The Ultimate Neo Soul/R&B Guitar Compilation (Pt.II) 

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

Neo-Soul Guitar a.k.a. BUTTERFINGERS 'Cause all of these were damn smooth.

watching this makes me think either to stop playing guitar or practice much harder

"The Ultimate LoFi Sample Compilation (Pt.II)"

FOR ANYONE WONDERING WHAT THE SONG AT 0:43 IS ITS Achmad Satria - try out.

There's something abut RNB and Soul music, everybody wants to be a part of it.

2:20 unreal!!

I seen Melanie Faye and I clicked as fast I could

0:00, 0:41 and 12:47 are the best in my opinion...

that second guitarist. i need to know how to play that

Me: watch the video *throws my guitar in the garbage bin*

I appreciate the love!

What an honour to be mentioned alongside these legends. You sir, are too kind! Again, love the video!

That Kaspar Jalily guy is dope!

Enjoy the video everyone, here are the timestamps for each guitarists 1 | 0:01 - Ashton Sellars 2 | 0:41 - Achmad Satria 3 | 1:37 - Kaspar Jalily 4 | 2:36 - Kerry Marshall 5 | 3:36 - Tom Misch 6 | 3:51 - Jairus Mozee 7 | 4:44 - Todd Pritchard 8 | 5:16 - Tiana O'Hara 9 | 5:55 - Tom Misch 10 | 6:11 - Beau Diakowicz 11 | 6:30 - Gene Caberra 12 | 7:07 - Magnus Klausen 13 | 7:41 - Todd Pritchard 14 | 8:04 - Kaspar Jalily 15 | 9:03 - Beau Diakowicz 16 | 9:17 - Tom Misch 17 | 10:17 - Todd Pritchard 18 | 10:42 - Alec Lehrman 19 | 11:37 - Todd Pritchard 20 | 12:23 - Beau Diakowicz 21 | 12:47 - Todd Pritchard 22 | 13:21 - *Melanie Faye* 23 | 15:55 - Kristof Neyens

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 so glad Neo Soul is still around. Could've left a gold mine behind!

Kasper Jalil is NICE !

The first two players pulled my heartstrings... liquid melodic !

Ouuuuuuuuugh... That's hot man. Pretty dope reaction at 2:01 my heartbeat was reaching a climax. Thanks for sharing that Simon !

I 've just listened music today for the first time.

Man dude at 9:30 imma learn how to do that exact shit 😩✊🏿

Me: slowly and hopeful looking at my ukulele. My ukulele: *you're pathetic*

Wow a few years ago this was just quartet style gospel guitar playing with Spanky Alfred and Jarius mozee. now it's called neo soul once something becomes trendy it gets a new name and everything. LOL

My girl melanie faye deserves to be the cover🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 u go I'm proud of uuuuu

Why are all people that play neo soul attractive looking?

I should practice instead of watching better people 😂

First one was in Rod waves album. song called Close Enough to hurt

0:00 IN THIS LIFE I'VE BEEN SCARRED..

The maj7 has never felt so abused

7:42 Search Djavan (Brazil)

I appreciate all of these people, such beautiful music creation. You're all amazing and cheers Simon for the compilation.

I'm aiming to reach their levels

Life is simple.....I see Melanie Faye, I Click.

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.

You be thuggin through the lonely nights 😌 if ykyk

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.

Kaspar jali... Really got my full att.

Where can I learn this type of guitar genre? and youtube channels/ tutorials where I can learn?

5:58 chills all over ugh

The second song (0:41) is 'Try It', an original by Achmad Satria, an indonesian prodigy. i think i deserve a like. 😘

Neo soul=Smooth Jazz 😅

Kaspar Jalily is ABSOLUTELY invited to the cookout

Tom Misch ❤🙌🏾🎸

Man I love this guitar sound and style. I hear this in a lot of gospel.👍👍

wish that first guy would stop looking at me like that

2:20 to 2:27 omfg... ill forever fear not being able to play like this from now on :(

I like to think of neo soul as modern jazz

Thanks for compiling these.

Best : 00:46 Achmad / 8:05 Kaspar / 9:17 Tom Misch / 11:41 Todd Prichard /

Nobody: Me as soon as the video starts: IN THIS LIFE IN BEEN SCAAAAARRRRRED

Watches compilation: *Trying to get my acoustic guitar to sound like this*

wonder if anyone has sampled stuff like this and charted without the players knowing it. can't sample the dookie faces though, when the stuff is extra good!

10:43 heeeey! How does it feel By: D'Angelo

When the world of black guitarists are finally being celebrated 🙌

Kasper went off

its just a bunch of chords and hammer ons untill it sounds right, come on its easy you got this, don't get discouraged, just do it.

This is Gold, thanks you so much for putting this together Simon !

Don't waste your time. Best part is here >>> 13:21

Ashton Stellar was playing Rod wave x close enough to hurt

are these riffs originals? my oh my. what am i doing with my life.

YEESSS I FOUND ITTTT So This Where they got the guitar sample frommm (Rod Wave- close enough)

This is what I listen to whenever I need to zone out or I'm in my feelings

My boyfriend has been super into playing/learning an acoustic guitar and he loves neo soul/rnb guitars and I really want to buy him one for our anniversary but I have no clue on which is the best one for someone first starting out on an electric guitar. I would love some suggestions if anyone has any!!! Thank you💓

2:01, 9:17, 12:47, 13:22

Did rod wave sample the first guy or am I buggin

Imagine Alicia Keys on these 😍

the thing about us lofi artists is that these are great samples and all, but most of this is free tempo, which is a god damn *nightmare* to put a beat to.

what do i search to find music like this? like 0:43 i want a whole album of that, anyone???

“Instagram guitarists”

Anybody know what song Achmed Satria played? (0:41)

2:20 gave me goosebumps that shit was slick

@1:37 Mac DeMarco plays neo soul guitar

My man Alec was trying to FEEL that Deangelo though, ain’t even mad at him. 😂👏🏿✊🏿

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!

Jesus, this shit too much soul... if that's possible (not in a bad way either)... 👍🏿❤❤❤

12:24 What is this song?

What would be the correct guitar to buy to get this sound as a first timer

Still no Ichika....

Baeu Diakowicz and Gene caberra are my heros

Great stuff! Gives some extra inspiration to get my chops together.

do you think Achmad Satria is in standard tune? Sounds awesome

12:48

0:42〜 wow

This is the best video in all of RU-vid.

that Kaspar dude is amazing!

Everything sounds near the same vibe honestly but I guess that's the genre

Beautiful playing!!

Second guitarist made me press that like button

Um dia vou tocar assim em nome de Jesus !!!

Melanie Faye is the best

@4:46 i dunno why but this cracked tears in my eyes
