Corey Congilio Schools Me In Using Arpeggios Over A Blues Progression - Tasty Melodic Soloing Tips

[@8MinuteAxe]

Only 29k people watched this video. Many people missing out on the best lesson yet on how to make 12 bar blues solos sound more interesting. Great chromatic ideas, great phrasing ideas, and players who use the dom 7th arpeggios in their blues solos always sound the best. Thanks for another great video. FYI, I've been a TrueFire all access subscriber for about a year and Corey's lessons are all top notch.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@yoyeo1900]

I'm late to the show but it never gets old. Corey can lay down a phrase with the best of them. His instruction method is top shelf too. Thanks for this.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep Corey is awesome!

[@lonniusmaximus3836]

Been playing for almost 30 years (can't believe I just wrote that!!!). For me this is like when Dorothy goes to Oz and now everything is in color. Now I just actually have to sit down and practice. Thanks, again, Papa and Corey!

8.38 Amazing how Papa picks it up instantly and makes it his own.. awesome

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Corey is a great teacher!

[@dljohnsonmusic]

GUYS!!! This has to be the best how to guitar video that I have come across!!!! The presentation is awesome and the fact that you are really teaching and learning from each other, but also presenting the information to those that are watching. Corp world calls it train the trainer...love it. So much information to be applied from this and implementing this into my playing as I am watching for the second time!!! Keep up the great work!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome to hear Daryel! Glad you got something out of it!

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Corey is an awesome blues guitar teacher! Enjoyed the vid. 👍😀

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@Tier_1_Golf_Academy]

Since discovering him about two months ago, Corey is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. He is the kind of player that I’ve always wanted to be myself. He’s comfortable in all styles of music yet still has developed his own sound from his myriad influences. I got serious about guitar around age 14 or so, when I saw Alan Jackson’s Austin City Limits show. His guitarist was playing all the Brent Mason stuff from the record and it blew my mind. Dude was a monster and no one knew his name. The search to find out who he was led me down the session guitarist rabbit hole and I’ve been digging it deeper ever since. Nothing has been better for my sideman career than imitating session guys and learning to play multiple styles well. It allowed me to sit in with a blues band, jazz trio, and a classic rock band in the same week and be convincing enough in each to get the call backs. Most of my buddies went chasing a single hero of theirs like SRV, EJ, Slash or whomever else it may have been, and even though a few of them became monster players, they were only monsters in their comfort zones. To each his or her own, but in my opinion the best players on Earth are the guys cutting the records that you don’t hear much about. I rambled off all that nonsense to say that Corey is as complete a player as I have seen and my only gripe with him is that he didn’t show up on my radar sooner. So many licks to cop and not enough time to do it 😂 If you happen to stumble across this Corey, thank you for all the incredible content you freely give to us peasants in this music kingdom 🤘🏼

[@Tier_1_Golf_Academy]

I’m happy I wrote it if you needed to hear it brother. Happy holidays to you and yours as well, and I’ll give you a shout after the holidays. Be safe and relax before it’s time to kick 2020 square in its a** 🤘🏼.

Without a doubt session guys are the best players I have ever been around. Thanks for watching!

Papa always brings out the best in his guests. They should bring him in as a consultant on their TrueFire Courses.

Thanks! Corey is awesome!

[@rdouglas1965]

Have worked through a bunch of Corey's Truefire courses, but this was such a wonderful surprise. It's great seeing the two of you going back and forth. I'm off to plug in my guitar and put my arpeggio practice to use now!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome man! Enjoy! Corey and I have something pretty darn awesome coming out in about 3 weeks so keep an eye out for it!

[@richardsong8]

Awesome! Glad to hear you are liking the videos! Thanks for watching!

Amazing arpeggio in dominant 7. Completely different from the usual lessons on pentatonic. It shows the theory that support a great melodic solo. Very much appreciated.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome!

[@VintageTubeTone]

Best part of this video (around 10:30) is how quickly Brett picks this lesson up and incorporates the arpeggios into his own awesome playing style.

Thanks!

I like that sound too. That triad: Root, 3rd, 5th followed by the b7 in the key of E is the start of "Pretty Woman". Now I see what Roy Orbison did. Sounds sassy! Another useful lesson as always Brett!! It is like mixing major and minor to my ears. Very cool.

Thank ya sir!

Awesome!!! Thanks for the support! Corey's course is awesome. Second addition comes out in 2 weeks or so!

Seriously awesome, Robben Ford type licks, I always wondered what arpeggios Robben is using. Corey and Brett are amazing together, Corey is by far one of the best instructors I've seen on You Tube. thanks for that!

Corey also seems like he is a really nice and fun guy, and you both seem to complement each other, too; great to watch two humble, but very talented, people enjoying playing together. Many thanks, Brett.

[@BBQ1953]

Brad Carlton used that exact same dominant 7 arpeggiation in a Rhythmology series sponsored by D’Adarrio 10 years ago. It was the same chord structures and scale (root, third, fifth, flat seven, etc.). I thought I was going to finally get around to learning how to play some Funky rhythm pieces but Brad was way over my head. I remember thinking back then that maybe one day I finally would figure it out. Well, I still don’t have it figured out but I understand it better now. Brett and several others got me this far, it looks like Mr. Congilio is about to teach us the triads in Blues chord progression. Who knows, maybe this’ll give me the confidence to go back and use Mr. Carlton’s lessons to finally pin down some of those rhythms in Funk! Maybe get some of that Blues to Funk crossover stuff the Kirk Fletcher has mastered.

Thanks for demo. On my side, my taste is not for that kind of arpeggios in a Blues context. I feel less is more, few notes, some silences to install a dramatic feel, that's my thing. While I do like the dominant 7th chords, I would not arpeggiate them. Anyway, I like the 2 of you demoing, keep that good time roll 👍

[@gillesgenete9598]
