perfect fit for such a great musician.
Stay safe Stevie. We need you. The world needs you.
I hear he ain't even blind
I grew up in the 70s listening to Stevie Wonder. I played Superstition until I wore the tape out.
He is truly amazing pure magic. I want one.
❤️Amazing,Wonderful Vcalist!(Singer!),Pianist!,Harmonica player! Harpejjist!,
Full Of Talent And Lovely Personality! Stevie Wonder!
He has always been the greatest musician I hope I run into him someday in heaven
Innervision!
Genius !!
Great Stevie Wonder!!!
dang it, if Stevie Wonder makes me cry ONE more time....im never listening to music again!
😂. Get a hold of yourself now.
Hey, LookupRonPaul, you ought to look up "compassion." For one thing, I went back to listen at 3:25, and you're misrepresenting on top of being absurdly judgmental. Stevie does start out saying "Terrol...," and corrects it with all three syllables of "terrorism (go back and listen again yourself) in a short amount of time left to stay within the musical phrase. I wonder how often you've performed solo to a crowd that large and how well you did under the circumstances? WTF?!?
How do you have a voice like that for nearly and over 50 years?
He didn't strain his voice with extreme notes or weird techniques, plus a lot of effort to keep it in shape, as well as a pinch of genetics.
This guy is going to be famous, i just know it!
hahahahahahahahaha
aaaaaaaaa
Absolutely beautiful!!🔥🔥
I love the instrument but honestly you can barely hear it . Wish this was mixed/recorded better.
Stevie couldn't play guitar? That's a surprise.
А чо так фонит-то?
I wonder why he couldn't make the guitar work for him?
ruclips.net/video/vtFIxBArOLw/видео.html Stevie Wonder is literally music in the flesh
✨🎶✨🎶✨🎶✨
um..why does Stevie Wonder have a teleprompter?
God bless you Mr. Wonder
Why does Stevie Wonder have a teleprompter?
Nobody's perfect.
fun fact: Stevie Wonder is not completely blind
How do you know
@@trabbexx-3482 its well documented ...hes only about 40% blind but his glasses & stage persona are part of the show. He's very talented nonetheless but perceived as a blind man he is extraordinary.
@@NathanHassall Yep.. He said in the past he remembers seeing certain colors and the sun....
Still a talented man....
Thanks for posting proof
@@el_principe3611 your welcome & thanks for using google without having to take someone you don't knows word for it like a fool.
YAAAIIIIIIIIISSSSS MAAAANNEEE!!!!!! LONG LIVE STEVIE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why does he have a teleprompter? Considering he is... you know.... BLIND!
imagine if he had this in the 70s???
simply the Genius
He looks more like Ravindra Jain (Late Indian Composer)
This instrument is not an invention it is already there regarding the strings sound, search any moritanian music and u will find it !
Why's he got teleprompters?
❤️Stevie❤️ WANT Harpejji. 🙂
Why is there a teleprompter?
love the instant stankface by the blonde woman behind him :D
Ohhh wow. U go Stevie. Amazing 😉 if you can learn to play this instrument so can I
He is much more than his name!!!
He is the greatest musician of the XX in many terms
Stevie and Donny, Stevie and Donny, Stevie and Donny - or Donny and Stevie . . . I don't know what do you think? Answer please I've been wondering this for a while.
I can’t wait to order my custom harpejji
Why does Stevie Wonder have a teleprompter?
salute Stevie.. God bless
I love stevie!!!!!1
5 months, now I know this guy can see hahaha
ok, but, what's with the autocue?!
Yeah, we caught that, but no need to point out his flubs, Parkinson's does that, it's not something you want to rub in, after all, you may get it one day too.
Stevie you Best? Fantastic.
Lyrics, PLEASE. WOW
I feel grounded now. A Time To Love on deck. Man, I have been sleeping on this challenge.
Looks like a political rally lmao
AWESOME. I am BUYING a harpejji IMMEDIATELY
Good luck. Basic ones are 3.5k and up...
Probably there to reduce spill from the audience. Not necessarily a prompt.
It was a campaign stop during the election with the FLOTUS, I understand.
Stevie Wonderful
jazz to eastern flamenco .... !
I love you!
that alot of people who record with tablet lol
It's like a cross between a zither and a touch guitar.
tapping
Duvalllllllll🙏
The buzzing
More proof Stevie Wonder is not blind.
he's using the teleprompter 😄
Wow he can even play the braille.
WOKE
❤❤❤

I was always confused as to how Stevie could play instruments while being blind. I have since learned that a lot of people considered legally blind do have some portion of sight so now i wonder how much Stevie has. Regardless he's a legend for being able to play such complicated instruments and his voice is mesmerizing
Why do you believe that sight is required to play an instrument?
Quel talent !!!
