@@ElyJaffeMusic I just discovered you guys after looking at all Sly Stone stuff. When I was a teenager, I loved Sly! Loved his music and loved his flare! Your "If You Want Me to Stay" rendition is sweet!

[@ElyJaffeMusic]

@@choward5430 that's awesome, thanks!! 😎

[@morganfreedude3742]

[@randyblack5942]

"If you want me to stay" by Sly and the Family Stone was released in 1973. I was 15. This record was the best song I had ever heard in my life and I was I was a huge James Brown/Motown/Stax fan at that time. As I grew older and my music appreciation matured, I always had this song in my heart. When I discovered the brilliance of Bass guitar and James Jameson, I went back to this song and was wowed by the incredible bass that existed on this song from the beginning, whch made me love this song even more. Sly did a version of this song on Mike Douglas show and commented on how the bass players did a good job playing on the TV version (see video: Sly walks off the set back to his seat at the end of the song, and the band plays on). My point: I truly love this song! Your version here is exceptionally well done. Outstanding guitar play, wonderful vocals; nice jazzy arrangements... Two points of feedback: a) I would have loved if you had used a live bass in this arrangement... b) please don't clown around with movement (it ain't dancing) while playing this song, it really cheapened this video for me. nice job sirs! 7/9/18

[@ElyJaffeMusic]

Thanks! We just having fun, you know.. but noted :)

[@timbrendelson3911]

Love'n it! Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous Job! And on a song that I love to hear Sly sing. I never thought I would enjoy a different rendition than his, but really nice.

[@ElyJaffeMusic]

Thanks a lot! 😊

That was a really slick cover! And the editing was just as slick..well done.

[@ElyJaffeMusic]

Thank you! 😊

[@SailorBlue1492]

Anybody know what scales did these guys use to play over these super cool yet basic chords? Am7, Gm7 C9, F7, E7 the white guitar starts out in a pentatonic scale type thang and then blue guitar does the weird jazzy stuff with the sharps and flats.

[@stofferrussell]

They'd be mega impressed with that tribute. Well done lads!

[@96jaguar0]

Nice!

[@mazatl3]

Excelentes riffs!

[@pedrof.7821]

That's a huge fella :) Great work!

[@HarveyHarvey1958]

This is now my favorite version of this Sly Stone tune. Would love to know what setting you are using on your guitars.

[@Powershotknecht]

nice!

[@mikealfonso2307]

Wow, you guys nailed it! Both guitars complemented each other. Just the ending...Otherwise perfect, that's the way to cover a song!

[@chriscrookes7773]

Yeah! Nice...

[@takumikiyama3835]

If you want me to stay I'll be around today To be available for you to see But I am about to go And then you'll know For me to stay here I got to be me You'll never be in doubt That's what it's all about You can't take me for granted and smile Count the days I'm gone Forget reachin' me by phone Because I promise I'll be gone for a while And when you see me again I hope that you have been The kind of person....that you really are now Got to get in straight How could I ever be late When you're my woman taking up my time Whoa, oh how could I ever allow I guess I wonder how I could get out a pocket for fun (HOW HOW) When you know that you're never number two Number one's gonna be number one Ohh oww oohh I'll be good I wish I could I get this message over to you now [Outro] And when you see me again I hope that you have been The kind of person....that you really are now I'll be so good I wish I could I get this message over to you now

[@thecurlnursemo]

Sounds good to me!

[@starw60]

great

[@frlsh]

Can someone please tell me what the third chord is in the progression? C9sus?

[@pedroparussolo9723]

How does the vocal sound só cristal clear? Could you share the production technique?

[@ElyJaffeMusic]

hi, no real secret... just a good mic, its the avantone cv-12, and the important thing is singing correctly into it, the proper gain on the gain, and a decently quiet room. I dont think we did do much mixing on this, maybe some eq and compression and stuff. thanks!

[@pedroparussolo9723]

nice! it sounds so good! what is your peak level when recording (in -db)? how do you adjust the gain?

[@JesusHernandez-mx9xb]

Hey man I would love if you make a tab video for this

[@swhiser1764]

Nice cut, boys.

[@rence822]

Is that Logic Pro in the back during the solo

[@ElyJaffeMusic]

yep

[@vrod2144]

Niceeeee :)

[@Thedeadringr]

Could someone tab the soloing throughout the video?

[@Thedeadringr]

Actually, it'd be great if you could tab the whole thing. Thanks

[@scotthamilton8981]

Deadringr if u could to even attempt to play that u wouldn't be asking for tabs...

[@vieri031]

The scale, the scale!

No soul at all, You took A very funky song and turned it into something nobody should ever have to hear... not ever

[@1954telecaster]

racist perhaps but I have pitch-perfect hearing and this ain't shit

[@manuelsuarez2984]

lol you don't even have any content I would like to see you play anything at all of this caliber. They took a song and completely made it their own. A real musician doesn't put another down, and if one does be ready to back your shit up, especially when these motherfuckers killed this shit lol. It's fucking Jazzy and smooth.
