A Trini! Nice. I believe he died just last year.
Damn, I'm definitely going to grab this next payday... I just hope it will still be on sale... Being on disability I get paid once a month and I have to be frugal with my cash but this looks like it will be very helpful because I get the pentatonic scale and can see it everywhere I just don't know how to connect them so it doesn't sound like the same old stuff over and over... This will help to get better phrasing ideas under my fingers... I wish I had paid more attention to this kinda stuff when I was younger and just learning how to play... This was great and a huge amount of help Corey, thanks!
Thanks alot..any link for backing track ?
Thank you Corey that was the missing blues solo lesson on YT, at least for me. It's always satisfying to be taught by a real music teacher.
As always thank you. I know my pentatonic scales and am learning my arpeggios. This does what a lot of lessons don’t due, that is, show how to tie the two together into something usable.
I have only recently subscribed and keep going back further to learn more and more. I think I have learned more from your channel in the last 4 months than my 30 years of noodling. 😅
It looks like Corey has the only 'Trini Lopez' model that Dave Grohl hasn't hoarded!
😂I snatched it from him
It’s no easy feat taking a Trini away from someone. That headstock really keeps the attacker far away from you. I might pull something trying to tune that high e string.
I also own one as well. It’s my baby. I’d never part with it.
Very cool. You teach very well, didactically. More than that, the scales he teaches transformed into swing reffs, makes training very, very pleasurable. The smile comes naturally on the face. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you Corey, honestly I've never been happy with my guitar playing until I looked at your courses. I wanted lessons on rhythm and honestly I've never had a better teacher. It feels so homely and comfy. Pacing is amazing. I am genuinely happy I stumbled on to your channel and went on your website because honestly I feel genuine happiness the moment I pick up my guitar to practice
Great to hear!
Awesome --always want to play & learn every time I hear your videos. Tone, phrasing, traditional with that extra something that keeps it so inspiring & forward looking. Thanks and glad to see you're on the mend!!
Gotta say your overall tone - guitar and backing track are some of the best on YT!
Thx Steve!
Second that!
I think what alot of us non pros forget as well is it is totally fine and actually great sounding in fact to play the same riff or arpeggio concept over each chord. It's a way to tell the listener hey the chords are changing but gives the listener something to hold on to. I have a tendency to improvise and feel like you have to play something different over every change something I really want to focus on
Thanks for all your teachings Corey!!! A hug from Argentina!

Absolutely Gold lesson! And explained so good! 🙏 Corey.
Great lesson, thanks. I love the sound of dominant 7 and mixolydian progressions. Great stuff
Absolutely brilliant, thank you!
All that and the sickest tone 🤙
Awesome Corey, thankyou for the tabs!
Take the Minor Pentatonic scale and simply add in 3 for this formula: 1-b3-3-4-5-b7.
Now take the 5 CAGED shapes, and add in that major 3rd; always slide up (or hammer on) from b3 to 3.
2) Add in 2 and 6, and now you have Mixolydian but with b3 added in: 1-2-b3/3-4-5-6-b7.
3) Add in b5 from the Blues scale.
4) The final 3 notes of b2-b6-7 can be used as chromatic passing tones.
- So now every note is available to you from within the 5 CAGED shapes (I think of this as EDCAG-7).
Seriously Great lesson! Cant wait to go work on this lesson!
Great lesson Corey!! Thanks!
Man, how I wait for your new lessons!Thanks a load.Namaste and stay blessed.
Namaste
Thanks Corey, just found your channel. As a novice trying to learn over last 20 years or so on and off (not easy when you're older with family) this has opened doors in my head in ways other tutorials haven't, concerning connecting thrases. Keep up the good work
Thx! Glad the lessons have been helpful
I purchased the book this morning, like the other book, it is great how you mix text with videos. I am enjoying learning. Keep up the great work
Awesome! Thx so much and glad you’re enjoying the lessons!
Great stuff Corey!
Super helpful man thank you so much!
great sound!!
Great lesson Corey, thanks so much 👊
Nice job! Thank you for sharing.
This is really helpful, THANKS ❤
thank you . beautiful stuff. God Bless
Corey always delivers !
Great lesson. A lot of videos show you the scale then they start flying up and down the fretboard. I really appreciate how you break down the licks as well.
Glad it was helpful
Got your book Corey, really helped me understand those arpeggios, but I went further into the minor ones too. One thing: your trick starting the ascending phrases from a 1/2 step below really adds the spice...Thanks.
Corey breaks it down. I like his style of teaching.
Excellent and informative information
Absolutely sick lick and tone! Rockin’ Saturday!!! Thank you!
thank you!
You are a genius! Thank you for this lightbulb! I have already bought your book!
Wow! Thx so much!
Great lesson! Your tone and feel are awesome! Enjoy your channel, corey!
Thx so much!
Corey is the juice
Thanks
I love your playing Corey!✨ Greetings from Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Thanks so much!
Killer stuff Corey!
Total cool man, thank you! 🎸🎼🎶
Thanks again Corey!!!! You kick Azz!
Great stuff. Thanks
I started doing this in my second year of playing. I picked it up through a lot of the players I was listening to like Robben Ford. In fact, I even heard a lot of shreddy players doing this like Satch and Greg Howe. But I didn't quite understand what I was doing at the time. I was using a lot of bad transcriptions which would tell you where they notes are but didn't get into why the notes where there and why they sounded good in such a scenario. But I did this lesson. It puts things in perspective. Also, great playing and tone. Well done!
One the best guitar lesson videos I've seen in years! Thank you so much
Awesome thanks!
Yes, I agree. It's the simple explanations that get the most mileage when teaching. Here it is.
This is with deepest respect and truly a compliment, you remind me of Robben Ford, really great playing.
Thanks Soo Much for the lesson Corey!!! I have been stuck in the Minor Pentatonic Rut for a long long time. I really love the flavors that this is adding to my playing. Soo much so that im going all in "Im gonna buy the soloing book 👍 I have been wanting to break free from this Pentatonic Jail for soo long now. Thanks Again
Sick lesson bro, helped me out a lot!
Glad to hear it!
I’ve been wanting to get a sound like this, this was a great way of teaching it
Glad it was helpful!
Ditto ‘dat - what a nice box!
Sweet guitar 🎸 🔥
Hi Corey,
I wish I could have found your channel much earlier.
Dominant 7 lessons are super valuable!
I feel like I was stuck playing the usual pentatonic scales, but discovering dominant 7 chords and arpeggios made me enjoy more what I am playing.
Thank you very much!
Glad you’re here. Enjoy the lessons as their are lots of arpeggio videos here and on my lesson website
so good
Great playing and instruction. I can follow you through all the dominant 7 arpeggios and minor pentatonic response licks, but I still can't quite articulate the notes with the style and energy your playing conveys. But then again, few can. Just purchased your eBook as I want to do what I can to help support your channel.
Mighty kind of you. Thank you for the support
Damn, that is some tone in the intro!!!
Good Morning Corey and all! ☀️
Doug Smith from Denver.
Sounds awesome Corey, thanks for yet another awesome lesson here!
Hope to hear from your tech guy soon Corey, thanks!
Have a great weekend everyone! 🎸🎶
emailed!
I bought the blues rhythm course I'm buying this next
The key to the highway !!
Wow! I fell in love with the Trini Lopez Standard in the '70s, but had to settle for a Silvertone 1475 "Country Gentleman". Nice work, man.
Thx!
Hello Corey just wondering whether there’s an attachment for us to print off and also is this covered in any of your blues courses, of which I do have four and getting through them slowly but surely. You do explain things really well thank you very much 😊
Sounds great , what is your guitar recording setup in this video ?
Wow, I can totally see how this would unlock the fret board. Also, somebody has a totally cool Trini Lopez!
Good Medicine Brother! Thank You for sharing… 🙏🏼
Wow Corey never thought of it that way. Thank you
My pleasure!
@@coreycongilio You have a great sound on UA-cam. Would you please recommend equipment needed to put videos on UA-cam. From Sweetwater I'm looking at Apple Mac Studio M1 512GB, Apollo Interface bundle, Native instruments controller, DAW software PreSonus Studio One. Once you record in DAW does UA-cam allow you to upload? Thank you
@@e.papascottcolvin7921 I record my audio in UA's software called Luna. It's free when you buy an Apollo. I mix my audio there and then add it to my video software where I edit and then upload to youtube. I don't use amp modelers or plugins all that much. I use amplifiers and the UA Ox Box UA OX Amp Top Box
imp.i114863.net/uafxox
@@e.papascottcolvin7921 best to email me at corey@coreycongilio.com with future questions as I may not see them here.
brilliant lesson - and love the Zappa'esque facial hair.
I bought the ebook - its fantastic!
Hey, Corey "I'm an avid follower and can't get enough of your videos!!!! I truly believe you can help get me to that playing ability I soo dream about. Am working hard on Arpeggios and I'm that guy who has been stuck in the Minor Penta for Years and well more years and need to add this new language to my jams. Anyhow, my question is this. Is there some kind of trick or way to play an Arpeggio anywhere on the neck in whatever key your playing in, And know which Pentatonic shape your playing near to jump right into. I developed the bad habit of looking for my root note on the top string and basically jumping off box 1 to move into my other positions. But, when I am further on down the strings it's challenging to know where I am and what penta position is where I'm at. Cant just stop the jam and be like. Wait a minute let me go to top string and slide through the positions until I get to where I ended my Arpeggio 😂 Anyhow, A quick practice your positions more could be coming!!! Lol Thanks 4 all you do on here man. Sincerely ✌️
Your an excellent teacher you should do this in a truefire video I’d buy it . I just found you an I’ll will get your book!
Hey thx! I do lots of this stuff at my site where you’ll see the book. All of my courses and books come from my site Working Class Guitar from here on out. In case you need the book like, here it is! working-class-guitar.teachable.com/p/applying-dominant-7-arpeggios-handbook?coupon_code=LAUNCH50&product_id=4762343
All the best!
Great lesson. Hope the Bells Palsy is on the mend and you are feeling healthier.
Thx! Feeling much better
Corey...Haa...that opener was Sooo tasty....i wanted to sink my teeth into it.....😅...but i learned that already from earlier videos from you...Thanks for you quality contend.....i appreciate it.....cheers....
ps...hope you got over that palsy thingy you had a while ago...you look fine again....all the best...
Uses his little pinky, something many of your guitar idols don't do. Younger players have the advantages with all these great UA-cam videos we didn't have unless your were lucky enough to get a great teacher back in the day.
Mr. Congilio.....very nice....good comprehensive practical theory approach. Most appreciative generous for sharing. Ebook doesn't show up on small phone screen only cellular access no computer. Any assistance or direct link because nothing is showing up ....would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Michael. Thx! Please email us at support@workingclassguitar.com and we will help out.
I use it on my phone and mobile device and I’m seeing everything including the video lesson links. Again, email us and we’ll do our best to get you sorted out. Thx!
Hi Corey....
I want to learn how you hold your guitar pick.
I use a typical fender style shape but, I use the blunt end and not the point.
Hey Corey, another great lesson. Do you always marry the dominant 7 Arpeggio with the minor pentatonic when soloing over major 7 chords blues progression? Or can you combiine the dominant 7 arpeggio with the corresponding Major Pentatonics if you apply Major pentatonics for major blues soloing
You can mix, that's what's so great about blues, you have so many available sounds. Arpegios, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, mixolydian, whole half, altered...
Damn this is big
Bought the ebook! Great content! I know its not all about gear, but what pickups do you have installed in this hummingbird 335? They sound delicious.
Hey thx! They’re great pickups. Tone Specific Bloombuckers
@@coreycongilio Oooh, thanks. I haven't come across those before. They sound like they might be the perfect fit for my Eastman 339-type guitar.
Is the opening solo from this video covered in the book?
Not the opening but, the middle solo is.
I seem to see a lot of players going up the major pentatonic (or arpeggio) then down the minor pentatonic in solos. Is this a common ‘formula’?
Damnit Corey… I have been contemplating picking up a Trini Lopez model hard this week and making a bunch of excuses to not get one. I was showing my daughter (8 year old) the different colors, she’s not a fan of the style. I said whatever, I like them lol. Then boom, here you are playing one. It’s like a omen hahahaha.
Went and bought one today. No sad about it.
Oh nice! There ya go!
Corey, you play the c# over the G7 4chord. Trying to get my head around why this sounds so creamy? Hear it a lot in blues.. help please, anyone? I'm guessing simply but importantly just tension resolution, sharp to the tonic..??Cheers
Thank you so much Corey, great video as always.
I have a question for you..do you know G&L telecaster?
Larry Carlton vs G&L? Who would be the winner in your opinion?
I haven't played the Sire Carlton but, I have the S7 HSS Strat and it's great for the money!
@@coreycongiliothank you for ask me Corey❤️❤️
And what do you think of the G&L? According to what they say, they are better than the low and medium range fenders... which, although they are made in Indonesia, have components from the USA.
@@masqacordes G&L are very nice as well. Equal or better to Fender in that price range
@@coreycongilio thank you Corey
Hey Corey, Amos here, I was in your last Zoom meeting and I asked about this very subject. Question, couldn't you also use a D Mixolydian plus a G blue scale (6atonic) which would put 10 tones at your disposal (in the key of G that is)? Thanks for another great video and I'm working my way through your new book.
Hey Amos. You sure can. The Arpeggios always got me to the finish line faster than the mode!
@@coreycongilio Yes I was talking about those scales in with the arpeggios.
Oh yeah you sure could! That’s where it’s all coming from anyway.
hay tell me about the ear monitors your using ? do they replace headphones all the time or just for performing?
These are the ones I use. Mainly use them when making youtube vids.
@@coreycongilio Hay can i get the name of the units?

I was staring at the head stock ,what did he say again ? Lol. I get so distracted so easy.
What is the beautiful es335
It’s actually a 1965 Trini Lopez!
what exactly is that, repeated down a whole step thing on 0:39?
B7 arpeggio then an A7 arpeggio
I noticed you don't use your pinky finger much when you played to the track.
Is it better to avoid using it?
but what about all those rock songs that don't have 7th chords?

I can't stop looking at that guitar...it's all wrong, alternate universe stuff right there
Damn, I'm definitely going to grab this next payday... I just hope it will still be on sale...

This will help to get better phrasing ideas under my fingers... I wish I had paid more attention to this kinda stuff when I was younger and just learning how to play...
Hey Corey, your arpeggio video's are some of the better ones. I'm retired and I have alot of time for learning, but I'm stuck. I have probably watched over 1000 YT video's. Can't even
afford a new E string for my $200 guitar, so I'm playing my $80 guitar ! There is something
missing in every YTube video, and I'm guessing you would be the person to finger it out. I
believe it would be very popular. I have memorized the pentatonic over the entire fretboard,
I map it with 1,b3,4,5,b7. and use a 28 fretboard grid without fret markers, so I can play in
any key by placing the 1 on any note. I don't play it in a scalular form. But I'm trying to focus on following the chords. So I'm in the process of trying to memorize arpeggios over the entire fretboard (overload) (guitarcharts.net is one of the best fretboard mapping tools).
But I have to say that I HATE the sound of just playing thru arpeggios, although they sound
melodic, it's way to formulaic, and sounds like popcorn music, or math rock ! I'm into blues
based rock, not blues. I doesn't sound to me like billy gibbons,slash,J page are just playing
arpeggios, their cord tone soloing is somehow different. If you can figure this out and make it teachable you will have done what at least 50 of the most popular YTube teacher's are
attempting to do but just can't. In my 54 years of "intermediate" playing it seems that 9 out of 10 guitar players are trying to learn blues (only to play blues based rock, not pure blues).
1 example of a arpeggio based solo that I didn't even realize was arp based is "Fall to Peices" by Velvet Revolver it's a Slash lead. I don't really care for the band's songs but the lead on this song is the only time I have ever cried on hearing a solo. And I'm not really the "Crying" type! Figure out how blues rockers are thinking/doing an make it step by step,
and you will be a guitar teacher GOD ! Sorry this is so long. Do you ever play in Clarksville ?
I have never commented on anyones lesson, but I think you are probably the only teacher who might be able to do this, but it won't be an easy video it will take alot of thought and analysis.
