- www.kerryskamp... Today, I'm sharing an R&B Guitar Lesson, where I'm going to show you how you can practice both chords and riffs. To demonstrate practically how to do this, I've chosen the song, Playing Games by Summer Walker. It's basically a 4 four-chord loop, but there are a lot of things you can work on to improve your playing with those 4 chords!

Thanks for watching the lesson. Post your comments below...and don’t forget to subscribe!
Dude, if you can do let it go by summer walker that would be the move
Hi Kerry, my name is Vincent and I have learn a lot from your videos. I’m from Bham too. My goal is play at the church.
I’m a 57 year old semi-beginner, I love R & B and love your lessons. Thank you for these videos and lessons.
Finally a channel dedicated to actual r&b! (not “neo -soul”).
“Let’s just be” by neyo/Miguel jontel tutorial would be dope
Dope
So there's a real difference? I always thought Neo soul was the modern name that kids who never bother to hear 90's R&B gave to the genre...So i was like "Ppl claims that ichika nito plays r&b but i dont feel its even close to It, more like Math rock thing"
basically taught me all i know thanks kerry 🙏🏾
Good deal!
I'm not going anywhere. Thank you Jesus I'm learning.
Haha awesome
THIS IS ALL FOOD! FOOD! I'M GONNA BE SIGNING UP FOR THE KAMP TODAY!
Love your playing and Teaching. GOD BLESSINGS
So dope man.
Thank you Kerry! I'm a producer, who hasn't been playing guitar for almost 20 years (almost only keys when producing), but I always wanted to play R&B guitar. To my suprise, after watching just few tutorials, training for just few hours and learning just few chord shapes I'm able to play songs that I love listening to on my own! I'm actually shocked how many great songs can be played using simple 7th chords combined with some arpeggiation etc.
100% Straight Soul!!! 🙏❤ 🙌
I love these lessons, man. This the original Curtis Mayfield style which is found not only in R&B, but also in Jimi Hendrix ("Little Wing") and John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers ("Under the Bridge"). If anybody was doing this stuff before Curtis, I don't know who it would have been. He was doing it in 1961 with the Impressions ("Gypsy Woman"), and he may have done it even earlier than that.
I;ve been playing metal for almost 15 years. it took me over an hour to learn these chords because i've never used them. Thank your for making this vid.
Gawleeee thats beautiful
I'm on the late show,... this is great.
You're a great teacher !! You help me add flavor to my playing !! Thank you Kerry❤
Hey my brother these are some awesome chords I like to play different progressions with all the different chords I learn from you keep them coming (you are the man) blessing one in times. 🙏🏾
Summer Walker riff....omg!!!!
So smooth..... ;~) Thank you for your inspirations,.
Great teaching
This was a really beautiful tutorial, Sir Kerry, I have been struggling with hammer-ons and pull-offs for R&B but everything literally just changed while watching this particular tutorial. Thank you so much, been following your channel for a while now and I just watch and I'm amazed at your skill every single time but even more amazing today as I could join you. Please keep up the good work and I'll happily support this channel in any way I can.
This looks like the prefect song to practice to build pinky finger hammer on strength.
Smooth az always love it! love the cords 0730 here in New Zealand at work and just want to go home a practice this songs might have to pull a sicky 😁 bless you 🙏
Just found you sir. This is the channel i been looking for. No one i ever followed knew songs I love and my wife loves like this. I played in many bands. Filled up the bar. But i always wanted to do r and b influenced stuff but everyone just was doing the indie thing 08 in college bar scenes.
Played in school bands and majored in music in college. I joined a band instead of graduating and hit it. That made me short on my theory. You teach the theory and the cool stuff. Gotta have both! Cheers ill be around! Good stuff bro. Keep making shit, ill keep putting in the work.
Definitely check out Kerry's Kamp! I think you'll love it...even more in depth material. www.kerryskamp.com/
Dope video! Thanks for the tips! Just subscribed!
OMG man this is pure gold, absolutely loving this lesson!
My Favorite song to cover🔥
I like blues or bluesy pop. John Mayer, David Ryan Harris, etc...
I. Like that Isaiah sharkey ,jarius monzee and spanky alford vibe
You are Amazing, something this simple is not easy. Thanks
You’re a great instructor. I really enjoy the way you slow things down.
Such a sexy progression with those hammers! This has flavor...I need your lessons!

💪 Xtra nice
Came here from JUNO the artist’s channel
sick introo Kerry!
Thank you. I'm learning so much from your videos. This is helping me break out of my box and inspire me to play new things on guitar!
Love your channel so much!!! Thank you for everything haha.. Many blessings to you and your family
One of my best RnB songs of all time tbh. Thanks for holding the tutorial down as always.
Please do Sacrifices by Dreamville!
Thanks for a great tip 2 smooth. I certainly will add this technique to my playing.
Kerry u making so much sense keep the good work up brother!!!
seen you playin this guitar at the stardome for Rickey Smileys Karaoke night dope as usual
Best Part by HER and Daniel Caeser is a good one to practice to too :)
Thanks for making videos in this niche, man. Can you do a video on how to play r&b on an acoustic guitar? Like, stuff you should know, what’s easier, what’s harder, what to be aware of, etc.
From Zambia🇿🇲🇿🇲 learning 🙌
Kerry,
No Man Is An Island by The Vandykes. Al McKay is the guitar player on this one. Good song to practice those hammer ons' and pull offs.
I’m discovering your content. It’s all approachable so far. The foundational chords, riffs and progressions are what I’m working on.
Would you do a lesson on the chord progression for Sara Smile by Hall & Oats? This is an excellent lesson. Thank you
Going to learn this ASAP!!!
01:06 🔥🔥🔥🔥 hooooo this is lit
Thanks! Hope you try it yourself!
Thank you once again .
Bring back the jam sessions please!!😢
I love sza, I think guitar would sound great with her
I would love if you played something by Kem!!
My suggestion the best of my love by t-connection
I think it would be most helpful to explain the thought process behind these chord progressions. Like from a FUNCTION stand point. For me personally that way i can become a better writer.
The thought behind the progression is this, it’s the actual chords in the song. I didn’t do anything special, I taught the song.
Love the channel and song choice. One question tho what's happening at the end of the Bm7 chord with the high e string. Are you hammering on the note with the pinky or muting the string
Thank you so much my man!
I really need to watch closely where the hammer ons are played and wht order the strings are played in a order. I may need to head to your earlier video
Hey bro those are some very good cords I love to mix up your cord progressions with all the different cords I have learned from you this is just what I need blessing My Bro .🙏🏾
Good deal!
Brian McKnight's Songs are pretty good. Shoulda Woulda Coulda is an example.
That guitare looks amazing
Good job brother
wheel gun fanboy thanks
I like the sliding concept when I move to another chord the song stops momentarily until I hit the next chord
Lay your head on my pillow by Toni Tony tone. Pls teach us.
Could you teach Donell Jones Shorty or This Luv would be dope!
Love that sound
What kind of effects are you using?
Thanks
Hi Kerry, would you please cover Toni-Toni-Tone's "Thinking of You" ? (Spanky Alford Styling)
Acoustic guitar r&b bar chord trills
I. Like that Isaiah sharkey ,jarius monzee and spanky alford vibe
Hey Kerry much appreciated I’m new to your channel really enjoying the gems. Could you do a lesson on how to mute strings in between transitioning to the chords. And maybe a tutorial for little ghetto boy Donny Hathaway 😅 thanks in advance greetings from Amsterdam
Dude lets get some rod wave in there. Don’t get me wrong, I love all your content. I just wanna play a few songs I normally listen to for guitar vibes.
Good stuff. Would love a tutorial on Good & Plenty by Alex Isley.
Song is in the key of D Major. 6-3-4-2 progression.....I think.
That's exactly right 👌🏼
Please try sugar brockhampton
Hey Kerry, how would you play the double stops & lead embellishments in Calvin Richardson's Can't Let Go?
A song I recommend for you to practice riffs and chords is a song by Rileyy Lanez calling marry me I think you love it, thanks for the lesson
Junior Bodkin dope
Do you know the chords for that song?
This is so awsome It helped alot, you putting the chords in order during the video .When doing the riff in the middle was that just the major scale?
The song is in D major but since he is starting in B minor, you can play the B minor scale, same notes. Just a different feel.
I always associate everthing with the manor scale also
can youn teach us the song of kamau far away
I love this a lot. I’m exactly not on chords just yet but I’m trying to keep myself progressive through one finger playing riffs if that makes sense bc/ the stretch of my fingers aren’t there just yet. So I stay away from chords bc/ of it rn. I don’t get that whole 1 finger stretch that shows when you’re showing the chords on the scale...could you possibly explain that to me??
Also I learned a little bit of Cleo Sol - Young Love but I’d also like to see songs from her like Her Light & Sideways played by someone. I love your soul selection btw. I’ve never come across a guitar player whose been on songs to the T for R&B songs.
Could you play "freakn you" by Jodeci?
I’ll add it to the list.
@@Kerry2smooth cheers i appreciate that.
It Dec 2020
You said no matter what what you always play in a Major even if the song is in minor.
How can this be? What is your thinking as major is a happy tone, and major is a sad tone.?
I think of that clashing like
A Walt Disney Funny Carton at a real funeral... A big musical CLASH !
So please ,explain ?
Thank you for the way you teach R&B !
How about this song by Tank called “THIS” I think the progression is solid but it has room to throw that sauce you be talking about in there! Simple enough to work around different concepts.
Hi. I like this video. Would you be able to do a tutorial of "Rock Your Baby" by George Mccrae. 1974 version. In RUclips it has a picture of a 45 rpm record with a yellow sticker on it. The other versions are live and the guitar parts aren't as distinct as on this one. Thanks. Leo.
Not really a "guitar based song"... but, could you add to "you gotta be" - by Des'ree ?
Dope
I got a good old tune for you Kerry, I would love to pick this up, not sure if you want to tackle it, but here goes, it's a tune called "No Matter What" by a group called "Pleasure" if you remember them, I've done the bass to it, but I find myself wondering about the guitar work involved, since I'm really getting into my guitar work now, what do you think, can you handle this one? I'd really love to see you break this one down and the education that this one could yield, has to be ridiculously phenomenal..
awesome video! quick question, with the pinkie hammer ons, how do you know which frets to use? is it the notes in the chord?
Alicia Keys - if I ain’t got u - it really gets u to play and sing with transitions to other chords that u might not be comfortable with
Can you teach us the intro to Whatever You Want by tony toni tone?
What are you doing with your 5th finger?
Idk if its just me but trying to get every note to ring out clearly while playing bar chords is extremely difficult... any tips/ suggestions?
Great insight, slow the elaboration please.
I'm still a beginner but my issues is my hands I think. Their not long and it's at least at the present hard to get my third finger to not interfere with the other strings. What can I do to improve this? Trying to show improvement but I keep touching/muting the other strings
So song is in key of b minor?
What effect are you using for the sound?
Your lessons are great. There is so much we can learn from you. But the audio quality of your voice is very muddy in comparison to your guitar. Have you ever thought to use a microphone to get a better quality?
Rod wave
Doesn't your index finger hurt from those slides?
Hey Kerry, when you are sliding to F#m7, are you fretting all the notes in the chord? Seems quite hard to do especially on barre chords.
That's exactly what he's doing. It is a little tricky to do, but with practice you'll get it. And it's definitely easier to do on an electric, but just make sure your action is nice and low
Ro James permission...what's good with a progression or tutorial g??
Could you make the backing tracks for us
