Virtually every style of popular music today features rhythm guitar work inspired by legendary guitarists such as Steve Cropper, Spanky Alford, Curtis Mayfield, Jimmy Johnson, Cornell Dupree, Leo Nocentelli, Eddie "Chank" Willis, Marv Tarplin, and Reggie Young. Their ‘soulful’ contributions to literally hundreds of hit songs have influenced every generation of guitar players to come.

Rock, Pop, Blues, R&B, or even Singer-Songwriter — whatever your preferred style happens to be, inject a little ‘soul’ into your rhythm guitar work to majorly spice up your originals, covers, and jams. There’s no better, or quicker way to learn how to do that than jumping on the bus with James Hogan as he guides you through his Soul Rhythm Guitar edition of Essentials.

”We'll start the course with some killer riff-based ideas from Motown legends Eddie "Chank" Willis and Marv Tarplin. From there, we'll head down to "Soulsville, U.S.A." to Memphis' Stax Records where we'll check out some funky 6th intervals and fat chord grooves inspired by Steve Cropper of Booker T. & The MG's and Reggie Young from American Sound Studios Memphis Boys.

We'll cruise up to Chicago for some gospel inspired, chordal brilliance from Curtis Mayfield and then work our way back down south down to Muscle Shoals, Alabama for some greasy soul grooves in the style of Jimmy Johnson and The Swampers! We'll head over to New Orleans and jam to a bluesy piano inspired riff from legendary pianist Allen Toussaint and a funky guitar groove from The Meters' legendary guitarist Leo Nocentelli.

We'll then head to Philadelphia to investigate a smooth Philly soul styled groove and finally, we’ll dig into some gospel infused Neo-soul guitar that pays tribute to the late great Spanky Alford!”

James presents 10 Soul Rhythm Guitar performance studies to cover the definitive range of soul guitar grooves. He’ll perform every groove over a rhythm track, and then break it down for you measure-by-measure.

All of the performance studies are tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes. You’ll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can play, loop and/or slow down the tab and notation as you work through the lessons. Plus, James includes all of the backing tracks for you to work with on your own.

Grab your guitar and let’s get soulful with James Hogan!

nJoy!
