If you're just getting into neo soul piano and don't know where to start, learning this harmonic movement is absolutely essential.

It's made up of two chords, Am7 and Abmaj7. You'll hear guys like Robert Glasper use this progression all the time.

It's important to spend some time exploring this progression with different voicings, as well as coming up with melodic phrases that fit over both chords.

This is like the 251 of neo-jazz. Make sure to transpose it to several other keys as well. Have fun!
