I'm a piano player, I know the music theory quite well and during the pandemic I decided to learn guitar by myself. It's easy to understand music theory on piano, but it's harder to implement it in practise. For guitar, it's the opposite. It's harder to understand the music theory, but once you learn it, it's like a superpower. It's a worthy investment of your time people. Learn it and learn it well.
I've been playing since age 9, 30 years now....makes me feel old. I was raised rock and classic country, reggae skate punk as a teen, jazz band in HS, performed live my whole life, know theory....I can't play the piano worth a damn lol. My mom played and her dad tuned pianos and gave pro lessons to some famous players but I just can't translate to the ivory as fast.
@antonkonyukhov2667 Patterns are more obscured on piano, at least for me. Example: You learned the phrygian dominant scale in one key and want to play it in every key on piano. On guitar, you just move the shapes. On piano, you need to notice it and apply different fingering for most other keys. You can't rely on muscle memory anymore
@@kamilchosta5526 Yes, it's reasonable for some cases. I think it's a matter of experience and habit, because for me it's easier to build a chord on the piano than on the guitar as all notes are visible and well structured. But I suppose, if you are more comfortable with guitar -- this instrument suits you better
I'm not that familiar with R&B guitar, just whatever I picked up from Hendrix songs/lessons and a teenie tiny bit of jazz, so this was a pretty densely packed lesson for me. I've spent literally hours digesting it. It's what I've been looking for. You're like the StitchMethod of R&B/Neo-soul guitar lessons to his blues. He breaks down the music theory in a blues context exceptionally well the same way you are with these chords and embellishments. Thank you for this! You got another sub. Gonna spend the next week diving into your videos.
Great lesson. To be transparent with you I'm really new when it comes to chord playing/theory. I hardly know the basic A - G chords lol. I do understand others may be a bit more experienced but as a beginner this is too advance for me. Any chance you have a Neo Soul tutorial with a shorter progression and easier chords? Thanks for your content, we really appreciate it!
Great video and lesson. I love the simple way you taught the music theory. If only my college professors made it that simple when I was in school lol. Very easy to follow and straightforward. Maybe a little fast at certain points for beginners but there’s rewind so.... love your channel man! Keep putting out cool stuff like this.
I like your use use of spicy altered chords. I am learning a lot from your videos. having a working knowledge of theory allows me to understand what you are saying/doing. watching and hearing on a video is a better way for me to learn than just from a book or chord charts. thank you!
Greetings, i am so glad i came across your work..it has really opened up my fret board...i have never heard of neo soul until months ago..and i am addicted ..your explainatons of options is , for me eady to relate..im trying all your entry level chord progressions..and my fingers are doing things i never thought i could do...im enjoying these lessons..thank you for your hard work and well broken down chord options and discriptions..its so much more than just the chord ..be well.....mahalo
the cool thing about the 1st inversion triad at @7:45 is the root note one fret up on the 6th string. I like the idea of playing the M4 or the m2 with the xx1113 shape with the tonic in the bass
I think I just came up with a song. It will take me months for playing it fluently, though. Perhaps a couple of tendonitis therapy sessions as well. But it will be worth it :)
Good morning! As always, thank you for your shared videos. Even when I am away from my beloved guitar, the music being played kn the background is always beautiful. I havent finished this morning's video yet, but so you provide tabs for your students and viewers? If you ever need help putting them together, I would be more than willing to help put them in beautiful .PDF and .DOC formats in a pretty and easily legible file with a nice bow on top. Could also convert them to be read on tablets; iPad and Kindle. Could use a break from other things, and I'm sure that it would be a fun experience. Love - Jody & the Kids

How can i get this sound from my guitar? I got only guitar and interface and guitar rig, but it lacks for that kind of rnb sound (Its distorted too much or noisy, or just not clean)
Cool lesson but as someone on the newer end of learning guitar this was sort of hard for me to follow. If you had kept up with the chord diagrams throughout the lesson I think it would have been more clear to me. The video started to feel a little music theory heavy the further it went and I got lost.
Unfortunately I can’t hold half of these chords I’ve been trying finger exercises for months now and I’ve been tryna force myself to practice harder chords bc I like them but I’m just not smooth at transitioning and I don’t have much control of my pinky or ring finger yet but I’m also stuck in a rough spot bc the really beginner lessons are so boring I hate the chords and it’s not really the style of music I like I love neo soul indie folk bedroom pop but I struggle to make any songs are really even play half of the chords ;(
How do you get the notes to ring out with your pinky embellishments? I'm trying to pull-off which rings out okay, but then I can't get the rest. And thank you for your content!
So frustrating. It sounds amazing but this is nothing even near beginners. And I’ve been playing for over a year. Please. We need something for seriously beginning beginners. Not intermediate beginners.
