    Corey Congilio was in from Nashville and had a little time to stop by and show us a great concept.
    It's simple: by playing up and down the neck on one string he is able to travel through all the pentatonic boxes without ever getting stuck.
    Corey is a great player and also a very accomplished teacher, with 12 TrueFire courses and three new ones on the way.

    Thanks so much for your support!

    Train stops!!!! Never thought of it that way....amazing simplification! Thank you so much for that.

    @rogerwilliams4742 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    The most beautiful part of this video is when Tim asks, "Am I doing it?" This goes to show that even a master player like Tim is still learning and discovering. That in itself is a great lesson for all of us!

      @wengjai 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pretty sure Tim knows of the concept. He’s trying to show case it to his audience like a beginner

    Tim Pierce @4:10 "Am I doing it?"😂😂😂 Tim Pierce is bad ass lol. Makes it look so easy. I'm gonna be watching this video for three months before I can ask that question 😂😂😂😂

    Probably one of your best videos, imo. Really love the language. Nearly anyone can relate.

    This is probably the most helpful thing I've found about the pentatonic scale on TH-cam. Thanks so much!

  • @andersericson1830
    @andersericson1830 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow! Another great golden nugget in Tim’s huge video archive. There’s so much that I love in this video.. “Am I doing it?”, the analogy of train stops and exploring the neighborhood etc.
    Thank you @Tim for all your great work. Picking up the guitar after 25 years of not playing, I kind of felt lost and overwhelmed by all the information out there but your channel has gotten me on track and most of all Inspired!!!

  • @chrisjelley6899

    @camgreer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ah, Tim. Man, that was great about the train line, stopping off and exploring the neighborhood. This stuff is finally making some sense. I picked up the guitar when you were on that A blues and I started to sound like I knew what I was doing. Brilliant, simple, effective. Thanks Corey and Tim.

    @5:18 brilliance “Pretend I’m on a train going straight down the line and I can stop and explore each station”
    Tim.. you da man!

  • @ericschwartz9982
    @ericschwartz9982 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've tended to play the pentatonic scales on two strings up and down the neck for years. I guess I attribute it to my years of playing a 4 string bass in blues bands. I tended to get bored going horizontal. Corey is an excellent teacher, as is Tim. Very informative and intelligent video lesson. Thank you both.

    Corey, that is a ''GREAT'' idea. I am just getting comfortable with the five pentatonic positions and as Tim said, ''that B string is like a train line'', and that makes sense. Thank you.👍

  • @autocrow
    @autocrow 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good lesson. I used to play lead for a band that played many real slow melodic songs. I started playing G string only on those songs. It worked out much better than the box patterns and people liked it. It was also much easier to play a simple melody, like the vocal melody, which I would often play on the one string. BTW, I was at the recent Guitar Lesson Conference, Anaheim 2018. It was nice to meet you and your presentation was great!

  • @ChrisPetersGuitar
    @ChrisPetersGuitar 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes Tim!! I've been teaching the idea of learning scales up a single string forever (in addition to all of the others of course). I've used nearly the exact same analogy "ride the buss, get off and walk around town" haha!
    This method really helps to visualize the connections between the positions and play more lyrically.
    I've always seen the neck this way, probably due to my piano background, and my attempts to get the positions to connect as fluidly as my clarinet could.

  • @adamwasthefirstman
    @adamwasthefirstman 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Be BB King even! I was lucky enough to get to play with him in high school, and was just floored by how he could play over even jazz standards by keeping one position laterally with various bends to maintain a chord progression, but also play vertically to keep it fresh. Hell, I can barely do ANY of it 20 years later, but it provided me a terrific road map to follow. Great video!

  • @nicholaswoolfenden5254
    @nicholaswoolfenden5254 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yeah!
    So tomorrows gig Im just going with a B string.
    This is profound stuff, and is not as easy as it looks but it is so rewarding if like me there are a few holes in linking boxes.
    Genius!

    My personal rail line on the guitar features the D and G strings. I move up and down the neck using these two strings. Try to get off at one of the stations and explore the pentatonic box in that neighbourhood. Get lost in that neighbourhood, stop, go back to the main line, find a station and start over! :)
