Truefire Callum Bair's Essentials Modern RnB [TUTORiAL]

In Modern R&B guitar, it’s not just what you play, but how you play it. To master the feel and flavor of the genre, you need tight rhythm, tasteful chords, and a confident touch that makes every note sit just right in the pocket.

In “Essentials: Modern R&B,” Callum Bair takes you inside the world of modern R&B guitar through 10 performance studies, blending the timeless textures of classic soul and funk with the modern stylings of neo-soul, hip-hop, and pop-infused R&B. Each study includes a full performance, detailed breakdowns, and practical insight into how to bring these ideas into your own playing.

“The more you work through these grooves and performance studies, the more confident you’ll feel in any musical setting—whether you’re gigging, recording, or just sharpening your skills,” says Callum.

You’ll explore:

• Modern R&B chord progressions and voicing techniques
• Funk-inspired rhythm parts and pocket grooves
• Melodic phrasing, embellishments, and expressive touch
• Tone-shaping insights including pickup selection and effects
• Real-world skills for recording, jamming, or performing live

You’ll also get full band backing tracks to immediately apply and innovate on what you learn at every step. Plus, you’ll have access to TrueFire’s learning tools including synced tab, slow-mo, looping, and fretboard animations so you can practice each idea with precision and feel.

So grab your guitar and let’s join Callum Bair in exploring the sounds, styles, and skills that power modern R&B.
