Learn essential R&B guitar chords and start sounding smoother, richer, and more professional in your playing.
In this lesson, I break down the core chord voicings every R&B guitarist should know, including major 7, minor 7, and dominant 7 chords. To show how these sounds work in a real musical setting, I use the classic song Saving All My Love for You by Whitney Houston as a practical example.
If you’re aiming for that soulful, expressive sound heard in R&B and neo-soul, these chord shapes and concepts will help you get there quickly.
In this video, you’ll learn:
🎸 Essential R&B chord voicings (maj7, min7, dom7)
🎸 How to apply these chords in a real song context
🎸 Neo-soul inspired chord shapes and movement
🎸 Tips for smoother voice leading and cleaner transitions
🎸 How to make simple chords sound more musical
These voicings are widely used in R&B, soul, and neo-soul, and are perfect for players looking to move beyond basic open chords and develop a more polished, modern sound.
This lesson is ideal for:
Beginner to intermediate guitarists
Players interested in R&B, soul, and neo-soul
Anyone wanting to improve chord vocabulary and musicality
If you enjoy artists like D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, or H.E.R., these chord ideas will fit perfectly into your playing.
