This is the kind of blues rhythm lesson I was looking for. You're one of the few giving clear lessons for intermediate and advanced players. You don't assume too much and you don't hold people's hands too much. You're both clear and concise. Love it.

[@coreycongilio]

Thx!

[@pipastring9331]

With your lessons I've finally struck gold - you are a great teacher. I used to sweat trying to hold down huge 7th chords, but with these tips I can now fly effortlessly through a 12-bar in any key and it sounds great. Thanks so much!

[@MiguelEsguerra]

It's a nice thing to know how you approach creating chord progression. Keeping it tight and closely knitted.

[@jonathanavery7583]

Sweet Corey, these shapes were a lightbulb for me this week. It’s super powerful to be able to find “triads” of the 1 3 and b7 on adjacent strings all over the neck and build it into comping. Love this lesson which reinforces a very important concept. Love it man.

[@coreycongilio]

thank you!

[@PeterKertesz2013]

Corey, you are the best of blues rhythm teaching. Thank you.

[@MiguelEsguerra]

He got me there. "Not a bar chord to be found." That's good stuff, Corey. Haha! :D

[@chrisforrest4581]

Great lesson Corey !! and Love the (Freak Out) shirt

[@mathewbrown9371]

As always, wow 😯! I know it’s slow grind to the top for guitarists on KZbin, but I seriously think Corey’s channel will just hit and tipping point of exposure and get to half a million subscribers in record time; you can only mine gold for so long before the town’s people take notice!

[@coreycongilio]

appreciate that!

[@matthewahearn6781]

So many lessons on scales, licks, and ripping solos. This stuff is so important and surprisingly hard to find put together like this! Thanks!

[@zettepix2009]

You were already my favourite instructor in Truefire and this KZbin Channel is great I am now sticking to you only as instructor and progressing a bit faster by looking and imitating how you play and use your hands.

[@braxal6983]

Corey between you and Berth's channel you guys are awesome!!! Berth is on the other side of the spectrum and is is darn good too!!!!

[@coreycongilio]

Sweet thanks!

[@mr.rudolph630]

For some reason Corey, I've found your lessons in 2021 absolutely fantastic. I don't know what it is but your joy for the guitar shines through and speaks to me. I've subscribed, but I may go in for more. Excellent.

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that so much!

[@paulbillingham6769]

Got my 1st guitar in 1967. It may as well have been a do it yourself Apollo 13 kit. But because I love Music, and wasn't happy just listening to it, I learnt to play a little. And then that wasn't enough . It is only when you can Be the music that you will be happy. Thanks, Cory, KZbin, and every other Muso who helped lead me to Paradise.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Corey you love for music just shines out no matter what you are playing you are giving 100 % and I and I think all of your subscribers appreciate it!

[@mikealpinist3818]

Corey that was an amazing lesson. Believe me that with the things i new already those shapes were exactly what it was missing in my playing. You took me to the next level.. You are a Top teacher on KZbin..

[@coreycongilio]

appreciate that!

[@judwatkins9478]

And what a "trail of crumbs" this is! Gold nuggets, I'd say! Corey, you're the best, man.

[@g-man7687]

Corey your lessons are golden. I hope you know how much you help us all understand the possibilities of the blues which are much deeper than most people think. Thank you and keep them coming. Much appreciated.

[@ahsistermojo]

You are an amzing teacher. Thank you

[@coreycongilio]

You're very welcome!

[@letterli]

Absolutely GREAT stuff here - happy found you here on KZbin - Much appreciated - THANKS!

[@coreycongilio]

My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed. If you’re interested my KZbin lessons in one place, you can check this out for free. Best of luck! www.workingclassguitar.com/courses/enrolled/1792849

[@imannonymous7707]

It's nice to see your channel growing and gigs thriving too ..you deserve it. Great lesson

[@coreycongilio]

Hey thx so much!

[@imannonymous7707]

You're welcome cory...and thanks for replying. I appreciate all the work you put in. Its inspiring

[@hearpalhere]

I love how you always show where the smaller chord shapes come from. Thanks Corey!

[@dennispope8299]

Thank you Corey! I will use this as connective material to eventually get on those barre chords. Well done sir!

[@tszegvary]

Man Corey! Every-time I see a video of yours I'm like "bah, another video lesson by a youtuber" - then I watch anyway and it totally fills a gap in my playing that you found. So good - many thanks for all your tipps & tricks! Keep on recording stuff for us :-)

[@coreycongilio]

Haha, well I'll keep trying to help! thx for watching.

[@paulcarr2207]

Wonderful, thank you.

[@jasong4879]

thanks, ive been needing to learn all those Dominant 7 triads and inversions, this is helpful

[@williamhawkins69]

My first visit to your channel. Really enjoyed it. I’ve been using some triads for 3 years or so but only recently discovered the minor triad for example. I needed a dom7 triad. I found your approach really helpful

[@coreycongilio]

Glad to hear it. Plenty of Dom7 arpeggios here too!

[@braxal6983]

OH Man!!! Corey I hope I am not bugging you with all these praises but you do such a good job describing a lesson that goes somewhere in a practical way. I am very much appreciative!!! Please, Please keep it up. You are awesome!!!!

[@coreycongilio]

I appreciate that!

[@davidevans945]

You always have such an elegant and clear way of explaining concepts. It's been an honor to support your efforts (and roof construction). The courses with Papa are excellent, too.

[@coreycongilio]

Thx so much, David! Appreciate all of the support! New lesson in a few hours!!

[@milesburton6558]

Best tutorial ever. I've seen a lot over many years. Kinda the icing on the cake is how straight up Corey is. PRS asked for it and Corey delivered. How to make musical rhythm, I've been waiting for one of the "aha" moments for a long time. The barn doors are now wide open. PRS have been wise to work with you and I'm going to have to check out a few of your corses. If they're anything like this, they're gold.

[@coreycongilio]

thx for these thoughts...

[@grantbob]

I play that 4 string version of the D7 all the time but never thought of the 3 string voiciing inside it you showed. So simple, yet powerful. Thanks so much for your lessons Corey.

[@coreycongilio]

Glad it helped!

[@michaeld.mahoney9106]

Outstanding, lesson as usual. Thanks.

[@coreycongilio]

Thx!

[@kane6529]

Thanks Corey! reminds me of the old saying that’s lead is for Show! and Rhythms for the dough 💵

[@coreycongilio]

haha yep!

[@ronkresch9228]

Another fantastic lesson!

[@coreycongilio]

Glad you liked it!

[@JohnDupuyintegralrecovery]

Very cool. Very helpful. Thanks!

[@walterredaelli5736]

Corey rules... my one and only rhythm teacher on TF . 👍🏻🎸 blues on

[@taddcohen5558]

[@ricopedrajrs]

Prost! Thanks for making my playing better, man.

[@raybeeger1529]

Wonderful explanation.

[@TheJuggernautv2]

Great video and respect for the Mothers shirt !

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks!

[@MovingBlanketStudio]

so good, perfect lesson

[@coreycongilio]

🙏🏻

[@jaimiestead254]

Top tips Corey, thank you.

[@coreycongilio]

My pleasure! Thx!

[@VipulChagotra]

I always dig your intermediate and advanced blues lessons Corey. You are the best!!!

[@coreycongilio]

thank you!

[@samstamos427]

Great lesson on economizing one's effort while improvising rhythm chops. This is covered in detail, and expanded upon, in your course "Intermediate Blues Guitar Lessons-Rhythm", which is offered on your website and streamed through Udemy. What's great about that course are the tab and backing tracks. Once a person goes through a lesson video, you are able to play a backing track and improvise along and repeat it (with the tab if needed) until it becomes second nature. Then "By George! You've got it!" Multiple keys, dominant 7th, 9ths, etc.. And once the course is complete you can go back and jam to the backing tracks at will. Totally awesome!

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that ringing endorsement, Sam! I think you’ll love the next few Udemy courses!

[@samstamos427]

@@coreycongilio Looking forward to it. All the Best Corey!

[@waynehicks1969]

I like that you pointed out that these smaller 3 note chords work well when you have a bass player, but for a trio without a bass player you probably want the bigger chords with the root, and substituting the fifth for flavor.

[@coreycongilio]

I use them as the only guitarist a lot too. It’s all about having more arrows in your quiver and when to use them! Thx for that comment!

[@TheJuggernautv2]

Had to watch through a second time, love it! Thanks for taking the time to post the tabs.

[@coreycongilio]

No problem!

[@druwk]

Great lesson! Love these partial chord shapes, and you are right Sir, they do sound more Pro! Importantly they allow the bass and drum groove to shine. they allow you to jump out into lead lines.

[@coreycongilio]

you got it!

[@snuffbox2006]

Cool fun lesson Corey. If people like this, then more of the same is to be found on Corey's Beginner and Intermediate blues rhythm courses. I have gotten a lot from them. Same great teaching style, more in depth content, all very well explained and demonstrated.

[@azbluesdog]

I couldn't agree more. Corey's got some great stuff on TrueFire. He and I go back to 2012. lol

[@coreycongilio]

Haha!

[@coreycongilio]

Thx Jeff!

[@ianw5812]

Great lesson Corey! This is just the chords knowledge boost I needed to get me out of a rut.

[@coreycongilio]

Awesome!

[@brianbuck7352]

[@nicolajohnson1628]

[@rafa_guitar]

Second time I enjoy this awesome lesson, thanks Corey!

[@darrylv.5400]

Thanks Corey, I'm just getting into the world of triads and this is going to help me find those chords that you have laid out in this lesson - Very Much Appreciated!

[@coreycongilio]

Glad to help!

[@doyleallen3762]

Yes that is the kind of stuff I love doing.. Always have an eye out for more stuff like that. Way kewl. Love the rhythm playing tweakin' combos.

[@warrior11ism]

Thanks Corey great lesson! Much appreciated…..G

[@uelisgold]

Corey great rhythm and blues techniques lesson. Thanks for the backing track. Awesome mix of swing, funk, jump, blues 💙. And goodbye barre chords. These little chord shapes are more fun to play. Wished I learned them years ago.

[@coreycongilio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@twankwhelan8517]

Great lesson, I'm already havin' fun with these chords

[@raimondo3178]

Awesome T-shirt from a foundational album! Quite the thing.

[@hearpalhere]

Awesome t-shirt Corey!!! Love that album, it's so insane how modern and hip that sounds to this very day. Looping/sampling type sounds in 1966... crazy stuff and the lyrical content too. OK, now let me get back to listening to the lesson :-)

[@ianmiddleton9143]

Nice work. Great to get use to playing different shapes. Good way to stay out of other players way. Find a little place where you can add something without stepping on other players.

[@stephenhanlin2388]
