Hey Hayden,
Thanks so much for putting this together. I really enjoyed the seminar! It was so inspiring and gave me a fresh set of ideas, along with a deeper appreciation for the genre.
Do you have anything planned for 2025 to explore Neo Soul in more depth or maybe dive into R&B? I’d love to keep learning and growing my understanding!
Thanks,
Gustavo Federighi

Hi Gustavo,
Thanks for the comment. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed the seminar. Neo Soul isn’t a style that I play very often, but there is a lot of crossover with jazz voicings so it’s certainly something that I can teach more of in 2025.
I have added some Neo Soul seminars and a dedicated course to my upcoming lesson schedule so that we can explore similar topics in more detail. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on any updates. If you have any questions in the interim, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Enjoy the lessons and talk soon.
Best,
Hayden.
