Dude, you are so generous. I’m retired and learning guitar and you’ve been very helpful. Thanks!

[@coreycongilio]

my pleasure!

[@adamkrauss303]

Always love your playing and tone, but so glad to hear you preach not to be afraid to repeat the same riff over and over, as many demo players will keep switching riffs/leads/chords while sweeping the pedals knobs.

[@andydinesguitar]

Oh this is golden - absolutely the sound of the Reverend Gibbons!👌🤘

[@MB-en3do]

You make lead playing so concise and logical. I can watch your vids and understand exactly what you're doing. Like removing a veil. Thank you!

[@coreycongilio]

My pleasure! Thx for watching!

[@hearpalhere]

Billy Gibbons is the man! One of my all time favorites and inspirations. Awesome to see you tearing it up Corey!

[@johmica]

Great lesson as always, Cory. At this point, your archive of free lessons is bordering on philanthropy! 🤣 I always look forward to sitting down for half an hour or so and working through the new content.

[@coreycongilio]

appreciate that!

[@Hhenriette]

👍 agree @MicahJohnson.

[@braxal6983]

And there he goes!!! Awesome Corey!!!

[@imannonymous7707]

When i listen to billy , its like taking a walk thru his influences jimmy reed, john lee , muddy , jimi , magic sam. . My favorte zztop stuff are his boogie drenched riffs and pinch harmonics played and placed perfectly . A master of dynamics and tone and phrasing

[@VonBluesman]

Corey that Les Paul has a special blessing and spirit about it. Unless you ever find and can afford that extra special original 59 maybe 60 model, I think you have a lifetime keeper.

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks! This is probably as close as I'll get to a 59!

[@joelstickneymusic7618]

I agree with that!!! Every time I hear him play this guitar I think wow, that is the best sounding Les Paul I’ve heard

Billy is one of my favorites, the groove doesn't get much better. Thanks Corey!!

[@tigertelecom1]

Really good lesson....great way to start out the weekend!

Really appreciate that and for you being a VIP. There's so much more to come!

[@johnhotz1400]

Oh yeah.I gotta get one of them.Thanks!

[@urago69]

Man, you really tore it up on that opening Billy G. inspired solo! Those riffs were galloping across the fretboard headed for the finish line. Great playing Corey and terrific lesson.

[@coreycongilio]

thx!

[@stratman9449]

Anything Billy...and i'm here......:-) i know we've heard it before...but it's soooo good..... and also, i find Billy's style reasonably well to play myself.....

[@scottscott7586]

Hi C just found you on Yt from the M Bloomfield lesson. You are an amazing player and teacher. SUBSCRIBED Thank You!!!

[@coreycongilio]

Thx so much!

[@mcmillanalex]

Alright alright alright!

[@tmitz73]

Great lesson too, whatever your playing ability!!

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Funky Kings is one of Billy’s best funky rock compositions. Loved that you got to it. I always thought it would have been perfect if the outro was 10 minutes longer. Lol Thanks for the upload. Enjoying the channel.

[@coreycongilio]

thx, my pleasure!

[@lynnhathaway1247]

Another one to add to my watch later collection in hopes I’ll have time to explore and practice! Thanks for another great lesson!

[@coreycongilio]

You got it!

[@arottie4097]

Thank you Mr Congilio! This one was packed full of goodies!!!

[@coreycongilio]

my pleasure!

[@jimclegg5659]

Another good lesson. Nice surprise on a Friday morning! Thanks Corey!!

[@coreycongilio]

You bet!

[@Wermode]

Another killer dual-purpose vid, Corey. J Rockett pedals have great build quality and tone mojo. The Archer Ikon hasn’t left my board since I bought it, almost always switched on.

[@coreycongilio]

Thx, Stosh! I uploaded this with the track and TAB to WCG VIP too!

[@JerseyMiller]

I love the Archer too. I was watching this video wondering how the two would sound together.

[@gerolamovi408]

Very interesting lesson. Would be nice a course on rhythmic phrases/patterns for soloing :)

[@coreycongilio]

Great suggestion!

[@marksvideochannel3592]

Thanks Corey, I think you might have helped me realise why I can play the La Grange 1st solo but not the 2nd....the change of timing you mention seems like it might be the key I've missed. Looking forward to sitting down with my guitar and attempting this.

[@coreycongilio]

Go for it!

[@johnmirabile3535]

The cleanest player alive....Great pocket....Everything always is so tight when you play.....You could be playing something dirty like this? and its so clear.....

[@coreycongilio]

Hey! I appreciate that

[@uelisgold]

Oh boy,,,you really dropped alot of nuggets for me on this lesson, thank you Corey!

[@coreycongilio]

Very welcome

[@ronkresch9228]

Justv another awesome lesson from Corey..thanks dude!

[@LP-qi8hs]

Cool lesson on both, tone and soloing. Thanks.

[@coreycongilio]

My pleasure!

[@peterhughes8699]

Yeah good sounding pedal for the "El Hombre" tone Corey. Sounds like the crunch channel on a Mesa Mark V with the gain set low :)

[@arottie4097]

Yes it does! It really does!!

[@coreycongilio]

Right on!

[@satchrules101]

I think it sounded great when u played fast over that progression.. mixing the 8th notes with the 16th notes would be great to! Great lesson Corey!

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Les Paul was BARKIN boy! Nice playing dude

[@coreycongilio]

haha thx!

[@chrisdbluesguitar3032]

fantastic tone touch & killer pocket Corey !!!! the pocket the Rev has that unique rythmic thang he has you deal out real nice too !! 👌I do like the Rockett El Hombre pedal 👍👍👍

[@coreycongilio]

thx so much!

Great lesson man - Cool run up to the change 🎸

J. Rockett makes good dirt pedals!!

[@mikerathgeber8057]

Amazing!

[@blues62751]

Great playing ! 👍🎸

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks, Stu!

[@jonathanavery7583]

Corey, this is a cool pedal and great lesson on the great Billy Gibbons! I have just noticed in your playing how you often play very comfortably behind the beat. Sounds very chill and funky. How did you develop this in your playing? Love your vids dude!

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks! That's a tough question. I try to listen to the kick and snare and fall in between them. That's the short answer I guess!

[@TheJuggernautv2]

Oooooh, that’s nasty!

[@TheVatonaught]

I can hear Texas !

[@coreycongilio]

Check out the El Hombre here! imp.i114863.net/rockettelhombre

[@539sharp]

Sounds good. When you play live do you crank your amp(s) and turn the volume on the pedals down, or do you run your amp at a lower volume and crank the od volume more?

[@coreycongilio]

I try to get the best/biggest base tone from the amp first. Then have pedals match volume or just slightly louder than the amp.

[@539sharp]

@@coreycongilio thanks

[@paulcowart3174]

The Bloomfield drive is one of the best amps out there Clean channel or drive channel? It's got a honking drive channel 6L6's ?? Thanks sounds great

[@coreycongilio]

yes, 6l6

[@MrPeter924]

👍🔥🔥great song rock

[@PlayTheBlues1963]

Cool pedal!! Great lesson Corey🌶🌶cool strap too, brand please?

[@coreycongilio]

Not sure on the strap unfortunately

[@michaelsingley5641]

Some Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings 🎸

[@ronpetersen2815]

Corey, I know you talked about "driving" the Two Rock and this pedal was too much for the Blues Jr., which as you know, is what I have. but do you consider this J. Rockett El Hombre, strictly speaking, an overdrive? Or is it a distortion pedal?

[@coreycongilio]

I’d consider it an overdrive

[@iloveitall]

So Billy does nee such a pedal? Or did he do everything without, hm?

[@TheBhannah]

Can’t go wrong with some reverend G !

[@gergemall]

Oh yeah

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

wow you can do a lot with whole count 1234 then do a rip then 1234 rip I think I learned something tonight .

What kind of Gibson is that you playing?

[@coreycongilio]

Murphy Lab 59 LP

[@jameselliano1203]

like eliminator pedal more.

[@r.llynch4124]

billy uses a fuzz set mildly

[@damonkatos4271]

Great playing but it doesn’t have the meat of those early albums
