Cory Henry Solo "Skate You"

[@charlesauspicks]

All joy, even after 10years... We'd miss Shaun Martin so much 😢

[@Bankai2169]

It was at that moment that the keyboard realized what it was capable of achieving

What's amazing about this band is that they are ALL World Class musicians, and instead of the arrogance or competition that would typically happen with all of this skill and talent assembled, they seem to inspire each other to raise their game to the next level, and enjoy seeing each other excel, individual, collectively and even with guest artists. Micheal League has created an all-time greatest band, considering how many moving parts there are.

[@AlexReynard]

This is why I like Casiopia. The Mint Jams album is full of moments where they're trading solos and playing around, having fun and helping each other be their best.

[@guidryjoseph44]

Corey Henry has soooo many options to take when he plays and he always chooses the classiest ways to play a solo......

[@chaunceyturman4987]

Mike and Corey deliver a masterclass at 1:21. Corey heads into his riff, Mike hears him extending melodic line and quickly changes his bass fill to a walking bass line that delivers them both safely back to the 1 chord. Legends are born when you can find that "zone" and spontaneously create what would take days or months to compose on paper.

[@steverichardson7971]

I think it was the other way around. Mike played a 3625 and Cory followed him, that’s why they are so impressed

[@bassicallywayne2404]

​@@steverichardson7971yeah you're right man

[@joshjones9749]

The moment you realize Cory was probably gonna do something different on the end of that lick at 1:27 but heard where micheal was going and matched it with those disgusting chords on the fly!

[@NINT3ND0master]

YES

[@arjanlinker512]

These are the chords at the end reharm if youre wondering: Am7 Abm7 Gm7 C7 Gb7 F7 E7 E7/G# Am7 Eb7 D7 G7 Am7 Eb7 D7 G7

[@AuXXKeyz]

God bless you brother

[@UkuleleAversion]

I just hear the Gb7 tbh. I don't hear him go from C7 to Gb7. Rest seems right.

[@lugiakid781]

6 years later and this still one of the best skate u performances. still bopping to this

[@RayfieldA]

So true! And this is why it's so frustrating that there is No Full clip of this performance to be found on KZbin!

Corey has so many options it's ridiculous....and don't get it twisted...Shaun Martin standing behind him is a monster keyboard player as well.,,,

man is sophisticated for sure. what a cat.

[@matthewrotker-lynn7339]

I always love watching Shaun's expressions when Cory is playing..like Shaun is incredible but even he is just stunned by what comes out of Cory's fingers

[@antoine20008]

Who please is Shaun ?

[@nadavzeira389]

@@antoine20008 The other keyboard player. He's a legend, you should check him out ! (Unforuantely, he suffered from a stroke lately, so he's in recovery and not performing with the band atm, but hopefully he'll get better and go back to playing!)

at 1:28 Cory hears that michael squishes in a 36251 progression leading from Db to A and Cory actually adjusts his 16th note line and voicings in the left hand. Crazy how fast he can switch. there is none like that guy

Yaaaas instantly screenshotted it. XD This will be developed and get an honourable place in my wall.

I can’t stop watching the 251 at 1:26. Absolutely mind-blowing musicianship in this band.

I'm still kinda new to number theory, but i thought that was a 6, b6 ,5, 1

[@engvallfam]

@@aaron23miller no its a 3-6-2-5-1

[@aaron23miller]

@@engvallfam can the 2 sometimes be substituted for a b6, or is it always 2??

[@jimmypark1340]

@@aaron23miller I’ve heard a few rnb songs that use a b6major instead of a 2 but a 2 will always be a 2

[@stephenderbin6624]

​@aaron23miller you right, the min2 will often get substituted for a b6, its called a tritone substitution

[@amichaelhemingway]

1:25 - 1:28 is so dope! The run in the right hand, the chords in the left, the bass player doing the walk down, all in syncopation... Blew my mind! :D

[@fasanov123]

i have watched this video an unbelievable amount of times and i always wished the full thing was available. What a jam this is. Can’t get enough of watching the members faces during cory’s solo

[@dk8moore]

Cory and Micheal must have a mental connection or something... they left me speechless everytime.. THAT SOLO BTW :O I want to put my keyboards down forever... AWESOME

[@nastassiajones9422]

OFFICALLY A FAN OF THE BASS PLAYER! SO ON POINT. LOVE HIS GROVE FACES HE MAKES ARE PRICELESS!

[@jorgeamaro2686]

Michael league; D

[@markprater1]

It's his band; he wrote and produced most of the songs that they perform.

[@ronaldwilson1431]

Michael league is tough

[@corneliusclory7883]

This will forever be a classic.

[@brenttauromusic]

Still my favourite solo.

[@mikeee1345]

I still say so myself lol

[@fooni7400]

It’s mine too. Idk when he gets on the synth it’s just magic

[@ald5365]

There is only Snarky Puppy and Cory Henry together that manage too make my throat squeeze, and tears coming to my eyes, with just heavy groove and unbelievable musical keyboard chorus. It's insane !

[@Dazzer1234567]

love Shaun's reaction when Cory manages to find those 3 chords at 1:28 after that run................

[@waifuat]

I've been listening to this for days and I keep learning something new each time

[@chaunceyturman4987]

I've seen these guys live a couple times. The energy between the band and the crowd is off the charts. Corey wasn't with them both times so I wished Corey toured with them more, but Shaun Martin is the real deal too. Like any truly great band, they listen to each other, they adjust, they flow....they are dynamic, and it makes all the difference in the world.

[@allenlark]

Everything about this is phenomenal.

[@johannesgroth2427]

I've probably seen this solo 20 times. It never gets old! Amazing stuff!

[@AdrianJonathanMusic]

Corey Killed it, but I am here to see Shaun's reaction 1:25 .. RIP LEGEND!

[@PWMoze]

The start is fantastic, I love the quiet dignity of Shaun Martin as he witnesses pure genius playing right next to him! I'd give up on the spot!

[@bgodinho]

Cory... he is not from Earth. Seriously.
