I just lost like 20 picks.
😂😂 better than losing 5 fingernails though
hahaha..best!
Haha, so funny
Maybe I'm just high, but I laughed SO HARD at this one. 10/10
Some by breaking them, some by letting them just fly right off your fingers
One of my favourite players, but the 'frantic' mode he's best known for is not my favourite style of his. I love the runs of 'double-stops' he does!
Aunt Leslie (Vulf) has some amazing double stoppage, love itttt
@@natebanks Exactly!
When I watch and listen to him, I can't help think of Stephen Shockley from Lakeside or Prince 😎
That being said
Dude you are super funky..i would love to put some funk on your funk..
His hand looks like he's spinning a string with a ball on the end lol what a beast
That right hand is flipping as though it has no bones😂😂😂
Nile Rodgers❤️
My favorite part : 9:18
Sir Cory Wong, what pick gauge do you use for rhythm/lead playing? .73/.88/1.00/1.15mm? Medium/Heavy?Thanks
It’s crazy to think that he’s named after a vulfpeck song
it was meant to be
@@tejhaba2471 wooosshhhh
That's the joke they tell on stage.. don't you pretend you're a genius ;-)
fcukSTi that wasn’t a woosh
every video...
Never have I been more jealous of a man who dresses like a mime and has a wrist like a weed eater.
🤣
Golden lol
And what’s wrong with his hairstyle? It’s not long
Hahahaha dude
Nice one.
It’s crazy because this kind of guitar playing sounds like shit when 95% of guitar players do it. You gotta have perfect time and articulation. He sounds amazing
Lmao truee
@AutomobileFunk that's lazy. All great players have good timing, and no band wants a guitarist that can't hold a groove.
@AutomobileFunk not even accurate. He is a highly refined player with impeccable timing and rhythm. He sounds "perfect" because is excellent and what he does.
People hate on Cory because he's not a soloist. But he's a great player. He is someone you would actually want in your band, because he will elevate the sound of the band
@@sonsauvage people hate on him because he aont solo lol solos came from from word soul and he definitely hits it with soul his picking of individual strings is so on point that he could solo if he wanted no prob
13 people got carpal tunnel just watching the video
I have RSI and have been practicing the relaxed right hand engine thing. It actually helps a lot in relieving pain, seems to me if you're doing it right you're moving all your forearm and not just the weaker precision movement muscles, which usually are the ones to get injured.
lmaooooo
I cant play that! I Have Bones, not cartilago wrist :/

@@jackdellad4602 RIP
This guy is definitely one of the top 16th note players in his age bracket
Bruh what?
that's pretty generous, given how you did not filter for geography and genre. (also, you should know you're a philosopher and a pimp for your flawless comment)
Neal Sanger he’s good at playing fast

What a boring and weird way to think about music...
Edit: 😂
wow, I have one common point with his playing : when I practice with a metronome on my knee, it falls on the floor.
OK you've one part of the technique. Next get a navy striped shirt, then when you've mastered that get white pants. You'll be playing like Corey Wong in no time!
I used to put my rotary phone on one knee and my ticker-clicker metronome on the other but since the invention of iphone I lost my balance
Buy a real metronome and a table XD
Alternate title: "Cory Wong tells you to use a goddamn metronome"
scientists said perpetual motion wasn’t possible, they clearly haven’t seen cory wong’s right hand
This is one of the best funk guitar lessons I've ever seen on RUclips. I owe you money Cory. Thank you so much for taking the time to seriously teach funk this detailed. You rock man!
@@Iamgavrilo What's plastic about this? They seem to be covering similar stuff, just one has VHS grain and is way longer and one is a 15 minute video for a guitar channel lol
@@Iamgavrilo of course not, I saved the lesson you mentioned as despite the hilariously aged aesthetics, it seems really informative and the guy can clearly play. There's a little bit of difference in how they sound but neither of them lack in the funk department, and I doubt Ross would have any issues with Cory's playing if he were alive today. Just seems pointless to snipe is all :)
You do owe him money, and it’s time to collect, pal. I know where you live. 6:00 PM today, leave it on your porch, or else.
Netflix: Are you still there?
Someones daughter: 5:44
Aw thank God, maybe you can help me. My donut has been acting up all week. I've tried everything. Any tips?
This is the comment of 2020
COTY comment of the year
dude i died
Hahahaha
Always trust the dude with duct tape on his guitar 🙏
Fascinating and very well demonstrated and explained.....he is a quality player for sure
P^w
Cory learned to play the most low volume funk possible at mime school.
My computer doesn't have the frames to see his hand lol
A very eloquent and intelligent explanation on ‘groove’. When I play bass I have a tendency to play a little ahead of the beat, and a drummer I used to work with had the laziest behind-the-beat snare I’ve ever heard. But when we played together it was like we were joined at the hip and thinking as one. Groove is so much more important than pure military timing.
It only works when it‘s 100% aware
Waiting for the Fender Cory Wong Artist Signature Stratocaster
Please
i think he don't need one, since what make his signature sound is mostly his techniques. Sure he also known for using that "4th position" to get some certain voicing, but again, he just stated that he can even play across genres, with his technique they will still sound like him.
Azrel Qaib admittedly that’s true for just about every guitarist. Outside of a few that have weird specifications, signatures are also basically just cool versions of that guitar. I’d buy it in a heartbeat probably
Cory Wong on the Cory Wong
No bridge pickup
I love this for so many reasons, but I love how he has made a virtue of, and can communicate, the value of modern production and recording
when i try to do this on my strat i keep turning down my volume and changing pickups
I love strats but the volume knob placement is cruel
i just saw Paul Davis video saying dat lul
you can get your hands a bit closer to the neck so they hit the other empty part of the pickguard but its bit hard to get used to... it works for me tho goodluck btw!!
You know a guitar is not relic’d when you see gaffers tape on one of the horns. That’s just a guitar life well lived.
Awesome tips!
Sadface if Fender Custom Shop comes out with a duct taped Cory Wong signature model...
@@SvenElven boy do we have a guitar for you lmao
i never get the point why buy a reliced instrument, play it 20 years and its "real" XD
Plot twist: he is a cyborg with ADHD
This made me laugh
3:34 - 4:00 I was really caught off guard to hear him "cross genres" and play the chords that a lot of guitarists learn as beginners. He didn't refer to it as something "basic" or beneath him, but as another medium through which he can employ his technique. I'd prefer to hear him play funk any day, but it was cool to watch him embrace something different and common for a moment in order to make his point and really make it his own.
What was that chord progression he did?
@@Chris-qk1np The first one was a "1 4" progression (in this case G and (Cadd9)). The second one was sort of like a "1 2 3 4 5 4" progression (in E) but he was padding the low E string the whole time and playing very open chords on top which is not uncommon to stumble upon in singer/songwriter circles (like Justin Nozuka's "My Heart is Yours" and "All I Need" or Ernie Halter's "Whisper"). Feel free to hit me up on IG @santicmusic if I can help break it down more there!
@@SantiCmusic Awesome. Thanks!!
@@Chris-qk1np what was it ?
@@marcosaenz4719 G and Cadd9, repeated
09:20 "I lost ballance, but kept the Time"
Cory grooves so hard the metronome couldn't handle it
The Metronome: "So, Cory is more exact than me...Have to go now, see ya soon..."
what's that harry potter spell that removes your bones?
I hate that I know the answer to this.
Harry Potter and the people who should've read another book by now.
He’s actually hitting the strings every times. Each 16th note. He means when he wants to not mute.
Yeee
Later on he also does some where he's not hitting the note. It's sort of both.
No shit
Guy is amazing. Sounds easy to do, but there's a reason the producers call him, and not me.
Some people say that 16th note motor isn't versatile. YOU'RE NOT VERSATILE!
Ikr. But my bass is. I've got the versatility knob on 11.
that's impossible
No more government subsidies for people who don't believe in the 16th note motor
What is it controlling?
Do the same with the compressor off. Genuinely wanna know how it sounds. Id think itd be pretty friggin consistent. Still would love to hear it for reference.
He's actually done so in several videos. Shows him playing with and without the compressor. It def adds something to his tone but he's without a doubt the type of player where the tone is in his hands.
Same :)
Cleans need a compressor, especially funk. I’m sure it sounds decent but not as good at all
Nah, it’s not the compressor doing that, it’s him and that all important position 4 strat sound.
I always undrestood the importance of having that 16th note motor going but that huge range of motion that Cory employs really opened my eyes in terms of how that can affect your tone - I'm guessing mainly because of the attack and the chords/strings getting hit in quick unison.. Thx Cory, you rock (I mean funk) !!
‘lost balance but kept time’ sounds like some kind of life lesson that I don’t understand yet
This is one of the best explained practical advice from a genius whos heart feels music. It's such a hard balance, expressing such an abstract thing in a way I can concretely take tips from. Thanks for this and serious props.
Yep. No BS intended for people who know enough to listen.
His slow 120 bpm was like right on 120 bpm haha
Right I noticed the same thing lol
As soon as he starts playing with the metronome, you hear the metronome grooving WITH him like what Carol Kaye describes. What a monster player.
i also highly condone practicing with very simple drum loops/beats the same way you'd practice with a metronome (although I am a bassist ;-)
I've been trying to explore funk while practicing after I learned The Crunge and now play it all the time because it's just so much fun. I'd love to incorporate funk into whatever it is I do on the guitar. The half-time metronome tip seems pretty damn useful, thanks for that.
Hours of practice and dedication. Respect. Check out Ross Bolton intructional vids.
Such a wonderful lesson. Thanks for sharing!
How can you dislike this ?? I mean i you are a guitar player you can always learn from the masters of their craft and Cory is a funk guitar master!
2:44 You are w(r)ong, Cory. I could listen to that all day!
i had it on 1.25 speed at first i was oh shit
I bet when he hit puberty and discovered himself, his skin flute had to become one tough hombre damn fast.
This is important
Hahaha!
In summation, it's better to hit the wrong note at the right time than to hit the right note at the wrong time.
Me: I got this!!
Carpal tunel: Hold my beer
Absolutely love that idea of “two dimensional” metronome practice and the way you described what one without the other could look like
I don't know how he gets that wrist so loose but still holds the pick so tightly.
He's not holding it tightly, his grip is loose enough to allow the pick some movement between his finger and thumb so that it glides over the strings. If you hold the pick too tight then it will fight it's way out of your grip but allowing it to move a little will help you to keep hold of it. Sorry for my poor explaination haha
@@dobbinish hey pls help me why my pick always stuck everytime i do fast strum?
is it because my pick is too thick? (1.5mm)
@@alessandro9740 A thinner pick will be easier but a 1.5mm will be fine if you work on your technique. Practicing strumming patterns to a beat (metronome) at slower speeds will help you have a more relaxed and even movement which will allow to eventually play more smoothly at faster speeds.
1.5mm might be more challenging to get precise with your dynamics. I’d personally try a .73 or .88, see how those work out
He must be using a light pick. If he’s not I give up
One of the best instructional videos I've seen in a long time. Very well demonstrated and clearly explained. But I think I'm going to have to go to a thinner pick, because I'm either going to lose a lot of picks like John John or break a lot of strings.
Thinner picks definitely work better
All my picks broke
My gosh... this is the style I've been wanting to learn for 2 decades...... Thanks a million for the lessons!
5:45 - When a Guitarist comes with an already tuned guitar.
He uses the same metronome exercise as Gilad Hekselman both amazing players with amazing timing.
The art of muting. Hard AF
I have been trying to get my motor going lately. My wrist doesn't stay loose enough. I'm going to keep working...
Try stretches?
Oh man, you make us Wongs mighty real proud.
Go fund me to buy Corey another shirt.
Liam Tahaney go fund me to buy yourself some style.
11:22 Apparently his jaws also got the 120 bpm timing nailed.
Would be nice to hear what pick he uses and what thickness it is, and how it keeps it in fingers.
i personally use thin and grippy nylon picks for stuff likr this
Congrats, kids...you just watched a master class in guitar for free.
Is this guy a master? 16th notes on a metronome is highschool level band practice stuff. He's a master? Like Segovia, Jim hall, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, julian lage? This guy is in the conversation when speaking of the masters past and present? I think a more accurate statement would be we just got a first semester highschool band class for free. Get what ya pay for.
0:30 Well...Same for me. Not for guitar though...
his playing is so clean I could eat off it
Huh imagine that, music is about timing and feel. Good to hear someone say it though. Just heard about this guy after NeuralDSP dropped his signature pack. He's a killer player.
Интересно, сустав долго проживет?
Listen to TOMO Fujita
Fuck I dont know if it's the guitar skills or if it's how well spoken he is that's got me so impressed
I love this guys.. Love you playing and Explanation is very easy to understand..
He talk about metronome iam totaly agree man.
I bealive the key of music is time..
How does he get that tone though? Is it the pickups? I have 2 Strats and they don't sound like that lol.
See Cory's other video where he talks about his gear here: ruclips.net/video/UH2nntmhje4/видео.html
He uses a wampler EGO compressor. Compressors are key for funk playing if you're going near it professionally, and Cory uses his very very well.
There only highway one strats
Dude just knows how to play and what tone he wants
@@seansrecords Exactly man. But for those interested he's using a 2001 Highway Strat in Sapphire Blue with Seymour Duncan Antiquity Surf pickups. Such a simple setup which shows its all in the hands.
Might not be the case, but I've found people don't talk enough about WHERE to hit the strings. Your right hand position between bridge and neck makes a big difference.
Cory Wong is what would happen if SRV only played chords and never soloing.
I want him to play bleed by meshuggah with that technique lol
Cory "Cartilage Wrist" Wong
Your wrist is highly loose and flexible ( as it should be ). I'm just astonished @how clean both your finger picking and strumming are!
Need the Vulf Compressor
Wampler Ego Compressor on full 👍🏼
My Lord! I've been searching for advanced rhythm techniques and this one is blowing my mind. The motor of the RH is going 16th beats the whole time!
Awesome video! I can play like that for about 5-6 seconds and then my hand starts yelling at me, "STOP, YOU FOOL!" Cory is amazing at this style.
The other thing that happens is my pick goes flying across the room.
Start slow - best advice for everything Not in your musclememory - doesnt work? Start slower - doesnt work? Start only thinking of doing the first 3 notes of it
@@loarzhapunkt I know this is random but can you give me 10 things you notice about his playing because I have an assignment where I have to do that but I don’t know anything about guitar, you don’t have to though
@@ZyxLo you have something like a Challenge where you got to play like cory without Knowing anyth about Guitar? How much time do you got?
@@loarzhapunkt oh no it was just an assignment of listing 10 things that Cory is doing, I don’t have to play anything
productive watch
Great subject and Cory definitely nails it. This is something I'm working on big time as throughout my guitar life I've felt most comfortable behind the beat. The subject of time is really an important subject and a subject often neglected by guitarists.
Imagine how fast he can jack it with that right hand. Bustin' in seconds.
I have never related to a professional guitarist more than the moment at 9:20 where the phone with the metronome falls off his lap. I cannot convey the number of times this happens to me lmao
also when I play chords I just googled on that phone. Every god damn time :)
That cellphone just couldn't handle that groove...
I've been studying music since 3rd grade... And I've never thought about metronome practice like that. It definitely is 2 dimensional, that's so crazy I never noticed that before.
Kyle Shanahan can also play guitar!?
Freakin awesome. At music school we had to do an exercise with a metronome at around 100 bpm, but hearing it as the third of 3 quarter note triplets. Then clapping a duplet based rhythm over the top. Turned my brain inside out.
But I'm sure it lead to your masterpiece... right?
I know this is random but can you give me 10 things you notice about his playing because I have an assignment where I have to do that but I don’t know anything about guitar, you don’t have to though
Average White Band
carpal tunnel: im about to ruin this man's whole career
Really hard to play at this rate without losing expression. Cory manages to keep all of it and more. Now that's funky...
Only recently discovered this cat. I love what he does. Very tight and clean.
"When I was little I accidentally superglued a pick between my fingers. But now I found a way to profit from it!"
Is it normal when you practice with metronome for so long in a day and your ear start producing heartbeat like pulse? I usually spent a lot of time practicing 16th strumming on 60 bpm and after several hours my ears start beating pulse lol, it's really hard to lock in at first but once you got in the pocket, time flies and it's just so much fun, i could spent like 3 to 5 hours just doing that and it felt like nothing, what i find frustrating is just trying to lock in the groove the first time you turn on the metronome, switching to other type of groove and the most frustrating is that pick keeps on slipping and falling off of my grip. Also i think moving your body to the groove also help with time feel. Good luck to anyone out there who's trying out this metronome exercise.
I find comments like this as important as these type of videos, I love earing experiences of player that are exercising like me and it helps a lot having feedbacks as this
@@time_tame1789 likewise man, sometimes it's super tiring to see cats on ig pulling this kinda stuff so easily, it's nice to have someone to relate to ya know. Good luck on your guitar/music journey man! 🤗
I know this is random but can you give me 10 things you notice about his playing because I have an assignment where I have to do that but I don’t know anything about guitar, you don’t have to though
Very eloquently described. I've been teaching guitar most of my life and I love well delivered lessons
He's chugging.
Ola:
I think tips on pick and string gauge would serve as a significant addition to this rhythm guitar lesson. Would a lighter pick and/or string gauge make this funk style easier or more comfortable to play?
Welcome to wrist arthritis 2024
I like when he says caca and karate shops the air ... I still remember when guitar players were cool 😎
Freak right hand
