This is one of the problems we have, If we idolize people, we don't appreciate the everyday people in our lives. I don't believe in idolizing people. If I meet you I will call you Corey. Connections are important. I watched this video all the way through and I'll continue to keep playing it over and over again so I can learn it, but I always love your insight on people.
05:08 The formula to find the available triad pair on a dominant chord is: a whole step below and fourth above. Ex. for a G7, you can play an F and a C triad to spice a G7 chord. Thanks Corey for sharing this tip.
I am a big fan of your lessons Corey and this is just a superb one, especially considering it is free. If anyone is in the fence, I highly recommend getting any of your courses.
You're one of the best guitar teachers out there. Certainly my favorite. And a great great player as well. The tone, the phrasing, the feel, vibrato... The whole package
Love that you are playing an Epiphone…..I always believe it is 80% the player and 20% the equipment when you hear a great sound! This proves my theory…good job
This is what I've learned about a particular guitar, bottom, middle, and top shelf. You have to play it and learn the particular guitar. Once you get the hang of the guitar. Then it begins to sound pretty good.
Well done. That's useful info, starting on the G7 which puts you (harmonically speaking) in C, which gives us C, F, G7, then throwing in the Bb (6th measure), which comes from the key of F, then in measure 8 you use a G7 and go back to the key of C but start with the F, to C, then to G and add into the progression a D chord I(which fits into the key of G) in the 9th measure, then to the key of F with the Bb (once again added). This has been escaping me when I would see players seemingly playing in and out of key(s). This can look more complicated than it is because you're simply using 3 chord progressions based upon the chords in the 3 chord progression of C. Damn.
Great lesson and tips. I will try that looper exercise. Been following Robben Ford since I first saw him in the 70's and he is always at the top of my list of great guitar players/composers. This is another demonstration of the value of knowing and using triads. Thanks for sharing this!
Just want to thank you for the free lessons like this, those "bite size" lessons are ideal to dig in when you only have half an hour or so and they have completely changed the way I play the blue, you're the man Corey 👏
@@coreycongilioI've had a chance to go through some of you're content and when it comes to the combination of teaching style, you're candor, youre inspired playing, AND being a monster on guitar I don't think there's anyone that can touch you on this platform...and I know most of them. I love GT and Larry but they dont teach like you and non of the other decent teachers ive seen can play anywhere near your level❤...and I never comment on youtube You'll soon have a new customer as well!
I love how your relaxed approach removes any feelings of intimidation from my mind. This is my first time seeing you, but I will be back for more. Thank you!
Thanks for this video, it's a real eye-opener for me: never before did I think about connecting triads and modes that way! Consequently, this opens a whole new world for my comping.
Really excellent stuff! I started adding a tritone substitution to the mix and it got even more color and options so check it out as well. Can't wait to get back to band practice after summer break and try these out with rest of the band!
Great lesson, thanks. I'll be revisiting it for several reasons. But one is to watch your thumb-over technique. I'm not good enough to understand it theoretically on the fly, but I can probably work it out. But since you prefer the four middle strings, my guess is that unless the root is on the 6th string, your thumb is mostly muting. And the video makes it easy to watch your right hand. That said, this lesson would be a great way to teach the thumb-over technique for guys like me that find it confusing. Thanks again.
Great Video "Cote"😂 Is it??? Hey man thanks for turnin me on to some Robben Ford. Listened to some tonight, and can definitely hear alot to be learned from his style. Anyhow, Hope your feelin well and just love that your on RU-vid "Your my go to Blues Guy!!! I really admire your teaching techniques and ease of playing. You have a GREAT sense of timing and shuffle. I have been playing guitar for years and am very much a Blues guitar player. I really need to get away from the straight Penta playing and add more melody and flavors. Definitely need to look into your courses and see what's appropriate for me and where im at in my playing. It's tough learning on RU-vid sometimes. It's like a candy store of soo many things. You learn something, move on and then can't remember what you learned before. And eventually don't remember jack!!!! Im bouncing around all over the place. Need some structure of some sort. Soo much to learn... Soo much technique left hand and picking hand. My picking hand is not as proficient as it should be. I think most people trying to learn focus soo much on fretting hand because you really kinda need to know what direction your going, that you realize your picking and strumming hand sucks and you don't know how to drive that car to take you where you wanna go. If that makes sense. Anyways, I'm rambling but, like I said "Glad your on here man. You've Helped me expand my playing already, but I think I would get more out of a structured course. You know start here. Become proficient and understand what I'm doing and WHY. Then move on to the next Chapter of course. Sorry for the novel. ✌️
How have I missed this guy!?!? After watching this video I've spent 2 days jamming out to Robben Ford. I can hear his influences on Corey's playing. Legend status!
I love this. There is a YT channel called Jazz Duet. Sax player. He has a cool course on triad pairing . It makes for some cool colours when you can integrate it your playing. Thanks for the content ✌️
This is so good… thank you so very much! Is this stuff in one of your courses in more depth? I love this sound, or is the a Robbin Ford course out there in this? Thanks again.
Hi Corey - I loved this lesson and have a question, though it might be more in depth than the youtube comment section allows. If G7 is the 1 in the chord progression, what is the advantage of thinking in terms of C? Why not think in G and reference the triads as a m7, 1, 4, etc...? I think you alluded to this in different people thinking differently. My mind can't think in terms of C while playing in G and keep it all together.
Great question. That’s why I gave two ways to look at it. A Dominant chord is ALWAYS the V of a key music theory wise. Even if it’s a Blues where we call it the I. However, we refer to a 1/4/5 blues progression as such because of the relationship/interval to each other. I’m a fan of learning it how it suits YOU the best. There’s always more than one way to look at something.
Indeed the blues is seen by many as played on one key but this is not exact. 3 dominant chords as explained Corey very well are not diatonic(do not belong to the same major scale because only one dominant per major scale is possible). So basically each dominant chord of a blues is its own thing and the V chord of 3 different major scale. The color indeed is more G7 because it appears 8 times at least in the 12 bars sequence.
@@coreycongilio I had to think about this one most of the night. So the dominant chord will always be the V. When you are playing the triads over the G7, you are really outlining the chord tones of the "home" key. If this is correct, it is one of the biggest breakthroughs I've ever had.
So basically playing 1 4 5 to thicken the blues flavour inside 1 4 5 chord progression? Man, the more you know, the more you don’t know. Gotta listen back to Talk to Your Daughter. Robben is kinda oracle isn’t he? Thank you. As always!!
@@coreycongilio LOL! no no no...I watched the whole thing as I do with all of your stuff. And yes...Robben Ford IS a legend. I hope to someday be able to watch him play live.
