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
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
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
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.
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. 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!
After this lesson it's like I have a whole new fretboard!!!!! Linking all the Arpeggios together is like when I learned how to link all the major and minor pentatonic scales together!!! Without this lesson, it's no wonder I was stuck! Just wait until someone tells me that you don't need Arpeggios! That's like eating only part of a Gormet dinner😂 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!
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 👍😀
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 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!
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

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!!
This just opened up the door and a light came on Thanks I needed that.
Cool lesson, I'm 69 years old, and I started playing again, I love blues rock. Thanks friend.
Thanks so much! Jump around the channel. Lots more at my lesson site www.workingclassguitar.com

Wow that’s great to hear. 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.
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.👍

No matter how many lesson you bring on the 7th arpeggio.....there's always something new.
Thank you CC.
Your guitar playing and teaching is very touching thank you so much 💓 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💙

Agreed on that approach. I do that a lot. Appreciate the kind words
This. This! This is what I needed. Now. Right now! Thanks!
Corey!!! hello my friend! I'm a big fan of your channel! Top quality content and teaching! Big hug from Brazil!

You are a great teacher, I am very happy I found your channel! Looking forward for more, keep it up!

You've inspired me to pull out my arpeggio book and work them back into my playing.

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 💓 🙏
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.

Glad to hear 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!
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!
Hi I got your 50 blues rhythms on true fire .. fantastic well worth getting

Glad you enjoy it!
Been working this! Super fun!!
Love this! As a player approaching my 60's, this is really refreshing and ear/eye opening. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thx so much and all the best to both of you!
Thx Corey, just what I have neen looking for. Will check out your handbook
Corey, great lesson! I did not find the E7 vamp in the drop box tracks.
Not sure I made that one available
Fabulous way to practice both, thank you!!!!!!!!!
A little dash of flavor can really spice things up nicely. Great job man. Thank you!
Excellent tips and examples. I had those tools in my hands and always found it difficult to connect them. Great and many thanks!
Game changer!! Thank you.
Thank you Cory. I never fail to take away something valuable from your lessons.
I appreciate that!
I’m really enjoying your videos and style. I’ve been taking Tim Pierce’s master class and stumbled on your stuff through him.
Awesome lesson Corey! I love learning how to use arpeggios melodically in my solos!
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!
Killer, Killer, lesson. Thank you so much Corey-You're an amazing teacher
Thank you so much!
I just gound this channel last week and its already unlocked my playing . I still suck but alot less

Very nice and essential lesson .. Thank u very much
Great approach- I think just what I needed. Thanks Cory!
Beautiful SG

Awesome lesson.. Thank you :)
Glad you liked 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!
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!
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 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
Really good flow/tempo to your lesson. Good pedagogy!
Useful lesson. Thanks
Thanks Corey! love your lessons :)
love it, just reinforcing the earlier arpeggio lessons you put up previously.......which immediately improved my blues playing (out of the box) :)
Awesome!
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'm in love with your feel and phrasing.
Thanks a lot Corey...very cool lesson. Love this approach.
My pleasure!
Great lesson. 😊😊😊
Man, this was super helpful!! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Corey can do more in one chord then I can with a whole song, keep ripping bro, sounds killer
Great usable idea!
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!

Thank you.
Wow thx! Lots more on the channel. Have a look around!
I love your blues !!
Thx!
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

Fantastic playing Corey! I use this approach with my students as well! Well done and have a blessed evening!!
