Dope Neo-Soul Progression Breakdown

[@larrys225]

They're both good but Holding E over each chord sounds better to me

[@jrynds]

The notation helps me a lot by hearing and reading along. It builds up my ear training

[@Piano_Pig]

Great to hear!

[@youngmaryworld]

Holding that e was phenomenal ✨

[@McGillMusicSaxSchool]

Great sounds here Simon! Love this groove and can’t wait to jam over it!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks Nigel! 🙏

[@ghice47]

Amazing, lovely stuff! Thanks much

[@Piano_Pig]

You’re welcome!

[@FKL]

Simon, could you share the backing track? Txs

[@dre7256]

The boss is back !

[@mattwildemusic]

Really beautiful tune man! That Emaj sound is so nice in the context of the melody 🔥

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks Matt! Much appreciated 🙏

[@patrickmerrick5880]

Holding the E over all the chords sounds better. The other way the notes sound out of context.

[@jordanscote]

Sick tune! Where can I find the backing track to jam to?

[@thelouisjohnson]

Reminds me of Natalie Duncan’s ‘Let Go Release’ for some reason - nice timbre 👌🏼

[@dan008ful]

Cool, the D E F sound really radiohead style , have you some advice for have good drumbacktrack like this one ?

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks man! There's some great drummers out there who release drum packs with breaks and one shots, one of my favourites is a guy called Tamuz!

[@dan008ful]

@@Piano_Pig hey thanks!

[@ChrisSmout]

Very slick, I can see some of these chords working in a slightly different order. Can't wait to give them a whirl later.

[@Piano_Pig]

Yes I’m sure they would! Mixing up the order of the chords is a great way to come up with new progressions 😊

[@crazzylee]

Holding E

[@jayedevan567]

Both sound good (holding the E and playing it with every chord)...leaning toward to the former slightly 👊🏾🎹🔥

[@BREADHED92]

🔥🔥🔥

[@johnnyblue1101]

Suggestion: At end, Make the C#7 altered a Dflat # 9 chord; Easier to visualize for most. With a nice visual of the half-step resolution up to D major7 to close the progression

[@sonycroquet]

hi simon I don,t understand what are doing E on the chord G7and wheree is B?

[@Piano_Pig]

I guess technically it's a G13sus chord, hence the E being in there. There's no B because that's the 3rd and sus chords omit the 3rd.

[@ScandiSweets]

Love this one. Thanks so much!

[@Piano_Pig]

No problem! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Gospelpianist]

I think the 1st chord is G13sus4 is it crt?

[@Piano_Pig]

Yeah I suppose it is!

[@worrellrobinson4332]

Congrats🎉🎉🎉Simon this was a sweet Neo Soul lick , keep up the amazing work...

[@New_in_jazz]

Thank you very much Simon :)

[@Piano_Pig]

It's my pleasure!

[@sls554]

Sweet Dope Neo-Soul Goove Progress. Nice!!!!!

[@claudiakramer4516]

What is the key of the song

[@Piano_Pig]

Did you watch the video? I explained that it’s in A minor

[@vickylynn9867]

Awesome, holding the E

[@elliottdunn231]

Sick…

[@maximoralesWAV]

Makee moore!!

[@Piano_Pig]

Was actually thinking of making a new YT series of 'Neo Soul Progression Breakdowns'

[@accountantguy2]

Really nice! Do you have an album on Spotify?

[@Piano_Pig]

I don't at the moment, I hope to one day though! I mostly just post my music on Instagram at the moment

[@suchadameedee2954]

Holding, easy as I am old school classical "trained"😀

[@Piano_Pig]

Yes that classical technique definitely makes that easier!

[@ZenMountain]

Thanks man, great work.

[@Piano_Pig]

My pleasure!

[@chrismowag6919]

Instant Shaun Martin vibes at 6:15 ❤

[@Piano_Pig]

RIP Shaun Martin 🧡

[@JesusRdz-rb7ns]

You can also add a Gdim7 right before starting the second round for extra spice

[@Piano_Pig]

Great suggestion!

[@johne1599]

Thank you! Very nice. I prefer the sound of holding the E.
