Yes! You read my mind brotha! Been waiting for this video. You keep these videos clean, tight, and simple. Im sure I'm not the only one to answer YES in seeing another video on Neo soul progressions. I'll be waiting. Quick question: Is there any rule of thumb into which notes you're re-arranging to create the new voicing of an extended chord? Keep flowin!

[@stefanguy]

Glad to hear brother and thanks for the continued support man! In answer to your question, not really bro, the notes can be in any order.

[@chaosfeeder]

[@Magda-iz7po]

@@stefanguy Thank you!! 😊

[@umerhamid5458]

Love your videos man. How would i create an early 2000s usher kind of sound. Would that be like a 2-5-1 progression? If not, could you please tell me what kind of chord progressions early 2000s rnb followed?

[@hollownights6946]

[@noisyplanet3397]

Hey man. Can you help me find the chord progressions for this songs Cloud - Hold On (Cloud''s Mood Ring Mix) and Cloud - Winter Nights. Thanks.

[@sirgigolo]

What's the name of your background track and where can I get it?

[@absorbentcotton7156]

That outro music if anyone knows it please can we get the title? Btw thanks

[@stefanguy]

Sorry guys, It’s a track I made a few weeks back. You interesting in buying or leasing? You can hear the full track here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3uYqamLrKuhl9E

[@tonylancer7367]

Why is there no Major/Minor 15th? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@truthknox3432]

I currently have your Progression Pro. Are the 9th 11th and 13th new?

[@stefanguy]

I updated it about two years ago i believe and added a few more progressions. You should have received an email with the update but i can resend it. All you need to do is email me with the email you used to purchase it or the name you used. Alternatively if you go to transactions.sendowl.com/customer_accounts/35415/login you should be able to create an account with the email address you used to purchase it and re download it but it’ll be the most up to date version.

[@piooyuy34]

Stefan busy these days haha......

[@stefanguy]

😅😅😅😅

[@cks8796]

Its not neo-soul chords. Actually, its from jazz vocing that many jazz mucusicians have used for a long time.

[@stefanguy]

That’s fair. But it’s also stated in the video that “they can be used in many genres”. The fact of the matter is that Neo-Soul heavily features these chords and they are an integral part of achieving the sound of the genre. Therefore it can be stated that they are neo-soul chords. Just because one genre uses a type of chord it doesn’t mean another genre can’t. We’d run out of chords extremely quickly.

[@cks8796]

Thank you for yol reply! You’re right! Thank you for good contents

[@Modye]

I love the content that you bring out! They are always easy to digest and educative! Would love to see more videos about your chord voicings! I also started to record my own journey here on KZbin. If u could help a small channel out hit a like and subscribe if u like the content

[@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272]

Without minor 9 chords no intelligent life 😂🤠🤣ask azymuth, Hancock or George Duke it gives you impros the right sound and then a major 7/9 or 11 or 13 and you got a real slick sound 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@bksmith82]

Play an example first, then go into the explanation.

[@stefanguy]

Thanks for the feedback

[@ihH6053]

You don’t have time stamps in the description that really irritates me

[@stefanguy]

There is a time stamp after the word “voicing” my friend. 0:51
