Only One Chord Needed for Neo-Soul - FLASHBACK Lessons

#funkyneosoul #neosoulchords #neosoulchords #neosoulpiano #learnpiano

The Fundamentals of Neo-Soul Keyboard is one of the hottest and most coveted DVDs every made. Let's face it, musicians love neo-soul, because it is a genre that posses the smoothness of soul; the improvisational creativity of jazz; the grit of hip-hop; and the head-bobbing phenomena of funk.

You can't get these chords with your neighborhood piano teacher. These chords are "secret" chords that the streets possess and are shared only in underground basement shed sessions. For the first time, these secret chords will be exposed for all of it's funky glory. You get a little over an hour of the phattest neo-soul chord progressions that you hear on the radio or from your favorite neo-soul artists. We spent time in the studio showing the movements, then we took time to chart out all of the movements in a nice score. You get the MIDI files for your tracks and for your virtual MIDI viewer such as MIDIculous. Finally you get tons of theory booklets and resources so that you actually understand what you are playing. The notations are so easy to follow and very simple to understand.

From coming from a gospel background, we can all agree that musicians love neo-soul and these concepts that we teach can be applied to every urban genre of music from gospel to R&B. If you are looking to finally make some smooth grooves with your tracks and become an urban producer, then this DVD will give you all the tools to produce your first album. If you are getting a little bored with the same chords you've been playing all the time, now it's time totally transform your style by adding a touch of neo-soul to your keyboard playing!.

“Vibe is more important than key in Neo-Soul!” Woohoop 💥🎯🙌🏿💯

[malikmartin]

This is the first time ive seen a tutorial with live accompaniment. These guys rule

[brandonlievano]

Those minor 9 chords really create a special vibe. This sound reminds of the chord progressions heard in Nas' "The World is Yours" or Black Star's "Thieves in the Night". Classic sound.

This is the absolute dirtiest, cheapest trick you could teach.
I love it.

This was an EXTREMELY influential video for me and after years & years of study I finally understand why this concept was so confusing to me at first:

At 3:35 when he says the Bb scale over the C is a "Aeolian or a Mixolydian type of scale, " I think what he really means is it's a DORIAN type of sound. He's playing minor 9s in parallel motion based off of the dorian mode. So when he has the band jamming in a minor groove, he just plays the DORIAN mode over top but makes each chord voicing a minor 9. I've heard this referred to as "chord planing" before. It makes sense then because Dorian is the second mode and that's why he refers to the Bb Major scale as a base. Just another way of looking at it (and it's probably easier than learning modes, honestly). But this is why it always works so well - Dorian is commonly used in place of the natural minor scale. So if a rhythm section is grooving on any minor vamp, a keyboardist could shed dorian over top of the whole thing and then also build minor9's off of each note. It's really genius in its simplicity.

Thank you so much Jamal for keeping music theory so interesting to me over the years!!!

[nilovankralingen]

It's awesome to see the bass player smile when this guy plays some funky changes

[savage]

so many channels for music theory seem like filling in the time with nonsense, with only basic explanations of the more complex concepts. this one really feels like someone wanting to share their knowledge! thanks for the lessons!

[pedroramirez]

5:43 He almost played the lick right there

[chelseacollins]

“The vibe is more important than the key”- this is so true and helpful for me, a classical girl who’s trying to break out of the rules.

[XuluXac]
