What you need to understand about the whole Vulf "thing", is that it's really all just a sophisticated marketing ploy to sell more fonts. The funk is just a side gig.
Keeps going on about how they're so well arranged and then talks about "the other guitar player in the short shorts." Welcome to the church of Jack Stratton. :-D
oh to be a new fan and have my mind blown by every video and witness such overpowering genius and not able to identify it's source. I remember at first I couldn't even tell Woody, Jack, and Theo apart! Then you find the "Holy Trinities" videos and the old Mushy videos and the Vulf Compressor promo and it all starts to click.
I was third row center at Vulf's Madison Square Garden debut in front of Wong, he melted my face off and stapled it back on upside down. He is so beyond amazing and courteous to guests (he was geeking out watching Dave Koz and Chris Thile jam).
I saw Cory Wong with his fonk band last fall in my city. It was in a small, but packed, venue, and he played for 2 hours non-stop. The dude is a machine and while he is amazing with the Vulfpeck, you should see him with his own band, too. They are easily just as good, and I don't say that lightly.
Ah yes Joe Dart, of course the most prolific Michigan Slapping Turtle these days. Notice the characteristic elongation of the neck as the head draws in and out of the shell with the beat.
The "other guitar player" is pretty much the genius behind a lot (not all) of Vulfpeck. Behold, Jack Stratton. In his own words: "Some say polymath, some say dilettante. I specialise in everything. I get Tony Robbins results at TJ Maxx prices." It's funny but not all that surprising that people don't realize he's like the circus ringmaster. It seems he's low key like that, but seriously, I'm a huge fan of his.
Michael!! Thanks for taking a crack at my request. This totally made my morning! Sipping an iced coffee and about to get in a little practice before kicking off my day. These guys put a big smile on my face every time I listen to them and so do your videos. Stay safe and keep up the great work!
Great vid Michael! Am Australian and was put onto Vulfpeck about 1.5 years ago and they're like an addiction. So perfect so funky so musical - can't stop listening to them. Loved your little improvs over the progressions and your appreciation and breakdown of this song.
@@rockkevinrock and Russell, agreed, I love that performance. The tone is out of this world and he constantly gives the feel of 3+ players. On a youtube wormhole a while back, I think I remember Blake Mills talking about that modified guitar and I want to say there was some influence by Ry Cooder's Coodercaster.
These videos are inspiring me to learn theory. I can see how only 'learning to play songs' without understanding what's going on (for the past 35 years) has held me back so much.
Great video - love to see another musician listening and learning by ear, commenting on theory in a way that enhances understanding of song construction, and showing appreciation for the overall mix. Your pleasure and enjoyment shows!
Any one who’s been to a Cory Wong show will know what this means (comment below. Hint: Serbian folk music) Give me my chipotle Give me my chipotle I want chips I want quac Give me my chipotle ONE!
Love the videos man and definitely love Vulfpeck. Huge fan. When you first started playing I thought “that SS sounds so clean, this will be perfect” then the band played, and I thought “maybe it’s not quite clean enough but it is gonna be super close”. Then you played with them, holy hell, that Silver Sky and whatever you are plugged into sounded so dirty. Lmao. That straight in the desk sound is so different, my ear just doesn’t realize how extreme it is until they are together. Awesome video brother and I’m learning a ton from this. Thanks so much, and as always, much love from Tulsa.
Fantastic vid. Would love to see more Vulfpeck reactions...Fugue State is so tight with a super interesting interlude and the way Joe Dart brings them out of it is worth talking about by itself.
Cory and the others are all from my hometown! Such a funky band, absolutely love it. You should absolutely react to some Tom Misch, I would love to see that
The day I subscribe to GuitarGate is the day you drop some Corey Wong, and more importantly some Vulfpeck. As a bass player at heart and a guitarist by desire, Vulfpeck is as good as it gets.
9:26 that is still such a face melting bass fill from Joe Dart. I long to get the same feeling I had when I heard that for the 1st time. The stank face was absolutely unreal that day...
Somehow this came back around on my feed, which is great. And as I was listening to it, I thought (for the first time) "Steely Dan." There's a bunch of stuff in there that sounds like outtakes from a Steely Dan rehearsal. Maybe it's the electric piano. Or the sweet guitar with Corey channeling Skunk Baxter? I dunno, but I wanted to start singing "Hey 19" or something over it.
Loving your "reacts to" stuff! You've done a few of my favorite artists, Ian Thornley (Big Wreck), Corey Wong (Vulfpeck), and plenty more. I'd love to see you do a reacts to Richie Kotzen, whether with The Winery Dogs or his solo stuff...he's one of those under the radar guys that blows people away when they give him a chance, and it'd be fun to watch you break him down.
I love Vulfpeck. Killer stuff and Cory is a funk master. That bass player is killer. Cory gets a lot of props because he is the face of the band, but they all lay it down.
Well, wasn't THIS just filled with all kinda stank funk?! "Yeah, ok. I'm trackin' ya, I'm trackin'ya!" Great analysis (and lesson to those who speak guitarese) Thank you.. for the funky start to my day!
Love these videos and love Vulfpeck! What sorta notes/scales were you hitting in the solos?
Thanks!! I’m just thinking F mixolydian and mixing major and minor thirds. So F with an Eb in it, but not afraid of the Ab :)
@@Guitargate awesome thanks so much for the reply and keep up the videos I'm learning so much!!
Damn..you just went in on that!
F mixolydian or B flat major
@@Guitargate is that english?
Crazy that Corys parents named him after a Vulfpeck song!
I see you're a man of culture as well
Nice copy/paste joke...
Christian Windum that’s the Vulfpeck fanbass😎.
We also do “crazy that Joe Darts Parents named him after a bass”
@@CouchEconomyTX It helps because his parents were veterinarians so he grew up taking care of Bass.
@@ChristianW1975 nice copy paste reply!
What you need to understand about the whole Vulf "thing", is that it's really all just a sophisticated marketing ploy to sell more fonts. The funk is just a side gig.
A true Stratton Strategy
nah dude they're really just trying to end government subsidies for active basses
@@teuast and also making sure that the Ponsi scheme should be available to anyone, and not just New York's Elite. Stratton truly is one of a kind
TO BE FAIR, it IS a very funky font.
@@hackusationmagnet6400 the fonts and the vulf compressor lol
"Joe Dart, man!" That about sums it up. Dude is insane.
5:31
He is my favorite bass player!!! Absolutely crazy!!!
can't believe that joe dart's parents named him after a bass. really nice to bring an underrated instrument to the forefront.
The live version at MSG is so electric, talk about a band completely in the grove and in the pocket
That whole concert is 🔥🔥
Beastly and 1612 are my personal favorites from that concert.
What does in the pocket mean
In the back pocket ;)
@@spoocyguy it's basically similar 'like in the groove'
What an awesome random solo at 2:55. That solo was so sweet that I've become a fan
Keeps going on about how they're so well arranged and then talks about "the other guitar player in the short shorts." Welcome to the church of Jack Stratton. :-D
Jack would get a kick out of it, I bet.
That said, he's recognising the talent and level of songwriting without at all buying into the celebrity, which is cool in itself.
oh to be a new fan and have my mind blown by every video and witness such overpowering genius and not able to identify it's source. I remember at first I couldn't even tell Woody, Jack, and Theo apart! Then you find the "Holy Trinities" videos and the old Mushy videos and the Vulf Compressor promo and it all starts to click.
Jack's recent guitaring (e.g. Test Drive) has impressed the hell out of me. He's pretty entertaining just posing with one too, of course.
Your playing at 2:56 made me yell
“UGH”
That was mad funky, stankiest face I’ve made in weeks.
100%
I was third row center at Vulf's Madison Square Garden debut in front of Wong, he melted my face off and stapled it back on upside down. He is so beyond amazing and courteous to guests (he was geeking out watching Dave Koz and Chris Thile jam).
What an amazing experience. I caught them at the Red Rocks and it was amazing
I saw Cory Wong with his fonk band last fall in my city. It was in a small, but packed, venue, and he played for 2 hours non-stop. The dude is a machine and while he is amazing with the Vulfpeck, you should see him with his own band, too. They are easily just as good, and I don't say that lightly.
I'm fully jealous. Hope you got your face fixed!
@@gustafsone Petar is a monster. His dynamics are on point.
What an awesome description!!
2:55 that jam you were doing over the top sounded very tasteful.
Ah yes Joe Dart, of course the most prolific Michigan Slapping Turtle these days. Notice the characteristic elongation of the neck as the head draws in and out of the shell with the beat.
Ah yes
Lol very krekt
The "other guitar player" is pretty much the genius behind a lot (not all) of Vulfpeck. Behold, Jack Stratton. In his own words: "Some say polymath, some say dilettante. I specialise in everything.

he’s hilarious is what I says
I think he does a lot of the arrangement
Michael!! Thanks for taking a crack at my request. This totally made my morning! Sipping an iced coffee and about to get in a little practice before kicking off my day.
These guys put a big smile on my face every time I listen to them and so do your videos. Stay safe and keep up the great work!
Dude the improv you did at 2:55 definitely gets down! Love it
"Fourth position." with authority
Dude's like well shit I better switch to fourth position
“There is no fat in here” might be Jacks arrangement style but it also is his diet guidelines #djbeanornish #goodfatsonly
My man knows his salads
gotta be 'em g-bombs
Main dish, not a side dish
Minimalist funk was always the aesthetic
That first improvised solo is so delicious! Love how much you're feeling this spicy jam.
"JOE DART MAN" Couldn't have said it better myself
Great vid Michael! Am Australian and was put onto Vulfpeck about 1.5 years ago and they're like an addiction. So perfect so funky so musical - can't stop listening to them. Loved your little improvs over the progressions and your appreciation and breakdown of this song.
Would love to see you react to anything Blake Mills! He is the slide guitarist in Vulfpeck's "Rango II" !!
agreed.. in particular ruclips.net/video/YpPDFofXqsM/видео.html
Russell Moore fabulous performance
@@rockkevinrock and Russell, agreed, I love that performance. The tone is out of this world and he constantly gives the feel of 3+ players. On a youtube wormhole a while back, I think I remember Blake Mills talking about that modified guitar and I want to say there was some influence by Ry Cooder's Coodercaster.
Vulfpeck is the best funk band of 2010s
I feel like their tone sounds way to dead
And then there is Lettuce....
The Bamboos and the New Mastersounds are killing it too.
Ryan Davis came here to put another vote for Lettuce
Ghost-note >>>>>>>
These videos are inspiring me to learn theory. I can see how only 'learning to play songs' without understanding what's going on (for the past 35 years) has held me back so much.
You better watch out. Once you get pulled in by the funk, Vulfpeck will start selling you fonts and a diet plan.
Bro, seeing this man light
up in the beginning. I smiled.
There is power in the
sound of music, friends.
Great video - love to see another musician listening and learning by ear, commenting on theory in a way that enhances understanding of song construction, and showing appreciation for the overall mix. Your pleasure and enjoyment shows!
Vulfpeck is my favorite band and maybe the very best concert I went to ! I love them! Thanks for this reaction, Michael
Mike that lead you played at the beginning was brilliant!
Any one who’s been to a Cory Wong show will know what this means (comment below. Hint: Serbian folk music)
Give me my chipotle
Give me my chipotle
I want chips
I want quac
Give me my chipotle
ONE!
25/8...impossible, you say? It's possible!
Someone was taking notes during their folk music 404 class!
Great solo from you Michael. More power to you.
I love how it's Joe, Cory and "the other guitar player in the very short shorts there" 💚
i love watching someone nerd out on vulfpeck like i do
Vulfpeck is a group of all stars for sure.
Hearing your leads over a Vulf tune is a dream come true
Love the videos man and definitely love Vulfpeck. Huge fan. When you first started playing I thought “that SS sounds so clean, this will be perfect” then the band played, and I thought “maybe it’s not quite clean enough but it is gonna be super close”.

They are all killer musicians, and some of them play multiple instruments very good. This is great
Love this series Michael, Cory is one of my favorite guitarists!
Love how the like the first two minutes are him just felling the groove
i can tell you’ve been digging your silver sky as much as i have. i just got mine a month ago and it deserves all the hype, truly a unique guitar
Fantastic vid. Would love to see more Vulfpeck reactions...Fugue State is so tight with a super interesting interlude and the way Joe Dart brings them out of it is worth talking about by itself.
Haha, I love how Jack has a huge smile right when you first rip into a solo almost like it was meant to be ;)
Nice thing that you jammed with the guys through the song!
👏
👏
👏
They followed the script perfectly. Impressive
Awesome vid, but CANNOT wrap my head around hearing Jack referred to as "the other guitar player" haha!
Jack Stratton - 'the other guitar player in the very short shorts there' - is hugely involved in the whole video etc. thang
Honestly I'm a Keys player but I could listen to you review Vulf tracks like this all day. More please!
Yes! Thank you!
a beautiful solo by You and then a bass fill and then woody and I smile.
Cory and the others are all from my hometown! Such a funky band, absolutely love it. You should absolutely react to some Tom Misch, I would love to see that
I will be checking out Vulfpeck later on, for sure! Funky!!
I would also love to see Vulfpeck live one day! Amazing musicians and bring that fun party vibe. Pretty sure I'd be up late that night! 🌛/☀️
You’re not too shabby, Michael! Nice lead fills out of the gate. Impressive! 👏🏻
Thank you kindly!
Your solo addition around the three minute mark I was freaking jammin
The day I subscribe to GuitarGate is the day you drop some Corey Wong, and more importantly some Vulfpeck. As a bass player at heart and a guitarist by desire, Vulfpeck is as good as it gets.
Subscribed- Lovin it! Well played man
9:26 that is still such a face melting bass fill from Joe Dart. I long to get the same feeling I had when I heard that for the 1st time.
The stank face was absolutely unreal that day...
subscribed for more vulfpeck and cory Keep it up man!
Bro I just want to acknowledge your feel on the guitar is unreal. Stank is embedded into your playing.
Great band .. saw them with widespread and others at Sweetwater in Atlanta. Keep it up brotha
One of my favorites!
Love your videos especially when you freak out over what someone does that’s amazing especially dead videos
I'm not a guitar player, but I loved your analysis of the intricacies of this funky song!
That was a really good improvisation!
Love you dude! No one is doing what ur doing here! Keep up the good work.
How has there not been a video on Andy McKee. All of his stuff is amazing. OR Antoine Dufour. Both are amazing
The videos are bomb my man!
Somehow this came back around on my feed, which is great. And as I was listening to it, I thought (for the first time) "Steely Dan." There's a bunch of stuff in there that sounds like outtakes from a Steely Dan rehearsal. Maybe it's the electric piano. Or the sweet guitar with Corey channeling Skunk Baxter?

When u started playing over it i lost it haha. Nice
The drummer guitar player singer frontman Jack Stratton is also the president of vulf records
aka DJ Paradiddle
Love the vidéo !!
Waiting for Blackberry smoke 😂😂😂
Keep em coming big dog
Love Vulfpeck! I imagine I'd play their stuff more if I was a bassist. Darwin Derby is a lot of fun on the guitar.
word around town is his phone is still dinging
Abhimany Sharma 😂😂
sick play along. and nice guitar beautiful
Nice analysis!
wow that was some fire playing at 2:55 onwards, nice
We all need more Vulfpeck in our diet. "Get on up! Mashed Potatoes! "
Loving your "reacts to" stuff! You've done a few of my favorite artists, Ian Thornley (Big Wreck), Corey Wong (Vulfpeck), and plenty more. I'd love to see you do a reacts to Richie Kotzen, whether with The Winery Dogs or his solo stuff...he's one of those under the radar guys that blows people away when they give him a chance, and it'd be fun to watch you break him down.
Ask and you shall receive...he did one with The Winery Dogs (Fooled Around And Fell In Love), and it was great!
2:55 - 3:18 siiiccckkkkk
great stream. I'd love to hear you do some of their ofshoot band, the Fearless Flyers(Colonel Panic, Assassin, etc...). epic guitar/drum work.
Vulfpeck! So awesome. You should look in to doing a video on The Fritz...any of the songs, but "Stuck in Between" or "Another Way" would be killer.
Well go ahead and show out some damnit, good stuff bro, thanks!
Check out Corey Wong with Dirty Loops cut called Turbo (title cut). SICK!!!
Vulfpeck is an amazing band! Another amazing (but different) band is Punch Brothers!!!! Any live performance would do.... seriously - any of them!
Watching these and Adam Neely's videos fry my brain ... music is so freaking techincal :)
Then you couldn't handle Rick Beato lol
Would love to see you react to Vampire Weekend Sunflower live at Austin City Limits. They are big fans of the Grateful Dead so you might enjoy.
Cory Wong is from Minneapolis his live album from his show there should definitely be listened to
Cory Wong is amazing. Vulfpeck is an insane band love their music.
I love Vulfpeck. Killer stuff and Cory is a funk master. That bass player is killer. Cory gets a lot of props because he is the face of the band, but they all lay it down.
Never heard these guys and they sound insane! Check out JJ grey and Mofro doing “Air”
Man your soloing is groovy as hell too
Love jack stratton being called "the other guitar player" haha
Wow, what a band.
Hi, i’m a french bass player, thanks for this vidéo, Cory Wong si one of the best guitar player at this time
Well, wasn't THIS just filled with all kinda stank funk?! "Yeah, ok. I'm trackin' ya, I'm trackin'ya!" Great analysis (and lesson to those who speak guitarese) Thank you.. for the funky start to my day!
Your improv was tasty as HELL! Love the videos.
Great improvised solos!

You'd love King Gizzard from the KEXP sessions
