How To Play MOTOWN Guitar - R&B/Soul Guitar Lesson

[@albertbentley56]

I grew up with Motown, and it always fascinated me how they got that mix of guitar sounds fab!

[@tinytuba42]

This is one of the best guitar instructional videos I've ever seen. Thank you!

[@JameyArent]

Thank you and you’re welcome!

[@HerbalCulture]

Came here to learn the term 'chank'. Learned so much more. Thanks a bunch!

[@zephaniahmcdaniels]

Love this! Helps me understand how to get that sound now as a producer. Could you do some more tutorials on 70s soul guitar please?

[@JameyArent]

Thanks! Yeah I can think about some 70’s guitar part lessons.

[@bilnabiln]

yesss, would love more 70s soul lessons!

[@dedereimer5472]

Cool! Never knew that. Easier to do parts anyway.

Very interesting.. A year ago before buying my first guitar I watched a video of you explaining guitars and it was really helpful. Through that and many other videos, I picked up a used Strat Copy and an amp. A year later, I've learned some basics, some songs, chord progressions, scales, etc. Feeling like I'm ready to venture out a bit, and want to learn my dad's favorite music; Motown. Watched a few vids from other channels, but yours was the most concise. Very well made, informative, easy to understand, no rambling, no repeating yourself, tabs, pictures of what your referencing, everything was pretty much bang on. Thank you. I'm glad you cover every genre, can't wait to start learning some more.

[@JameyArent]

Thank you so much! Glad these videos have been helpful!

How I want learn this. Thank you

Great job in breaking down how the guitar parts work in motown. I am not sure if this would be a far stretch from Motown guitar, but I would be interested in how the guitar parts work together in the reggae music of Desmond Dekker (Israelites) and other artists from the 70's era of music that Leslie Kong produced.

Do You have a lesson on this song (one guitar and one singer). Do You do private lessons (Motown)?

[@JameyArent]

DM me on Instagram or Facebook to inquire about private lessons. Thanks!

[@xw0ex948]

nice vid bro

[@JameyArent]

Thanks!

[@rauldorsman8191]

What do you think of The Rolling Stones playing guitar together? I’m talking about Ronnie wood and Keith Richards in particular, because they have a whole different view on playing together. They call it the ancient art of weaving: making 2 guitars sound like 1 guitar, while still keeping some sort of playfulness between the two of them. I’d love to know more on how it works, but I can’t seem to find anything on KZbin regarding this style. Do you know anything about it? Tnx for the video:)

[@larryfarkas]

Cool.

[@lokigui]

very nice

[@JameyArent]

Thank you!

[@johnmirabile3535]

Hey bud, great video, im primarily a blues singer/guitarists, well, basically anything vintage soul.. im in the middle making a record, started off a heavy blues type vibe...hence, i been writing alot of motown stuff, sometimes you cant help what comes out of the soul, ya know? Anyway, i developed a guitar techique making up parts and playing as much as possible at once, this kinda put it in perspective for me, before this im like how the hell did that guitarists do all that lol thanks subscribing now...

[@JUNNY923]

The beginning of this video sounds like the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy

[@JoeIsOut2lunch]

So where is the song written? In the baselines? I can’t see either of those guitar parts being brought up with “I have an idea for a song” you know? Greet video BTW.

[@JameyArent]

In many cases, it's just the basic chords sung on the piano, and the specific parts are added later. Sometimes it might be a bass line. These guitar parts are more "icing on the cake" than the anchor to the entire song like in many rock/pop styles.

[@jesseformella2701]

What’s the name of the artist and the song?

[@JameyArent]

It’s not an actual song, just a groove inspired by common Motown grooves. The baseline is basically the same as “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch” by the Four Tops.

[@ricardovisconti5681]

the second guitar was regular keith richards play

[@Sammywhat]

Hey Jamey! Sounds wonderful man. Maybe talk about the additive aspect of reverb on mixes like this one?? Also, your instagram, facebook and twitter links aren't working. Just saying. 😉

[@JameyArent]

The links should be working now. Very weird as they were typed in correctly. I just deleted and re-typed and the work now.

[@Sammywhat]

@@JameyArent At first I thought it was my machine... but TikTok worked. Go figure. Thanks again for everything man!!

[@JameyArent]

@@Sammywhat thanks for bringing it to my attention.
