Corey has perfectly captured Albert King's style. He did a lot with just a few licks. I saw Albert perform at the FIllmore East in the early 70s. I also saw B.B. King there. I never saw Freddie King. Maybe Corey will give a B.B. King lesson sometime.

I saw Albert and BB at the Fillmore as well. Then as an adult continued following the legends at the Keystone Berkeley on the left coast. Inspiration and education with the masters.

Man I love your videos. Great job and look forward to watching more as I start this journey of learning the blues.

Excellent as usual, man! Thanks for doing these uploads!

Albert was the king, anyone wishing to learn SRV shoud start with Albert first, get all those little nuances under your fingers before going for the Albert on steriods (ie SRV). Fantastic lesson as usual Corey, so important to know what licks to play over what chords, a big thumbs up.

Great lesson Corey. I learned to play this recently but always good to steal some ideas from you. I was very lucky to see the great man live in London back in the late 1980s. Currently working on the solos in "Crosscut Saw" 🎸

Intro was so juicy brother thanks

Great lesson Corey. See that video of Stevie playing with Albert one on one? Stevie was showing so much respect by what he wasnt playing and we know Albert knew and appreciated him `being the student` for the time. What a jam that was.

I think it's possible even in more intricate chords progressions, away from the blues stile. Hugs from Brazil!!!

I am watching these with a lot of interest. I know my major and minor pentatonic, and I know CAGED, and I have an understanding of arpeggios, but as an intermediate player all those ideas are segregated from each other. How do I put them together so I can really play? Even just over the blues...does Corey offer some kind of course for that? I feel like I am stuck. Thanks!

So obviously this isn't your basic 12 bar chord progression so can somebody explain the how/why of the major 3rd chord in the progression the Bb

@coreycongilio

3 жыл бұрын

One way is to Think of the song as being in Bb major. The Bb is the 1 chord. The Gm is the 6 and the Cm is the 2. The D is the 3rd which is traditionally minor but, often times that degree is major or dominant in this kind of song. Tricky to understand if one doesn’t know about keys/diatonic chord scales etc. Hope that makes sense

The hair's charming. Leave it. dg

timming,timmin...when to start lick and when to end it..

You said to let you know what we might like to see taught - at the start you said lots of students don’t have good phrasing (I’m in that camp)... and then at the end, you put the lick over a swing progression.... but there was this little Baa-da-ba 4 chord I think... and I was like, shoot, he’s got phrasing on his freakin’ chords, I’m screwed.... could you do a video on like a G Blues, in different feels, but show this little chord embellishments that make your 1 4 5 sound awesome, and mine like G7 regular full bar chord, to the C7 regular bla chord, to the, you guessed it, D7 bla bla bla bla boring chord sounds. What can I do to make this little shifts of awesomeness? One other video you sorta comped on an A chord as well, played it all over the place in different flavors, and it sounded like a progression, but I think you actually just played A’s all over the place, that was awesome too... what can I do to vamp/comp like that? Thanks for your video’s. Cheers!
