I recently discovered your channel, and I love it! I have loved blues since I was a child and just picked up the guitar again in my 50s after a long layoff. I am really connecting with your teaching method and approach to playing.
6:03 When I first learned that the 5th was a bit superfluous I was really confused. Wasn't it an integral part of the triad? Then I started listening closely to the harmonies created by the intervals. Listen to the root and the 5th together. They really meld in such a way that the 5th doesn't add any color. It sort of adds thickness to the sound but not color (which is why it's so great in a power chord). But dropping the 5th doesn't change the quality of the sound so you don't need it. Then if the bass player is hammering on the root you could possible drop that too. That's why the 3rd and 7th are so important to jazz.
@@SonsOfThunder229 what who’s not supposed to do? the chord tones and the feel will give you what you need to do, the ears will tell you. Do you think Albert King or muddy Waters stop and said, wait a minute I’m not supposed to do this.? 😑
Corey is one of the very best out there, not only playing the blues, but teaching the Blues! I belong to working class, Guitar, Cory’s Guitar site… And I have several of his amazing courses, including this one. Do yourself a favor, sign up to working class, Guitar and take these courses !
Corey, you are a born teacher, an awesome guitar player and definitely a master of blues music. Thank you for making everything so clear and giving so much desire to play.
I have a hard time playing full chords because of my hand tremors. These 3 note chords using Key notes that identify the type of chords, are heck of a lot easier for me to play. I watched a couple of your other videos of you teaching these type of chords. Thanks for posting this! It makes playing a little easier for me.
Working on 9 and 6 chords dug around fun this brilliant lesson it has really helped in understanding them , loved the pdf and backing track , really cements the information down, thank you Corey I'm having some fun with the backing track with little bit improve , lol
Thanks for explaining this so thoroughly. Now I can go get Chain Lightning by Steely Dan again. Donald Fagan was breaking it down on the keyboard for a jazz pianist friend on RUclips. Then there is the Rick Derringer solo over the 6th 9th thing. Some king of minor pentatonic with a few other notes thrown in. Oh, you are a great player. Makes it really fun to watch your lessons. Top notch.
Great lesson Corey! I know most all of this by ear but your explanation is Golden to me as I have an attention deficit of sorts; could just be laziness, I dunno but it’s also helped me to be able to play professionally since 1969. I do however understand enough theory to get the understanding of what you’re teaching. Thanks Sir!
Corey, this is great revisit lesson- your explain is terrific. I know the chord patterns but used a stab/wild guess (which does get ”luckier” with time!) and just slide up or down to the right sounding place on the neck. Yea, it’s tentative… After this, I’ll be hitting these Chords with shocking certainty! Thanks.
Great Lesson Corey! This was great timing with where I am in my learning and made a lot of sense to me. I will be able to apply this for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Great lesson Corey! Really demonstrates how to get a jazzier Blues feel with chords that are very playable almost immediately with a few hours practice! Love your lessons, have learned so much!
So much gold on your channel! Thank you, these are amazing lessons. Had a few questions on dom7 chords on the tip of my brain for the last few days that are now answered. Thank you!
Great lesson! Glad you talked about the “Why and What” of these chord shapes. My teacher is working with me on Fat Chord voicings...similar concept, just the bottom four strings, leaving the root note of the 1 in the bass. A la Freddie Green.
Thanks for the explain on the chords with the root removed. I have your course at Brett Pappa "Complete Blues 1&2" and both are great, but the idea of having chords without roots was kinda throwing me even though I've incorporated them into my playing (as my skill level at the moment allows) because they just sound so cool. I tend to over think so I came to the mental conclusion that the chord has such a strong suggestion, even without the root it works and sounds great and that's what counts. Thanks for the good work Corey.
I rarely post but this is awesome. Truly the best, most clear and useful explanation that I’ve seen. Explaining the theory -the relationship to the triad , forming the 6th, then showing the relationship to 9th was really great info. Awesome and then demonstrating technique. Immediately incorporated this into a jam and actually understand it !!!Thank you Corey -I also really dig your TrueFire stuff as well.
Great lesson man. About as good as free lessons get. When I heard the example I heard " You're gonna miss me little baby, the day that I'm gone" I love anything even remotely SRV
Thanks Corey! This fits right in with the rhythm sections of your Complete Blues Vol 2 course. The way you explain the theory behind the chord shapes and formations is so very useful!!! Great lesson!!
Thank you Corey. Amazing how the same fingering of a chord can result in different chords "names" depending upon the context of the vamp and what the bass note is, whether you're playing it or not...
I always say not all great players are also great at teaching, but you sure are! Can you maybe explain how you vibrato chords? I find it difficult without muting adjacent strings, especially on the rootless 9th voicing.
Another really clearly explain lesson. I feel like I'm finally starting to understand how chords, melody and rhythm fit together. Theory is pitched at just the right level for me. I'm working through your Complete Blues Guitar Vol 1 lessons as well, so my brain is getting wired with all this great stuff!
I had no idea there were d chords without a d note. Who took the d? Thanks for these lessons. They've helped some. Still confused years later after beginning theory wayyy too late in my playing. Funny how I've used all the chords I'm learning about yet don't understand much at all

Hence a power chord, basically what youre not supposed to do in classical music.

Nothing better than waking up with a new lesson and a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning
Ha! Enjoy!
Wholeheartedly agree, especially a lesson from Corey!
💯 Although, admittedly I went through this lesson with my second cup of joe on a Sunday morning 😊
Corey is awesome! What a great Teacher and phenomenal player!

Agree, Corey is awesome Teacher and fantastic player!
Chain Lighting ... it feels so good.
Thanks Corey!
Lord! my fingers feel like they know what they're doing now! you're awesome teacher Corey
That’s great! Thx!
Cool lesson. When I get frustrated trying to play hard stuff, I always go back to this type progression. Thanks

YES~! The right angle plug cable make an appearance. It's frees your right arm movement across the top, plus I'm not going crazy now. Thanks Corey~!
It was the one that was plugged in at the time lol
Great Lesson Corey! This was great timing with where I am in my learning and made a lot of sense to me. I will be able to apply this for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
That's jazzy blues accompaniment, great
Corey, you made me blow dust off my old Tele. Thank you.
Great Corey!! You're making me a better musician! Thank You so much! So clear, so clever, so useful!
Happy to help!
Corey, I really like the way you teach. You keep it simple and engaging and don’t play so slow that you fall asleep. Great job and thank you!
Great lesson Corey! Really demonstrates how to get a jazzier Blues feel with chords that are very playable almost immediately with a few hours practice! Love your lessons, have learned so much!
Wow ! what a great explanation! you are an excellent teacher and I learned a lot (guitar and English !) Thanks a lot . Greetings from Paris.

'Neck real estate' :-) You are a poet, mate.
Haha thx!!
Top tips, thank you very much.
Very welcome!
Fantastic thanks Corey
Very clear and usful lesson Corey, like always I appreciate a lot your gifts, thank you so much!
My pleasure!
Great lesson! Can we please have more lessons on blues rhythm playing? So many lessons out there focus on lead, rhythm seems to get overlooked.
Thanks for clarifying that the 9 11 and 13 are added to the dom 7
I always say not all great players are also great at teaching, but you sure are! Can you maybe explain how you vibrato chords? I find it difficult without muting adjacent strings, especially on the rootless 9th voicing.
You are a brilliant teacher. Very interesting stuff!
Thanks! 😃
Thanks Corey!
My pleasure
A really great lesson Corey. Thank you very very much. Could you play a little longer? I get inspiration that way. And delight. D
Maybe next time!
Another really clearly explain lesson. I feel like I'm finally starting to understand how chords, melody and rhythm fit together. Theory is pitched at just the right level for me. I'm working through your Complete Blues Guitar Vol 1 lessons as well, so my brain is getting wired with all this great stuff!
Wow, thx! Hope you’re enjoying it!
Such valuable lessons! Thank you!
My pleasure
Very cool, nice feel
Thx!
Great stuff as always. Love this one, too. You made my day, dude!
Love to hear that
Great lesson Corey, I thought I was listening to Little Walter...Just need to include the harp...Thanks.
Oh yeah!!!!
I wish more peeps would start their videos with the groove being taught.
You have my thumb up👍 as always😉
Thank you kindly
There is always cool info in your lessons Corey. Thank you🙏🙏🙏
