Man, you are a great teacher.. just a few simple things in each lesson, easy to digest, but so, so useful.. Thanks!
Appreciate that
Wholeheartedly agree!
Fun lesson, Cory. Thanks as always for the top-notch content.
great lesson Mr. Corey. thanks
Great lesson, very melodic, Clapton-esque, and the Strat helped a lot!
Nicely done as usual Corey! Thanks. KEEP THAT GUITAR!
Brilliant lesson as always Mr C. These tips about linking the relative major and minor a godsend for me. Thank you.
Awesome video. Always good info
How apropos! Am dwelling in the A major right now so will have to incorporate this lesson into the playing. Thanks C man. Awesome as always.
I bought and sold that exact Strat a few months back. They are SWEEET. Great lesson as always
As always.....so impressed with your playing and lessons. That Strat is pretty and sounds great!
Thx so much!
I used this line and the 5th shape major pentatonic scale and put it to practice on the circle of 4ths. This is really opening up the fretboard for me.
What a excellent teacher Corey. You make everything so easy to take in and learn. Be the channel man.
Thanks!
Great lesson. So thankful for your time in creating this lesson.
Glad you enjoyed!
Super nice, I've been using this pattern for a while now. It works for both major and minor pentatonic with a change in the starting position. I just need to pick up my speed.
Love the guitar
Yet another outstanding lesson Corey! 🎸🎶. I love the thought of flowing like that without playing a scale type thing… landing on the third or the fifth out of the Triad that makes up the Chord…Sounds so beautiful!
Glad you liked it!
How I see it, your joining the dots with the scale and playing the chords within, nice lesson, great sound from that lovely strat.
Great lesson, this really helped me to shift between major and minor pentatonic in the chord progression. Even motivated me to get the old looper pedal out, and overdrive! Thanks for the jam.
Love to hear that!
Corey, I began watching your videos and I became an adict , jajajajajaja, you are great to teach
Mercy Mercy Mercy .... You got me in 6:09 ... So sweet and simple on the dot .... Better get your major course....
You can make a career out of playing guitar just from playing around that scale ya just shared! Especially if ya throw in some tasty minor pentatonic licks here & there!!! I like it because of the way it moves ya up & down the neck horizontally!! As always thanx foor the share!
Thank you Maestro
Bravo Corey, I subscribed to your channel because you really deserve it: your lessons are a pleasure and your simple, direct, positive energy is contagious. I don't need to tell you, you are an excellent musician and full of taste. You are a great discovery these days, I'm watching all your videos!
Plus, thank you so much for all the files you share, not many do.
Ciao, Ste :)
Hey thx so much! I appreciate the support!
Great lesson! As a newcomer to blues and pentatonics scales, I love how you expand our knowledge. Great to lear a new way to to play the Major pentatonic scale. Thank you.
Thx! I’m uploading a version of this for WCG as well!
Eighteen minutes of pure 24 caret gold -- thank you CC! Becoming one of your subscribing students was hands-down the best guitar instruction decision I've ever made.
Thx for that, Jeff! I just posted another version of this in WCG. More on the way!
Very intersting and nice. Thanks ! Jeff
The Fender Stratocaster is the premier Rock & Roll guitar of all time and you make it sound great!
Beautiful sound
Thx!
Corey you very musical! And a great teacher !
Thx so much!
As always, the best lessons on UA-cam continue. Gold.
Thx! Tell your friends lol!
Your explanations and teaching method is amazing! So easy to understand. Thanks for all the great videos man. 🥃
Hey thx for that!
Just been looking at major pentatonics myself, so this is great timing. 👍
Great to hear, Winston!
Really good lesson to start the holiday weekend out right!!! Thanks Corey!
Thx Jim! I’ll be posting a different version in WCG too!
@@coreycongilio Great!! Can't wait to see it!
Always useful and always great Corey. This one is a lightbulb moment for me in that we can change major pentatonics for each chord, and not use simply the major pentatonic of the major key of the tune. I kind of knew it, but I don’t think I’d ever heard it articulated before. Awesome dude.
Hey Jonathan. Glad you’re enjoying this. I’m not changing scales here btw, I’m using the A major pentatonic and targeting notes per each chord. Didn’t wanna confuse ya.
Awesome video, thank you
My pleasure
You rock my friend. Literally and figuratively.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great lesson, great T-shirt. Thanks!
Haha, thx!
Love the bit you were playing starting at 13:09, Corey. Awesome stuff man
Thx so much!
The more I watch your channel, as well as other channels, I realize your work/guitar skills and taste in music speaks to me more than any other channel I've come across. I learn so much from your expressive and dynamic technique, and you inspire me to pick up the guitar and continue to experiment with different pedals and other gear in search of my own sound. Thanks, Corey!
That’s what it’s all about. Appreciate that
Corey, been watching since Eric showed off your skills during the pandemic, thanks for all the knowledge and lessons. I truly enjoy your style of teaching! I tried a bunch of strats, couldn't find a home. I ended up with a G&L Comanche, over their S500, and damn is it versital, from strat to Muddy buckers it's awesome. If you haven't tried one pick one up and play it. Bass and treble gain. I'm a G&L snob now and their quality is amazing, even overseas models. Tribute (Indonesia models) have american pickups. Keep up the good work.
Thx for watching and thx for the insight in your guitar!
Great lesson Corey! looking forward to your next.
Thx!
i must admit.. I don't watch your channel as much as others, but, when I do, I gather SO much INFO on way things "sound"... and how to make certain things happen on the fretboard.. you sir are an excellent teacher!!
Hey thanks and welcome back, Donald!
Hey, Good Morning Corey! I have a 25+ years Strat with nearly the same scheme - blue instead of green. It’s right next to me (it has a spot of its own, leaning against the couch). Anyway,.. Love my Saturday morning coffee - with Corey! Keep Up the Great Work, Brother! 👍🎸✌️😎
Thx David!
Just starrted watching again and said to myself " That Strat souunds amazing" and realized it was the same vid where I stated " That Strat sounds amazing " a month or two ago! love your vidz Corey great teacher and you subltlely show how important ,essential actually,singing your ideas and keeping time by tapping a foot are.Love it man
Never Stop ( playing that Strat).
Thanks!
Thanks Corey! Dig the lesson, Motown flavor... My Girl, Stand by me. Also enjoying WCG!
Thx so much, GW! Glad to have ya in WCG!
Would love to see your backing tracks available again! Maybe for streaming on apple music? an album of all your backing tracks would be awesome! Great playing :)
Thumbs up for your playing alone man! Great lesson
Thx so much
wow I do that tri appsgios scale man you hit it right never heard it taught this way I get it now I have to play it very good info to know. I'll go over this vedio for a few days or weeks or months if I have to or maybe just one take..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
AWESOME....
Hi Corey, I just love your videos. You are such a melodic player and it is what I like to hear and what I like to play. I am predominantly a Strat player so those tones always appeal. Recently I bought a late 1950's style "S" type built by Bravewood in the UK. It looks as thought it could have belonged to the late great gentleman on your tee shirt today I am working through one of your Truefire courses at the moment. Cheers Corey.
Hey thx so much! Appreciate the support!
great stuff
Thx!
The sing-songy triads sounded pretty nice to me!
Thank you so much sir.
Most welcome
Corey, this is one of the best videos I ever watched. Simple and extremely effective ideas. If you have a course with this topic, I’m all in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🎸🎸🎸
Glad to hear it. Working on a course as we speak!
Looking forward to it !!
Great lesson and playing. I think you’re search is over . Keep that Strat.
That works for me, I have guitar fretboard overwhelm so going to settle on minor and major pentatonic.
You'll get a lot of mileage out of those two!
Man your lessons open a lot of new avenues of playing. I am a member of Working Class Guitar and recommend it to everyone who loves your UA-cam videos.
Wow thx so much! Appreciate that and your membership. More to come!
Will you be adding more lessons to WCG?
@@roadierobert7258 Yes! I'm uploading a special WCG extended version of this lesson now with a different key. I'm also uploading longer Major Pentatonic lessons as well.
And of course....å strat tone to die for😅...this inspires me....to throw my guitar out the window...without opening it first..again..as Always,a great lesson Corey.//🇸🇪
GREAT APPROACH. ALMOST GONE AT GLANCE HEARING YOU TALKING; NEVER TALKING AFTER NEW VIDEO AT FIRST OPENING SECONDS OF THE NEW VIDEO. play JUST PLAY NEW STUFF EXPLAINED IN THE TITLE! THANKS FOR UP LODE MUCH APPRECIATE EFFORT. YOU ARE AN ANGEL WITH SO MANY ABOUT MATHEMATICS, PC, CODING LEARNING DIFFERENT SKILLS ABSOLUTE NICE TO SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE
Uuogh. Great sound.
I WANT ONE ! 😆 👍👍👍
The best blues guitarist si vegan! Wow
Another awesome lesson 👍, such a great teacher. Is there a backing track for this?
Love the Strat .Those V-mod pickups sound phenominal
They’re actually very nice.
Great job Corey - a great player (and teacher)! The only way your videos get any better is to include a pooch clip in their somewhere since I know you're also a dog lover : ) Have a great Memorial Day wkend!
Ha! Someday! Thx and you too
Perfect lesson for me. I am that person you spoke about in the beginning, just trying to get my feet wet with major pentatonic. Thank you for the great lesson. Keep em coming.
Glad to hear it!
Thx Corey. Luv ur expertise and teaching techniques. Will u be attending NAMM in June? Would be great seeing you there.👍😊🎸
Thx so much! No Namm for me this year.
Great stuff…
Thx!
Hey Corey, you sound great on a Strat (surprise!)
Great lesson, thanks for the insights.
Thx! My pleasure
Hi Corey, great material. Found your channel just recently. You explained the lesson so well. Where is the link to the backing track? Thanks!
Thanks, Dennis. Try this link. You'll just need to enroll in the free collection of videos. You'll get access to a lot more as well. working-class-guitar.teachable.com/courses/best-of-corey-s-youtube/lectures/41675425
Stand by me!!
Whew! One more example of why I am so grateful that Leo Fender toiled away in his garage all those years ago. Corey, for a 'non-Strat' guy, you are quite the Strat guy. (my Strat doesn't sound anything like yours!). Then again, I do believe you could make equally sublime sounds on a single string cigar box. Thank you so much for continually opening my eyes and ears.
Well said!
Appreciate the kind words
Corey I’ll buy that guitar from you when it’s time!
Ha! I’ll make you a good deal!
thank you.
I'll be watching.
I've been playing 40+years. and have learned much.
but this instruction pieced it all together for me.
so, thank you.
liked n sub'd
M.
Thx so much, Marty! Happy to help. More to come!
What is your amplifier and recording set up here? Sounds amazing! Wonderful lesson. Thanks Corey.
Thx man! I think this was a blues driver into the Bloomfield. Pretty simple if I recall
@@coreycongilio Awesome! And Ox Box or miked? Really great playing and tones man. Love it! Been digging into your channel.
Man hear you are saw a couple of videos you where on but you know how it's is there is so much info you get caught up on one thing and forget some of the good instructos and video lessons..Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
Hi Corey! Been following you since early in the TF days! I love that you said as you were explaining the notes you were playing that you aren't really thinking about that. You obviously have the talent/knowledge to feel it, but you always know you are landing where you need to be. For us lesser players----->Do you also play through melody/licks and if you feel or it sounds like you are not on the right note for the chord- you just quickly move it, right? Inevitably if it sounds 'off' it will immediately should sound 'on' after moving it one note.
Thanks for the support. Yeah, you can definitely hear it when it doesn't work. that's what I mean about letting your ear be the guide!
Great stuff as usual! Now I have to ask about the Strat you never play in the next WCG Hang Sesh.
Thx Ben! I’ll be doing a livestream soon talking about new gear and probably that old strat
Wish we got the backing track to practice this lesson.
You can get it here! cdn.fs.teachablecdn.com/wcl4NuA5Ryzy5h0MPjNg You'll need to create an account but, you'll get access to a lot more free YT lessons, Tabs and Tracks!
You seemed to be emphasising the major 7th of the A. Is this similar where you leave out the third in some chords two note chords in your lessons on chords?
Hmm, I don't recall playing any G#'s in this lesson. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
Do you sell the backing track from this video?
Hey Chris, I make backing tracks and Tabs available to my subscribers at my lesson website. You can try it free for 7 days and grab whatever you’d like. After that there’s a subscription. I can send you a discounted link if you’re interested. There’s 100s of lessons, tracks and tabs. Feel free to respond and let me know. Thanks!
“Oh when the night…”
I dont know why it took me that long to subscribe to this channel
Me neither! Haha. I’m glad you’re here. Enjoy the videos!
@@coreycongilio im really learning, just there is so many content with great quality that its Hard to choose wich one is next
☀️ Good Morning Corey and all… is this live?
Doug from Denver
Not live but thanks for tuning in!
@@coreycongilio really great to wake up and see this lesson Corey. You are a great guitarist and teacher! I learn a great deal from you! I have subscribed but would like to take a Course from you…
🤔 But wich Course I ask myself?
I have a basic knowledge of music theory… I know the ‘Caged system’ very well and can get around on the Fretboard. I understand basic theory such as 1-4-5 with the relative Minor.
I would say I am an intermediate player, but I do not know how to spice things up more in my blues playing… I would like to take a course that has a lot of details on understanding how to add arpeggio scales and arpeggiations along with bluesy 6 and 9 chords to add to the 7’s! Along with three note triads to better help my individual playing but also to help me to accompany other players.
Any Suggestions on one other your Courses?
Please send something and leave a link here… With the information I gave you you should be able to help me and I’ve seen some amazing lessons from you so definitely wanna take one of your courses!
What amp are you using?
Two Rock Bloomfield Drive
Where can we get the backing track.
You can get it here! cdn.fs.teachablecdn.com/wcl4NuA5Ryzy5h0MPjNg You'll need to create an account but, you'll get access to a lot more free YT lessons, Tabs and Tracks!
For not being a "strat" guy,you sure make that one sound pretty darn good.....but then again,something tells me that you could make a broom stick and a single piece of rope sound good!
Ha! Thanks so much!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
“…just havn some fun…”
Master ur a great teacher but try to make ur solo clearer by taking it slowly and naming the notes ur playing. Thank u sir.
The A major pentatonic scale has the same notes as F# minor pentatonic except you start on A rather than F# (correct?). As you point out there is not a D note in so you can use F# and A for the D Chord and also no G# for use with the E chord. So, in the case of E could you slide from the G# to the B? Also, could you start on the A note, use the D note as a passing/ghost note and then go to the F#?
It also seems to me that the only sharps are F# and C#. That makes me think this is actually a key of D run
Yes, Amajor and F#minor are relative meaning they contain the same notes. Slide in and out of whatever notes you like as long as it sounds good! The point of this lesson is that you can’t lose by using this line
@@coreycongilio Thanks Corey
@@edwardgodfrey7002 It's a pentatonic scale so doesn't have the 7th degree, in this case G#. But the chords are clearly spelling out A major. If you played in D you'd have a G natural which would sound weird in this context. Part of the reason why pentatonics are so great.
Where are you, homie!!!! We miss your Saturday morning inspiration! Hope that you're well, and that you haven't posted in a few weeks because you're off recording some amazing project or something.
Thx! I actually had Covid but, am back in action. Finishing a video today. Thx for askin!
@@coreycongilio I was worried that might be the case. I had it myself two weeks ago. Glad that you're feeling better. It's no fun. I didn't have any of the nasty chest congestion, but the fever, the body aches, the malaise, etc., just sucked.
Good lesson! Not a massive fan of the Stratoc sound 80% of the time - too pingy and oinky for me.
Why do I hear Barry White singing?
That’s a good sign
Ive got to know if you do 1x1 webex , zoom lesson?
Unfortunately, I don't give 1 on 1 style lessons. You may be interested in my lesson website www.workingclassguitar.com working-class-guitar.teachable.com/purchase?product_id=4024248
Leave it to UA-cam... to put an ad for a different guitar "teacher" in one of Corey's videos. duh............................................................. Just a little condescending there UA-cam. TYPICAL... but a little condescending.
That’s typically on the instructor choosing where they want their add to play. You’ll notice many of us don’t do that out of respect for others in the community
@@coreycongilio THE word......... respect. What so many lack on UA-cam!!!
