Advanced Neo-Soul Guitar

Part I. of this Master Class is highly methodical and serves as the foundation for Ashton's signature sound. In this section, you’ll learn close- and broken-position major triads as well as minor triads.

‍

Triads are a great way to harmonize any melody. If you’re soloing over a groove with a band or a jam track, an understanding of triads will give you a map of options as to where to go on your fretboard. Triads also play a particularly important role in gospel music

Hybrid picking – other than having a really cool name – is a great technique that adds a “fluttery” sound to your playing. It’s a key part of Ashton’s sound and was a highly-requested topic from his fans. You asked, we delivered.

In Part II., you’ll take the same exercises from Part I. but focus on your picking hand. Ashton shares tips throughout to help you achieve an even approach to hybrid-picking.

Challenge yourself with ten advanced jazz / neo-soul licks. Each one incorporates the devices and techniques you'll have studied in previous sections of the class. For each lick, Ashton will break down the concept behind it so you can apply the general approach to your own unique playing style.
