I will say that the guitar riff from "Superstition" is one of the greatest, most "infectious" (can't get it out of the head) of all time.

One of our greatest composers, performers and recording artists.

Great singer and instrumentalist.

No comments on the Eddie Murphy Delirious reference...that hurts.

That infectious riff for "Superstition" was played by Stevie on a Hohner Clavinet, a keyboard, probably through an automatic wah wah.

It does sound similar to a phased electric guitar going through a wah wah in order to vary the timbre of the sound and have a funky attack envelope.

There's a story in Keith Richard's recent autobiography, "Life" (an ok read) where SW was with working with KR (and I think the Stones, too; not the Xpensive Wino stuff) and SW memorized the layout of a certain hotel floorplan and would walk away from the checkin counter and go straight to the elevator all on his own. Some in the band thought SW was faking the whole blindness thing.
