- Hey friends!
In this lesson I'll show you how I use Minor7b5 arpeggios to achieve outside blues licks and tones over Dom7 chords. I'll play an Am7b5 arpeggio over an F7 chord to illustrate my ideas.

I've just recently found your content - this is awesome!
Beautiful playing, Corey!
Cheers
Hermann
Fantastic playing to match that sweet tone.
Nice lesson 👍 And, what a tone...sick. can't beat P90's for me 👌
If you control the language......you control the "argument".
Every teacher must know it.
C.C. has mastered it.
Thank you for your clear and objective explanation.
Thank you for that!
I don't usually commit - but I have to say you truly have a gift for teaching ( and of course playing guitar ) -- I am 66 years old , I have made my living playing music for 50+ years first as a bass player till I was 40- and for the last 26 years doing mainly solo guitar gigs around the South ( last year I giged 245 dates, some band but mostly solo ) - your explanations for how to do/play, and why these work are straight forward and to the point as i said you truly have a gift !!!
Agree 100%. Clear, concise explanations. Funky & cool player too.
I said it below somewhere in the comments a little over a year ago,, and I'll say it again & again,, Corey really nailed it with this lesson. I make sure to watch this particular lesson time and time again. Thanks for helping expand the vocabulary as mentioned. We got the Rocky Balboa of guitar teachers right here folks !
A year ago this was a no go but today I get it and immediately added it in my mix. Stuff is clicking. Thanks for this!
Awesome!
These lessons are some of the best I’ve Ever seen on U-Tube Corey. Thank you. Love to play outside
Wow thank you!
Dang, that is some great playing! Tight, rhythmical, great tone, great phrasing and a lot of feeling. Impressive!
F is a hard key. Kudos to you for doing it and doing it well.
Hey thanks!
This is so fun man. Thank you!!! I was that guy saying, "well those notes fit the chord aka F9", but playing them as an arpeggio sounds way cooler than just viewing them in the context of a mix mode or scale.
Glad you dug it!
You're good.
Yes he is....and so are you, RJ!
Guess that makes you “good” as well RJ? 😂 Monster player commenting on a fellow monster’s TH-cam video...man, TH-cam is wild 🤘🏼 Where was this when I was learning guitar 25 years ago 😩
“I'm just like you...”, yes, but with ten times the talent :) Thanks Corey, killer tips and video.
Tim Stevens
Hahaha
Corey, you're a great teacher
I enjoyed your lesson! I honestly can say that you have an excellent approach to teaching. Thank you!
This really depends on the notes that you highlight,,
As you have the Am7b5 over F7 ..
Which is a Locrian mode ... and the 7th mode of Bb
and that's where F7 is heading ,, being the 5th mode of Bb
so they really all come from Bb.
Bb Ionian
F Mixolydian
A Locrian
all have the same notes .. So it depends more on what you're thinking of, as to what gets highlighted... but you haven't really changed key
Maybe try Eb major over F7
or F Lydian dominant, so you have your major third and flat 7th but a #11 in there
Wow Corey! That sounds so freaking awesome!
Such a tasty player and such an engaging personality. Love these lessons. I’m learning
a lot.
Don’t know if you’ll read this but I honestly think you’ve everything spot on. Amazing player - amazing teaching style - amazing moustache - hope you get more recognition my man!
Great teacher Corey
Thx!!
Your logic makes sense to me. "Expand my fretboard vocabulary". 👌
Cool, Cory - I always dig your lessons!
I like it that you are not trying to teach 5 things at a time. Great virtue and teaching skills! Awsome playing too. Thank you!
always watching your lessons man from philippines thanks for this free lessons
Glad you like them!
This is so flippin' sick!
Great lesson. I find this much easier to visualise and grab as a Cmin with additional A.
I love your teaching and videos! I would just add to this that the core of this is that the notes in Am7b5 are actually just certain notes to emphasize in the F Mixolydian scale (3 5 b7 9). Once I realized that it was very natural to play these arpeggios.
Big thanks Corey is awesome.
Corey, thanks man great inspiration for expanding my sound. just wanna go beyond pentatonic. this helps big time!
Altered 3minor is a great color! Thanks!
That was great. Thank you. Great playing. Great concepts
Damn, Corey...... you are such a gifted individual. I wish I could have 1/1000000000 of your skills
Mighty kind of ya. Thank you.
Great lesson
You've got some killer guitars, and skill to match!
great solo
I like the way you make it possible to get something out of it whatever you're level may be, good teaching !
Appreciate that!
Thanks Corey! Your Truefire courses are great. I'm always looking for ways to sneak the outside notes into my blues playing for a more "uptown" sound. I'd love to hear your take on the BB King / T Bone Walker roots of that style. That's where my journey has started.
My new favorite guitar channel!!! Crushing it bro 🤙🏻
Appreciate that!
Awesome lesson - really interesting concept!
Nice editing too.
A lesson on using arpeggios more musically could be a good one for the not so distant future.
Dream jam buddy. Awesome, thanks
Excellent Corey! Thank you
You take it to whole ‘nother level!
Listen to him folks. This guy knows his stuff!
Thx Vinni! Loving the new picks!
Great licks great tone, Very Robben Ford, perfect.
Ahhhhh some diminished goodness a la Robben Ford. Nice!!
Fantastic, Corey. Thank you.
my pleasure
Wow, Corey! Didnt know you are this great on an electric! THX
Thanks man this was great!
Love to learn more of the outside ideas eric gales and josh smith use ⭐️
lessons like these are so great for opening up new guitar vocabulary, i love it. thanks so much for making these videos!
My pleasure!
Oh my word, m7b5 arpeggios sound amazing over dom7 chords!!!
They can easily be fitted into the dom7 shapes as well
Great to find you on the web again. One more subscriber!
very usesful, thanks Corey!
First time watching you. I love it. I learned something new. Great guitar tone. What are you using as equipment?thank you
Oh man Corey! Great stuff again! Thank you!
Thank You so Much
You have been a huge inspiration for me to start my own channel!!! I literally JUST started, its definitely harder than it looks. We share a love of SRV, I would love if you could talk about SRV's "jazzier " songs....
Very cool! Love to dive into that stuff!
Love your style Corey. I play very similar.
Thx!!
sounds great
Great licks! Great lesson I enjoyed it and will apply it
Awesome! Thank you!
Man, awesome! Subscribed, naturally!
Thx man!
Fantastic video
Thanks! 😃
Love your style of teaching you break complex things down into understandable chunks. I am looking for chord or scale subsitutions to connect chords in a progression. Like how jazzers turn 1.4.5s and to those crazy 2.6.1s but how to use them. Similar to this outside playing lesson. More vocab expansion. Ty u rock dude
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much!
What amp/rig are you using here? That is a great clean tone…. I haven’t found any modelers that can do that…
So I’ll be blown away if you say it’s digital.
Thanks for the lesson
New subs here!!!!
A bit hard to understand and follow as a French guitar player who does not understand all in American and does not know that much about music theory, but AWESOME ! I would like to know which notes to enhance blues scales and sound better IN A SIMPLE AND LOW WAY!!!!! Kind regards from France 🥰
lovely video
Iv been watching your videos for over a year now and have learnt so much from you you are amazing my question is I been using a lot of Pentatonix as a base but to make a long story short I've noticed certain times you can play a Minor pentatonic over a major Chord and some times I stop and figure the how that can happen , so if you haven't done a video on this I'd love to see you make one love your lessons and the way you break it down
So can you play a m7b5 arpeggio off the 3rd of any dominant chord, is that correct?
Yes!
Wow 'wow" corey👍☝👍☝👍
wooow, your new videos are insanely good, great blues playing! On the level of Robben Ford here I'd say
Hi Corey, amazing concept! I'll apreciate if you teach how to throw this arpeggio over a regular blues to more comprehension of it. I love all your lesson, you're and incredible teacher. I've learn a lot of things with yor videos. I'll apreciate if one day yo teach something that mix more outside arpeggios with regular triads for example. Thanks for teaching us
Pattern 4 is my favourite minor 7 flat 5 arpeggio shape and it's working a goddam treat.
I love the smell of minor 7 flat 5 arpeggios in the morning.
Awesome lesson...thanx..
My pleasure!
this is a good tip - I first got it from Don Mock
Love Don’s teaching.
I dig it.
Great!
Love your lessons Corey. I'm just trying to understand the theory as to why you would go to the Am position. Is it the 3rd mode. I found it easier to get these notes mixing major and minor using the F on the 8th fret 5th string. I don't tend to focus on arpeggios to much so maybe that's where I'm going wrong. Cheers
Corey please, which arpeggio di you use at minute 1:19? I love that lick
Great stuff! Thank you.
My pleasure!
Digging your channel man. Nice lessons 🤟🏼🎸
Thx so much. More to come!
That is a really great lesson, great phrasing and licks! Now... Where do I find that lovely backing track on its own? :D Thanks!!
Corey is a great instructor but I think would have helpful to say that the A minor 7th b5 is the locrian mode of the parent scale of Bb major which the F7 belongs to mixolydian of Bb major
Hey Corey when are you gonna teach us how to play some of those crazy licks/runs you're playing?
I just realized you have a whole course aha. Are those sort of fast lines taught in it?
The coures, Hip Blues has those ideas. I touch on a few in Complete Blues V2 but, I don't go as outside as this video suggests.
@@coreycongilio So what course would you recommend? I'm probably closer to the advance side between intermediate and advanced. Like I know the positions of the main arpeggios (Maj7, Dom, Min7, m7b5) and I can switch between them over songs but I still can't put phrases together like you were doing at the start of this video.
@@jonbentley8088 I have a coures on TrueFire.com called Hip Blues Outside Lines and my new course Complete Blues Volume 2 will touch on diminished, major/minor/dom7 arpeggios a bit too. Feel free to email me with any other questions. corey@coreycongilio.com
Thx!
Cool..👍❤
Hi Corey. I'd love you to teach on some of the weird and wonderful modal licks used by Dickey Betts and Duane Allman on the "Live At The Fillmore East" album.
@@coreycongilio I don't mind how you approach it bro. Just show me how! Love your album on Spotify.
Hi Corey. If this were in E it would be G#m7b5 then right? So that's G# B D F# right?
Thank-you /Brasil
Great stuff again. Thanks. I would really love to learn the right hand tech.
sounds awesome
Thanks so much! I'll be doing more hybrid picking stuff soon!
Amazing, as always, thanks! Edit: I'd love to be as fluid, maybe a lesson or excercises for fluidity?
Really cool arpeggio shape, I love it! Thanks!
Do you have a direct link for those thinking outside the box blues arpeggios?
Hey thx! I just have the arpeggio that goes with this lesson. You can find it on my website under the Store menu. You’ll see a drop down for Free Tabs and Tracks. Help yourself!
Can I use A locrian to get same idea? don’t really use arpeggios much
I'm a new subscriber and these lessons are great. I've been stuck in a rut for years, so thanks. I found I could add the Bflat and D to the arpeggio - so from the 6th string, 5th fret I have, 1-2-4,1-2-4,1-3-4,1-3-4,2-4,1-2-4. Is this A Locrian? Cheers!
Thanks for subbing, Bill! I'd have to dig a little deeper on that for ya.
Lesson starts at 5:39
underrated comment
Thanks for the musical Excellence, very attractive !!
My pleasure
hello.. I like this very much.... I dont get which way to contact for backing track..:)
@@coreycongilio done..I mean ..sent..:)
Grazie...
Crazy awesome lines!! Are you hybrid picking on some of those? Thanks for the great lesson. I’ve got some new cool things to work on!! For the minor dominant 7 flat 5, is it always the chord rooted a maj 3rd above the chord your soloing over?
I am hybrid picking often. The formula is m7b5 up a 3rd.
@@coreycongilio thanks!! At least I can understand what you’re doing now to be able to replicate it!
@@coreycongilio I’m gonna have to rewatch this vid at half speed or lower and see if I can see how your implementing the hybrid picking. I can do it but not at that level! I’m gonna be sharing your vids! These are the best lessons on the tube!!
Hi Corey . I’m still struggling with the 2 - 5 - 1, Concept .. any chance of doing a vid to help ?? Cheers
I will eventually!
Paul. 2 - 5 - 1 is just a chord progression pattern, mostly common in Jazz ~ if you Google search "C Major scale" and look images. . . . . here you will see C(I) - Dm(ii) - Em (iii) - F(IV) - G(V) - Am(vi) - Bdim(VII) . . . . .. the 2 is Dm(ii) - the 5 is G(V) and 1 is C(I) . . . . this concept can spread to different keys if you know the degrees of the scale in given key !
hey there!! I got many tips from u!! tnxs so much! I'm gonna contact u about the arpejos ok? Regards from Brazil ✌️👏👍☕🎸
How do you know which m7b5 chord to play relative to the key you are in? Is it the 5th of the key?
