Real structure for real progress.
Most players collect chord shapes from YouTube and still can't make them sound like the records. This course teaches the whole language, in order, so every lesson makes the next one easier.

9th, 11th and 13th chords with every shape you need. Secondary dominants, dim7 chords, tritone substitution, modal interchange. Fingerpicking, strumming and hybrid picking. It's all here, in one place, in the right order.
Everything on screen.
Chord diagrams and music theory graphics in every lesson, so you're never guessing where the fingers go. PDF tabs and notation, plus backing tracks, for every example, ready to download.
Progress you can hear.
Each module builds on the last, and your progress is saved automatically so you always know what's next. By the end you're playing five full Neo-Soul etudes and writing progressions of your own.

What students say.
βSuch an excellent course to really understand the theory and the nuances of R&B and Neo-Soul guitar. The short, digestible videos with clear explanations, on-screen chords and downloadable tabs make this genre so much less overwhelming. There are no other classes out there teaching this style nearly as well.β
βI'm halfway through without any regrets. Really awesome. Anyone that really wants to play this style, this course is a steal!β
βVery nice course. Great explanations of the concepts and techniques used in this style. Started the course as a long-time beginner and learned a lot. After I finish, I'll repeat it to dive even deeper into the music theory.β
βFocused, clear and no waffle. Gentle, calm delivery as well. I knew the chords before, but it's nice to have alternative popular chord grips mentioned too. Nice guy vibe. Full marks!β
βIt's fun and he is a good teacher. I really love Neo-Soul, and there aren't very many courses out there for this genre. So this is an exciting one.β
βExcellent teacher! Easy to follow and implement.β

Is this for you?
If you can play bar chords, you're ready. Everything else is taught along the way, and the theory goes deep enough for experienced players.
This is for you if
- You know bar chords and maybe a few basic 7th chords. That's all you need to start.
- You're early intermediate and want to get into R&B and Neo-Soul on acoustic guitar, properly.
- You're advanced and want to go deeper into the genre, or finally make sense of the music theory on the fretboard.
- You want cool progressions to play when you pick up a guitar on the sofa, or in a guitar store.
Not for you if
- You're a complete beginner. Get comfortable with bar chords first. My free YouTube lessons are a good place to start, and this course will be waiting.
- You want a quick trick, not a method. This is a full system you work through in order. If you just want a few licks, YouTube has you covered.
Hi, I'm Simone.
I'm a guitarist and content creator based in London. I've spent over 15 years teaching private guitar lessons to thousands of students, and playing live gigs with R&B artists along the way.
In 2020 I started sharing my lessons on YouTube. Since then I've collaborated with over 20 guitar companies and built a community of 575K+ players across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
In R&B Neo-Soul Acoustic Guitar I bring everything I've learned into one step-by-step system, so you can play this genre with confidence, creativity and groove.

Questions?
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. One payment gives you lifetime access to the course, every PDF and backing track, all future updates, and the private R&B Neo-Soul Guitar Club, where you can post videos of your playing for feedback.
How is this different from your YouTube videos?
The course is massive by comparison: forty lessons deep, so we go into the small but important details I can't squeeze into a YouTube video. It's also progressive: each module builds on the last, so you never wonder what to work on next.
Can beginners take this course?
Yes, as long as you can play some basic bar chords. Every other chord shape and technique is taught along the way. If bar chords are still a struggle, get those under your fingers first.
What about intermediate and advanced players?
It's built for intermediate players who want to get into R&B and Neo-Soul on acoustic guitar and understand the progressions and the theory behind them. Advanced players use it to go deeper into the genre, or to review advanced music theory concepts directly on the guitar.
Do I need to read sheet music?
No. Every example comes with tabs you can download, and the videos show chord diagrams and theory graphics on screen. Standard notation is included too, for those who want it.
Is this only for Neo-Soul?
The course teaches everything you need for R&B Neo-Soul guitar, but the techniques, chords and theory go well beyond the genre. You'll use them in anything from rock and blues to jazz.
Is this a subscription?
No. It's a single payment of $197: no subscription and no payment plan. The course is yours for life.
What if it's not for me?
Every purchase is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it isn't the right fit, email me within 14 days and I'll personally refund you in full. See the refund policy.
