I have a R&B/neo soul guitar course up on Patreon, 2 hours of material where we go step-by-step from essential chords, techniques, and how to put it all together into baby-making music. www.patreon.com/simonplaysguitar
All that these beautiful neo-soul riffs need is anthemic vocals and song structure to go down in history, like “Little Wing”, “Wind Cries Mary”, “Tears In Heaven”, “Move On Up”, “Who’s That Lady”, and other scorching guitar-driven classics.
I'm a cranky middle-aged guy who doesn't like new stuff (generally speaking). I absolutely love this music and style! This is the first I'm hearing of it and it's nothing short of glorious and magical! I salute all of these mad-talented folks who are doing their thing! Thank you for taking music into the future!
First one has a full lush smooth style, second guy is a young talent with great ideas, third guitar player has the groove, forth player has the classic soul sounds. All of these sample bits tell us there is an emerging guitar style to look out for.
BRUTAL intros that i love: 0:41 Achmad Satria 6:10 Beau Diakawicz 7:41 Todd Pritchard And Just cacth you by feeling: 9:17 Tom Misch 13:21 Melanie Faye (she is pretty and umbeatable) Nice compilation!
Shoot higher. This is beginner stuff. It all depends on your personally goal though, so do what you please. Listen to some Paul gilbert, buckethead, Steve Vai, stevie ray Vaughan, and Eddie van Halen if you seek to be really good. Listening to technical music is the first step to become good.
@@tash5540 this is all wrong. This video is a completely different style than all the guys you listed. While I love them all, technicality doesn't make a great player. A lot of the greats learned themselves and didn't know ahit about music theory, they just played what moved them. Who says the guy you responded to is even moved by their music anyway? If he wants to learn what's in this video, all the power to him.
@@tash5540 No man this is wrong, these guys are really good (even better in harmony terms), I love the rock/metal guitarists, specially buckethead ! but they use too much pentatonic man, we need some fresh air
Tom mischs music made me feel a new emotion I never felt and I wanted more but couldn’t find out what genre it would be. Until I found it. And fuck me am I glad I did.
Hey man, there's a video on youtube that covers which scales you need (essential) for neosoul so check that out! Besides that I would say of you're still new to guitar in general try to learn alternate picking/ economy picking. It'll help you alot alot alot. Also if you're interested I plan to upload tutorials for neo soul songs and also covers :) hope this helps!
Actual playing adds sooooooooooo much to rnb that's been missing 20 years. Bring it back and I'll be right back listening. Real drums. Real guitar. PC ONLY for EDITING. No more drag and drop lucky automated "beats" bitten off of actual musicians or worse, stupid pad hits. Thanks for proving music is still the king over PC beats
@@extremezeke Haha. Not me buddy. Not many ..I am sure they serve a purpose for live situations. I cannot do "beats", I'm a bit older so there is a gen gap. Lol. Hah
@Big dookie Makes no sense at all how it is close minded...That is the problem. Fear on the part of people looking for the easy way out doesnt constitute those that have a passion to excel and learn actual organic music close minded. That makes as much sense as the sad excuse for Music today as stated above. Followers will follow..Leaders will lead. Trying to let a PC and hardware do everything is sad...
listen to j dilla my man. those pads are themselves their own instruments, and people like dilla brought those “pad hits” to life. don’t write off an entire swath of modern music from what you’ve heard on the radio. J. Dilla - Don’t Cry J. Dilla - Lightworks Slum Village - Fall in Love
hi marty i have a lesson idea for you! take a simple chord progression and scale, then show how you would manipulate that progression/scale to play in different styles. for example show how you could play C G Am F (the classic pop progression) as a rock, jazz and funk style
anytime you watch someone infinitely better than you what you're really seeing is all the time you didn't put in. please don't stop practicing :). none of this is a race and everyone started somewhere
The first vid is the main riff of "Wrong or Right" by Blxst, but this vid is from 2019 and the song was released in 2020. I wonder if Blxst just randomly found this riff and decided to use it in his song. Does anyone know? Just curious.
Ashton Sellars is mentioned in the song credits, so it's not without permission! Worth mentioning is that Rod Wave used it first in their song "Close Enough To Hurt". 🔥
what's that technique at 6:08? its sounding like a tremolo but I've seen him play it before and he just uses one finger and moves it quickly across two frets. Anyone know what that's called? I've tried doing it but I can't seem to get it right
it's not. it doesn't show it here, but I've seen him in other videos do that thing and he only uses one finger for both notes. I've seen other RnB guitarists do it too@@noisyplanet3397
I'm looking guitar parts like this for my tracks. Could you point me in the direction of someone dope like the first guy, who would do some work for me for a fee?

FOR ANYONE WONDERING WHAT THE SONG AT 0:43 IS ITS
Achmad Satria - try out.
Thankyou!
There's something abut RNB and Soul music, everybody wants to be a part of it.
So true.
Soul
Neo-Soul Guitar a.k.a. BUTTERFINGERS
'Cause all of these were damn smooth.
🤣
Lol hahahah!!
But "butter fingers" means some one who is clumsy .
Haha couldn't have said it better myself 😂
watching this makes me think either to stop playing guitar or practice much harder
I was thinking the same thing!! These guys are unreal!!
The ladder
Ima practice
Definitely practice harder.
Practice way harder... it'll pay off
0:00, 0:41 and 12:47 are the best in my opinion...
I agree with 12:47, but replace the first two time stamps with Kerry Marshall and Melanie Faye 😋
2:20 unreal!!
At first I thought it was the Pen Pineapple, Apple Pen
Improvised? Oof
Palm Muting high notes.
What's the tune? My guess is U Remind Me by Usher but could be wrong
@@XYZLMNOP yah we know it's amazing because its tricky to do that and have all the notes sound clear at the same time
What an honour to be mentioned alongside these legends. You sir, are too kind! Again, love the video!
You deserve it
It happens that you're good.. that's why... but yeah.. been humble is also cool...
You're an amazing guitarist and composer Kristof!
Yours was my favourite not trying too hard, just a vibe
@@gaodacheese4691 Thank you so much!
I'm so glad Neo Soul is still around. Could've left a gold mine behind!
No doubt.

Yes and Lenny~Stevie Ray Vaughn
Like what is John mayer in 2022?nothing new.
How's no one mentioning Curtis Mayfield, jimis main inspiration and one of the originators of this stuff!! Check him out!
I seen Melanie Faye and I clicked as fast I could
LISTEN..!
She really is the best right now, another level.
They all sound cool but her tone....is a smooth guitar player's dream.
@@jasper36 eh, debatable
She’s is why i clicked to
The first two players pulled my heartstrings... liquid melodic !

Your comment deserves more likes
@@leonardoleal5092 Good work mate. Who fancies ID the songs?
mf straight up copied my comment from 2 years ago and got a heart
Kasper Jalil is NICE !
that second guitarist. i need to know how to play that
I think it combined tapping and fingerstyle. Kinda like victor wooten uses slapping and tapping
@@plaash7396 yea i also noticed that. but is that a song or an improvisation? because it looks dope
just went to this guy instagram and he has a tutorial! check it out: @satria_stm
Andrew learn Mateus Asato’s licks and tricks.
Satria is improvising or is a song?
I would like to have that song guys 😢
First one has a full lush smooth style, second guy is a young talent with great ideas, third guitar player has the groove, forth player has the classic soul sounds. All of these sample bits tell us there is an emerging guitar style to look out for.
First guy is playing wrong or right by blxst
BRUTAL intros that i love:
0:41 Achmad Satria
6:10 Beau Diakawicz
7:41 Todd Pritchard
And Just cacth you by feeling:
9:17 Tom Misch
13:21 Melanie Faye (she is pretty and umbeatable)
Nice compilation!
do not agree
First one was in Rod waves album. song called Close Enough to hurt
I appreciate all of these people, such beautiful music creation. You're all amazing and cheers Simon for the compilation.
these are so beautiful
Ouuuuuuuuugh... That's hot man. Pretty dope reaction at 2:01 my heartbeat was reaching a climax.
Thanks for sharing that Simon !
Glad you enjoyed it!

💯🎯💯
Her part was one of my favorites to be honest. Beautiful melody
This is Gold, thanks you so much for putting this together Simon !
My pleasure!
This is the best video in all of RUclips.
I 've just listened music today for the first time.
This is so encouraging to see all these awesome players of all ages.
not to discredit anyone but 12:47 is the best chord progression. as someone who plays by ear i think i actually need tabs to figure that one out.
its amazing, i cant still work it out. what tune is it?
@@jolyonward705 no idea
Tom Misch!!!! So very soulful! Also , his silky smooth voice with a hint of accent is so very cool !
Thanks for compiling these.
All of these are beautiful
Such talent and soulful musicians. This is what practice sounds like and putting you heart in it.
Certain stuff you feel and can’t get enough of. Playing instruments does that.
Life is simple.....I see Melanie Faye, I Click.
Word, her jawn was so smooth
Same my brother 🤣👌🏾👍🏾
This is what I listen to whenever I need to zone out or I'm in my feelings
I'm aiming to reach their levels

5:58 chills all over ugh
I feel you.

Slowly falling in love with this genre
that Kaspar dude is amazing!
I despise backwards baseball caps. Or baseball caps at all.
Tom mischs music made me feel a new emotion I never felt and I wanted more but couldn’t find out what genre it would be. Until I found it. And fuck me am I glad I did.
Baeu Diakowicz and Gene caberra are my heros
Todd's "Ay" is the most chill sound in the universe.
@4:46 i dunno why but this cracked tears in my eyes
Oh that's just your soul being touched by the sound dude
You should hear the original song! Listen to “Lucille” by Anthony Hamilton
@@strangeone-gc3nz true, i still need years more practice to play something as good and as passionate as these guys

I’m a year late but I was looking through the comments like am I the only one that knows what intro this is😂😂
Jairus Mozee played at the church I used to go to. Dude is super dope on guitar...jeez.
Where can I learn this type of guitar genre? and youtube channels/ tutorials where I can learn?
Kerry 2 Smooth and Juno the Artist are two sources I like for this style. Melanie Faye too but she doesn't teach as much.
There's a neosoul guitar book sold on Amazon that seems pretty dope
Gene cabbera
Listen to a lot of R&Bs like D’angelo... and of course gospel musicians... search Jarius mozee he has DVDs out on that specific style.
Hey man, there's a video on youtube that covers which scales you need (essential) for neosoul so check that out! Besides that I would say of you're still new to guitar in general try to learn alternate picking/ economy picking. It'll help you alot alot alot.

How does it feel
By: D'Angelo
Second guitarist made me press that like button
The second song (0:41) is 'Try It', an original by Achmad Satria, an indonesian prodigy.
i think i deserve a like. 😘
My man Alec was trying to FEEL that Deangelo though, ain’t even mad at him. 😂👏🏿✊🏿
Great stuff! Gives some extra inspiration to get my chops together.
How are those chops doing?

As a clean electric guitar enthusiast, I am very glad to come across this.
I dont blame Rod Wave for grabbing that first joint 🔥🔥🔥🔥 this entire video is 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah fr
Dont know how more people dont know about it
Rod wave song?
I thought it was blxst?
0:00 is a sample from Rod Waves - Close to the Heart
Rod Wave sampled Ashton!
Man dude at 9:30 imma learn how to do that exact shit 😩✊🏿
hi marty i have a lesson idea for you! take a simple chord progression and scale, then show how you would manipulate that progression/scale to play in different styles. for example show how you could play C G Am F (the classic pop progression) as a rock, jazz and funk style
I like to think of neo soul as modern jazz
Could also be seen as an extension of triphop/ambient music and soul/r&b/gospel.
anytime you watch someone infinitely better than you what you're really seeing is all the time you didn't put in. please don't stop practicing :). none of this is a race and everyone started somewhere
2:20 gave me goosebumps that shit was slick
That's the future and we're lucky to be living it
forgot to add mateus asato good sir. love the list though!

i haven't wrote any R&B but watching your video i think learning some would give me a cool twist on my music

12:24 What is this song?
Melanie playin Honey brought back so many memories for me.
Kaspar Jalily is ABSOLUTELY invited to the cookout
Damn he should do gigs at cookouts though that would be so dope
He and Tom Misch. But Jaliky look like the type to jump in the should train line.
Kaspar was hitting it big time....
If the “cookout” isn’t for everybody then shame on you
@@vinnyvidivici5930 nah. One must be a curator of vibes to ensure a quality cookout.
They were all good but that sad melody in the first example was great.
Don't waste your time. Best part is here >>> 13:21
Not at all.
Actually is one of the most boring in all the video.
J.R. Productions I got admit, Melanie’s playing was not my favorite in this video.
