This is definitely one of the reason why I love you guys so much. You all are obviously great musicians but the chemistry and positivity between you guys makes it so much more fun to watch. I wish I could just be around you guys all the time!
man... there is some crazy harmonies going on in there. I love how there is so much space for that melody to shine through. Beautiful. Amazing job guys!!!
It's not a fair question for musicians, or anyone, really. You could ask anyone what their top 5 movies of all time are, or their top 5 songs of all time, and if you were to ask them again the next day, or even an hour later, it wouldn't be the same list!
I had no idea that when I heard the song "Sunset" that it would lead me to a channel that brings so much needed joy to my life. Cory was the one of the three (Tim Henson, Plini) that I wasn't already a fan of and now his is the channel I visit most often.
Yeah man same for me. I followed Tim Henson first, who was recommended from fkj and Tom Misch, along with some of the instruction/music theory/breakdown videos I follow. Then I find someone like Cory Wong all within my 2 years of actually studying music since Covid. Long story short I've been playing since I was 10, but stopped studying at like 16. I learned more in the first 3 months of covid than my entire 6 years truly studying how to play. However! This new set of musicians are on another level I am honestly surprised to witness. It's crazy how much the game as evolved.
Exact same thing. My roots are jazz and blues, but I explored fusion and prog extensively the last years and Intervals, Plini, Owane etc became my heroes. And here we go full circle, returning home.
Petar is such an excellent drummer indeed, more than that he seems to be very close to what a Serbian guy is supposed to be, a "Good Cat" as you say Cory, especially if you're old friends since school time, anyways a BIG UP to ALL of you mates & Greetings from French Britanny, you make my day in each & every video !!!
Best show on the internet! Thank you for keeping us all entertained whether it be with excellent music or engaging and funny band banter. Y'all are the best! So much love for Cory & the WongNotes!
I was supposed to be doing something else here at work, but I'm glad i clicked this. The 1st 2.5 minutes was just awesome, and those horns and solos lifted off to another level. It's a marriage of musicianship and camaraderie. I've watched that part 3 times now!
If you haven't played this disc golf course in LA, it's one to check out when you're there - Hahamongna Watershed Park in La Canada - you can see the JPL campus from there as well
Corey your project is very much appreciated, the help you share to other musicians, the dedication to quality and professionalism with humility. A fantastic ambassador of funk and (other genres sometimes) :) hi from ireland guys, your band are inspirational
Damn man you guys have such a great vibe. Wondering if you guys ever got to play with Prince? He would be so proud to see how amazing musicians have been progressing.
Totally relate to Sam’s high fiber vegan diet. I have the same issue. Love being vegan but my ass does trumpet solos like Jon Lampley. Not a critique of Jon, just a compliment for myself
Unless Sonny aged a few decades in the last few years, there has definitely been at least one player replaced. Hope the original bass player is doing well.
The bassist from the version of Meditation on the boat, I suppose. Looks like he played some gigs with the band this summer. Idk, he might be subbing for Sonny T from time to time.
