This lesson is so amazing because not only is the actual melody Corey plays quite simple, but it has SWING. So many blues players just hit the licks and play them without FEEL. Sure you can play the notes, but you gotta have SWING. Close your eyes, forget about the lick and how to play it, and just LISTEN. Put that into your playing, and you'll be a huge step above. And of course, Corey certain IS!
Thanks for another great lesson Corey! Your lessons not only give me some great material to play and practice, but also the understanding of the fretboard and how to use it. Skills and knowledge, right on!!!
Looking at the triads 1st really slows me down to see all the best note choices before going crazy on the scale. Thanks again for a eye opener for note choice
I've stated this before so if it sounds like old news........too bad because I feel this every time I watch one of Corey's new lessons! Two things: 1. Corey always makes us feel like he's just uncovering a new technique or blue note tone or concept on the guitar fretboard as he's explaining his great lessons but more importantly 2. Corey makes me want to expand or extend my own experimental playing on my own and keep asking myself "what if". What if I try another note in a scale or play a variance on the chord progression or play a different mode ............he keeps us all thinking and (hopefully) improving! Happy New Year again, buddy!! Jim C.
This lesson is such a lightbulb moment for me. Now I can finally improvise creatively. You've explained it so clearly too and you are a great teacher. Thanks
Awesome lesson really adds some sweetness to the pentatonic. Throwing it in helps carry the melody and breaks up the monotony. Look forward to experimenting with this concept more. Thanks!
Hi Corey this is scott you are excellent instructor I mean excellent after using your triad lesson the 21 minute try at lesson all the target notes major pentatonic all the other stuff I use doesn’t come close to using that triad and minor pentatonic after it’s absolutely changed everything for me absolutely fantastic incredible you are one of the best I’ve ever taken lessons from keep up all the great work really love your work
Thank you for another great lesson. I don't understand why you haven't hit 1 million subs yet, but please keep the great teaching coming. I am game for a deep dive course on this subject- just waiting on you to put one out!. 21 minutes and I am seeing the cord tones in the minor pentatonic and it sounds good. thanks again.
Glad it was helpful! My advice would be to see the triads for what they are and transition out of the CAGED mentality. I think it would be more helpful in the long run. Thanks for watching!
Very cool - I've been using the minor triads with the minor pentatonic - but major triads with a minor pentatonic for 7 chords - that is cool. That in addition to bending the m3 -> M3 and playing the 6-1 for the 4th or bending the f7 for the 5th - triads would make it more intuitive. Thanks.
Simple ,digestable and effective.. perfect lesson for my ability and aim. And since you asked. If i could just learn to swing and play jump blues. My confidence would soar
I was cleaning up yesterday and found my lunchbox CD set called Beg Scream & Shout “The big ol’ box of 60s soul. How I ever let this precious music get out of sight. . . gracious. I thought of you Corey and my fellow Congelio admirers when I heard That’s How It Feels by the Soul Clan. There is enough guitar mastery to feed a family of ten on this one recording. Yummy!
When you're like yeah that's rad and Corey says "that still sounds a little Mickey mouse." 😳 I have so much to learn but have learnt so much so far. It's a joy and THANK YOU!! Merry Christmas, happy Boxing day, May the Force be with you!
Corey, awesome lesson. Funny, I've been working on the triad/scale connection but using the major root, minor second and third, and major 4 and 5. Finding the connecting notes. Just need to work on triads all over the neck. You've given me some ideas to work on. Appreciate you my friend. Take care and thanks.
What a great lesson Corey. Fantastic job man! please make more such videos. Also, perhaps if possible, can you demonstrate and deconstruct actual riffs and licks from actual songs, that will also be helpful. Great work man. Loved it.
I've been wanting to step out to a local Blues Jam but haven't felt I have the skills yet, (or maybe it's just stage fright) So I'd love to see a lesson (or whole course) on how to fit in with the band. When to lay back and use triads and when to step out and tear it up with arpeggios and scales. How to play with a singer and how to follow a drummer and what to leave to the bass player. Keyboards? I'm lost. And all the HOW TO's of that. I've learned so much from you I feel almost ready to take it out to the world and embarrass myself HA. (hopefully not too much)
Great lesson. I have been practicing pentatonic scale and dominant 7 arpeggios and this really helped me see how to break out of that and start combining fragments. Also having fun with Corey's Complete Blues Vol. 1.
It’s interesting how RU-vid guitar channels fit for different people. I feel sorry for beginners because there is so much chaff out there but for intermediate players the good channels narrow rapidly and some players , despite being very good kind of miss getting the pitch right. They are either dumbing down too much or skipping essential information. I’d say this channel is one of the best I’ve seen for for the intermediate player. It’s just perfectly pitched. Kind of like a Jeff Mcerlain and ….erm I’m struggling to think of many others. Thanks for the data Corey
Nice work Corey! I've been making good progress on my soloing by focusing on smaller chunks of a scale, e.g. Root to Root or even less. Visualizing triads instead of the whole chord across 5 or 6 strings is another small chunk approach. Blending the two? Hey, that's genius! Thanks.
I assume the G Minor pentatonic is the scale you are alternating to between the triads. If not please let me know. :) This is my achiles heel and I am so greatful that you are giving me and the world access to this knowledge, and more importantly a practical easy way to start to use it. You will see me here again for sure! Thanks
Great Lesson!!! Thank You! Happy New Year! Just bought myself a "52 Reissue Tele in Butterscotch Blonde Maple Fretboard, neck & a Professional II Tele with Rosewood fretboard, Tri Burst.. : ) Merry Christmas to me! lol..
@@coreycongilio Yes, turned 59 on Nov 30th, thus had to buy/gift myself 2 Tele's.. #1 for B Day, #2 for Christmas.. Lol.. Next year looking to buy a Chet Akins Hollow Body Gretsch or Maybe The Gretch Nashville 6120.. Happy B Day to Me!!! : )
yhou actually played the first ;bar of 'Saint Louis Blues' (the very first blues to be written down) You were playing 'I hate to see....' the first line.
I love your ideas but they only seem to work with upbeat or funky blues. I can't seem to adapt these ideas to slow intense blues. Can you do a lesson on slow, deep blues?
In some lessons, I'll talk about how to adapt ideas to different rhythm feels. ALL musical ideas, licks etc can work over any type of groove, feel or style. This example is over a shuffle but, could easily be superimposed over a slow blues.
Corey, your opening four-note melody, starting on the third, reminds me of this blues song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TmbQVx6SGao.html
Great question. It's actually quite an arduous process of advancement. One of the tests is to respond to "douchey" comments and wait for my sensei's approval of the comment's content. Upon approval, we engage in a headwear ennoblement ceremony where I am elevated to the next tier. I'm extremely committed to this process and will not relent until Sombrero level is achieved. I hope you'll continue to observe my journey. Happy New Year!
