Seeing as I am a music professor and I like to react to things ;-) I thought I would do a "Music Professor Reacts to Neo Soul Guitarists | What They Doing and Not Doing. This video is about some neo soul guitarists and see if they are any good. JulestheWulf, Kazuki Isogai, and Achmed Satria. These 3 guitarists are AMAZING. It's just that simple. The use a plethora of different and expressive techniques. It was inspiring and exciting to dissect what it was they were doing. I think I actually got better for having done it! There are some great neo soul licks in here.
I cover one of the more obvious distinctions between neo soul and gospel guitar. This is one big r&b neo soul guitar lesson and I hope ye enjoy it!

Grunge is great

@thatonetyeguy2330 Год назад

Honestly learning stuff like neo soul and jazz harmony and math rock Harmony has helped my creativity (and my general understanding of music) quite a lot. Reason being is simply knowing these chords and how they work helps you stand out from other people. General music theory, she'll voicings, extended chords, inversions, implied chords, etc.

@sethforesi307 Год назад

@DaveManleyguitar 3 года назад

The F natural on E- is ok and diatonically correct since, so it’s a nice color tone. b9’s on 1/2 diminished chords happen all the time in the harmony and melody

@streetwiseguitar5113 3 года назад

IMHO I believe looking at it from that (jazz guy) perspective, sure it works. However, from a stylistic and totally diatonic perspective, it sounds like a clanker to me - and as I said, I'm a "jazz guy," too. Oh well, thanks again for watching. That means a lot to me!

@atlantaguitar9689 2 года назад

I'm generally a fan of neo-soul guitar so I have few complaints. On the other hand guys like Curtis Mayfield and Hendrix were basically creating much of the vocabulary for it decades ago. That's not to say that there haven't been some great guitarists recently who have been doing interesting and innovative things with double stops and chordal lead style. There are some really talented new guitarists out there! However, I saw a guy basically playing a solo guitar version of Axis Bold As Love and doing a fine job of it though when I later spoke with him he denied it was Axis or even knowing the song! Who knows, maybe he didn't. Wasn't gonna argue about it. He certainly had lots of those Hendrix licks down in a way that he could riff off of them on demand which was impressive.

@Picksqueal Год назад

My ears immediately perked up on the m9 (F) in Achmad's solo but not in a negative way yours seem to have. Which is unusual for me given I'm not a fan of this interval in general. Maybe it's not only because it resolved down relatively quickly but also because it felt almost like a suspension from the previous Fmaj7 chord.

@streetwiseguitar5113 Год назад

Hey Devin! It could be all the years spent in the ivory tower that made it perk up for me. Mind you, I have no aversion to suspensions that are resolved… I think just where it happened.

You need some compression to play these kind of things I think. Otherwise it's hard for the single notes to sound as loud as the chords. Especially when the tapping parts come into play. That's what I think. Is that true by any chance?

What size strings works best for neo soul??

@streetwiseguitar5113 2 года назад

Elijah!!! Great question. I think 9s at the lowest and 11s at the highest. If I was playing that style all the time I could make 8s work. Then again...the GUITAR matters A LOT! If you play 8s on a strat with a stiff trem, they feel like 9s. If you play 8s on a Gibson scale, they'll feel like 7.5s. So the scale of your guit. must be factored in.

What a lot of neosoul players are missing is the booty, the church and the sound of the streets they're missing the rawness. Isaiah Sharkey has it though but nobody is quite like spanky

@streetwiseguitar5113 2 года назад

Good points! Trust me, all of that stuff is not lost on me as I was considering making a comparison between gospel guitar and Neo soul. There is that schism between the two that clearly denotes one side is having church and The other side knowing there are churches that exist but that’s about the length of it! I decided not to go down that rabbit hole. Neo soul is definitely something other than gospel guitar, although there are players that straddle that line.

@@streetwiseguitar5113 I'll say that most of the guitarists in instagram now sound the same. It's clear that most haven't studied players like Joe Pass, West Montgomery, Hendrix, George Benson and jazz and blues. The genre is loosing its flavour. In my honest opinion blues and pentatonics is overlooked by the modern guitarist who on average play 3nps and come from metal. I think it's almost seen as hipster to play Neosoul now.

When it comes to Neo Soul harmony, understand that it comes from 80s hip hop. So 80s hip hop largely sampled rnb/funk/jazz from the 60s and 70s. So cut a chord here and there and paste them into a loop. Western music theory wasn't really followed. Well re-enter musicians, they're like, no need to sample we can still play this stuff. So in the 90s we get this rnb,funk,jazz hiphop music. A new musical culture was created.

"No blues in neo soul". My ears must be broken because it's Bluesy AF to me. There's no straight elements that a blues purist would say "aha! There's the blues" which is what I think you mean. But it is really bluesy in tone and feel and even that phrase off the minor chord into a minor pentatonic is...well... bluesy... I'm very curious to know when the term Neo Soul was first used. I have only encountered it very recently and I have heard this kind of guitar playing for a very long time in various forms. I am very at home with this style because it reflects the kind of thing I like to play when I pick up the guitar. It's a bit of everything trying to be original and melodic. It fascilitates a lot of room for feel because you don't be strictly blues or jazz or soul or rock even... You just play guitar and try to make it sit nice...y'know? I love it. Now I know it's an actual thing I'm rather happy. It does seem to have aquired a label after the fact though. Like when people say Black Sabbath were the first Doom Metal band. Retrospectively true.

I love the tone and musicality in Neo Soul. My only comment is that many players seem to have completely developed alone in bedrooms instead of playing with singers and bands, and therefore they tend to over play.

@kensmechanicalaffair 2 года назад

Most people that tag a style neo-soul have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. New soul is something that started with a slimmer version of the usual huge orchestra. What people today refer to as neo soul today is a collection of gospel quartet movements placed over a hip rhythm, it's basically chill out music, and it's also corny and has been appropriated. Artist like Jill Scott, music soul child, D'Angelo are a more appropriate example of new soul. But let the appropriation do what's it been doing for a century...scratch a itch.
