  • Hey, what’s happenin’ people?!!! For Cory Wong, who kicks off episodes of his Wong Notes podcast with that question, the answer is he’s currently deep into an international tour-while still recording new episodes, writing music, and producing. But that didn’t stop the prodigious, prolific picker from taking the time during a recent stop at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl to guide us through his rig. By the way, the new season of Wong Notes begins March 9 with a big-deal guest, so stay tuned.

      @@Otis-Isom nobody is denying that Cory is on another level compared to basically everybody here, but guitar players still believe a lot of stuff. Hell, even guitar builders who are intimately familiar with how wood works still believe a lot of stuff that isn't physically possible.

      @Otis-Isom 2 года назад +7

      @@ileutur6863 I think it’s fair to say that the actual transient is probably imperceptibility different but the way the body resonates and how the note feels to play may be different leading to the effect he discusses. If the note feels different it’s played differently. The extent to which it’s different is debatable and I tend to heir on the side of caution when it comes to marketing and mystique but I could definitely see there being a feel thing for Cory.
