I wish there were more people like the Duke: kind, smart, funky and inspired... The world would be a better place !

I never met George Duke, but I love George Duke!!!!❤️

George and Richard Tee were the most soulful pianists I ever heard.

What a likeable man

Miss you big guy😥

a national treasure.

NOT bragging, but I have been blessed to have jammed with PRINCE, GEORGE CLINTON and PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC, LARRY GRAHAM and GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION, THE REVOLUTION and many others. THIS guy and James Brown are the TWO I REALLY HATE I missed working with...maybe in the resurrection of I make it there. Peace✌

George Duke; you are a 'MASTER MUSICIAN'. A blessing to behold. I play videos of you constantly. A pure 'genius' at work!!

Love Dukey, sweet man. Awesome musician. Love ya George. RIP

A true legend RIP George Duke ! You will be missed greatly man.

...we can't imagine what this master has left behind in his library of music...i truly admired this man and his music.....parents this is a reason why you should give your child an instrument.........

Pure genius. r.i.p. master musician.You live on. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

One of the most painful piece of News that I ever heard was the passing of this astonishing melodic composer/ arranger George Duke. Right up there with Herbie, Chic, Miles, and Lyle!!! I own just about everything he released and his incredible work with Frank Zappa! Dukey the greatest! 👍😊

...one of my musical heroes. ...miss your brilliance Mr. Duke.

Mr. George you will truly be missed. Real funky,soulful and pure genius .Thank you so much. Rest in peace.

An awesome discussion and interview, with the trailblazer, George Duke! Continue to rest in power, sir. We honor you! / 👏🏿❤️💯💯

Beautiful Musician and Master of his craft.. Rest peacefully Master George Duke! Thank you for the great music!

George is being very modest. He's a monster! right up there with both Herbie and Chick..

I almost had the chance to meet Mr. Duke my dad had the chance to share the stage with him on his show I was shocked when I heard my dad experience he met him serval times I'm glad my good friend John Roberts did a song with him on his album!!! glad I still have your music u are my first go 2 when I have writer's block!!!

George was so cool. RIP

R.I.P. George Duke

I am a true G.Duke fan throughout all of his productions from the 60's until his untimely death. I am looking forward to grabbing this collection from NI. Just noticed Duke's son and wife(RIP) in the background in this video. Thanx for this footage.

There is only one George Duke!

My favorite keyboard player

he did so much for music. He will live forever

Class act and Gentleman who knows his craft. RIP GD

Such a genius and innovator,This is what true musicianship is all about,its cats like Duke,Quincy,Stanley Clarke,Herbie Hancock,Miles Davis that defined what the term artist is unlike today.

George Duke is not dead. he’s alive digitally as we all watch this

Thank you for sharing your amazing gift with us, George!

what an interesting, witty, intelligent, entertaining man

I miss I love

George describing Herbie and Chick Correa’s playing styles compared to his is so cool. He’s totally right I’ve just never heard it described in words. Talking about clavinets and rhodes too 😩 thanks for posting this

ONE OF THE GREATEST.... RIP

Tears! I've been a fan of this man's music since before I was born, because George Duke was one of VERY FEW musicians played in my household. My Dad was a HUGE jazz lover, and George was one of his All Time Favs... my parents often told me how when I was still in the womb, my Dad would play G. Duke for me every time I started to kick in my Mom's belly, lol. #RIPMr.Duke.

The guy from whom I learnt how to do the Funk Jazz thing!!

I really do think that the Kennedy Center Honors should honor George Duke even if he's not with us but his sons could take his award to honor his legacy.

so amazing RIP

Miss him so much.... ♡

R.I.P> to a legend

Wow!! What a sweet guy. A genius soul. Love you George Duke! Hope to see you on the other side :)

So damn good. Love you George.

George!

Gracias por todo genio... descansa en los brazos del Creador

Thanks for this.

Such a cool video! The scope of George's musical knowledge is unimaginable. Thanks for sharing!

RIP hero...

Super Bad Sir George Duke.

Lovely man! Thank you.

This was great if I could ever get that library man o man. Big Frank Zappa fan and so glad George went along with Frank cause look at that music I read that Frank pushed George to work on one word at a time something like that to get him to sing so he did and you see you get Inca Roads from that .... Ive taught myself how to read music and its mostly due to wanting to be more serious and not let someone else have that over me Cause you gotta want to do it and think ya can and if you can sing and then know the music by heart and its written out Such as Inca Roads then you can put the tune on look at the music follow along and literally see what the notes are as you sing it and follow along an if you can sing the pitch as you read the notes that helps your ear see what your eyes are seeing .. lol also I had this mental block that lifted on leapyear cant explain but I had issues on where to play the notes then it dawns on me well if its already written out and you can hear it then you find the range and find each note and you play as you read in that register or range of neck on guitar. If it sounds low then ya gotta find the notes and then just let your fingers go to those as you read them and learn it in that area. Just that alone helped me free up and just go ok it does not matter find the best range where it sounds best and put the eyebrows too it ... Frank called it that and Frank would do things like play naturals and intervals then play flats and the intervals and if your not really paying attention you will mess up man you gotta know where every note is on the neck of the guitar so you can do that anywhere on the fretboard. Same deal if your playing bass or Piano your reading that and having to really concentrate. Dare I say Piano is easier but you can see the melody Guitar is upside down and facing away from you and you have two octave ranges so honestly to read like a monster you gotta know every note on the fingerboard and be able to sing it and play it and call it out....in any range or position .. I still have issues playing music ive not heard before but at least im seeing the notes and calling them out also trying to instantly see chord shapes for 135 351 513 to call the inversion out and you can see them someone said remember 135 then 34 and 43 so the 135 is stacked in 3rds 351 would have 4 spaces then 3 spaces and 5 1 3 would have 3 spaces then 4 spaces. So its gotta be one of the 3 shapes then you start looking at line to line or space to space or line to space space to line interval spacings and you start to see those patterns so your kinda attacking it from several angles to get it. So if you study triads in all keys you would see whats sharp or flat and if you see the patterns you can see oh with the left hand 135 or 1 5 and then right hand would not be that but rather 1st inversion 351 or 2nd 513 shape. that helps you see chords faster if all 3 notes are on a line or space from each other then 135 shape if you have space and space then space to line 34 shape and if you have space to line then to line 43 shape.. it starts to be auto matic and if your eyes can make your fingers see the same thing then you just might be able to learn Inca Roads also and sing it. but ya gotta think you can I tell you what I had the greatest feeling in the world when it clicked and I realized oh you already are singing it Ron and you just needed to look at the notes on paper to see what they are.. and you can do it too.. If you know this music already and sing along with it and hum the melodies in your head get the books and follow along learn the notes and go to a piano and figure where its at.. then do it on bass and guitar. Bass clef F clef Treble clef G clef both for piano Bass clef only for bass and G clef for guitar.. learn both and play all 3.. do it..

So cool and down to earth! Musically just genius.........:)

Kennedy Center of Honors should give him awards since he no longer with us. C'mon Debbie Allen make it so.

The master George Duke the fusion king is dead so sad!

rip

Me too

First of all, my condolences on the passing of this giant of ALL MUSIC. Now, how to I use this plug in to make music THAT IS NOT LOOP ORIENTED? Is this just for people using loops to rap over? I really want to use this, but I can't find a tutorial that actually uses this plug in to MAKE MUSIC using a DAW to accompany a song with chords already written, or how to use this in a live situation.

What record is he referring to at 4:30?

what a nice guy
