It is also known as the Hohner Clavinet. Strings in the clavinet are struck by a piece of metal which is activated by the keys. The result is a percussive, funky twang. Most digital pianos now have a clavinet setting, so if you have a keyboard, you can play \u201cSuperstition\u201d in its original sound!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intro\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Intro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We jump into the song via its iconic riff, played by the clavinet. There\u2019s also a countermelody here that\u2019s played live by the guitar. The sheet music for this section looks complex&nbsp;because there\u2019s so much syncopation. \u201cThat syncopation is what gives the music its drive and its excitement,\u201d says Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle with the sheet music, try listening to the intro a few times.
