Neo-Soul Fusion Masterclass

In Rodrigo Gouveia’s insightful Masterclass you’ll learn how to use a little to say a lot. Adding subtle neo-soul stylistic variations that will help you decorate your solos with an evocative flourish.

Using the detailed study guide PDF (available in both English and Portuguese) you’ll study several essential topics such as harmonic intervals, triads, chord inversions, chord substitutions and tension/resolution devices. Each section also comes with a creative collection of licks. You’ll then study ten exercises that intensely work on the common technical difficulties that most players face when tackling the sound of this jazz-infused genre.

The licks and exercises in this Masterclass will utilise slides, double stops, hammer-ons, pull-offs, chordal ideas, octaves slides, economy picking, palm muting plus alternate picking and more.

Rodrigo has also created a full song that uses all the ideas covered and puts them into a longer music setting. The Masterclass includes additional slow versions of the licks, a full backing track, plus complete tab/notation.

Revamp your sound by learning to squeeze the most out of every note with Rodrigo’s Masterclass and create stylish solos that overflow with harmonic sophistication and subtle dynamics.
