I have been a guitar teacher for 30 years. I played all kinds of music. This gentleman showed me modesty in playing. This is playing with passion despite old age. To make such a melodic line is a masterpiece.🎸

[@artmv1149]

Same here, and I couldn't agree more. Dude is brilliant.

[@user-yg4dr8po4p]

There is absolutely nothing modest about this. It's a very busy guitar part 😄

[@yaboi-km2qn]

@@user-yg4dr8po4p I was gonna say, he's got some crazy quick chord changes. I think this is the perfect example of how to play a lot but still be tasteful.

[@nucleusmedicalmedia]

Thank you for this master class of rhythm, melody, and funk in one great song!!

[@fischman26-China]

Wow. Absolutely incredible. Knowledge of all those scales and chords with the ability call them at any time needed is remarkable. Excellent video.

[@dabekgonzo]

hail the master 👏🏻🙌🏻 THE OG MAN !!!

[@spinju0079]

Are you kidding? The man himself showing us how it’s done? Gold. Generous to the hilt. You are a gem, sir. Thanks.

[@rrobhughes]

Embarrassed to admit, but just learning about this dude! thank you for introducing him to me! game changer!

[@lawrencekovalcik8848]

Yep I'm with you. Never heard of the guy either until now.. this is quite a guitar lesson..👍

[@jwthompson9571]

My same sentiments….thank god for KZbin!

[@michaelanzelino5068]

Louie is so underrated. His style of playing is the very foundation on which all other R&B guitar players aspire to achieve. It's top self.

[@LokeshThakur]

lol what do u mean underrated ? Hes in the Nashville musicians hall of fame, hes just not popular because hes been a play back guitarist and session record artist and isn't the front man or on a cover, but he has worked with lionel richie, Diana Ross, joe carpenter and a plethora of other famous artists because of his skill.

[@securethebag1613]

a lot of the original guitarist from lifetime classic songs are poppin up on utube. i loveeeee itttt. their fingers still work like 1965!

[@JaggusBaro]

It’s crazy that he’s 80 years old in this and still plays like in his younger days!

[@raincells]

I keep coming back to this video over and over again. This is brilliant. What a master musician.

[@michaelfoort2592]

Imagine all the talent of Mr Shelton, Gordy Berry, and the Jackson's mixed together...no wonder that song grabbed the whole world

[@flyntmarco]

Goosebumps. What a song, and what a guitarist. Thanks for tabbing.

[@quikset33]

I had the biggest grin on my face from 0:00 to 2:57 of this video. 😀

[@Micjal100]

What about the last second 😮😂

[@theopenmouth9695]

@@Micjal100he stopped smiling cause it had to end

[@tswrench]

Right there, that's what a legend sounds like--Louie Shelton. WOW!

[@markverschuren7538]

Awesome ..... I thought I knew how to play this song ..... now I don't anymore ... LOL.

[@brianwaitzman]

Bless you for transcribing this and sharing 🎶 I knew I wasn't getting it quite rigjt.....

[@andrew522009]

Beautiful my man

[@ikechristoffel3675]

How in the world....this is a MASTERPIECE.

[@robskunk789hji3]

Sir, I can only confirm that this is 100% pure class, magnificent style and playing. Forever inspired.

simply beautiful

[@andrewdocherty8651]

Ah man, I wish this guy could see the smile on my face; that was awesome!

[@beenderedonedat]

Fantastic, simply fantastic!

[@DEEPWEB-.-]

mmmmmm that's neatttttt nice playing sir!

[@phillipdevillephysics9096]

Playing like this is so special; to write something like this is even more special. One thing I wanted to draw special attention to is how his fretboard has worn. C# Minor pentatonic is the only place still fresh, and that is "the pocket", in my opinion. The string tension is absolutely wonderful there; there are so many good songs to shred over. I think it is hilarious that he stayed away from the pocket. That is my favorite spot to lead. C or C# minor, that tension is so perfect there.

[@davidsummerville351]

Hard too describe how he plays, so unique and too me quite complex. I am in awe, and then consider the incredible output year after year. A true master.

[@elbowinhandout]

It doesn't get much better than that!

[@danf4447]

a monster. goosebumps

[@marinostathakis4805]

I grew up in Gary Indiana. I lived about 2 miles from where Michael grew up. Other parts of my family lived near them and went to school with his brothers. I LOVE this song and how cool this is to be played by Louie as an instructional video WITH TABS!!!. Thank you so much.

[@TheNobbynoonar]

I can hear straight away why this man was in such demand. Just listen to the many hits throughout the 70’s & 80’s that must have been influenced and inspired by Mr Shelton’s style. It’s all there in this demonstration.

[@foxyjazzbopper]

Hey.. this is a brilliant tan transcription of Louie Shelton’s superb playing… thank you so very much for taking the time and effort of doing this and posting it… very very much appreciated👌👌.. now where’s my pick!!

[@ceasarjohnson6258]

I just want to say thank you sir. Beautiful Chords you’ve played on that guitar, and yes, you are a pioneer… your Motown guitar ship will forever remain timeless, along with Wilton Felder / James Jameson… May he RIP… May God bless you all.

[@gkgam3r]

Louie is still alive and kickin' (ass)

[@cesarcalles6523]

This was the actual video I was looking for Thanks for that !

[@hsepo7227]

Your style is so nice, such a perfect timing, swing. Amazing tastful playing. I want to learn your style.

[@cellulose6322]

Wow brotha well done!

[@burnsy55]

One of my favorite bass lines ever, but such a cool guitar part too

[@7775Kevin]

Really Cool. As an Ex-Drummer, I wish that I could have played with you on a stage. You remind me of a lot of really great guitarist that I was lucky to have played with.

[@jeanlucdecoster]

If this was an outro solo on that song… my oh my it would’ve been even more legendary

[@LucilioSantos12]

From the first time I found that it was you , who played this on the recording, I was hoping ,some how, I could get some help, on what I couildn't figure on how to play this... I thank you from the Bottom of my heart... THANK YOU!!! Fantastic guitar work !!!!!!!!!

[@mattkappus4353]

very good tutorial petrus!

Il est pas là pour rigoler. TOP LEVEL

[@johnkay6619]

From the looks of that fretboard, that very well could be the guitar that made those wonderful sounds on the original recording.

[@wessmall9169]

Mesmerising!! 🤟🤟👋👋

[@darrenjackson1008]

Simply wow.. There are no words to describe the raw talent you have at your finger tips. I’m from the UK and I can honestly say ( embarrassingly so) I had never heard of you til I began looking for songs I would love to be able to play well one day. I’m in my fifties and have been a fan of Michael Jackson since the Jackson 5. I’m also a big fan of musician/producer Quincy Jones. You are thee best guitarist I’ve have seen. You play effortlessly with great fluidity and ooze passion you have for guitar when playing. Your age doesn’t hinder you at all.and with that you set the bar even higher. I wish I had stumbled across you much earlier in my life, you’ve inspired me already never to give up. I started playing electric guitar about 3 years ago and in all honesty I cannot ever see myself getting to your incredibly insane high standards but I will continue on my journey. Have you ever done a KZbin video, step by step play through of this song? I’d love to be able to learn to play this.. Take care, Darren

Thank you so much for this! I was just about to downlod his original video, bring it to logic and start looping each part until I can get it all. But there is no need for that because of your video. If you don't mind sharing, what software do you use to create these tabs? Thanks

[@TeiscoCurlee]

Glad to help, I use GuitarPro!

Yeah and listening mostly

Nice, i promise to share with you a video of me playing this song but probably no sooner than in a few months :)

[@specialkalberta]

Brilliant but it does seems to deviate from the Jackson 5 record. It seems that opening bass riff (4 bars) is played twice on the record and 3 times here (bar 1-8 on record, bar 1-12 here).

[@lukemason3793]

how should I play it to match the actual song

[@enetamuno5953]

​@@lukemason3793hi Luke he suggests you, and Louie go back nicely in time play the guitar part exactly as he suggested, voila we have multiple Grammy's on our hands😂😂😂😂😂

No this is a performance Louie uploaded to his KZbin channel!

If someone is too lazy to learn to read music,(yes I said lazy) what makes you think they are going to take the time to read tablature? Just saying.

[@TeiscoCurlee]

Take a look at the comments on tab videos, A LOT of people are reading tab and are very grateful they exist. But maybe you are too lazy to do that

[@Leo-gn1uf]

Better than Kirk Hammet definitely lol
