Rig Rundown: Cory Wong
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- Hey, what’s happenin’ people?!!! For Cory Wong, who kicks off episodes of his Wong Notes podcast with that question, the answer is he’s currently deep into an international tour-while still recording new episodes, writing music, and producing. But that didn’t stop the prodigious, prolific picker from taking the time during a recent stop at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl to guide us through his rig. By the way, the new season of Wong Notes begins March 9 with a big-deal guest, so stay tuned.

Any chance you guys are doing an Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats rig rundown while they are in the US right now ??
New drinking game idea. Every time Cory says “transient” take a shot.
…and a bong hit every time he says, “nitro.”
Christ I'm HAMMERED🤤🤤🍶🍸🍻
Only partake if you're suicidal or Russian!
Dead
I died, I’m dead, good job
introducing Cory as a podcast host is like calling the Mona Lisa a selfie.
I think it's just cause Premier Guitar hosted the podcast; it's be more accurate to call him a 4th position connoisseur
@@TheTapMusicthat is the only correct answer
Hahaha!
Having seen his Ernie Ball string shoot out video, where he correctly identified each string set... I totally believe him about his body specs, and headstock size spec.
100% guitar guru snake oil. What a Fender salesman though!
@@Skipray_Blastboat for 99% of guitar players that’s true but for someone like Cory wong playing clean and working with theses instruments for so long he notices. It doesn’t matter for the rest of us mere mortals tho
So those guitars with no headstock have absolutely no sustain if a little more headstock adds a little more sustain. It is so so guitarded!!! Don’t believe anything you see. Specially those who sell stuff.
@@Otis-Isom nobody is denying that Cory is on another level compared to basically everybody here, but guitar players still believe a lot of stuff. Hell, even guitar builders who are intimately familiar with how wood works still believe a lot of stuff that isn't physically possible. I guess it just part of the mentality, no use in disproving it every time
@@ileutur6863 I think it’s fair to say that the actual transient is probably imperceptibility different but the way the body resonates and how the note feels to play may be different leading to the effect he discusses. If the note feels different it’s played differently. The extent to which it’s different is debatable and I tend to heir on the side of caution when it comes to marketing and mystique but I could definitely see there being a feel thing for Cory.
His strumming technique is so clean that it kills all the germs on my guitar
LETS GOOOOOOO
Honestly, his music is so far from anything I usually am drawn to, guitar wise, yet from the first time I heard Cory play, I was hooked. Opened another door of music that I have loved to get into. Dude is so good!
Bores me. I really tried. I just don’t get it.
Same here vwharman! He got me back into Strats and one of the reasons I got a nice new set of pickups for my 90's Mexican Strat 😁
He simply play DISCO the best style EVER
He approaches things like an engineer. Redundant settings on pedals to account for errors in pressing the button. A true professional. That Rossie might just end up filling the Super Meatball shaped hole in my heart.
Vertex build video is great too.
He's so nice and so lovable - and is a completely frightening guitarist! Wow. Great show.
His "St. Vincent meets Morello" riffing at 33:14 is something else! What a creative use of fuzz.
Cory Wong: The Rhythm Guitar Virtuoso.
I love his work. He never disappoints.
I listened to the first half of Cory’s interview with John Mayer today and it was everything I hoped for. In fact it was so good that then listened to his Carlos Santana interview and his Robben Ford interview.
The selector defeat idea is sweet. Smart man. Fourth is my all-time favorite Strat position as well.
Just want to say I really love these videos where the artists get into the details like pick technique and speaker choices etc. ! A very rewarding watch
Glad you like them!
Love everything Cory does!
Thank you for the rig rundown!
john bohlinger is an amazing host. i freakin love him
DUDE. I really want a Cory Wong Signature strat now. I mean, I did before, but now I REALLY want one.
Yes! Troy Grady's channel is a bloody gift!
Seeing this in my recommended this morning made me jump for joy
Cory had great explanations. I love that most about rig rundowns. When they explain the how and why.
Awesome video, thanks for featuring Cory!
I've been waiting for this!!!
This is definitely one of the best John bohlinger rig rundown
watching your videos and just looking at how enthusiastic the interviewer is about everything makes me smile throughout the whole thing ! thank you
The man knows of what he speaks
Now we know why Fearless Flyers have a song called Vespa ... the Vezzpa Pedal!!
Such a damn good player, and totally chill and modest guy. That iconic Strat sound suits his playing perfectly.
one of the best rig rundowns
Great interview. Thanks JB.
Can’t be a guitar/gear nerd and not love this.
Or not being constantly talking horseshit. I'm a huge! guitar nerd but I call call horseshit on just about all of the tone and sustain crap
Cory Wong, what a nice guy. Down to earth but an incredible guitar player. It was a pleasure to watch.
I've never heard of this dude but he has the best strat tone I've ever heard
You have to check out the Vulfpeck live show from MSG (as John B. would say "Killer!"
@@VixCrush I will do that. Thanks homie
@@VixCrush their show from Ancienne Belgique is one of the best recorded shows I’ve ever seen.
You'd have to include Eric Johnson in that "best Strat tone" category. Watch this live video of Cory (and his exuberance when he plays) and also pay attention to the bass player: ua-cam.com/video/EQm2aSyI-F8/v-deo.html
And, of course, the Fearless Flyers with Cory, Mark Lettieri, Joe Dart, and Nate Smith. I'm attending a guitar workshop in June and Mark is one of the guest artists. ua-cam.com/video/72_zXigcOrA/v-deo.html
oh man - that 4th selector thing was soooooooo good
“It’s like you’re getting hugged by a cloud” I love his tone! 😢
A few nice Spinal Tap moments...like the "small" body thoery. Love Rig Rundown' esp when john interviews. Lots of magic and healthy humor!
yeah, i hope he was joking but i don't know.
I too once had a 'Highway One' Strat, and it had the *big* headstock; That thing should've had sustain for days, going by Cory's theories, but it had not! 😄 😉
Lol!
That was fun to watch. Very informative. If I ever go back to using pedals, I look at a few of those....toys.
This guy holds nothing back. Full-transparency mode! Love and appreciate it Cory!
I love that 4th position trick. It's my 1 go-to too. I might steal this
I've been looking for a good Volume/Wah pedal and thanks to Cory and this vid I've found one!
He's a great interview. Lot's of personality with the knowledge to make it all interesting. Good one John.
@37mins -- Cory sounding like "Down Together" by the Refreshments....
Great rundown!
very cool! thnkq! much love 😊✌️
Great interview! Lots of new guitar theories to share at parties
Really cool guy just started getting into Cory extremely talented another great tug rundown Thx John & Premier
Amazing.
Cory is the real deal , he don’t just play guitar he knows his guitar very well , I guess that’s the way it should be right .
@37:06 That's the Refreshments 'Down Together' whether intentional or not. Sounding fantastic.
Awesome video
The man himself! Gennady Golovkin! He’s an incredible boxer and even better guitar player!
Finally, some playing on these. Thank God.
Just love this dude
Dude plays cleaner than guitar pro
I saw this tour. It was fantastic, and Cory’s tone was on point. Shoutout to his entire band though. They are ridiculously good!
Great idea......a panic button.....🤟👍👌👏😎☃️🎸 Love his playing.....truly unique style very Wong
Don’t know why Fender doesn’t put some sort of contoured heel on all production strats - every bit is designed for ergonomic comfort, then it has a square heel...its the 21st century Fender! Okay, rant over.
Love when Cory plays wha he is mumbling the notes with his mouth perfect timing
Haha I do it too! I catch myself doing it in videos constantly
We live a beautiful world when someone cas say, "IT's like St. Vincent meets Moralo."
Awesome great lnterview great show guitar 🎸 so sound great audio.
Enjoyed this one. Cool dude
I like Cory's approach to QC. Very cool! 👍🏻
Cory could literally sell me pocket lint
think he sold me that beetronics pedal. that was badass
Fourth position panic!!! XD
He's a genius!
It feels so great watching this video. Cause right before it I watched a video with a dude who had microcosm, meris, chase audio and a couple of other expensive pedals on his pedalboard.
I wish I could play like Cory! Such a great funky guy! I always learn something new from him.
Check out the Fourth Position Academy course 🙂
I ran monitors for Steve Kimock years ago and he said the same thing about running two amps and two different cabs. I totally agree; two does just sound better than one.
OMG thats the best use of a Fuzz pedal i've ever heard.
What a pro!
The dude is a talker, that's for sure.
Super cool Strat, I dig the specs, I’d love to own one
Yay I use the dava picks too
I had to think of blimmen Pat Finnerty and his silly 'Home Store Rundown' Bohlinger impersonations throughout this whole video! 🙈 😆
I second TROY GRADY ; ...he has studied the science of picking and how to get efficient speed
Great pedal tones
It will be interesting to see something about the other instruments from your band as well 👍
You are all amazing guys ❗
BIG fan of your music !!!
He is a Mad Scientist... Incredible... You don't have to ask a single question, because he literally breaks down every makeup of his DNA... I am not as much into his style of music as much as I am into him as a guitarist...method to every aspect to his MADNESS 🎸🤟🔬📝📐
Eh most of it is snake oil
Nice one.. best RR since Carlton and Ford
A really good gear interview subject this kid! His signature guitar looks like a winner as well.
Man… if only every rig rundown was this deep
Dang Corey has great tone. His overdrives were impressive.
Great interview, really enjoyed it. Interesting Cory and Fender going for the same line as PRS and John Mayer “I can go into a shop and get a guitar and it’s the same as any of mine and I’d be happy to gig it” type of quality claim. I love my Fender EJ strat but it’s too obvious to be now using the same message as PRS.
Man. Corey is the Tom Morello of the Funk and RnB world, soooo killer
Cory Wong! He's kinda good at guitar ;-) Love your Rig Rundowns and Cory Wong, you're a God!
Best guitarist right now
Hey Cory, if you want a very compelling verb in a smaller format for a "carry-on" format pedalboard, try the MXR m300. It's wonderful and very versatile.
This Cory is so cool !
11:00
If a player isn’t willing/comfortable with playing their factory, off-the-shelf, signature guitar, is it even a signature guitar or is it literally just marketing?
Love that Strat color!
Saw him in Berlin. One of the concerts of my life
Cory 2022: "Maybe Strymon could make a smaller version so I could fit The Dude on here"
Strymon 2023: "Hold my beer" -> Releases The Cloudburst containing basically what Cory was asking for a year in advance.
As a fellow lover of The Big Clean tone, and as someone who also loves a JC-120, I found that the only OD’s it “liked” was a Butler Drive or a similar “tube in a box” deal.
Cory Wong is an amazing guitar player, but also such a cool and nice guy!
Next Cory Wong show I go too I’m buying his guitar !
Interesting expression/volume/wah pedal choice. Watch the prices skyrocket on Amazon. As of 3/4/2022 they're $120 buying from USA
Cory Wong! THE Optimist!!
I learned a new word today…TRANSIENTS…Corey Wong sees things as an engineer…a perfect example of a gear nerd… fabulous tones!!…amazing guitarist!!
4th position panic button has been in my mind for decades, especially for recording situations ;-)
that push pull trick is genius
great dude, great playing, great sounds... he should try out the specular tempus by GFI ;-)
This man is I'm sure one of the most precisely rhythmic guitarists alive.
The 4th position button ... man so cool
