The Fundamentals of Neo-Soul Keyboard is one of the hottest and most coveted DVDs every made. Let's face it, musicians love neo-soul, because it is a genre that posses the smoothness of soul; the improvisational creativity of jazz; the grit of hip-hop; and the head-bobbing phenomena of funk.
You can't get these chords with your neighborhood piano teacher. These chords are "secret" chords that the streets possess and are shared only in underground basement shed sessions. For the first time, these secret chords will be exposed for all of it's funky glory. You get a little over an hour of the phattest neo-soul chord progressions that you hear on the radio or from your favorite neo-soul artists. We spent time in the studio showing the movements, then we took time to chart out all of the movements in a nice score. You get the MIDI files for your tracks and for your virtual MIDI viewer such as MIDIculous. Finally you get tons of theory booklets and resources so that you actually understand what you are playing. The notations are so easy to follow and very simple to understand.
From coming from a gospel background, we can all agree that musicians love neo-soul and these concepts that we teach can be applied to every urban genre of music from gospel to R&B. If you are looking to finally make some smooth grooves with your tracks and become an urban producer, then this DVD will give you all the tools to produce your first album. If you are getting a little bored with the same chords you've been playing all the time, now it's time totally transform your style by adding a touch of neo-soul to your keyboard playing!.

This was an EXTREMELY influential video for me and after years & years of study I finally understand why this concept was so confusing to me at first: At 3:35 when he says the Bb scale over the C is a "Aeolian or a Mixolydian type of scale," I think what he really means is it's a DORIAN type of sound. He's playing minor 9s in parallel motion based off of the dorian mode. So when he has the band jamming in a minor groove, he just plays the DORIAN mode over top but makes each chord voicing a minor 9. I've heard this referred to as "chord planing" before. It makes sense then because Dorian is the second mode and that's why he refers to the Bb Major scale as a base. Just another way of looking at it (and it's probably easier than learning modes, honestly). But this is why it always works so well - Dorian is commonly used in place of the natural minor scale. So if a rhythm section is grooving on any minor vamp, a keyboardist could shed dorian over top of the whole thing and then also build minor9's off of each note. It's really genius in its simplicity. Thank you so much Jamal for keeping music theory so interesting to me over the years!!!

@classyincali9151 4 жыл бұрын

Correct ;)

@Nocappucino97 4 жыл бұрын

Nah I believe he was correct because we’re talking C minor here. If it was C major you’d be right but because it’s minor, that shift to the Bb would actually be Mixolydian. Bb major = C Dorian, Bb Mixolydian = C Minor

@kendallburks 4 жыл бұрын

David Wright yeah but he’s playing a B flat major (Ionian) scale when he’s speaking in that particular moment, so it’s definitely C Dorian. What’s clear is that he’s not really interested in being perfectly accurate with which mode he’s using, he’s just thinking about a parent scale (seems like he’s always referencing some major scale) and then just builds minor 9 and minor 11 chords open each of those notes. His lacking in theory chops may very well make his teaching less clear than it could be, but he more than makes up for it with his infectious enthusiasm and very down to earth/practical approach.

@tropicvibe 4 жыл бұрын

Yes indeed it is a C Dorian mode but once you start building min 9ths on each degree of the Bb maj scale, tonality becomes increasingly blurred since now all 12 tones of the chromatic scale have come into play. What's even more interesting is that although there is no clear tonic, once you play through all the min 9ths off of the Bb maj scale, there is actually one spot that feels like "home" or has some semblance of a tonic. That's the Gmin9 chord which is coincidentally the relative minor of Bb maj and since we're dealing with minor chords, it's quite possible to hear G Aeolian as the tonic. To test it out, start the sequence of min 9ths on Cm9 and end on Cm9 then start the sequence on Gm9 and end on Gm9. Which one sounds like "home"? The sequence on G is actually quite pleasant. A close second would be a sequence starting on the Dmin9 chord which also sounds pretty good as a tonic. Of course now you'd be going through a different mode, D Phrygian. The best thing yet is that although Jamal lacks in traditional theory, there's no doubt he knows these relationships by ear as he's an excellent musician. And the kicker is he needs none of this since he forces Cm9 to become the tonic by starting on Cm, then playing a moving chord sequence, then falling back on Cm. Not trying to get deep on everyone here with all this theory, just very curious and i have a few of Jamal's dvd's and learned some great stuff from him.

Hey man, rad video! You guys really groove well together. As a small bit of advice, I think you should specify the intervals of those minor 9s for us beginners because it looks a lot like you're playing inversions/interesting voicings. For instance the Cm9 chord you play at 0:43, the intervals are 1-5-b7-9-b3-5 or C-G-Bb-D-Eb-G. The 9 and b3 (D and Eb) played right next to each other adds tension in the middle of the chord. Doubling up on the 5th adds consonance/balance. That's why I think Neo Soul is so cool. Cause you could easily play a Dm9 by playing every other white key from D up to E (block voicing style) but it's the recipe that makes it special

D minor 11 Left hand D A E Right hand F C G (Note: Left hand begins w little finger on D1 then up perfect 5th to A index finger, then up another perfect 5th to E with thumb) (Right hand thumb on F literally right next to the E of left hand thumb, then a perfect 5th above F to C with index finger, then another perfect 5th above C to G played with little finger.

The “rooted” scale he refers to is C dorian. But I don’t think this has anything significant to so with the vibes he was making, or if so, his explanation was lacking, and as far as I can tell he was “rooted” in C on only one or two examples. What I did see taking place was ‘diatonic chord voicing’, meaning he played the same chord shape on every degree of the scale, which ironically causes most of the actual chords to become non diatonic (ie out of key). He is right in that Neo Soul sound relies heavily on the use of 9ths. But the minor 9th is just one chord out of many that are utilized. Major 9th, major and minor 11th and 13 chords, and sus dominant chords are central as well. But the sound is More so about cluster voicing, chords with 3rds and 9ths in the bass, minor 3rd, major 3rd, 4th and 5th chord movement, and surprise cadences.
