[@NoahKellman]

Thank you, Doug! Glad to hear you're finding the content useful.

[@JermaineWilsonOfficial]

My new favourite KZbin channel, thank you sir

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Jay. Appreciate that! Got lots more content on the way.

[@LorentzHallMusic]

Great lesson! Mind if I ask what kind of electric piano you're using?

[@chriswright2553]

Hi Noah, I got into your playing via Chad, and I'm very impressed. I'm a long-time sax player trying to improve my piano playing, and I love neo soul. I'm a big fan of Glasper and Moonchild, and your content is perfect.

[@chriswright2553]

Also I notice on the first voicing you describe it as a Cmaj7#11 but you break it down by adding the 9 at the top and missing out the maj7. Do you vary it and swap between adding either the B or the D?

[@howumighthaveanimatedthat2159]

First off THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the keyboard overlay. It's perfect. Second, thanks for the arpegiation of the right hand notes tip at 1:50 ish, I should know that but it seemed better when you did i it. I liked those licks around 4:36 maybe a future video suggestion on some licks for Neo Soul. Great video, I'm gonna spend some time slow moing this one.

[@NoahKellman]

You're welcome! Check out a couple of my latest videos- got some neo soul licks in there!

[@blackcnn4929]

This tutorial was awesome. The keyboard overlay helps a ton too

[@Vanilla_production]

Hi Noah, a big fan of your neo soul series. Keep them coming. Can you recommend some of you favorite piano neo soul albums to get more understanding of that type of music?

[@devin5067]

Great video

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Devin!

[@samuel_musica4059]

Ya activos hermano, a practicar 😎 estoy aplicando tus recursos cuando toco me a ayudado muchísimo bendiciones.

[@NoahKellman]

Me alegro, Samuel. Dime si tienes algunas preguntas.

[@samuel_musica4059]

@@NoahKellman hermano con respecto al tutorial no tengo ninguna duda, pero quisiera un video donde pueda tocar en una base de funk Gm y C7 pero aplicando en la mano izquierda las cuartas, osea tocar en cuartas LH(C F Bb) no se como puedo aplicarlo y de verdad quisiera aprender eso y no consigo información de eso , la armonia cuartal suena bien pero es dificil de aplicar.

[@divineodjame8395]

Really cool video, Thank you....

[@NoahKellman]

For sure- glad you enjoyed it!

All I can say is Wow

[@lonzcityy2189]

first off you know why i’m here. 🙏🏾 also you really convincing me to get a nord lol

[@NoahKellman]

hahah thanks man!! Well if you are seriously considering it, lemme know and I'll send you an affiliate link just in case :p . Also anytime you've got a question about any of this stuff let me know.

[@lonzcityy2189]

Noah Kellman you know as soon as it’s time i’m gonna reach out 👊🏾. appreciate you!

[@NoahKellman]

@@lonzcityy2189 Thanks, appreciate you too bro!

[@daniele_petrini]

I'd love to get a Nord keyboard, but it costs a lot for my standards. Anyway, astonishing tutorial, really dope voicings, I'm always inspired when watching your videos!

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Daniele. Yeah-- Nords are definitely up there in terms of price. Have you looked for used ones at a place like Reverb.com? Plenty of amazing keyboards out there besides Nords too!

[@_sonicfive]

All right guys

[@DanTheHuman]

hi Noah, this is an amazing video, I'm not used to voicing chords like this so I have one question, how do you go about maintaining some form of cohesion while going from one chord to another? do you use inversions or can I just move around the voicing to whatever chord without it sounding weird? thank you

[@leumaskey9659]

thank you

[@NoahKellman]

You're welcome.

[@kzeich]

Thanks, as always. Do you have shows I could look up on KZbin? With a band of otherwise?

[@sabirzeynalov5331]

Noah, that's very informative and unique lesson! Thank a lot! Could you show what kinda scales do you prefer to use while playin' Neo Soul?

[@NoahKellman]

Hey Sabir, sure- I'll keep this in mind for future videos!

[@rensmeuwissen1544]

Hey man love your vids really helpful. Maybe you can do something with cool II - V - I voicings. And some chord progressions. Keep it up!

[@NoahKellman]

Hey, thanks Rens. For sure, will keep that in mind for future videos.

[@caaccaac8712]

I feel bad watching this for free

[@antoniotuck9347]

Hi Noah. Nice video. Can you share what mode you were using over the C Alerted chord?

[@NoahKellman]

Hey Antonio, technically it would be the 7th mode of the Melodic Minor scale, which is the Altered Scale (also known as Super Locrian).

[@emmanuelfelix6167]

How to harmonize majorscale with neo soul chord

[@markdavenport2613]

Why does the first chord (C maj 7#11) not include the 7?

[@NoahKellman]

Hey Mark, in this case I would say that the 7 is implied since we have 9 and #11. In my opinion, every voicing doesn't have to contain every note below as long as it's not somehow changing the harmonic implication. Make sense?

[@markdavenport2613]

@@NoahKellman Thanks for explaining. Still learning how chords are named/spelled.

[@couchcamperTM]

instantly suubed. :- )

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks :) ! Feel free to comment with any questions you have anytime.

[@couchcamperTM]

@@NoahKellman ok, first one: how to grow larger hands? ;- ) I'm an absolute beginner, I just watch and play more advanced stuff because I don't want to start with Für Elise and children songs. First thing I tried was No Quarter. I am on it. Learning where to put my fingers and memorizing is the biggest challenge, I am a drummer and have already some good timing. I just never needed to know scales and modes and such things. a whole new world. your video just saved me 4 weeks of trial and error and feeling stupid. it's fun this way. learning to play chords as arpeggios teaches 2 things at once if not more. which fingers go where and when, independence, fluid movement. things I wouldn't pick up on with normal lessons in 6 months. Thank you!

[@DavidRosario69]

The first voicing is pretty much Lydian

[@NoahKellman]

yeah 100%-- all about that #11

[@alexteravakov5038]

it's impossible to watch your videos everything is nervous and twitchy drink sedatives it may make you feel better
