Tim Court Wong song?

[@christianfriisjensen2055]

I would rather we call his kids that, but it'll do I guess.

[@DannyWoodMusic]

I've always wondered how he did that!! Thanks for the lesson! Unfortunately my right hand has bones. I will still try!

Those outro words were very inspiring ❤️ "go closer to the source and you might find yourself with an even deeper inspiration"

[@ThatDonovanKid]

I just watched a John Mayer interview where he had something similar to say. "If you just learn my song, "Gravity", then great-- big deal. But if you dive deeper and dig into the theory that makes up the song, then you'll be able to rip me off in much more fundamental ways." I've probably butchered the quote, but the main idea is there.

[@bak1386]

1 of the best strat tones u could ever dream of

[@tallon3925]

bak 138 fourth position on a strat- very easy to replicate his sound

[@eescsee]

Strat, Fourth position, compressor. Right on!

[@MrDinamitebla]

Thank you Cory for revealing your secrets. It’s a very mature and professional contribution to the guitar world

[@hiroprotagonitis]

I've been confused about how he seemingly got "3" notes out of just "2" actions this ever since he posted that clip on instagram. Loved that comment that gave credit to and was about going to the source for deeper inspiration. This was a game changer for me, so I'll be doing just that. Thanks Cory!!

[@pablotloupakis1722]

“respect the grid”. GREAT wording!

[@drdre4397]

I really like this guys style of playing. I have been playing just under a year doing mainly blues rock type stuff but starting to delve into a little funk.

[@d4.2g]

I accidentally grabbed three pieces of bread for my PB&j watching this

[@FC-cz6zd]

That's the ultimate confirmation that you learned something. Congrats!

[@wilfig]

If there is such a thing as a virtuoso rhythm guitarist, Cory Wong is such a person.

[@PhilosopherG6]

This is a classic slap bass triplet lick. You are brilliant Wong!

[@xabiguitar]

The cleanness of his playing is insane. Specifically on those upstrokes, mamma mia.

[@chrisf6216]

Thank you Reverb / CW. Jealous of those awesome alien fingers - cheers!

[@CrackaLackaHacka]

Paul Jackson Jr. recently posted his entire vhs lesson from the 90s (I think) on his channel. Check it out!

[@brunooliverio521]

When played slow it's got a vibe that reminds me of Argentinian Folklore... Like that 1-2-3 1-2-3.

[@GarrettHope]

I’ve got $1,000 that he’s wearing a striped shirt under that hoodie.

[@juliangabrielsantos9224]

$1000 that shirt has a retro VHS filter under that hoodie

[@drunkass77]

What a cool down to earth dude

[@therealmrfishpaste]

so Wong it's right

[@jwstout007]

(Aussie pelican lands in the window) Pelican: WHAT'D I MISS? WHAT'D I MISS?!?!?! Cameraman: looks like Cory is using the Wong triplet rhythm Porcaro Paul Jackson Jr. ripoff lick Pelican: ah, he's been favoring that one. ;)

I want more from Cory!!!

[@ivanmartin5930]

[@johncu7101]

I used to see Cory play back in the 70s. He still looks young af

[@hadengold]

he was born in the 80s?

[@ideasonek3374]

but cory wasn't even born in the 70s

[@raviolimaster]

3:12 "did someone just step in dogshit?" Is what the face hes making is called.

[@jwaj]

Lol in every vulfpeck song he plays in he looks like he knows someone forgot to put on deodorant

[@JuaniAlfonso]

Cory u are amazing! Please upload more videos like this one

[@joeblankenship377]

You're never gonna be as good at being Cory Wong as Cory Wong is at being Cory Wong.

[@nikolaki]

Well that's the entertainment for next week's evenings sorted. Where's the metronome? I probably won't be ready to use the metronome until the following week. Went with my youngest and we saw Cory at the Electric Ballroom on Saturday. One word: EPIC

Vulfpecks newest song really shows how good he is at this lol

[@nelsonw2096]

This is great. My suggestion: make camera a bit more perpendicular to the fretboard.

[@ryannchristopherpolon737]

Above the sixth string is where the pick scratch marks are

The "Wong Way to Go About It"

[@flupsel]

You say you're scared to fly But you've been chasing open skies And you might lose your way from time to time You can stay here and justify All the days waiting in your life When you can be your own amateur pilot

[@libertarious]

The Wong diddley punch pluck technique.

[@MarkRhodesSongs]

That is so cool!

[@hafizjumat]

cory is so fucking cool..and he is a great player

[@jakstrike1]

I know a lot (most) of it is technique, but are there any particular amp settings that give a better noise when you hit the strings?

[@MsKstunna]

Just Awesome!!❤💥😊

[@hunterrsteel]

how funky.

What's that song he segues into when he demonstrates it the first time? Driving me mad trying to remember it.

[@ugolesprit8497]

The move itself is the intro to the last song of his live in Minneapolis, Companion Pass, so that's what he plays after the move.

[@jaredadams5748]

IDK about the "play in time trick" I want to know the magic behind your muting. HOW THE ACTUAL F*** DO YOU KEEP IT SO CLEAN

lots of practice!

I just shat myself thx cory❤

cory “guhguhguh-guhguhguh” wong

[@gfunkk]

don't forget fourth position! see the tape.

[@michaelsteven1090]

Why tape on the PU selector?

[@Sionare]

He put a tape on the switch to keep always in...4th position.

[@aidensaroka7268]

We need to hook Mr. Wong up with some fingernail clippers lol

[@antonyohara]

Was thinking the same thing. I guess if you play an electric and don't do radical string bending, you can manage.

[@q.8965]

Cory Wong is the shit

[@hoze1235]

funkilicious

[@Kpapa91]

Should've just called it the Cory Wiplet 😎

[@swordofhonor2]

Wow

[@marcuswilespage]

How do I get that tone?!!!

[@Erkki_Mela]

Huuge compression. Makes the sound really pop.

[@marcuswilespage]

Erkki Mela oh yeah for sure. Wonder what amp or pedals he’s using

[@Erkki_Mela]

Marcus Wiles oh okay. No idea on that bro. 😅

[@marcuswilespage]

Erkki Mela friend of mine told me he plays through a Supro a lot. Don’t know anything about them except that they ain’t cheap lol

Good Fenders and Egnaters sound like this paired with just about any full scale Fender or Squire out the box

[@bluejavelina5335]

whats the tape on switch for?

Jason Caviola to keep it in fourth position because he always knocks it out of place

What kind of pick would you have to use to scrape that top like that. Mustn't be Davas, they're soft.

From what I know he's using a Wampler Ego compressor.

aah bo00 It's a technique used on the Guiro - a common transition, not an invention. i' been doing that triplet for years :/ Even before the bass player made them famous!

[@umphreak9999]

exactly, he, as a guitar player, should know everything about latin american percussion instruments and their techniques and not claim ownership of something he had no idea existed for a completely different instrument

[@danherrick2310]

@@umphreak9999 just saw this! what i meant was - it can't possibly be the case that he invented this. I mean, i haven't played with my band in 4 years and i was doing this with them. I"m not that clever, so i can't imagine that i was the first, either. Just think it's cute when people take a basic technique and say they invented it. I invented two-hand tapping last week.
