This kind of lesson is the glue that got me really understanding the instrument. Especially when I built on it - here is the chord shape, the arpeggio, the scale - all interconnected. Chord hit, arpeggio fill up, chord hit, scale down. Imply the chord with the 3rd and b7, or the 3rd and the 5th, arpeggio up scale down. Try the E Blues scale and the E Maj. scale and Mixolydian. It’s when I started repacking all those parts and seeing how they fit together that I started seeing the whole suitcase. Then you don’t need tabs or chord charts, it’s all in your head.
You laid that out perfectly! This is the same approach I make when improvising as well. I also like adding in the harmonic minor over the dominant chord as well. The choices are limitless.
Just found your channel thanks for fixing my boredom. Your a good teacher and I may never be able to phrase as good as you but it can still be fun. God bless n rock on
Corey your lessons are exactly what I need now in my playing. This is the leap out of pentatonic and into the hip stuff. I have heard advanced players doing this but I never knew how to emulate. I found your channel about 4 days ago and you have literally breathed new life into my playing. Thank you!
I’m a country player, and this vid has really helped to take my playing to the next level. Thanks I really appreciate your vids. I paused vid with in the first minute of vid to subscribe to this channel. Great stuff
Hey Corey. Another ace lesson. You're one of the best teachers in the world. I bought your recent course Rock Blues Connection and your Outside Lines vid on truefire is one of my all time favorite courses. Anyone reading this: if you want to take a course on stuff you can actually immediately use at your next gig or jam, look no further. Corey's stuff is the BEST! -Mark
Hey, I too, have a TC Electronics Polytune. If we have the same tuner, why can't I sound like Corey? Doesn't make sense. But Corey, your fan base is growing, and SHOULD be. You're an excellent communicator, not only for the "what" we're doing, but you also show the "why", and how it fits together. It has purpose, all those notes. There is ZERO fluff. I have a couple of your True Fire courses, and highly recommend them. Speaking for those who do not comment; we appreciate SO very much your sharing this with us. It's loads of work to put out this content. I hope you get many more financial supporters. Thank you for all this!
Corey!! You're like a mind reader!! My one very talented Texas based guitar playing guru buddy Joe Reyes keeps hammering on me to practice arps and triads until I can basically play them in my sleep. Your buddy Brett Papa has some cool exercises and studies but then you top it all with this great well thought out lesson!! Thanks buddy!! Miss you on Thursdays!! Jim C.
Another great and most importantly practical lesson. It was probably obvious to everyone but me, but I have found sometimes starting the arpeggios on the other degrees of the chord (3rd, 5th, 7th) is a great way to make my playing and my students playing more musical and sound less like mechanical . Thanks again, Corey. You are a gifted player and teacher.
So since I'm logged in I wanted to make a comment. As a player I have found your approach to instructing very help. More helpful than many pro musicians selling online now in this new digital world. Im a (dr) basically and don't have as much time anymore to rehearse and review basic concepts. So I wanted to let others know that if I had the time I would purchase your time and take lessons, as you would be a prime choice for really learning the concepts that can be used for improve , knowing what, why, and when to play something to really get into a great groove. Seriously I hope you keep going in this online mode and I'll def be around for more- Thanks Corey
This is brilliant! I'll usually do a top to bottom and back again arpeggio and THEN switch to the blue's scale in that position. This is a WAY COOLER sounding concept! Thanks!
I mainly play fingerstyle acoustic blues . Most of the 'blues channels ' are electric and I get that but they all seem to emphasize blistering runs filled with distortions and lots of 'fret 3 to 5 to 7 to 9 back to 11 then 5 and finish on 3 ' . Nothing about notes or basic theory. Your channel is the exception....thoughtful , detailed (while very approachable) , with an appreciation about getting to know the keyboard. Content has been so helpful! and is easily applicable to the electric or acoustic player . You asked for suggestions about future lessons....would love some acoustic slow and/or delta blues . Thx again for all the wonderful lessons
Great lesson, I’ve got all the triad/ arpeggio shapes down and dug into these concepts. And then I find I actually don’t have the fluidity between triad / arpeg. shapes as I thought I did. So it’s backwards to go forward . But I can now use these fun musical concepts to increases the fluidity between shapes , scales, triads & arpeg., that I want. Good stuff.
This is the exact area I'm working through the past few weeks and is also one of my goals for the year, to finally be able to apply all the scale, chords, triads arpeggio stuff. I'm so happy I came across your channel Corey! Can't wait to try out the practice method you presented in the vid!
Dude, don't get demotivated! Rest assured that your efforts are well appreciated! Incidentally, I'm a 90% tenor saxophone to 10% guitar player and this session is 100% applicable to the sax. I loved it, so much that I listened to it twice, end to end. Please keep up the great work. I'm going to share this with my daughter as soon as she's ready for this level. She just started on electric guitar this weekend, fingers crossed she's going to stick at it.
Excellent lesson here Corey. Many have tried but no one has given a proper lesson on Country Blues guitar phrasing. We all know the Caged system, Triads, Dom 7th Major scales, chromaticisms, bends, chicken picking, hybrid picking and many licks but the actual phrasing - passage building, order of notes, visualizing where to go while the chords are changing - no one has made a clear lesson - yet.
@@coreycongilio Absolutely agree. It would be very difficult for me to believe that it would be just 1 lesson. Although there must be some starting point, no? It can't just be ascending and descending runs from lowest to highest notes and back. In Rock and Blues, phrasing seems to be much simpler, especially that one can hang on a note or bend it and that alone gives time for thought as to where to go to next. Country doesn't seem to afford this in its phrasings.
Thanks Corey… really like taking arpeggios and implementing them into what I already know with the pentatonic major and blue scales… This lesson specifically gives a way to implement Arpeggios in a a very user-friendly manner! Really helpful!
Corey. This is a great exercise for developing the mixture of major and minor in lead playing. The E7 arpeggio or "Dominant" chord is also referred to as a "Major-Minor chord", as it includes the major 3rd (G#) and a b7 (D). The minor pentatonic scale flattens the G (b3rd) and has the same b7 (dominant) along with adding the A (4th.) This will help train muscle memory between the two modes. I've enjoyed yours lessons. Please post if or when you plan to start livestreams again. I've scheduled my physical therapy around Thursday afternoons.. ;-) Best, Sam.
Thank you!! Coery for the awesome lesson, Im already making sweet licks & meaningful solos in my BLUES playing . Keep up the Great teaching you doing!!
Thanks Corey. I really appreciate that you continue to teach this concept in multiple videos. Personally, I find this approach much more helpful than just a single lesson. It really helps me get the concept under my fingers and into my playing. 🤘

There ya go!
That’s how Joe Pass did it exactly. It must work!
You laid that out perfectly! This is the same approach I make when improvising as well. I also like adding in the harmonic minor over the dominant chord as well. The choices are limitless.
Your comment inspired me to sit, watch, and think about this. It made so much sense! I don't know why I never looked at it this way before..... lol
This just opened up the door and a light came on Thanks I needed that.
Arpeggio up, scale down. Super useful. Love the playing. Subscribed.
Thx so much!!
This lesson is so rich … lots of useful stuff to learn and you’re a great teacher. Thanks very much. Greetings from the UK.
Just found your channel thanks for fixing my boredom. Your a good teacher and I may never be able to phrase as good as you but it can still be fun. God bless n rock on

Wow that’s great to hear. Thx so much!
Lightbulb moment mystery unfolded thanks Cory! Been trying to understand the use of arps for a year!
That’s awesome!
Your guitar playing and teaching is very touching thank you so much 💓 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💙
This. This! This is what I needed. Now. Right now! Thanks!
No matter how many lesson you bring on the 7th arpeggio.....there's always something new.
Thank you CC.
I’m a country player, and this vid has really helped to take my playing to the next level. Thanks I really appreciate your vids. I paused vid with in the first minute of vid to subscribe to this channel. Great stuff
Glad to hear it!
Thx Corey, just what I have neen looking for. Will check out your handbook

I appreciate that thoughtful comment! Thanks!
I’m really enjoying your videos and style. I’ve been taking Tim Pierce’s master class and stumbled on your stuff through him.
You've inspired me to pull out my arpeggio book and work them back into my playing.
Corey!!! hello my friend! I'm a big fan of your channel! Top quality content and teaching! Big hug from Brazil!
Awesome! Thank you!
Corey!! You're like a mind reader!! My one very talented Texas based guitar playing guru buddy Joe Reyes keeps hammering on me to practice arps and triads until I can basically play them in my sleep. Your buddy Brett Papa has some cool exercises and studies but then you top it all with this great well thought out lesson!! Thanks buddy!! Miss you on Thursdays!! Jim C.
As you said: THIS IS FUN!!! And a little hard work. Thanks Corey for that lesson. It's always a pleasure to get teached by you.
Appreciate that!
Been working this! Super fun!!
A little dash of flavor can really spice things up nicely. Great job man. Thank you!
Enjoying this new way to play arpeggios! Thanks!
Glad you enjoy it!

Agreed on that approach. I do that a lot. Appreciate the kind words
What a great lesson 👏 this lesson is very helpful for me thank you so much 💓 🙏
Love this! As a player approaching my 60's, this is really refreshing and ear/eye opening. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous way to practice both, thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Cory. I never fail to take away something valuable from your lessons.
I appreciate that!
Game changer!! Thank you.

Glad it helped!
Killer, Killer, lesson. Thank you so much Corey-You're an amazing teacher
Thank you so much!
Very nice and essential lesson .. Thank u very much
This is brilliant! I'll usually do a top to bottom and back again arpeggio and THEN switch to the blue's scale in that position. This is a WAY COOLER sounding concept! Thanks!
I had a guitar teacher who taught me a very similar approach, always found it the best way to learn and play some music, great lesson, nice job !
Thank you so much. Great lesson!
I just gound this channel last week and its already unlocked my playing . I still suck but alot less
I mainly play fingerstyle acoustic blues .

Great suggestions. Thx for that!
Another great video @coreycongilio I like how I'm able to make connections to what I learn and then can actually go back and play.
Glad you dug it!
Thanks so much Corey. The scale/chord connection is so cool to explore.
Glad you enjoyed!
Great lesson, I’ve got all the triad/ arpeggio shapes down and dug into these concepts. And then I find I actually don’t have the fluidity between triad / arpeg. shapes as I thought I did.

Thanks Corey! love your lessons :)
Great lesson, very helpful… thankyou
Great lesson, thanks for posting 👍👍👍
Excellent tips and examples. I had those tools in my hands and always found it difficult to connect them. Great and many thanks!
Beautiful SG
Thanks Corey great lesson .
This is the exact area I'm working through the past few weeks and is also one of my goals for the year, to finally be able to apply all the scale, chords, triads arpeggio stuff. I'm so happy I came across your channel Corey! Can't wait to try out the practice method you presented in the vid!
That’s great to hear!
Really good flow/tempo to your lesson. Good pedagogy!
Really great approach Corey. Always great to trick us into learning the neck WHILE making some real music.
Hey thx Keith! Haha that’s the plan!
Hey Keith, yeah what a simple highly effective way to practice right.
Very tasty licks my guy 🤘🏽
Awesome lesson Corey! I love learning how to use arpeggios melodically in my solos!
Wonderful lesson Corey! you sound great!!
Thanks so much!
Great usable idea!
Dude, don't get demotivated! Rest assured that your efforts are well appreciated! Incidentally, I'm a 90% tenor saxophone to 10% guitar player and this session is 100% applicable to the sax. I loved it, so much that I listened to it twice, end to end. Please keep up the great work. I'm going to share this with my daughter as soon as she's ready for this level. She just started on electric guitar this weekend, fingers crossed she's going to stick at it.
Thx so much and all the best to both of you!
That slide and walk down @ 8:52 sounds exactly like this Luther Allison lick I’ve been trying to incorporate for a while. I love it.👍
Very clear and useful concept, thanks!
I love your blues !!
Thx!
Thanks for the lesson my guy

Corey, great lesson! I did not find the E7 vamp in the drop box tracks.
Not sure I made that one available
Useful lesson. Thanks
Great lesson Corey. Many thanks indeed - brilliant stuff!

Cut, edit, thanks Corey that really helps. I got a lot out of this lesson. Cheers Steve
Glad to hear it!
Thanks Corey , I found you this morning and it's Thanksgiving day , I'm thankful that I found you . New subscriber here man .
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much!
love it, just reinforcing the earlier arpeggio lessons you put up previously.......which immediately improved my blues playing (out of the box) :)
Awesome!
So glad I found your channel! I think you're not only an amazing guitar player but also a fantastic educator.
And what a tone! So spongy yet super clear!
Thx so much!

This was fantastic!
Corey , when can I see you live ? I am so amazed by you.
💦 💦
Thanks Corey. I really appreciate that you continue to teach this concept in multiple videos. Personally, I find this approach much more helpful than just a single lesson. It really helps me get the concept under my fingers and into my playing. 🤘
Awesome. My pleasure
Great lesson
Thanks for the lesson, mate!! What a concept! Much love
My pleasure
