The best neo soul tutorial for beginners ive watched so far

[@CaberraTV]

thanks a lot

[@averageriffguy8949]

I felt that intro in my soul lol

[@traindiesel7005]

I love your channel and overall tone and vibe bruh. the fact that you do a lot of very subtle things, like shake the guitar neck on sustained notes / chords on a strat with no floating bridge, is tasteful and really dope to me. respect :)

[@CaberraTV]

Thanks a lot for the appreciation brother

[@chuckleezy]

Yessss keep the series up please!!!!!!!

[@traindiesel7005]

one of my favorite scales / sounds. especially inter spliced with dorian/ionian/blues

[@MJCGuitar]

Great work man! You are exactly right, you don't have to learn every mode. You can get a lot of mileage out of this one after you put in a little work doing your own licks. 🙌

[@CaberraTV]

exactly!

[@martinrhodes1619]

Brilliant! Just what I need re. neo-soul

[@harryelliott4363]

Great lesson, really useful! I love the sound of 5:26 - 5:30. I don't what you'd call that but it sounds so nice!

[@CaberraTV]

thank you so much

[@MrFrankie4700]

You in love with a strat tone

Great lesson, very concise and useful! Thanks

[@richiesiregar252]

Nice

[@ElsonnEstudioAi]

Thanks for the ideas

[@bolykibarnabas6456]

I can understand, its a simple II-V-I progression, but could you please give us a tab for the chords, it’d make my practice easier.. good video tho

[@palegarcia]

I think that he asumes that if you are studying the use of melodic minor, you already know chords shapes and similar

[@bolykibarnabas6456]

Pablo Garcia Fair point there, however I’m just kinda bored on major pentatonic scales, and thats why im here, to learn something new, that is way out of my league

[@palegarcia]

@@bolykibarnabas6456 hahhaa yes, I get your point, we all have been there!!

[@justinwuwuwu]

wow thank you so much! I've new to the melodic scale and am having a lot of fun already. Besides the 5 chord, where are some other good places to bust out a melodic minor run?

[@dakotablackburn3054]

Great lesson, subscribed my friend!! Thanks for sharing this knowledge I got some homework to do now 🤓

[@CaberraTV]

Thanks bro! Love this!

Great lesson!!!

[@peterlloyd5285]

When I Googled the melodic minor, it said that it is only used in the ascending form. Do you have any coments on this? I guess the other thing is the way it is used in Jazz as scale to play over a ii- V. For instance , over G7 you could play Ab melodic minor. (is that correct?) I'm not usually a fan of modern neo-soul/r&b guitar, it usually sounds like a mish mash of 60s soul and 70s fusion. You play well, in the sense that you make coherent melodic staements and ypu play with a lot of feeling. One of the stumbling blocks with this style is that there almost too many options regarding scales, harmonies, octaves, bends etc. It's like cooking; you can spoil the soup with too many ingredients.

[@TitoSilversax]

In classical music it’s used only ascending, with the regular minor scale descending. As guitarist John Stowell smirked facetiously “us jazz guys are only smart enough to use one half of the melodic minor”!

[@gavinreid8351]

Used on the ascent and descent it is sometimes referred to as the Jazz melodic minor.

[@veras0900]

Hi loves your teaching your playing and your video! 🙏 but where’s part 2?

[@lucbue9720]

I really dont get it. When I play the scale like it is showed in the photo, it sounds weird to me. Othe notes seem to fit. But when you play it, it sounds super cool. Dont what I´m doing wrong

[@Kerya_gitaristo]

Thank you very much!!!

[@krisskross6135]

5:28 can we get a lesson on more these cool runs? or is there a name for this certain technique? i really want to learn more of these

[@CaberraTV]

Check out my lessons.. This channel is full of these kind of licks :)

[@georgenauful9623]

Beautiful chord alternatives and altered melodic minors! What is the guitar brand you are playing? I don't recognize the logo.

[@minutelicks]

it's a Franfret Guitar. check for Gene Caberra Signature guitar on here.

[@magikturtle]

Lovely stuff. Subscribed for sure. I’m sure you have a lot to teach me. Oh and FIRST

[@davim.6073]

What brand is the green strat-style guitar? Looks and sounds amazing 😍

[@minutelicks]

pretty sure it's a Franfret Guitar

[@24JOSHUAGOPAUL]

Tone is in the fingers

[@marklynch403]

Hi I love your Chanel it's what I've been looking for , I'd like to lean this style of guitar playing do you have a systematic system of where I could start off?

[@CaberraTV]

just check all my videos brother. I pretty much teach all I know about neo soul and jazz

[@marklynch403]

This is excellent , love it.

[@lulunpmbambo8739]

Out here in South Africa I just wanted to ask which app do you use .... great sound by the way 100

[@CaberraTV]

bias amp!

[@SaverioTanzi]

Hi, May you please tell me the brand of the second guitar that you use in this video? Thanks

[@CaberraTV]

It is a custom Strat from Franfret guitars :)

[@SaverioTanzi]

@@CaberraTV thank you!

[@frannyp46]

Erm, would that be a John Sykes Les Paul?

[@dalton7145]

Ok so what is neo soul?

[@cruisecontrol9893]

How do you finger that last EM I can’t see it

[@josephmelendez7234]

Anyone know what kinda strat style guitar he uses?

[@loredo97]

Does the altered scale resolve to a minor tonality?

[@CaberraTV]

Minor is more usual but in jazz and r&b it can resolve to major as well.

[@moses4747]

Could you suggest songs that fall in this exact genre...

[@benaiahwright937]

[@Stevengomez-j6q]

Dam sounds so sexy YOG

[@CaberraTV]

thanks a lot

[@fretlessdaysandy9961]

easier to think of as major scale with root raised a semi-tone...

[@tofusauce]

Can you show us how to do vibrato by pushing the top of your guitar?

[@vincentdoublier3128]

He actually moves the neck with his left hand to do vibrato. He presses the top of the guitar to maintain the rest of the guitar still. Hope this helped

[@CaberraTV]

Ill do that!

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

“Alright enough with the talking let’s get to the lesson” (proceeds to talk for another two minutes) 🙄

[@CaberraTV]

Well, the lesson includes/starts off with talking. Otherwise it wouldn't be a lesson right? For my understanding a guitar lesson is supposed to include explaining which is hard to do without talking. Thanks for your feedback!

[@philliphanford2792]

well in my case I know it and use it i wanted to hear your lines, whoops you are talking more than playing, good for others i suppose.

[@michaeljames7121]

To much TALKING!!!!!

[@dinger7608]

Ask someone how to pronounce 'altered' correctly.

[@CaberraTV]

Haha yeah just recognised I pronounced it wrong :) Thanks for the feedback!

[@ElsonnEstudioAi]

Thanks for the ideas
