R&B is part of the foundation of modern pop music. The guitarists who played on those songs didn’t just bang out chords. They created unique, memorable guitar parts while still keeping the groove. Learn the sounds, styles and techniques of the greats like Steve Cropper, Cornell Dupree, and Reggie Young.
In Classic R&B Guitar we start by covering some of the basic techniques of the masters – some of their building block chords and techniques. Then we’ll cover 6 performance studies taken from popular songs:
- Soul Man
- Memphis Soul Stew
- Rainy Night In Georgia
- Snatching It Back
- Back Stabbers
- Slow Dancing In a Burning Room
Tabs and backing tracks for each study. Pick up your guitar and let’s learn some classic R&B!

Hi, I'm Mark
I grew up in Detroit, USA and I've played guitar for over 45 years—and taught students for 30+ years. I've played in bands from R&B/Motown to Bluegrass to Rock. I enjoy all sorts of music, mostly how much fun it is to play and share with others.
