@@coreycongilio Hey, it is! Thanks. Great stuff, by the way, really enjoy your videos.

[@GM-mv1ch]

I am starting to think that this is the best free instructional channel on YT at the moment

[@coreycongilio]

Wow, that is fantastic. Thanks so much!

[@judwatkins9478]

It's amazing to me how you continue to grow even beyond the Ultra Pro-Level. I've watched your videos for years and find you just get better and better. You are a role model we'd all do well to emulate!

[@thrutheveil74]

You are definitely one of the best teachers/ players out there. Tone, feel, phrasing? Check.

[@coreycongilio]

Really appreciate that

[@garyoden5268]

Corey you truly have a gift for teaching! As an old guy who has been playing in bands for years as a little above average player, you always teach me little things to add to my repertoire. You slow down and take the time to show me things I should have learned years ago! Great job. You really swing!

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that!

[@robinanderson1115]

I'VE REALLY ENJOYED ALL OF UR LESSONS ,ONE OF THE MODERN DAY GUITAR TEACHERS.

[@coreycongilio]

Good to hear! Thanks!

[@fgear8670]

These are definitely the type of lessons that are fun to just sit around and jam --love it! Thanks Cory

[@advdan]

Oh man, you kill it every time. Watching your solo makes me wish I was born in the 60’s. What a magical time for music

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks!

[@Sttonkeoj]

Man there’s a ton of guitar lessons on KZbin but this guy had to be one of the best in terms of teaching

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that

[@alward5678]

Everything you teach can be put to use NOW. A Working mans lessons. Thanks man.

[@coreycongilio]

That’s the plan!!

[@thebasementguitarist]

Thanks Corey. This is the lesson I've been looking for. Can't wait to explore the possibilities.

[@lancelotlink6545]

Dang Corey I just love the laid back timing of your playing. It all swings so dang good! I listen and follow all the big names in online guitar- all the usual suspects- but yours is my favorite. Keep doing what you do!

[@eddiesaenz9291]

THANKS Corey this lesson this caught my eye/ear right away!!and I suffer from A.D.D. Great Job C.C.👍👍👍

[@jeffreykahn5451]

Can't tell enough how I enjoy your lessons. They are fun and exciting and extremely informative. I particularly like this lesson for its somewhat different slant on 12 bar format. Thank you so much Corey. Please continue to inspire us.

[@JT-hw7gz]

Another amazing lesson. This kind of stuff is invaluable when playing alone (call / response) hours of endless fun and practice at the same time. Thank you, Cory.

[@coreycongilio]

Glad you enjoyed

[@cliffordnelson4077]

Corey is one with the guitar, perfect!!!!

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that!

[@ttexas1963]

I laugh when shredders say blues is easy. When you see the bag of tricks this guy has, you clearly see how deep it can go. Playing these ideas with tone and feel within the timing is what the speed guys miss, and lose their soul and lyricism in the process.

[@suriakumarsupra7091]

Yes, you are right.

[@cblf]

Todd, I indeed second your articulate thoughts. I will take Corey's tasteful and soulful expressions every time over shred (though he can do that too). When I tune into one of Corey's generous lessons, he always expands my approach and thinking about the instrument and leaves me awestruck at his many accomplished styles (of which his masterful take on the blues is but one). Corey's playing is the answer to the question: "How badly do you want this?". It is abundantly evident that this young man has put in the work. I may be a long way from executing his teaching, but his inspiration never misses a beat.

[@saxonsteve]

I use to be a shredder and now I am a beginner blues player and it is way more difficult to learn. Practice, Practice and more Practice!!!

[@davidneath8194]

Exhaust all my possibilities! That’s poetry! 😀👍 Yet again a great lesson!

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks again!

[@redfox8626]

great useable information that makes you immediately play and sound better. Thanks Corey

[@coreycongilio]

Glad you like it

[@Scratch_Monsters_Golf]

Always such great lessons, brother! Everything I’ve ever seen you teach is practical stuff that you will actually USE on stage. A lot of what you cover I have been using for years and it works incredibly well for improvising live over chord progressions that guitarists actually encounter on gigs. Usually, though, there is little twist you throw in that I never thought of, even though I use the overall concept. The rest of the stuff you teach that I don’t know, I steal immediately 😈 Your material and teaching style is perfect for the intermediate to advanced player and you treat it as such. In other words, you don’t waste time explaining how to play individual chords, or get bogged down in ideas that accomplished players already know. There are plenty of lessons I’ve seen you do for beginners and I’m sure in those you do explain all the basics, but what I appreciate most is that you seem to know your target audience for each individual lesson, depending on how advanced the concept is, and you teach accordingly. Incredibly cool ideas, practical ideas that players can actually use on the bandstand, and you always keep my attention because you only focus on the important parts of each concept, line, or idea. All that adds up, in my opinion (as little as that’s worth 😂), to you being one of the best players and teachers on KZbin, if not my favorite. You deserve FAR more subscribers, brother, and I wish you the best of luck getting them. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your content that you readily offer all of us FREE OF CHARGE! It is appreciated 🤘

[@Hhenriette]

playing is so awesome groovy. great lesson. really helpful. Thanks for the TAB too.

[@TheJuggernautv2]

That was incredibly helpful. Thanks Cory!

[@lucasnon5784]

Corey is the man. I just watched a video of robben ford talking about the same thing bringing that high note up to add drama. Love when I hear the same thing from different teachers to get the idea concrete in my head

[@coreycongilio]

Oh nice! Thx for watching

[@willynilly4651]

You rock man. Don’t stop. Your site is at the bend of exponential growth. Great material.

[@coreycongilio]

Thx so much! Staying the course!

[@benbarckholtz8730]

I decided today to be more intentional with my scales and chords. I wanted to learn more four note chords (and found this video). I couldn't make out that third G7 shape shape (as the other two were CAGED shapes). But when I applied your Dominant 7 course knowledge to it, I can directly see it coming out of that third scale shape. Well it's just one of those mornings where things are clicking.

[@stevelankford7087]

Thanks so much for the lesson. This kinda stuff just stumps me if someone says hey play me some blues in A off the cuff. I know it’s experience, maybe, but I don’t have forty years to figure it out. I’m already 65 and I try to cram as much as I can every day and still work enough to pay the bills. I work off of two sites with thousands of lessons and songs at my disposal but if I’m not sitting in front of the computer and someone says hey show us what you can do I’d be like “huh”!. I know this may sound funny but its no joke. I want to learn how to just pick it up and go, no computer no drum machine no metronome just me. There’s my rant, back to computer I guess. P S it’s not that Bad maybe 🤔😬 thanks Corey your lessons are 👍

[@coreycongilio]

Thx for the support!

[@jeanenviedapprendre]

The concept is using inversions to climb the fretboard. G7 has 4 notes, giving us a root position and 3 inversions (4 different chord tones for "bass" notes). It's a great strategy that you can apply to other types of chords in other styles.

[@adamfreeman6794]

Sounds killer. Your style is great.

[@edwardmclaughlin7935]

Well Corey, I've only recently stumbled on your channel and I have to tell you, your are getting it very right. I would pitch myself at the low intermediate stage and I'm frustrated just trotting down the same paths. Been this way a few years. I've learned more in a week than all that time, so thanks greatly. Your secret - which shouldn't be so - is that you bring things down from above my level, to the simple, staged and demonstrated figures I can understand. So many others do great stuff but explain it in off-putting terms. I'm not lazy or resistant to new ideas but too much detail just goes over my head. So I'll stop there because I'm starting to waffle but, thought it might help you know you're doing great stuff here.

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate this.

[@markleach4]

Corey, thank you for sharing your brilliant music idea! I really dig it.

[@cathalwhelehan]

fantastic lesson - I really love these simple ideas you show for making solos and finding tones on the neck. The real value of them is that they embed a really good chunk of theory in your brain by tricking you into thinking that you're not actually thinking about theory; you're just having fun. Oh yeah, and that is one really sweet looking Casino, too. I'm in love.

[@samstamos427]

Great exercise to improve muscle memory going up the neck; the unfamiliar G7/B shape is the toughest to land quickly for me.

[@ataraxia4526]

Toughest for me as well. But it is the same chord shape as Dim chord, just different strings. So it is worth to learn that shape.

[@larrywrobinson1503]

You are an excellent teacher ! Thanks
