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.
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!
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!
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Pretty good concept. I I can see many possibilities mixing the dom 7th arpeggio, or Mixolydian mode with the minor pentatonic scale. This is common practice for some players. It opens new doors and windows to get out of simply playing old minor pentatonic licks. I was going to say this guy can't be legit, he doesn't own any Fenders, but I spotted a couple. I prefer the single coil tone obviously. I'll be back to check out your other material. Well done!
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.
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!
Computer bass, computer drum, computer track is a Midi track. Midi stands for musical interface digital instrument, thats what Corey meant to say..Great lesson!
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. 🤘
Hey Corey. Your lessons are awesome and I know your earlier work through the TrueFire courses as well. Keep it up! Your lessons are truly helpful for a lot of guitar players and definitely keep me inspired. All the best. PtG 👍😀
Great lesson Corey! I love the "musical" element this approach puts on the table - major 3rd going up, minor 3rd coming back... maybe even a blue note too... give the lead a little diminished color... this gets the creative juices flowing. Very cool. Well played, sir!
This are great for blending major and minor pentatonics and have a mixolydian feel to them. I never new them as dominant 7s but would use them when combining pentatonics and mixolydian mode. Great lesson!
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!!
Great lesson it’s fun to sub in other options for the minor pentatonic once you get that under your belt. Mixing major and minor pentatonic or just full minor scales mixed with full major scales helps you phrase with those semitones present. This channel is full of great lessons

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
Arpeggio up, scale down. Super useful. Love the playing. Subscribed.
Thx so much!!

Great suggestions. Thx for that!
I just gound this channel last week and its already unlocked my playing . I still suck but alot less
This lesson is so rich … lots of useful stuff to learn and you’re a great teacher. Thanks very much. Greetings from the UK.
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!
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.
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.
Agreed on that approach. I do that a lot. Appreciate the kind words
I’m really enjoying your videos and style. I’ve been taking Tim Pierce’s master class and stumbled on your stuff through him.
Excellent lesson here Corey. Many have tried but no one has given a proper lesson on Country Blues guitar phrasing.

This is the second video of yours ive seen. Both today. Right now back to back. You just got a new sub. I learned from this one.
Awesome! Thank you!
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!
No matter how many lesson you bring on the 7th arpeggio.....there's always something new.
Thank you CC.
Enjoying this new way to play arpeggios! Thanks!
Glad you enjoy it!
You are a great teacher, I am very happy I found your channel! Looking forward for more, keep it up!
thx so much!
Corey!!! hello my friend! I'm a big fan of your channel! Top quality content and teaching! Big hug from Brazil!
Awesome! Thank you!
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!
Game changer!! Thank 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.👍
Love this! As a player approaching my 60's, this is really refreshing and ear/eye opening. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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 !
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!
you're really good. I appreciate this lesson.
Been working this! Super fun!!
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!
Lightbulb moment mystery unfolded thanks Cory! Been trying to understand the use of arps for a year!
That’s awesome!
What a great lesson 👏 this lesson is very helpful for me thank you so much 💓 🙏

Corey , when can I see you live ? I am so amazed by you.
💦 💦
You've inspired me to pull out my arpeggio book and work them back into my playing.
Computer bass, computer drum, computer track is a Midi track. Midi stands for musical interface digital instrument, thats what Corey meant to say..Great lesson!
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
Thank you Cory. I never fail to take away something valuable from your lessons.
I appreciate that!
Thanks Corey! love your lessons :)
Great lesson! Thank you!
Fantastic lesson, thanks!
This stuff is pure gold. Wish i found this channel before. I hear a lot of great motifs and phrasing in this too.
Glad it helped!
This was fantastic!
Awesome lesson Corey! I love learning how to use arpeggios melodically in my solos!
A little dash of flavor can really spice things up nicely. Great job man. Thank you!
Beautiful SG
Corey can do more in one chord then I can with a whole song, keep ripping bro, sounds killer
Hey Corey. Your lessons are awesome and I know your earlier work through the TrueFire courses as well. Keep it up! Your lessons are truly helpful for a lot of guitar players and definitely keep me inspired. All the best. PtG 👍😀
Thx for this!
I have heard of this before but forgot how it went, thanks for cool 🆒️ lesson..
Great lesson Corey! I love the "musical" element this approach puts on the table - major 3rd going up, minor 3rd coming back... maybe even a blue note too... give the lead a little diminished color... this gets the creative juices flowing. Very cool. Well played, sir!
Wonderful lesson Corey! you sound great!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks Corey great lesson .
love it, just reinforcing the earlier arpeggio lessons you put up previously.......which immediately improved my blues playing (out of the box) :)
Awesome!
You deserve about 100x the subscribers you currently have. While you're on your way there, I'll be clicking that thumbs up :)
Thx so much. Workin on it!
Very nice and essential lesson .. Thank u very much
Amazing lesson! I've been looking for something like that such a long time. Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad it helped!
I’m literally, LITERALLY dealing with this issue...thank you so much
My pleasure!
Excellent tips and examples. I had those tools in my hands and always found it difficult to connect them. Great and many thanks!
Beautiful Lessons👍
Thank you!
Great Lesson. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Wow, a few shades of Robben Ford in there. Great lesson!
🙏🏻
This are great for blending major and minor pentatonics and have a mixolydian feel to them. I never new them as dominant 7s but would use them when combining pentatonics and mixolydian mode. Great lesson!
Hi, first time I have seen any of your lessons. Good job , will work on it. Subscribed.
Thank you.
Wow thx! Lots more on the channel. Have a look around!
Fabulous way to practice both, thank you!!!!!!!!!
Great lesson, very helpful… thankyou
Thanks for the lesson my guy
Great approach- I think just what I needed. Thanks Cory!
Dude, anyone ever tell you you look like Frank Zappa? He was also a legendary guitar player. Nice lesson, ties everything together, bravo!
I Was Frank for Halloween once!
Thanks so much Corey. The scale/chord connection is so cool to explore.
Glad you enjoyed!
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!!
Very welcome!
I learn so much here. Great lessons. I love blues and i found right channel. Thank you so much man!!! Hugs from Brazil.
Thank you!
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!
This is gold Corey! Love it!
Thx so much!
Awesome, thanks so much, such a generous gift!
My pleasure!
Thank you bud excellent-good moviation
Great lesson it’s fun to sub in other options for the minor pentatonic once you get that under your belt. Mixing major and minor pentatonic or just full minor scales mixed with full major scales helps you phrase with those semitones present. This channel is full of great lessons
Glad you enjoyed!
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!
I'm in love with your feel and phrasing.
Fantastic playing Corey! I use this approach with my students as well! Well done and have a blessed evening!!
