Cory Wong Teaches Vulfpeck's "Darwin Derby" on Guitar | Reverb Lesson

[@mintran]

It's super simple: Step 1: learn the chord shape he mentioned. Step 2: remove the bones from your right hand!

[@bmoklsc]

Min Tran Replace bones with Twizzlers.

[@OnzeManInKazakhstan]

...and then we draw the rest of the horse

[@1033timo]

i can't express how much i love his sound

[@futur_sunds]

Same

[@ForestCinema]

“And then the rhythm with your right hand” Ok Cory, sure that’s no big deal 😂

[@enkiea8322]

Right? Lol.

[@AcornFox]

Finish the rest of the owl

[@ibefullofme]

Just strum 16ths and mute all the notes you don't want

[@AMpr0d]

Yea like Zurich says, it really isn't that hard. What's fucking insane is when Cory does this with single notes and manages to make it sound clean. That's freaking impressive.

[@skatetodeath666]

@@ibefullofme that's not what he's doing. Slow it down and watch and listen.

[@cfoscoop]

Everyone: *uses strap locks* Cory Wong: gAfF TApE

[@Cru2o2]

Only other band I saw use tape was Warpaint

[@SAPIOfficial]

Krist Novoselic used old rags lol

[@SanglierMort]

actually a shitload of band use ductape instead of straplocks

[@stephenevans2518]

It's the tape keeping it in fourth position that gets me

[@jorellopez9624]

Explosions in the Sky uses them

[@jsk8et]

Wong has a hand made of German Rubber (precise and loose at the same time).

[@MM-vs2et]

I thought you meant German condom

[@AcornFox]

Pirelli Super Softs

[@xWonderxBreadx]

Same engineers as Chad Sexton's hands I believe

[@rthavi4166]

This stuff is just so fun to learn and play. I love the way he discusses the underlying musical concepts in these videos too--it's not just like "play the 7th fret here..."

[@andrewt248]

It's so funky and it's low volume!

[@zemownkee]

andrewt248 I recommend a Steve with a headbang.

[@cringystingy8025]

[@ryyymyyy]

yap come on

[@szrnkabela]

Oooh not post-Fugue State albums anymore. Everything got uber-compressed. IGF4's waveform is practically a brick.

[@ivanhimself]

Fender is due to release Cory Wong signature Strat with only neck and middle pups

[@enkiea8322]

That works.

[@tehnoobischshow]

And a 2-way pickup switch for neck or neck & middle position

[@BibleStorm]

There wouldn't be a switch @@tehnoobischshow

[@Hanzi2103]

@@BibleStorm why not? It switches between two settings?

[@harryelliott4363]

@@Hanzi2103 You only want one. 4th.

[@AOTSismyhero]

His picking is so interesting

[@sunjamrblues]

As a guitar student still very much in learning mode, I really appreciate this breakdown of the chord structures and picking style. Many thanks to Cory and Reverb.

[@a_boi2808]

“I don’t do drugs I do physical activity to get me hyped” I wonder what the entire band does before gigs/shows/recordings.

[@alexwalls8308]

Drugs

[@MarioAtheonio]

Joe probably does some kind of warmup neck exercise

[@t.j.fuller9531]

What a refreshing break from my over indulgence of daily 80’s rock This guy is a major talent 2 thumbs up !!!

[@buttecreekwoody7615]

Love his percussion on the strings. This is my go to AM song.

[@zanelli9273]

this tone is pure gold... goldpack

[@meatsuitsublimator8506]

He fails to mention that he is wrapping that thumb around to catch the tonic on the low E string. He hits it within his picking pattern to root the chord. Smart man-doesn't want to reveal all his secrets. I'm on to you Wong!

[@zjw5]

it is in the tabs though. pretty awesome to see any contemporary artist teach their own song, especially demystifying something that sounds so complex to reveal its the same chord shape and rhythm the entire song

[@Y0N0_Desu]

There's a lot of covers out their but replicating the way he actually does it is hard af.. Underrated Riff

[@educ96]

Cory Wong definitivamente es el guitarrista con más estilo que he conocido, con 5 acordes hace literalmente magia

[@ornleifs]

He's the first Guitar Player I've seen who manages to make Rhythm Guitar Oh so Cool.

[@jamesbernards8409]

You do exercise, not drugs. You are so awesome!

After learning this song you can though

[@matsw5673]

[@snipperbesfelixje]

YES

[@votouragile9190]

A "pretty light attack on the strings" huh

[@dansaunders1655]

*CHUCKACHUCKACHUCKACHUCKA* Yeah, I'd say my attack's fairly light

[@ehmmmjay9907]

Cory Wong is my anti-depressant.

[@iFireender]

aah, this is great. I have been a rocky/bluesy guitar player ever since i started. Then i discover vulfpeck around summer this year, and start to try learning some of their songs. Such a different technique, so nice to learn something new. You might say this is 'easy', but to someone who's not used to do chord shapes with embellishments all the time, its' quite challenging. Enjoying frogville as well (not that used to multiple finger hammer ons and hammer ons on the lower string of fourths!)

[@nstrug]

Thanks Cory and Reverb! I was working off Jack's lesson but this is way clearer (no offence meant to Jack).

[@ClémentCeni]

More Wong! More Isaiah Sharkey too!!!!!

[@MetalLizardJesus]

Super likeable dude. His strumming hand is crazy to watch at times and he seems to favour upstrokes in general. Great vid.

[@drkirchoff]

Cory is always inspiring! Thanks for the video!

[@patrickedwards2158]

Nice funky Groove that's how I like it 😎👍

[@revenant235]

“That’s all there is to it...and then the rhythm with the right hand.” Riiiiiiight. Not sure how long that last bit would take to master. :-)

[@Teen_Drama]

To me, he really is the modern "king of clean". That spank slaps the living shit out of my soul.

[@gb-wx3dv]

"nice and fun and easy" "NICE AND FUN AND EASY" are you kidding me I had to break my whole entire right hand to learn this song

[@Gnarlemagne]

I've always wanted to learn how to play it Wong.

[@mofongotron]

Hell yeah! This looks so fun!

[@iamtolgason8106]

I really like your incredible creativity

[@tylerhughes2830]

4th POSITION

[@staticbb]

Instructions unclear, I'm drenched in litty lemonade.

[@SuperBean9]

Man, he does love that blue strat

[@martenmanna]

Making it seem SO easy but this is quite a complex riff to play RIGHT

A nice fun and easy song.

awesome great job i love it keep it up you are the best i love you so much and may God bless you

[@joeblankenship377]

Classic Jimi-style rhythm playing.

[@dwolivas]

First time I've ever not been able to follow a rhythm. Literally first time ever. But Cory Wong did not become Cory Wong overnight

[@valentinasanchez5757]

I put on the captions and instead of darwin derby it said Darwin therapy lol

[@dantahoua]

Great! Please show us "Introducing the Fearless Flyers"!

[@BibleStorm]

I spent ages trying to figure that out one day but I didn't write anything down. Might have stolen a few licks in the process but mostly from Mark Letieri

[@matthewchunk3689]

sounds so nice, but looks so wong

I love Cup Stacker off this album too ❤

[@jonnyhe2906]

Thanks lots of fun

[@Reddog5546]

Oh baby, it's the darwin derby!

[@SchokokuchenLP123]

His picking of when he plays the lick slowly is different to that of when he plays it fast.

[@doorstepcult2407]

Also his left hand fingering on the walkdown is different when he speeds it up.

[@yuseijm]

Que agradable sujeto.

[@winstonsmith8236]

what compressor is that? sounds great How is Reverb not listing "gear used" ?!??

In another video he talks about using The Warden from Earthquaker Devices.

cool thanx. deep six is great, i wonder if latest version would beat a Cali76@@pabloelias1418

[@marcottavi2655]

Amazing ! I find it a bit overcompressed tho !

[@szrnkabela]

From 2015 everything overcompressed. Maybe bc Loudness War, maybe Jack got musicians hearing damage.

[@alexlevesque9687]

One funky boy

[@Doug_Brest]

May I have the single note tab please? Perhaps the chords such as G and A. My hand isn’t liquid.

[@iamthemoneyj]

Is that really all seven chords? The walk up at the end of part A looks like a different shape. Middle finger on the e string

2:30 is that live or is that the album track good lord its clean af
