If you practice this example in this way, the following examples won’t feel as challenging. I recommend barring the 6th frets with your first finger and hammering on to your fourth finger. By hammering the 6th to the 8th frets on the ‘G’ string, you change the chord from an E major 6 to an E major 7. The hammer-on demonstrated in example two is a key sound in Neo-Soul. In example one I have demonstrated three-note shapes for an E major 6 chord and an E major 7 chord, both held for four beats. Now that you have an understanding of the sound of Neo Soul let’s look at some fundamental aspects of the chords involved in this genre. The third example is played by myself Simon Pratt. The second example is from my good friend and incredible player Kristof Neyens. The first example is recorded by Mark Lettieri, who along with being one of the finest solo guitar players in the world, plays for the jazz fusion grammy award winning band Snarky Puppy. Before we dive into some essential chords and how to apply them, listen to these three Instagram examples of Neo Soul playing. Neo-Soul is a genre of music that comprises of elements of Gospel, RnB, Funk, Jazz and Hip Hop.
