It’s all been said already, but just a great and super helpful lesson, thanks so much!
Have bought your beginner and intermediate courses from udemy.com.....Love them!!
Thank you ! Great lesson big fan of your work from Truefire !
For some reason the download does not work for me - any idea why? I can put my E-Mail there and then nothing happens :-(
@@dnluc9 Thx so much!
Another excellent lesson from one of the most passionate and dedicated teachers out there. Your explanations and style is so informative, usable and easy to follow. Please, please keep them coming. Thank you, Corey.
Appreciate that!
Something rock blues (ever to play in a music store to impress people there)?
Corey is one of my favorite teachers on TF. One of the few that is able to pierce my hard head and let me play the blues. Grande Corey, thanks so much🖖🏻🎸
Thx Walter!
Corey you are a.
🎸Rockstar 🎸
I love your Passion
God bless you
Love Peace Joy
You know this morning I woke up
And was trying to decide if I should quit. But I watched your video, and well thank you . This got me out of a rut I’ve been in. I’ve been really working on the 12 bar blues , different shuffles and such . but I felt like I was playing the same old thing every time. This definitely opened a door for me much appreciated.
Yes, that’s the stuff most people here have been waiting for. In the hole TH-cam World there‘s nothing that is more useful and immediatly appliable! Outstanding. Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
That ax just screams "play me!" What a beauty.
Absolutely love it, Mr Congilio, thank you for giving all this to us, you are like Santa in April!
Haha anytime!
Thank you, Corey. This is a great lesson and something I’ve been waiting for. I hope you do more in the future. Happy Easter 🐰
Same to you!
Absolutely awesome awesome lesson !!! Thank you very much !!!
I love these kind of blues by yourself lessons Corey, they teach you a lot of ways of getting better on the guitar. !!!
I confess that when I heard the word "metronome" I considered changing to another TH-cam channel 😉
I’m late to the game and Love the lesson. Sounds awesome.Thanks for sharing.
That electric solo wwill become a music store classic.
This is an indispensable lesson by Corey. Practicing with a backing track is fine, but what do you do if you're playing a solo gig, or just performing for your friends and there are no other musicians around? Learning to play by yourself is an essential skill.
Thx for that, Richard!
Very very very usefull. Thank you very much from Italy.
Thx so much! Glad you enjoyed
Too funny…when you said metronome I was like finally, someone who speaks my language
REAl awesome! session! Thank you Corey! loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really like the idea of using the metronome on half speed for beats 2 & 4.
Corey has a new course on Udemy on this subject and it is great.
Excellent Corey! I did dig it and will work it hard 😎
You have my thumb up as always Corey, thank you for share your knowledges
I appreciate that!
Oh My God! This video deserves way more likes, subs and views! Congilio, this is my first time playing so successfully on my acoustic! Best riff ever! :) Good day! Hope you upload more!
🙏🏻lots more on my channel!
This rhythm and blues lesson is awesome, thanks Corey.
My pleasure!
One of the best online teachers ever!!!!!!
Wow thx for that
Thanks so much for this great lesson. Top notch instruction and tab. I love this style of playing.
Glad you like it!
Thanks for sharing this lesson 🙏. Love your clear teaching style. Bought a couple of your TrueFire courses but this is exactly what I’ve been looking for to learn blues guitar. Just joined your Working Class Guitar site as a VIP. Excellent site!!! 👍
Wow thx so much! Hope to see you in a live Zoom session!
Really enjoyed this lesson, Corey! I’ve always tried to play the solo blues, but couldn’t handle the speed. Your lesson here helped with structure and I focused on going slow and it helped so much! Really enjoying what you are putting out lately! Thank you!
Great to hear!
Hi Corey, I signed up for your Pentatonic Lessons and paid. Tried logging into account and it wouldn't take password. Requested reset of password and never received email or link. I will be cancelling payment. David
Hey David, sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Just email our support and we’ll get ya set up. Support@workingclassguitar.com. Happy to help!
Corey,
I am a saxophonist who follows you. I don’t read tabs. Any chance in your videos you would write out your music so us non-guitarists can follow? Thank you. You rock!
Hey Chip. All tabs are in standard notation too so, jump in!
Great video thanks. What metronome program or app are you using? I've tried a few different ones so far but can't get into the shrill sharp sound of the clicks. This one sounds easy on the earns. Thanks again cheers!
Hmm, I got it from the App Store. Most should allow you to change the tone of the click,.
Yeah Cory keeping it fun and simple with soulful groove thanks yeah your epiphone 61 is the best
Hey thx!!
Great lesson! The filming and audio is brilliant. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
This is awesome. I set metronome to 50 bpm and play this, then switch to your minor blues in A
Love it
Thanks Corey! These lessons are really helpful. They build from each other in a way that reinforce what was previously taught and at a digestible level and pace. Keep them coming!
Very welcome!
You have blessed us with your time, this is an awesome lesson 💃🎶💃🎶🇦🇺
My pleasure!!
Powerful mustache
I just played this in a guitar store and later walked out with a Les Paul. Is a commission for Corey in order here? Thanks for the excellent lesson!
My pleasure!
Enjoy the LP!
Now this looks like fun!! Thanks Corey!!
It is!
Pure gold - thanks so much! Once you get perfectly in swing with the metronome on 2 & 4 it's as if some invisible hand just pulls you along. Amazing!
Some of John Mayer's long Instagram vids (on YT) he stabs those chords and does some wicked riffing in between. He's on fire when he gets going playing blues by himself. Very inspiring!
BY FAR my FAVORITE lesson, man Corey you are a Guitar Prophet 🙏 🙏
Thanks again I am learning lots I will buy some courses
Wow, thanks!
🎼🎸No doubt about it; We have to count on Corey's musical patiente & new fresh ideas, the future is now !
Thanks again.
Great Lesson...Thanks...
Thanks, gracias 😊👍👌
Just discovered this channel! Amazing! You make it all look so easy, Corey!
Totally worth the ride for the 5th fret G7 voicing alone! Super important concept, weather you’re playing alone or carrying a jam. Not losing the groove makes all your improvising stronger as well.
I am constantly coming up with Blues hooks that I should be working out, and playing through in this kind of way...with a metronome! Whenever I noodle too far away from the groove, I get lost in the sauce, and forget what chord I’m playing over?
Side bar: There’s no jamming with friends right now. I’m often alone with the Blues 🙃 This is way better than a backing track.
Another great lesson here, buddy...........this one has it all.........scales and chords and riffs and soloing ideas but most importantly presented in a timing and usage idea with a metronome all delivered in a down home friendly laid back session! Plus..........you've even added in acoustic guitar with electric for good ole Nashville style!! Jim C.
I didn't realize that it's the most important guitar lesson ever! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Corey!
Metronome allows you to soar.separates those who really play from those who play.You can get speed never thought
This is the best blues course of i have ever learned ! support
Corey Congilio!!
Thanks Corey, as always. I am a sucker for theory... maybe a future lesson on the a breakdown of why minor pent works again 4 chord and major parallel pent on the 1 and 5 chord? Feel like applying the actual theory will help carry across other keys when thinking about the intervallic relationships. Thanks again for all the killer material
Спасибо, дружище. Это очень крутой урок для бесплатного просмотра!!!
Nice lesson excellent way of explaining it ,thanks
Very well explained
Very cool bro, i follow from another channel, and just watching you playing help me a lot.
I got a good sound with your videos.
Wow thanks!
Electric guitar is very expressive guitar, and i'm trying to learn nowadays but i think that to show and teach more about acoustic folk guitar is also mandatory.
Great fun to learn this kind of licks because IS the center of the roots🙏🤘 Thanks Sir Corey.
Dig it....thanks!
Great video
One thing that came to mind when you said “rhythm” was that people could/should tap their foot in a audible rhythm when playing the blues by themselves. They should also learn how to do it in a way that is yes, audible, but not obtrusive and annoying.
Killer Lesson!!! What kind/Gauge strings do you like to use?
Thx! D'Addario 10's mostly. I also use their Chromes.
@@coreycongilio Nice, my American Pro 2 Tele came with 9's The 52 Reissue Blonde came with 10's, which I've strung all my electric guitars with, 10's, the 9's feel a bit too light, although yes, easier to bend.. Anyway! Keep up the good work! You do an awesome job with your Lessons.. I learn tons from you with every episode.. I just bought a simple book on Triads too.. Has been super helpful as well.. Happy 20122 to you Corey!!!! Keep on ROCKIN" Bro! : )
Thank's Corey you are a great help on my guitar journey. Stay safe.
Thanks Corey! Awesome class!!
Glad you liked it!
that was cool
I alway dig on the little riffs.
I think they real make the lessons.for me.cheers.happy Easter.👍🍻
Thanks, you too!
Great lesson Corey. I’ve never really concentrated on a Blues in G. Now I have a reason.
Great video. I've been doing a lot of this type of playing recently. Feel there is a market for a dedicated course on "playing on your own" i.e. some interesting/impressive things to play when your just handed a guitar. Watched at 1.5x speed
Great suggestion!
Great lesson! I love your Epiphone Casino. Unfortunately back in the 1970's I had an original Casino made in Kalamazoo that I sold to get an acoustic guitar since I was moving out and far away from my parent's home and I didn't want to lug an amp around the USA. Plus back then I didn't think the Casino was a "cool" electric guitar, and wanted to play music by Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, etc. I wish I still had that Casino, it was a beautiful guitar. Decades later I've replaced it with an Epiphone ES-339. Thanks again for the lesson. My granddaughter and I have been doing your Udemy Beginner and Intermediate Blues Rhythm Guitar Lessons.
Hey Tom, thanks for the story and support via the courses! I hope you enjoy!
Loved this video...hoping this question is not stupid...but are we putting the metronome on 50 and selecting only to hear beats 2 and 4 OR are we setting the metronome on 100 and setting the metronome only to play beats 2 and 4. I LOVED this video it was incredibly helpful and answered some big questions for me...the blues appear to be so simple but there is actually a lot going on...you dissected it perfectly. Thank you.
Either way is fine as it mathematically is the same thing. However, I prefer just putting it on 50 as opposed to reprogramming the metronome
Magnifica lección! Qué buen gusto tienes tocando la guitarra!👏👏👏
Sweet! (13:15 start of the lesson) 17:11 2nd chorus
Great lesson, Corey! And nice guitar.
Mate, fun lesson! Great stuff. That metronome counting thing opened a whole new universe for me. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am a Huge fan of this.. Just enjoy this to the bitter end... Can't go wrong watching TV and just doing this over and over
That’s awesome! Big fan of playing while watching the tube. Build that muscle memory
This is perfect. I’m a father and I don’t have time to play in a band. So I want to be able to pull out my iPad and my new Fender Mustang Micro amp and record a little jam or song. Im a new subscriber and can’t wait to binge on your channel. Thank You.
Thx for being here!
I've been digging the last few lessons.
You know its stuff an intermediate player like me can start to learn and play almost that night of watching and practicing.
Lots of videos say " Easy this" or that.
But what it gets down to for me is it easy to understand and practicing along.
This is.
Thks . C
Glad to help!
Helps a lot. Thanks Corey.
You bet!
Hey Corey, great choice in what you're offering today. It's always nice to be able to grab an acoustic and play some blues! Good for your fingertips, as well. Really liked that you broke down the double-stops.. so many teachers just blow by that. And including the tip on using the metronome helps as well. Appreciate the upgrades to your delivery! Have a Great Day!
Hey, thanks!
Hey Corey I'm so glad I found your channel. You are really opening my mind to new ideas. The way you break things down and explain clearly makes complex sounding stuff make sense. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad to hear and I appreciate the follow!
So glad Brett Papa brought me here. You guys really compliment each other in your teaching styles.
It's so great that there's great teachers for every level. A lot of teachers try to teach intermediate stuff but at the same time, spell out note for note basic things, thereby dragging out a lesson unnecessarily. Thanks for not doing that. Like you said, it's in the tab. It's the Gm pentatonic. Figure it out, a bit of ear training thrown in for nothing.
Thanks for helping us get through lockdown!
Great to hear. Thanks so much for the support!
Great lesson as usual! 👍🏼 I personally am not a fan of the live stream mainly because it often gets bogged down in housekeeping type stuff. My vote is always for a 15-30 minute video. One guy’s opinion. Thank you for all you do Corey!
Thanks for that!
Corey all your videos are very useful, very appreciate it all your efforts to make people get great guitar lesson from you
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you very much...
My pleasure!
perfect lesson, my English is not the best, I use a translator, but it doesn't matter at all, I understand everything musically, very inspiring and helping to create new ideas in music, thank you !!!
Thank you!
Incredible usefeul lesson for free again, thank you so much Corey! I watch a lot of videos in YT but I learn from few of them. Yours are the most didactic. I hope that soon I will be able to purchase one of your courses. Big hug Rick
My pleasure!
Thank you so much my friend Mr Corey, I always learn a lot with your videos and steady rhythm is the most important stuff for me and I am sure for many of folks out there. Be well Corey & all! You are an awesome teacher. Loved your pickup notes explanation and the use of beats 2 & 4 in the metronome, I wonder when you say we will take advantage of this in the future where are you trying to take us.
(btw: when you play sounds so good and seems so easy hahhahahaha!)
You are very welcome!
Love it but don’t know how to download tab
Hey Dan, I just updated the download link. The TAB is free, all you have to do is enroll in my TH-cam collection at my website. You can also get lots of other free tabs and tracks there too. working-class-guitar.teachable.com/courses/best-of-corey-s-youtube/lectures/45540860
another great video, will be picking up all your courses as I can afford them, your teaching style really clicks with me. Keep up the great work!
Wow, thanks! Keep an eye out or sale prices too!
This is a real 'inside 4 strings' piece. Thanks for sharing. The tabs are very helpful in terms of getting my head around the voicings and grips too - thanks for offering them FOC Corey. Top man.
Glad it was helpful!
This is terrific stuff, Corey. For those not familiar with Corey's style of blues comping, this is the style most often played in pick up jams or open mics, or just playing with other players on the back porch. Corey's style of teaching provides great depth of concepts and ideas, along with specific tunes.
Thx so much!
well we all want to see you keep doing it! Big fan
Love that Martin I'm gonna take a guess it's 00 17 ? But it's the lesson that's important here.....thanks corey Lord knows I can use work on my time lol happy holidays bro
It's actually a 00015-sm! 17's from the old days are super cool though!
Great one! Simple and really useful. This is the sort of thing that you want to grab and use. Thanks for the lesson and tab!
My pleasure!
Corey, thanks for doing this better and better 👍
It's always a great please to learn with you 👌👌👌
Glad you enjoy it!
Great lesson!! Need more like these!!!
More to come!
Great lesson. I appreciate lessons like this, because I can simplify as needed, while still keeping the rhythm going.
Glad you liked it!
Very nicely done! Great explanations and pace, and having the tab, rather than scratching out my own transcription, is magical.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for another great video lesson. Exactly what I needed!
Glad to hear it!
This is what I am focused on - learning how to play by myself. I want to jam by myself while sounding like a one man band.
More to come!
Loving that vintage Epiphone.
