The bass on this track is literally insane

SONNY THOMPSON ON THE SONNY THOMPSON

Sonny and Michael, the heart of Prince´s NPG. My fave Prince era, btw.

[@dclarkmusic]

I love that this is “dark” for Cory. It’s adorable 😂

[@LEOsoulMonarch]

Tell me about it. He compared this to Jack skelington, Scorpion (MK), and master of puppets. And im like, "Word? Because i think thats cap." I mean, he knows more about this music thing than i do, but this don't strike me as dark or mean...........at ALL. It's funk, not metal. Lol

[@christianlarson4201]

To be fair, he talks about a whole diminished section that was dropped from the track.

[@ruben_____]

9:38 "Bro, I note for note know Master of Puppets" I'll believe it when I see it Cory. Give us the clean Puppets playthrough asap

This might actually sound really cool with Wongtone

Cory is one funny guy, I can't stop laughing from 15:57 onwards when he was so mind blown by Satch guitar playing lol....very entertaining

[@jsk8et]

This video gave me the kind of joy I had listening to Strange Beautiful Music in High school. Satch has that particular weighty tone with that almost subdued wah sound. And that groove you guys laid down is just like stomping through the yard after a rainstorm. So dope.

[@sashonaumov8070]

[@q.8965]

Was anyone else sad to hear Cory say he wouldn't be playing guitar solos anymore? I get it, he's great at so many other things (songwriting, being a front man, collabing) and he does not need to do it all, but I'm always looking forward to getting to hear him continue to grow as an improviser. I hope he feels like returning to it someday!

WI - gi - gag (n.) - (see also weee-weeee) a sudden, quick, and erratic multi-string pick scrape often preceded by one or more whammy bar dips. Can be interchanged with a weee-weeee.

So DAT’s dat wigigag.

Typically also involves a 3rd fret harmonic with a wammy pull and a pitch shifter. Dimebag used it all the time in Pantera.

[@alex-mil]

Love this song. Absolutely amazing!

[@Jedizen07]

Of all of my favorite guitar players, Satch is the ONLY one who can play to the " character " of ANY song. I swear. . .I get to hear ( and sometimes transcribe ) so many players when they play on their own albums or even guest star on someone else's material. While there are so many great players out on our planet, Satriani really gets the importance of how soloing can add so much depth to any style of music. Great video!!
