Notes

Studio recording, 1973, Innervisions album. No direct evidence of pedals or effects for the riff section. Guitar is likely played by session musician Dean Parks or David T. Walker, as Stevie Wonder himself rarely played guitar on his records. No live footage or official rig rundown for this specific song/section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate jazz chord knowledge, precise fingerstyle technique, and subtle dynamic control to achieve the soft, expressive studio tone.
