[@hoosleepy]

bro i swear we are the same person

[@thepandawithawizardhat]

Totally! Im taking the leap into neo soul/r&b, getting myself an electric guitar soon

[@redpillpusher]

18:35 that has got to be the most intense pinky work Ive ever seen ...like it has a mind of its own 😂😇

[@alvisgrady3357]

Well done ! Thanks ! 🎶

[@devilishtee3117]

Kazuki Isogai is a 10/10 for me. Been listening to him for a while and I 200% recommend checking out his channel

[@user-pm1xk5vw3u]

I just recently found this genre of music and fell in love with it immediately. My band is heavily inspired by J-Rock/Pop, and some of these riffs/solos sound similar to what we've been experimenting with!

[@parsifal40]

Can you make something similar? I'm looking for musicians for a game that is being worked on.

[@daoyang223]

Hell yeah! Melanie Faye is one of my favs

Mateus Asato is my top 1 guitarist at this particular genre.

[@fabianobento4819]

Incrível.

[@liangtuck]

Awesome list man.

[@shanbanan]

Melanie Faye is so underrated and it makes me sad :/

[@chykoj9714]

Ironically she has a song called Super Sad Always

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

I don't think she's underrated I judt think she isn't so well known which is something else. She's playing with aome of the biggest names in music right now.

[@JosephREkins]

Awesome

[@Ataide123ful]

Kaspar Jalily has jeely and butter on his fingers yo DAYUMMM

[@robertnolandurham]

@19:31 got me bopping my head at damn near 5 in the morning

[@thcertified]

1:00 nice groove 👌🏼but Todd Pritchard too nice with it

[@arnepursell5925]

That's some absolutely mindblowing guitar playing, or just playing in general. I would just call it music, basically a mish mash of rb, fingerstyle and jazz. I don't know why it's called neo soul, sounds like fingerstyle guitar to me, whether jazz or otherwise. Brings to mind a mix of Joe Pass and Barry White. The mix is good! And some Funkadelic in the mix as well.

[@redpillpusher]

haha you just basically described neo soul ...its all of this.

[@wilma7612]

Fingerstyle is a technique not a genre

[@metakatana]

@wilma A genre is just a construct used to categorize and label a subset of music. I don't see why 'fingerstyle' can't be used to simultaneously refer to a guitar technique and a musical genre/style.

[@wilma7612]

@@metakatana fingerstyle is a technique used in various genres

[@metakatana]

@@wilma7612 Right, but that doesn't mean that you can't use the term 'fingerstyle' to label and refer to a specific subset of music or guitar playing style.

Hey Simon, I really like your videos and your playing! could you please make a guitar tutorial for the song Yinmn Blue by Chris Mazuera. I found it in your Spotify playlist :)

Neo Soul? It sounds more like it should be called 'Neo Jazz.' Definitely cool, though.
