Hey thx! That’s the plan!

Another great lesson Corey! Keep them coming. Maybe you're right that not all lessons are for everyone. However I think you're doing a great job taking people beyond pentatonic and autopilot licks and getting us to start thinking about arpeggios, changes, note choice, and how they all tie together. I think there are tons of players (like me) stuck in a rut and your content is perfect for breaking us out. Thanks for the great content, we appreciate you.

The secret really is to make them sound "natural". That's why I've just never personally liked all the shred type stuff where it's just sweep arpeggio after sweep arpeggio. I think arpeggios are best when they're like ninjas and just sneak in and sneak out. Just my personal opinion though.

Dang straight. I recently discovered this arpeggio; since I’ve become a chord tone chaser. You can’t go wrong when you find a good Dorian sounding arpeggio. I also like to play third position D pentatonic when in G. All this stuff goes together. Possibilities are endless!

Awesome playing Corey, great ideas too! I use this idea more over m7 chords, ie playing say an Em over an Am7 gives me the minor9 sound...it sounds particularly cool sliding into the 9 as the last note of the arpeggio.

@coreycongilio

3 жыл бұрын

Lovely use of that m7 arpeggio which I use all the time but never in this context..... it kind of introduces you to the sound of moving between the 1st and the 4th using the Half Tone Whole Tone Diminished scale without actually learning or using that scale.... great stuff man.... just goes to show.... beginner or advanced there is always something to learn.

This a typical g minor Dorian chord progression. You can operate within the pentatonics of the chords, and the perspective g minor/f major key scales. All of those pentatonics exist within. That’s very important to understand. It’s all connected.

Hey Corey, thanks again for your input, very helpful! An idea for future mp3‘s from you: Could you put your solo on either left or right channel. With that one could pan in and out your solo. I use - amongst others - the app ‚Anytune‘. With it one can alter an mp3 in various ways including panning. Jürgen

Great stuff as always, Corey! To quote Mickey Baker (Part One, Lesson 1): " We have to limit ourselves to the most important chords, because, as you know, there are so many meaningless chords for guitar...." Now that would be a great title for a KZread lesson. Meaningless Chords for Guitar. "Never, ever play something like this!"

so safe to say...play the minor 7th arp based on the fifth of the I chord or just the minor 7th arp of the V chord....thats how I think of things on the fly.

It’s based on chord substitution so, maybe try to think that you can sub a m7 for a dominant 7 chord. I actually mention that in the first part of the lesson. That way it’s like learning 2 things in one lesson!

How about a A min 7 as well? I’ll have to try it.

Hey Corey great lesson. Couldn’t you use the Dmaj7 arpeggio also over the G7 Chord where your talking about or is that only if your playing Gminor7 as the 1 chord instead of G7?

I’m guessing it’d be possible to use the substitution idea over the IV and V as well. Maybe the effect would be more jarring on the account of more notes not in the main scale? I’ll check the scales later and see. Cool idea.

The bottom line is that it's fun to play all the wrong notes at all the right times. It's always minor 7 type arpeggios that always sound great over blues to me. "Musical" but still soulful sounding.
