Kenni is amazing wow. The sax making different animal sounds has got me thinking that maybe all Colin Stetson's music is just him trying to imitate the sound of some elder god monstrosity only he can hear.
Sax's can sound like almost anything. Wish I still played it. But look up saxophone orchestras. I've seen some big ones and they sound almost the same as a regular orchestra. At times I could swear I was hearing other woodwinds, brass, and even strings. Sax is really one of the most versatile instruments
Were you talking about Heist or the actual closing of the episode??? Heist was great. The song that Cory briefly alludes to is "Simon F15" by the Fearless Flyers. The song at the VERY end is the same motif "FE D, FE FF ED (D up and octave) FE D, FE CC BBb" with Kenni taking a solo. So either you really like Heist or you should check out Simon F15
I love how Cory randomly plays bass on some tracks. It's like he's should be in a band with a group of guys who play different instruments each song 😉😉😉
First of all we need to know what a tritone is: it's the sharp fourth or flat fifth degree in a scale. Now, a secondary dominant is the dominant of the scale's dominant. In C Major, for example, the dominant is G and it's dominant is D. So D is the secondary dominant here. On a simple ii-V-I chord progression, in C Major, we would have Dmin-G-Cmaj using the Tritone Substitution For Secondary Dominants we would substitute the D for it's tritone, which would be Ab (it's flat fifth), leaving us with the progression Ab-G-Cmaj And the reason we would do that is for that extra spiciness.
Not only a great guitarist, composer l, and arranger but a world class SHOWMAN. Love Cory’s sense of humor and also his obvious deep respect for all of his band mates. A class act!
i feel like people dont talk about this enough. he had to develop a whole new skillset to play the instrument upside down and i wish he would dive into it a little more
If you didn't know Kenni Holmen before this interview you absolutely have to check out the group "Hornheads"! They used to play on Prince albums and their own stuff is outstanding. I have never heard such a tight group of brass players playing without rhythmic instruments. Kenni Holmen's solo on "Isn't She Lovely" is out of this world!
Cory's bass tone is🔥🔥🔥 He plays so lightly but it comes out so punchy, I need some explanation for that shit! There has to be more to it than just some compression pedal/unit
Kenni just showed us all of that on sax and then right after it he rips a devastating flute solo
check out the Cory Wong Live in Minneapolis concert video, at one point he shows up with a piccolo and everybody loses their minds
Not taking anything away from the guy, but the two instruments share the same fingering for their valves which makes things somewhat easier.
@@pete3816 May may be similar. But actually playing the two instruments are very different to actually play.

I just wanted to learn about tritone substitutions for secondary dominants :(
The household 9-year-old thought it was pretty funny. (But also wanted to watch some original Attenborough afterwards.)

Honestly slightly disappointed I didn't get a review of tritone substitutions for secondary dominants.
How do I support Cory Wong and the Wongnotes beyond a thumbs up and subscribe? I just don't want them to ever go away. . .
Cory has a merch store I think it’s linked in his bio
This is a also in support of the album which you can buy. Cory Also has a Bandcamp page with pretty much all of his previous albums.
@@sustinance9557 Good shout. Just brought a Teee!!! Now to wait for 3 months for it to ship to NZ.......!!
I found a new religion. I’m an Holmenite now.
Incredibly talented people. Incredible show. Deserves 10x more views 🔥
À quand le show de variété de pvnova ?
Tu sais que plus au début je croyais qu'elle guitariste de vulpeck était toi? X
Si de loin ya une belle ressemblance quand même
Ah t'es là toi !
Jazz theory teachers: WE CAN MAKE IT FUUUN
A show where the presenter holds a Strat and has a big band behind is my type of show! 🙌
Did anyone else low key actually want to hear Cory’s take on Tritone subs for secondary dominants? …no? Okay, yeah me either.
i got way too excited for a theory lesson lmaoo
Same
Ditto
Yes - I feel totally let down now. My first negative Cory experience...
yup..
13:01 guy on the top left. This face is the greatest compliment a musician can receive.
Jon lampley for ya
Kenny Holman is just everything i aspire to be. What a sound
just practice 8 hours a day for 4 years straight like he did and you might just get there.
But can we talk about the substitutions tho? I know Cory can nerd out on that for an hour and I’m 100% here for it.
12:01 The way Jon just palmed that mute and kept playing
and here I thought only guitarists could palm mute haha
Did you see his stank face during Kenni's flute solo? This guy gets it!
this whole series has been a feel good vibe from start to finish
Outstanding...!
Kenni's chops are insane!!
Let's be honest. This is the episode we've all been waiting for!
Yeah, Cory eased in a comment that the Stevie Wonder Medley is on this episode
Yeah Kyle Gass is Amazing
Oh My Goodness...This was my fav episode thus far. Thanks to everyone involved...
Kenni is amazing wow. The sax making different animal sounds has got me thinking that maybe all Colin Stetson's music is just him trying to imitate the sound of some elder god monstrosity only he can hear.
Kenni Holmen is from another planet! Wow
What amazing video production
11:18 Kenni is out here quoting St Thomas, he really is a tenor player
HAha
I have never heard a sax make sounds like that before.
my mouth was hanging open when Kenni started playing in the interview
Crikey, Kenni is not just an animal, he's a BEAST. Don't think I've ever heard slap tongue before - such a cool texture!
Also, Jon Lampley's 'digging someone's solo' face is a highlight throughout this whole series.
Check the back row "stank face" during Kenni's flute solo...worth the sub right there.
really lovin all the episodes, hope you will make more like this in the future as well.
Man, those horns... I'm in love. ❤️
I've never been so pleasantly trolled in my whole life!
Fun fact : the saxophone was invented in Belgium. The guy who invented it used to be on the 200 belgian franc banknote before the euro.
What did I just stumble on to? Amazing.
I have never heard brass sound like a string, Kenny is an animal!

@@TomMilleyMusic Wow will do, thanks! I think Moonhooch had the wildest sax I ever heard before this.
..I still haven't,..but those are some neat sounds in their own way.
Actually, sax is not part of the brass instrument family, it is a wood(wind) instrument, despite the material its body is made of.
@@tomaszetek2095 yeah! Um... actually!
spectacular saxophonist
Great series! Looking forward to the new material, cheers!
thanku!
That closing tune is amazing

Muso’s from around the world: Can’t wait to hear some sick playing.
Cory: So can we hear a seagull sound?!
hahahahahaha
Was that a St. Thomas quote on the end of Kenni's interview? He's my new hero.
Yes I heard that too!
Best medicine for anything, this show!
Endlessly fun, and my god, Kenni Holman!
Love Cory’s shows! 👍👍👍
Super show guys!
ON THE ONE !
Man, the lion is SIIICCCKKK!! Kenny definitely has perfect pitch! 😄
I've enjoyed every single episode, but Kenny making animal noises on sax takes the prize for my favourite. Cory, please don't stop.
Awesome!
Kenni has the loudest buttons in the game.
I love how Cory randomly plays bass on some tracks. It's like he's should be in a band with a group of guys who play different instruments each song 😉😉😉
Like Vulpeck?
@@sdelasnerie1 something like that lol
Get you someone who looks at you the way Corey Wong looks at everything.
That's exactly the topic I've been waiting for years to see a YT video about - and finding it just on this channel is a dream come true!
Kenni was already my favorite on the show and this ep just solidifies it even more haha great bait and switch and ep in general
This is awesome, loved it all!
That flute solo is wonderful
These episodes always put a huge smile on my face.
PLEASE do more of this ...!!!
Does anyone else watching this feel like "shit this feels like it was made just for me 😳". Sup weirdos. You are not alone 🙌🏻
Love and Respect, Cory! Thank you for the MUSIC!!! Hugs from Bulgaria!
Heard "Heist" on the show's album and loved it. Glad to see it appear in such a memorable episode.
I love the amount of energy there is in this show!
Kenni's high note tickeled the inside of my brain
This show is so underrated man
This show has fantastic production value. How the f*ck does Cory afford it!?
That's what I was wondering; it's awesome!
Indeed!!! Wondering the same.
Wow never heard a sax sound like that before. So much talent in this band it’s freakin sick!
He's such a beast !
dude i swear your channel is the greatest. fresh entertaining content and great lessons
the cinematography on this is insane. great job cory and crew!
This is just beyond fantastic. Thank you!
BEASTS! All of you! You make me so happy! Somebody said it already, but I'll second it: I don't want this band to ever end!

It just gets better and better. I cant wait for the new video!@!@@
Your skits are just TOO good.
This is my favorite thing to come out in 2021.
This is the kind of content I signed up to YT for!
Everything about that show is amazing! Hats off!
Awesome saxophonist! One of a kind! 😁
Thank you so much for the show !! This is amazing. Every week.
Not only a great guitarist, composer l, and arranger but a world class SHOWMAN. Love Cory’s sense of humor and also his obvious deep respect for all of his band mates. A class act!
Flute is a criminally underappreciated instrument for funk.
Highly entertaining episode! I especially enjoyed seeing Kenni get a turn in the spotlight. He IS the man!
that classic bend up to the altissimo 11:08 just knew that was coming.
As always, every episode amazing
We need more Cory and the Wongnotes with the Tom Misch and the Vulf crew!!
DEAR LORD! Is Sonny playing a righty as a lefty!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!???!
He just secured his place in heaven....or hell...
Either way, Bravo!
i feel like people dont talk about this enough. he had to develop a whole new skillset to play the instrument upside down and i wish he would dive into it a little more
not the episode we deserved, but the episode we needed
Hahaha yes
Wow where has this guy been all my life!?? Has he written any musical methods?? Teaching videos?

Dude Kenni came in HOT on that flute
Show felt like an acid trip
oh my god I love this show so much
Cory: " Kenni Holmen is a animal!!"
Kenni's Sax: " Yep"
🤷♂️
i been practicing his solo on Headin Down To Bunkers with whistling, i really want him an Cory to hear it
The animal doc portion was pure genius
That was fucking incredible. I feel like I just watched music theory Sesame Street for for 35 year old rock guitarists stuck in their bedrooms. Hi.
Damn. I wish I have a quarter of Cory's charisma. He makes everything he plays just so full of life.
man, i love this show..
freshly creative!
It don't get much better then this!
Yupp greatness here 💯💯 enjoyed every second
That half-time at the end was a treat!
I loooooooooove this show!
