In my next life I wanna be like you Corey. I’m too old to do it now (70). You’re a monster guitarist, but I can tell you’re also an extremely great human being! Jim
I've been playing guitar for 35 years and am not nearly as good as Corey, but still get a huge thrill out of learning a new song or lick. There's always going to be someone better than you out there but you're never too old to enjoy the journey.

Man you know how to make an old man happy. The first sound reminded me of when I was going to college on my 1977 ford steed back in the 85's. Most of the times I watch your videos I feel that good thing that only the emotion of music with feeling can cause. Keep going and thank you.
Corey just got my SE SilverSky in moon yellow! Thanks so much for the video, it will help me get the tone I want. Love your blues courses, have bought all of them. Thanks for your Channel and all your great courses, they are my go too!
Fantastic demo. Easily one of the best "S" type guitars offered by any manufacturer at any price. Thanks for all the excellent advice. BTW, I'm always a bit amused by how much I've spent on guitars and then how much research I've done to alter their tone.
What make this great is that you are getting killer tone with obtainable gear! Best SS SE review ever. BTW I have has Strats with no tone control on the neck and it worked great.
I just got one ,all they had was the dragon fruit color. I’m loving the guitar, been wanting one for months. Great pick ups and tone I’m 71 still playing. Just really like the guitar. Great demo and tips. Appreciate it. Not crazy about the dragon fruit color but I’m getting used to it.
You're a seriously smokin' guitarist Corey! I first saw you in your "Let's use 13th Chords in Blues Rhythm Guitar Playing" and have found a lot of you videos really inspiring and educational. Thinking about a Silver Sky SE. I've owned some Core PRS, and my #1 is a Singlecut 594.
Great playing great demo. I have a Strat with Texas specials and with work I can get close to those sound. You tips were awesome. I also have a PRS silver sky se same color..dragonfruit. I never considered working to play SVR type blues on it.anyway thanks for a different review devoid of distortion, metal gymnastics and JM covers we all learned something
Yep some people get hung up too much on gear. Don't get me wrong I love new gear but most tone is in the players hands. An experienced player can sound great on almost anything
Really enjoyed your playing; your feel is impressive. Regarding the PRS SE, I placed my order for the Moon White version. Sweetwater rep says October 2022. Your demo makes it hard to wait !
Dangit, Corey......you are quite a gifted player! Always inspired by your talent! The tones you get outta that PRS are GREAT, but I think your fingers have more to do with that!
@CoreyCongilio, would love to hear how this guitar sounds in the vein of Pink Floyd, etc. Thanks for taking the time to do this one right, and I'd agree that for a lot of what you played, the #2/#4 positions sound awesome and can easily be go-to's on their own merits. Be well.
Great demo! Very informational! Im curretly deciding between a SE Silver Sky or a Fender Player Strat. Im looking to play Blues (SRV type style) and I'm looking for some nice clean tones. Which one do you think I should get for that? Does the Silver Skye handle a bit more gain a bit better than the PLayer Strat? Thanks for the video!
Corey! Good stuff man. Question: Did Fender make the Blues Jr in "Black" Western tolex? I can't seem to locate one. The tones are awesome. Thanks for sharing! JB
Great content as always Corey! I had the impression that you treated the Volume knob on the Blues Jr as a volume and not as a gain control... I'm I wrong? I got your Blues Guitar by Yourself course and it's killer! Highly recomended to everyone!
The blues jr is pretty versatile in that you can use the volume and master in tandem to get great tones at all volumes. I have a video on the amp coming out next week!
Aka: "Hi, I'm Corey Congilio and this is how to casually annihilate most blues players with a budget rig." 😂 See also: "Hi, I'm Corey Congilio and you don't need expensive, unicorn gear to get SRV/Hendrix tones, it's mostly how you play." 💥See also: "Hi, I'm Corey Congilio and if you practice enough, you'll realize you can save a lot of money and still get the tones you seek."😏 You are a mighty man with a git-tar! 🥳🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great original lesson ! On a personal level i'd love you to explain in detail the oxbox and how it works, everything that's in the circuit and how it's connected etc. i see lot's of people using one but just how does it fit in with the rest of the gear ?
Hi Corey, great video. You mention at about 8:57 that you're using the Ox Box to keep the volume down. Can you clarify exactly how you do that, since the Blues Junior doesn't have an effects loop or signal out? (at least mine doesn't!). Thanks
I disconnected the speaker and run a speaker cable directly to the Ox. You could come back out of the OX and reconnect the speaker and use the attenuator also. You’re hearing the direct amp to OX sound that goes into my computer
my brother went down to texas one time, and jammed with some mexicans on acoustic guitars, and he said those guys can literally make their guitars talk!
Saw a string broke while playing and another reviewer on the silver sky se had the same issue… the guy talked about a sharp saddle… what that just digging hard or a potential build issue with that guitar ? Fantastic playing by the way… I use your top notch courses on TrueFire !
Hi Corey, I think you just sold this guitar to a few thousands. Do you have any videos on that rhythm playing style ala SRV?(3:40) I love that type of sound but always struggled to achieve it. You are a fantastic player man, thank you !

@@coreycongilio sure....thinking about a Gold top at the mo though...:-)...had to laugh when you broke the string...haha...you really were on fire today... love it...carry on....
yeah looks like good guitar Corey. The big issue though is why would anyone choose this PRS Strat copy over an MiM Fender.....or any other Strat copy ??
Yes and tone wise I think they are different enough to have both if you prefer both options. The delicacy, focus, different variety and beauty of the SS tone and the embellishments, bright shimmers, wildness and distinct vibe of the fender strat 🙌🏼❤️

I Always hang in the 2 position on S types. It's just my fave blend. Sick vid Corey!
Hands down the best Silver Sky SE demo, even better than Mayer‘s 🙈
Haha, awesome thanks!
In my next life I wanna be like you Corey. I’m too old to do it now (70). You’re a monster guitarist, but I can tell you’re also an extremely great human being! Jim
That very kind of you! I’d like to be both but, the latter is most important 🙏🏻
I'm 41 and I feel the same.
It is never late enough to try !

It’s more of a light pastel yellow!
@@garyhunter2013 awesome! Thank you ❤️
Thx so much, Gary!
How did you get it? The Silver Sky SE?
Fantastic demo. Easily one of the best "S" type guitars offered by any manufacturer at any price. Thanks for all the excellent advice. BTW, I'm always a bit amused by how much I've spent on guitars and then how much research I've done to alter their tone.

BTW I have has Strats with no tone control on the neck and it worked great.
Sounds fantastic!! That neck pickup is so full and sparkly. Amazing!!
Sounds great Corey! I am gonna save up and get a PRS SE Silver Sky by summer for sure! Thanks!!
I was just thinking about ordering one but they are sold out everywhere! I'll probably be waiting for summer too 😂
By far the best SS SE review. Subscribed for obvious reasons.. 😊
Hey thx!
Professor Longhair!!!!
I miss going right to Tipatinas after work and spending all my money.....thanks for bringing back some great memories Corey!!!!
Ha! Saturday morning coffee with CC! Mornin’ Corey! Thanks for what you do! Texas Blues - Can’t Go Wrong! Love It! 👍🎸✌️😎
Yes sir! Great demo, thanks for bringing the SS to life.

Great playing as always Corey, and slide too! C'mon that's not fair, stop being so good at everything 😉
Ha! I gotta get better at slide
Great video. I really like the demonstration of the tones and watching you play is always fun, you are very enthusiastic.❤️
Thx!!
Delicious chocolaty tones!
that was such a fantastic tone - great playing, thank you for the video!
Best review of the silver sky on youtube!
Thanks, Jimmy!
Part demo, part lesson, great video.
Fantastic demo and tones as always! Really awesome stuff.
Great review , bluesy musical , the SE sounds wonderful, I bet it feels good to play . Nice demo it’s a pleasure to hear what this SE has to offer .
Glad you enjoyed it! It's a really nice guitar for the money!
Ace vid of the SE Silver Sky, Fender amps always a winner!
Thx!
Fabulous Corey. Never heard the Silver Sky ( Core or SE ) sound so good !
They’re actually really nice!
Funky Blues was awesome Corey, great demo and great info.
Thx and glad you enjoyed!
The slide is fantastic. Great Playing all around!
Thanks a lot!
Great tone and technique...as usual Cory...I've tried to do that SRV Texas shuffle ...but just can't nail it...so frustrating 😡
Well... It really doesn't matter what guitar Corey plays, he always sounds great!
Yep some people get hung up too much on gear. Don't get me wrong I love new gear but most tone is in the players hands. An experienced player can sound great on almost anything
Killer tone
That playing is so sweet man! Really enjoyed watching you play on this vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Appreciate that!
Man there were some killer licks in there Corey… I need to work some of those our.
Thanks, Chris
Probably the one video that conviced me after a lot of others to buy one 😅
And maybe a blues junior too !! Damn ! 😂
Thank you for the tones!
My pleasure!
I'm not a strat fun but SE is amazing - and the price is good
It's a amazing.
Thank you very much.
I like that one it’s got the Everness green finish on it
l LOVE YOUR PLAYING COREY. YOU'RE AN AMAZING GUITARIST!

GREAT JAMS Corey!!!!!!
got one on preorder. cant wait. Now I gotta get to learnin better stuff! thank you for great video.
Nice! Well I can help with that a bit here on the channel and elsewhere! Enjoy the guitar!
Dangit, Corey......you are quite a gifted player! Always inspired by your talent! The tones you get outta that PRS are GREAT, but I think your fingers have more to do with that!
ah, appreciate that!
Grande , troppo bravo . Complimenti
Chit I like that, gonna grab that tab!
Just tracks for this one unfortunately.
@@coreycongilio understood, I figured out what you did, clever!
Nice jammin man 👍
Thanks!
Wonderful videos! I need to work on all that. I also need to work on making the right kind of cool faces too.
Just discovered your CZcams channel. I like the content and the way you explain things
Thx so much!
Great video! I learned a lot of things from it today.Thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great playing Corey
thx!
Wow, great playing!
Thx!
Great video on this guitar. Been on the fence about getting one. BTW great t shirt! Love fivewattworld
Hey, thanks!
Incredibly helpful
I'm glad!
Sounds like a strat should sound. Nice playing too.
Love it Corey! Thanks for the content brotha!

Thanks! The one in my video is a Sweetwater edition that Fender did. Here's a link Fender Blues Jr
imp.i114863.net/bluesjrsw
Amazing video!!! So nice!!! Amazing tone! Where i can find the Tablature? I just take the backing track. Thanks
Hey , amazing playing but do u think there would be a big difference in a blues jr with a Jensen speaker with these tones??
The jensen would break up sooner for sure
Great content as always Corey! I had the impression that you treated the Volume knob on the Blues Jr as a volume and not as a gain control... I'm I wrong? I got your Blues Guitar by Yourself course and it's killer! Highly recomended to everyone!

Going to have to add this to my SE collection, but not yet, just got a Sire Larry Carlton S7 recently. Maybe not in that girls colour though 🤣
Another great video! Could you tell me what chord are you playing at 2:31?
would love some tab on your SRV tone at the beginning on the neck pick up!
You are one badass guitar player
thank you kindly!
They're gonna sell a million of these things.
Great original lesson ! On a personal level i'd love you to explain in detail the oxbox and how it works, everything that's in the circuit and how it's connected etc. i see lot's of people using one but just how does it fit in with the rest of the gear ?
Thx! Check out this video and see if it answers some questions. Thanks again! czcams.com/video/SSKQ7lgcFuA/video.html
There is enough cool subtle stuff in this vid to keep me busy for six months…..
Haha nice!
Teach us how to play slide on standard tuning (not blues, hoopefully), please! That was very inspiring playing, Corey.
As soon as I learn!
Great playing, I see so many pro and cons on this guitar. Seems like you love it or hate it.
thx! I think it's a fine guitar for the money!

Awesome great music song rock
Alota tone bro !
Oh damn. I’m learning from you on TrueFire! You’re older now! 🤯
Time flies! Thx so much
dayum! and i thought gregg kotch was good!
youd make any guitar sound great!
spanish players have perfected their art thru centuries of playing.
Ha! Appreciate that!
my brother went down to texas one time, and jammed with some mexicans on acoustic guitars, and he said those guys can literally make their guitars talk!
Corey could make a dumpster with strings sound amazing
ha, appreciate that.
Saw a string broke while playing and another reviewer on the silver sky se had the same issue… the guy talked about a sharp saddle… what that just digging hard or a potential build issue with that guitar ? Fantastic playing by the way… I use your top notch courses on TrueFire !
I think it was a faulty string not the saddle.
What about that neck joint? For an expensive guitar it’s more appropriate a one piece maple neck!

How do you incorporate your UA OX box for quite playing in your home? I live in a apartment and want to crank my Blues Jr up a bit more...
You can use it as an attenuator or, run the outputs to studio monitors. I think I'm gonna have to make a video on my set up!
Can anyone help me with the 3 descending chords played around 2:14 - 2:15? Obviously some form of C down to B flat, but can't quite pick out the notes
Wow Coey....you snappy on form today....!!...:-)..sounds great.....not so sure about the colour of the SE.....:-)
Thx! Yeah the colors are not for everyone but, pretty solid guitar overall
@@coreycongilio sure....thinking about a Gold top at the mo though...:-)...had to laugh when you broke the string...haha...you really were on fire today...
love it...carry on....
yeah looks like good guitar Corey. The big issue though is why would anyone choose this PRS Strat copy over an MiM Fender.....or any other Strat copy ??
Suppose that’s a question for the folks that have already purchased or are thinking about it!
Personally, there’s not a modern Fender aside from Custom Shop models that Id play. The necks on SS’s are closer to what I prefer.
Yes and tone wise I think they are different enough to have both if you prefer both options. The delicacy, focus, different variety and beauty of the SS tone and the embellishments, bright shimmers, wildness and distinct vibe of the fender strat 🙌🏼❤️
@@phoenixjordan7784 Just 1 single coil Strat type guitar is enough for me. I don't double up on same same :)
Is it normal for the string height to be high on the SE?
I think they're set up for medium action
Kind of had Ariel Posen's slide tone
i’m buyin the amp i think 💀
Yeah, but can it do Gilmour?
I sure hope so!
half way, cant stand it, you gave me amp envy :)
What a tone Corey, I kinda lost interest with the guitar, I’m all focus on your awesome playing as always.
