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!.

Thank u Jamal. I'm coming back from a 5 year hiatus. Gonna take a year to get my chops back. So grateful these videos are still here to get me back up to speed. Same content that levelled me up about 7 years ago.

[@DodgeNeoSoul616]

At 8:45 in the video, the chord progression is Bb major9, Eb major9, F major9 along with the variation that was Bb minor9, Eb13, F major9. This same Chord progression was used in this song but started on Ab major9 instead of Bb major9, kzbin.info/www/bejne/d32peJVvasxle8U I dig the cool chord progression, laidback groove, and killer bass line at 5:42. Keep up the great work brotha. Your music makes me want to get up and dance. You inspire me.

[@jaijeffcom]

Brilliant pair of vidoes on minor 9 and major 9 in neo-soul. Here's an interesting theory point that you illustrated very nicely. When you rooted on a minor tonality (in the minor 9 video), say B-flat minor, you built diatonic minor 9 chords derived from the B-flat Dorian mode. That means you included a g minor 9. When you rooted on a major tonality, say B-flat major, you built diatonic major 9 chords derived from B-flat Aeolian mode. You didn't expressly say that was the mode, but you included a g-flat major 9. That g-flat comes from the B-flat Aeolian mode. If you distinguish between rooting in a major tonality and minor one, you demonstrated a consistent structure for knowing what diatonic chords you can include, here either g-flat or g-natural. In this video, since your target root is a b-flat major 9, your progression moves: g-flat, a-flat, b-flat. With a target of b-flat minor, a g-flat minor 9 is less convincing, and your other video would use g minor in that context.. I suppose you could play g-flat minor while targeting a root of B-flat major, but it sounds recognizably different. I like what you played, and this is the structural distinction you employed.

Hi Jamal, thanks for all your stuff you have uploading on youtube! I love your groove of playing. I try sometimes a couple of things you have teached but I am not really a Piano player. Maybe some day I will get in to it :) Im playing Guitar and Bass and your Bass players are really dope. Did they have also some kind of tutorials for Bass on youtube? Thanks man and please keep on with your thing!

Hi! Congrats for your videos! are fantastic! Thanks! Could you explain how are neo soul progressions? Please. ( sorry about my english :) )

[@turnitupspot]

goatt!☝🏾

[@grillingmesoftly]

how does he change up the chords when playing with the band? he says hes gonna play Bb Ab Gb, but then after playing it a few times he changes everything. anyways, nice tutorial. much appreciated

[@soulcraftloops]

A lot of that probably has to do with inversions and extensions! It might look and even sound like different chords but he is staying within the key root structure. That's the infinite beauty and possibility of music! If you listen closely you can hear that it doesn't necessarily change keys. To be fair there are a good amount of passing chords he is using which DO leave the key, if only for a second, with a 'destination' chord in mind. If I could give any advice to get to his level as quickly as possible. It's to: 1. Learn extensions 2. Learn inversions 3. Learn passing chords. Probably in that order. Now, everyone is different and we all have different learning habits and levels of skill. But we should all know those 3 things anyway to be a proficient piano player! Hope this helps :)

[@robyn61]

@@soulcraftloops would you suggest that a beginner just learn the major 9 and minor 9 chords in all keys first? Then extensions and what are extensions? Thanks.

[@jonathanbobo722]

am i the only one confused when he said the relative minor of F major is Ab minor? And when he was explaining it he played B flat minor? 7:00

[@ac_audioworld]

I think really it should be that the Ab Major functions as a relative of F major. Instead of playing Ab, he plays Bb Minor -> Eb7, the ii V I of Ab. I think another way of looking at this is, if you’re in the key of F major, you can do what’s called the “backdoor 2 5 1”, which in the most basic case would be Bb-7 -> Eb7. Since Bb-7 -> Eb7 leads to AbMajor, we can say that Ab is a relative of FMajor. (Note that in this section he’s playing more like Bb-9 -> Eb13, basically the same thing just a little smoother)

[@jonathanbobo722]

nice, I think It's still a little over my head but I appreciate you taking the time @@ac_audioworld

[@Petrucciv]

Could be you up the chords please?, i cant see good, iam begineer. Thanks

[@dextrusdalabassistan]

Isn't this ordinary people at 8.45?

[@NewRoute]

Could you go over these chords from a beginners perspective? Pretend you’re teaching someone (me) who knows nothing about a minor 9 structure.

[@gabbishleegifted4752]

Honestly you’re better off looking up a quick google image or a quick KZbin tutorial already made on the structure. It’s simple. Then just come back here. Basically the 13579 “9” being the 2 just called the 9 (think about it being after the octave aka the 8th note) so it follows basic chord/ scale degrees of the 1/3/5. So in F the 9 would be the g 🎹 1/3/5/7/9 F/A/C/E/G Now it just depends on the voicing you want to play (inversions) as in the 9 doesn’t have to be at the end you can play it next to the F which again seems like you’re playing a 1/2/3/5/7 or something. *notice: how the f 9 is basically a F major and a C major chord together. That’s extended chords for you. They are basically two or more triads put together. Major 3 and minor 3rd intervals (between notes) Works for every key/ every chord Hope that helped.
