Cory has been my favorite musician PERIOD for that very reason for the past few years. Getting to watch Cory and my other favorite musician sit and chat was just awesome
I love how Victor just drops these prolific wisdom bombs nonstop and then Cory has to find some way to respond that doesn't make him sound dumb in comparison.
man, Victor's interview... makes me feel so inspired and warm. so many lessons to take note of. and them performances too! how is this show free?? thank you so much for what you all do, Cory & The Wongnotes!
Right?? This interview may be my favorite so far. I fell in love with Live at the Quick and Vic's Amazing Grace almost 20 years ago when I first heard it. To hear him speak to the personality behind his music making and craft with such humility is amazing. The world doesn't deserve Cory and Victor, but I sure am glad to have them both.
Victor... like a preacher of the bass Tao - a spritual way of approaching life... through bass playing :-) Thank you, Cory, for the interview and your natural way of asking questions (also enjoyed the part about TIA the other day - so important to talk about obstacles and what people can make of them. Thats talking about life) Again thanks!
He comes in and absolutely R.I.P.s a bass solo into valhalla and then sits down and gives the most insightful, deep, yet simple and down to earth interview on music and life i have ever seen. Holy shit. And i'm not even a bassist!
I love how Cory conducts his interviews. Not trying to fit in any jokes or comments just for the sake of adding something. He just lets his guests talk and express themselves and it's so pleasant to watch.
Victor says "For me being old is a gift. A lot of people don't make it." What an incredible perspective when you think about the context. Two of my greatest influences as a musician have been Jaco and Victor. That statement hit me. What a blessing it is to have Victor as he gets older, to benefit and hear from his years of experience. And what a gift that he has the mindset to age gracefully. How would the world of music be different if Jaco had gotten help, if we were able to benefit from his music and his journey as he aged through life's experiences?
Victor was a wise man even as a young man. Always willing to share his knowledge and skill. Some of his earlier work featured his parents’ words of wisdom on the recordings. Positive attitude… genuinely nice guy.
Musical technique, if done properly, is like yoga for the hands. The same mind-body principles. So Jako Victorious is like a 90 year old Qui Gong master, his hands are actually getting younger the older his body gets.
I am a 70 yr old man. My smile is so wide right now. I continue to learn so much from this series. Victor Wooten is spot on and he is a kid compared to me. Please keep producing theses gems of music,comedy,funk, and spirit. I wish i could channel Negah and hit the chimes.
I think this time might have been because Sam was tearing him a new one during their solo battle, so Kenni had to break out the high note for the KO, lol.
Victor Wooten is one of the most beautiful and articulate speakers and players in the music world. Perfect fit for the format of this show. Best episode yet.
That’s GOLD! References, taste, creativity, entertainment, educational, artistic, synergy, innovation, homage, respect, giving back, sharing, sharing success, promoting good music, promoting amazing musicians, making people smarter and the most important, HAVING FUN! Man I hope one day get to meet you, as musician and content creator your are a great inspiration! 👊🙏🔥
Was about to write a lenghty elogy, but you've nailed it already. Cory is becoming more and more the renaissance man of YT entertainment, what a treat.
fun fact: that funk jam that Cory & the Wongnotes & Victor were playing at the end never actually ended. some say that, to this day, they're still at that studio, still laying down the funk
"[No one wants to hear a technique. They just want to hear a story. No one is dancing because the song is in Eb, they're dancing because of how the groove makes them feel.]" That's the experience he's talking about. Brilliant words.
I had the privilege to see live Victor here in my very far town (Palermo in Sicily). An idiot in the audience left his cell with the sound on and during a Victor solo a two-note notification sounded! Victor stopped playing for just a nano-second and then played those exact two notes... and with the harmonics! AAANDDD... inserted those two random notes in his solo... and the whole thing sounded fantastic!!! Watta musician... and watta lesson: there are not right notes and wrong notes! It's all in how and when you play the notes!
I saw Cory Wong in Boston early 2020 and as the show ended my buddy and I turn around and Victor Wooten was behind us. Super nice guy and so cool to meet a bass legend.
It's a small thing but i LOVE how they're all actually hanging out while the interview happens, and when Victor says that he KNOWS Sonny listened to vinyl, they're all in the same room.
"For me, Cory, what you're doing, for me, is reawakening the art and the importance and the gift of rhythm guitar." WOW! What a compliment. Well deserved, brother!
That interview should be required for everyone. I know that my family will be watching this tonight and spending some real time talking about the message. Thank you Cory, thank you Victor.
Victor Wooten is an amazing bass player, we all knew that coming here, but that he's a so wise and knowledgeable about people, the world and how to be in it, I never knew. I think having a 30 minute conversation with this man could probably transform you for life :)
Victor, wow. wow wow wow. had no idea he was so wise, he is right about everything he says. thank you so much Cory, you are doing really fantastic work for this community
This man changed my life. 5 years ago I laughed at bassists. After attending one of his clinics, I bought my first bass 2 days ago. His words resonated with me on a different level. Thank you Victor.
I love everything about this show, but I think my favorite part is seeing all the musicians being continually wowed by each others talents. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
I want Vic's "Anything you do can be taken away" answer on a giant poster or something where I can see it everyday. What a beautiful world view and way to express it. Thank you for this interview, Cory.
Wow! Can I just express the gratitude I have for you cats. We lost live music for the last two years, and I knew how much was missing from my life because of that. I used to be on a plane every week headed to a show, or a run of shows and with that being absent, I bought the guitar I'd always wanted, I built a studio in my home and started a podcast. I have the gift of gab, but I'm still a terrible guitar player, but I have those moments where something inside surfaces in the form of a groove that many times I forget how I even played it. I also came to the realization that I'll never be on stage, but that being part of the audience and getting those chills from the band when they are in "IT." and feeding that vibration and sending it back toward the stage it has a reciprocating effect and in a way makes the audience just as integral a part of what's happening on stage as the players. Much love, you guys! Thank you! Made my night!
I'm 10 mins in and this is better than anything i've seen on TV in years. Edit: Victor Wooten's interview was awesome and I needed that in my life. Thank you.
There is so much wisdom coming from Victor Wooten's mouth. His ability to make big musical (sometimes even philosophical) questions understandable and relatable is second to none! In addition, Mr. "thumb down-thumb up-pluck-pluck" is my fav. bass-player.
"The only band that wants Victor Wooten - I've already got that job" That gem went right over so many young bass players' heads.....They think "playing like (insert name) - is how to get known, and calls, and WORK! It's not. You gotta develop your own style, and signature sound !
man i love Victor's sagelike presence and I also can't help but feel happy and proud for Cory when Victor acknowledged his contributions to music. this was such a pleasant watch.
That interview should be required listening for every aspiring musician on the planet. I “liked” Victor Wooten….now I appreciate and love the guy. Holy crap, I’m not a musician, but I need to read his book. And as usual…the Wongnotes are TIGHT! SO cool watching them fan out on that sax solo!
Loves the Victor Wooten interview and the way Cory let him speak. The musicianship on offer from everyone is incredible as ever as well as the amount of fun they all look to be having. ❤️
Mr. Wooten with incredible sage advice. I hope you bring him back, because I learned a lot from this 1 on 1. This was my favorite interview of all your interviews so far, and I'm not even a bass player. Mr. Wooten helped me feel alive through this interview.
sketch comedy, a bit of education, and some live music... bro this is the new late-night-television and it's 100x more entertaining than anything that has ever been broadcast on NBC or CBS
Victor is PREACHIN!...Thank you Cory for this interview. I think EVERY musician needs to hear this, heck, every person...this is LIFE STUFF. Wow!!! LOVE IT. Thank you!
We've gained so much music because of these little isolating machines....I wouldn't even KNOW about Cory and the gang without these new ways to listen to music. Times are a changin, and I ain't sad for those days as much as I'm excited to find new music... for little more than the cost of that 45.. Amazing...
Listening to Victor's philosophy, even as a non-musician, I realize that live music vibrates more clearly. Not just when it's well composed or masterfully played, but when any of us create music, the barriers fall. When Grandma accompanies a grandchild's screeching violin at a family get together, or when a congregation signs a hymn, or when a parent sings a lullaby to a child, music is able to vibrate and touch us. So let's all make some music.
So true. I made a lot of music in my youth (also as a bass player), but since getting a job and having children there's hardly any time. But I sing lullabies to my kids every day. I hum or sing along to music I hear every day. Sometimes I get to sit down at the piano for ten minutes. Sometimes we sing a birthday song to a someone. Now my kids wanted to start music lessons and I hope I get to play with them at some point. All of this is valuable and delivers the full breadth of meaning that music can make.
It's like Mister Rogers Neighborhood for music geeks and I couldnt be happier! This was so freakin good! I mean, all the episodes have been great but Wooten dropping life lessons disguised as music lessons is freakin incredible.
That interview! The questions by Cory really gave Victor room to express so many things that some of us never put in perspective or even considered. This is what art is all about. Expressions of life.
I keep coming back to this interview with Victor Wooten and it always has a profound effect on me, especially when I'm in a low point in life or in my musical journey.
This is the most astounding and entertaining Y/T video I've seen in many months. First and foremost, the musicianship is nothing short of incredible! That said, however, the scriptwriting, set design, camera work, editing, and visual effects are ALL first rate! And the addition of bass superstar Victor Wooten is like the best icing any cake has ever seen! I'm giving this video a score of 15 out of 10! Thank you, Cory and the Wongnotes! ❤️👏🤙
My whole life has been about music since I was 7. Learned saxophone and guitar. Always played in some bands, orchestra's etc. Then I went to study music technology and composition. I didn;t finish it. I developed tinnitus and since 2017 it developed into a pretty sever tinnitus. I almost completely gave up music, I thought I would never play again. But watching this series is so inspiring, I'm having a blast... it's really encouraging me to pick up the guitar and saxophone again. Thank you.
I echo what Victor said about you inspiring a new set of rhythm players, Cory. I actually started on (and still mainly play) electric bass, but I didn’t get good at or even really enjoyed playing guitar the way I do now until I found your music and started learning your tunes and tricks! You really are an inspiration.
VICTOR FREAKING WOOTEN! but wow - The horns are so fire omg. as a metal drummer who used to play trumpet in middle school, this is amazing!! rock on everyone, this is amazing! I was lucky enough to play with a truly great funk bassist for a few years and those times were the most fun I've ever had playing music! Love you Mike Stache!
I can't even describe the joy I felt when I saw a notification telling me that two of my favourite musicians have collaborated Having a video dedicated to bass is also so cool and feels a little too good to be true
Victor in half an interview has taught me arguably the most meaningful lessons about being an artist I've ever hope to have, especially from such an unexpected source. What a man!! And what a show, Cory! You both made me cry tonight!
Can’t thank you enough Cory and Wongnotes for taking the time to write, film, produce, edit and release this. Best thing to watch in YT hands down. Thank you 🙌🏼🍻❤️
Petar's playing face looks like a 13 year old Petar Janjic fan woke up in Petar Janjic's body and can't believe that (a) he's Petar Janjic and (b) he's awesome at the drums!
Didn't think I was going to hear such a deep interview from Victor Wooten. Corey I just happened to find your site by searching for music and what a treat thank you very much for your insight and your musical group Wongnotes are fantastic.
Man, Victor Wooten is by far the most inspirational speaker i've ever heard. Just imagine this man running for president and all his speeches are like this. The amount of life lessons this man can teach us or atleast make us think about is insane.
As someone who’s going to college soon and has been thinking a lot about life and careers, thank you for this incredible episode! Great skits, great music, but most importantly it reminded me of my own values that were once buried deep down. Definitely have a lot to think about as well lol
Victor is such an inspiration. I spent so much time learning his solo stuff, and Billy Sheehan's shredding etc etc. And then one day I had to learn some Duck Dunn lines and finally understood I wasn't even scratching the surface.... and I get more band offers than I know what to do with.
Sensational video. Thanks Cory for making, once a gain, UA-cam a better place. Thanks for having hosted that amazing musician, but even before that, amazing person, who is Victor Wooten.
In awe of the shear amount of content this man produces for us for free.
No kidding. Can you imagine the amount of work that goes into one of these?
Not just the amount but the quality. This is some of the highest quality content on UA-cam.
its not free, you must pay with joy and a smile
Not all heroes wear capes, some wear strats
I click on all the ads for Cory 🤣 monetize it to the moon for him.
Cory is basically giving us the best original music content these days.
He's definitely up there with the best (as is his band), a real joy to watch and listen to!
yeah the least imaginative and original music nut ok :)))
An absolute joy to watch and listen too.
Cory has been my favorite musician PERIOD for that very reason for the past few years. Getting to watch Cory and my other favorite musician sit and chat was just awesome
I love how Victor just drops these prolific wisdom bombs nonstop and then Cory has to find some way to respond that doesn't make him sound dumb in comparison.
look...i voted for kevin and jon, but sam and jay went hard. no denial.....we'll just have to finish writing and record both songs
Cory, what’s the chance you can get the Tower of Power horn section on as guests? A little North meets West collaboration!
I dont think anyone will mind, keep em coming
Did you record winning reactions from each duo?
S & J for the win !
That Philly jawn has been stuck in my head all week! Can’t wait to hear it in full!
man, Victor's interview... makes me feel so inspired and warm. so many lessons to take note of. and them performances too! how is this show free?? thank you so much for what you all do, Cory & The Wongnotes!
Right?? This interview may be my favorite so far. I fell in love with Live at the Quick and Vic's Amazing Grace almost 20 years ago when I first heard it. To hear him speak to the personality behind his music making and craft with such humility is amazing. The world doesn't deserve Cory and Victor, but I sure am glad to have them both.
You should check out Victor Wooten's Groove Workshop. It was a DVD quite a few years ago but you can find it on UA-cam.
@@stickmanbrains thanks so much! will definitely check that out!
For sure definitely agree free content like this . Amazing
Victor... like a preacher of the bass Tao - a spritual way of approaching life... through bass playing :-)
Thank you, Cory, for the interview and your natural way of asking questions (also enjoyed the part about TIA the other day - so important to talk about obstacles and what people can make of them. Thats talking about life)
Again thanks!
NO WAY!!! As a bassist, this is something special-Wooten is an inspiration in every sense.
we are bassist and play geometry dash? hahha
He comes in and absolutely R.I.P.s a bass solo into valhalla and then sits down and gives the most insightful, deep, yet simple and down to earth interview on music and life i have ever seen. Holy shit. And i'm not even a bassist!
For rls
🔥🙌
I love how Cory conducts his interviews. Not trying to fit in any jokes or comments just for the sake of adding something. He just lets his guests talk and express themselves and it's so pleasant to watch.
"It's where Prince is from." - "'very british indeed"
Splendid writing. Marvelous indeed
Victor says "For me being old is a gift. A lot of people don't make it." What an incredible perspective when you think about the context.

Musical technique, if done properly, is like yoga for the hands. The same mind-body principles. So Jako Victorious is like a 90 year old Qui Gong master, his hands are actually getting younger the older his body gets.
I have to think he gets this perspective from having lost one of his brothers too young.
I am a 70 yr old man. My smile is so wide right now. I continue to learn so much from this series. Victor Wooten is spot on and he is a kid compared to me. Please keep producing theses gems of music,comedy,funk, and spirit. I wish i could channel Negah and hit the chimes.
I feel like every episode kenni's high note gets even higher. It's awesome
right? :D
I think this time might have been because Sam was tearing him a new one during their solo battle, so Kenni had to break out the high note for the KO, lol.
My dog can confirm this is the case
Victor Wooten is one of the most beautiful and articulate speakers and players in the music world. Perfect fit for the format of this show. Best episode yet.
Another one that comes to mind is Devin Townsend just by hearing him speak on one interview.
Victor Wooten: "You are enough."
Thank you Victor.
That’s GOLD! References, taste, creativity, entertainment, educational, artistic, synergy, innovation, homage, respect, giving back, sharing, sharing success, promoting good music, promoting amazing musicians, making people smarter and the most important, HAVING FUN! Man I hope one day get to meet you, as musician and content creator your are a great inspiration! 👊🙏🔥
Was about to write a lenghty elogy, but you've nailed it already. Cory is becoming more and more the renaissance man of YT entertainment, what a treat.
You said it all for me, and I love you for it!
where is the innovation dude?
fun fact: that funk jam that Cory & the Wongnotes & Victor were playing at the end never actually ended. some say that, to this day, they're still at that studio, still laying down the funk
"[No one wants to hear a technique. They just want to hear a story. No one is dancing because the song is in Eb, they're dancing because of how the groove makes them feel.]" That's the experience he's talking about. Brilliant words.

It's all in how and when you play the notes!
MICHAEL NELSON!!!! Taste, chops, execution, arrangements..... brilliant work sir.
That's what Im saying!! He's doin incredible
Is it possible that Cory can release a new album every 3 weeks because he exclusively works with people he considers friends?! such a wholesome crew
I saw Cory Wong in Boston early 2020 and as the show ended my buddy and I turn around and Victor Wooten was behind us. Super nice guy and so cool to meet a bass legend.
He (wooten) came to watch?
Man, Wooten is so wise, dude knows exactly whats up, reminds me of that one interview where Bill Evans talks about creativity.
Man! Wooten dropped more "Pearls of Wisdom" in this one interview than many so called experts do in a lifetime. Respect!
It's a small thing but i LOVE how they're all actually hanging out while the interview happens, and when Victor says that he KNOWS Sonny listened to vinyl, they're all in the same room.
I don't think a higher musical compliment exists than Victor Wooten saying your playing is quenching his thirst.
"That he didn't know he had" at that! Just wow!
Which is almost a quote from the Chromeo feat from the first episode
I wouldn't be able to conduct that interview without some embarrassing fanboy energy with Victor Wooten pumping my ego like that
"For me, Cory, what you're doing, for me, is reawakening the art and the importance and the gift of rhythm guitar." WOW! What a compliment. Well deserved, brother!
That interview should be required for everyone. I know that my family will be watching this tonight and spending some real time talking about the message. Thank you Cory, thank you Victor.
Youd have been a cool dad growing up
Victor Wooten is an amazing bass player, we all knew that coming here, but that he's a so wise and knowledgeable about people, the world and how to be in it, I never knew. I think having a 30 minute conversation with this man could probably transform you for life :)
Cory is knocking it out the park with this show, I'm not even sure what it is but I love it. Like watching a new genre being invented.
Its like...skit tv but the main concept is music? Incredible pacing.
Whoa that was one of the best horn arrangements I've ever heard! On the song Direct Flyte.
fyi - it started out as a funk cover of Flight of the Bumble Bee, but Cory and I decided we'd rather do an original tune, so I just twisted it all up.
@@Bone2BWildMusic crazy good writing my friend.
It’s a performance inside the song. It’s layered to perfection.
Victor, wow. wow wow wow. had no idea he was so wise, he is right about everything he says. thank you so much Cory, you are doing really fantastic work for this community
This man changed my life. 5 years ago I laughed at bassists.
After attending one of his clinics, I bought my first bass 2 days ago. His words resonated with me on a different level. Thank you Victor.
I love everything about this show, but I think my favorite part is seeing all the musicians being continually wowed by each others talents. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
Victor Wooten is filled with wisdom. I've learnt so much from this
OMG, they are delivering such high-quality content for so many episodes, it's incredible!
I want Vic's "Anything you do can be taken away" answer on a giant poster or something where I can see it everyday. What a beautiful world view and way to express it. Thank you for this interview, Cory.
Wow! Can I just express the gratitude I have for you cats. We lost live music for the last two years, and I knew how much was missing from my life because of that. I used to be on a plane every week headed to a show, or a run of shows and with that being absent, I bought the guitar I'd always wanted, I built a studio in my home and started a podcast.

Much love, you guys! Thank you! Made my night!
Those horn arrangements are LUDICROUS 🔥
I came here to say this exact same thing. Who writes this stuff?
I'm 10 mins in and this is better than anything i've seen on TV in years.
Edit: Victor Wooten's interview was awesome and I needed that in my life. Thank you.
I love Victor's words of wisdom as much as I love his playing. Spiritual
I've been saving this interview for weeks to make sure I gave it the time it deserved, and I'm so glad I did!
There is so much wisdom coming from Victor Wooten's mouth. His ability to make big musical (sometimes even philosophical) questions understandable and relatable is second to none!
In addition, Mr. "thumb down-thumb up-pluck-pluck" is my fav. bass-player.
"The only band that wants Victor Wooten - I've already got that job" That gem went right over so many young bass players' heads.....They think "playing like (insert name) - is how to get known, and calls, and WORK! It's not. You gotta develop your own style, and signature sound !

Loves the Victor Wooten interview and the way Cory let him speak. The musicianship on offer from everyone is incredible as ever as well as the amount of fun they all look to be having. ❤️
I was sad and I came on UA-cam... And watching this just lifted my soul💙💙💙
Mr. Wooten with incredible sage advice. I hope you bring him back, because I learned a lot from this 1 on 1. This was my favorite interview of all your interviews so far, and I'm not even a bass player. Mr. Wooten helped me feel alive through this interview.
44:53-46:07 What a genuine moment of appreciation of the gift and impact of musicians who make music to make other people happy.
Horns for the WIN.
What a phenomenal conversation. Went a lot deeper than just about music. Thank you for this.
Have a feeling musicians are knocking down the door to get some face time with Cory Wong at this point!
sketch comedy, a bit of education, and some live music...
bro this is the new late-night-television and it's 100x more entertaining than anything that has ever been broadcast on NBC or CBS
I’m mesmerized by Victor’s wisdom. My mind blew up at least a dozen times during his interview. Thank you so much for this!
Victor is PREACHIN!...Thank you Cory for this interview. I think EVERY musician needs to hear this, heck, every person...this is LIFE STUFF. Wow!!! LOVE IT. Thank you!
I learned more from Maestro Wooten in 20 minutes than I would in 20 years otherwise. What a soul.
We've gained so much music because of these little isolating machines....I wouldn't even KNOW about Cory and the gang without these new ways to listen to music. Times are a changin, and I ain't sad for those days as much as I'm excited to find new music... for little more than the cost of that 45.. Amazing...
These guys are making their levels. Horns sound good. EQ is good.
yep, gotta admit that their emotional quotient is pretty superior.
The F and G clefs blending into the ying / yang... the best tshirt ever
Listening to Victor's philosophy, even as a non-musician, I realize that live music vibrates more clearly. Not just when it's well composed or masterfully played, but when any of us create music, the barriers fall. When Grandma accompanies a grandchild's screeching violin at a family get together, or when a congregation signs a hymn, or when a parent sings a lullaby to a child, music is able to vibrate and touch us.

Now my kids wanted to start music lessons and I hope I get to play with them at some point. All of this is valuable and delivers the full breadth of meaning that music can make.
No Words...what a beautiful idea to invite Victor Wooten...Thank you🙏
I always described my role as a bass player like that: "You won't notice i'm there, but you will immediately notice when i stop playing".
Thank you!. I mean THANK YOU!!...."we are what we AR, not what we DO".....Thanks Cory for making these in deep interviews. Music will save us!.
It's like Mister Rogers Neighborhood for music geeks and I couldnt be happier! This was so freakin good! I mean, all the episodes have been great but Wooten dropping life lessons disguised as music lessons is freakin incredible.
"Me expressing who I am is going to make you want to express who you are." That's deep bro. Thank you Cory and Victor for these nuggets.
We need more Michael Nelson Solos!!!! ASAP!!!!
That interview! The questions by Cory really gave Victor room to express so many things that some of us never put in perspective or even considered. This is what art is all about. Expressions of life.
this was so cool and deep. I can´t stop thinking about what was discussed. Thank you !
I keep coming back to this interview with Victor Wooten and it always has a profound effect on me, especially when I'm in a low point in life or in my musical journey.
Damn, percussion player and drummer's playing was just perfect…
Where was this series all my life?!?! Thank you for this.
This is the most astounding and entertaining Y/T video I've seen in many months. First and foremost, the musicianship is nothing short of incredible! That said, however, the scriptwriting, set design, camera work, editing, and visual effects are ALL first rate! And the addition of bass superstar Victor Wooten is like the best icing any cake has ever seen!

My whole life has been about music since I was 7. Learned saxophone and guitar. Always played in some bands, orchestra's etc. Then I went to study music technology and composition.

But watching this series is so inspiring, I'm having a blast... it's really encouraging me to pick up the guitar and saxophone again.
Thank you.
I need Jon Lampley as a hype man in my day-to-day life
I echo what Victor said about you inspiring a new set of rhythm players, Cory.
I actually started on (and still mainly play) electric bass, but I didn’t get good at or even really enjoyed playing guitar the way I do now until I found your music and started learning your tunes and tricks! You really are an inspiration.
That horn section is insanely tight
VICTOR FREAKING WOOTEN! but wow - The horns are so fire omg. as a metal drummer who used to play trumpet in middle school, this is amazing!! rock on everyone, this is amazing!
I was lucky enough to play with a truly great funk bassist for a few years and those times were the most fun I've ever had playing music! Love you Mike Stache!
This interview was pure gold. Incredible episode as expected
This show’s concept is awesome. Thank you soooo much for this.
I can't even describe the joy I felt when I saw a notification telling me that two of my favourite musicians have collaborated
Having a video dedicated to bass is also so cool and feels a little too good to be true
Interview with Victor is one of the best things I’ve heard👍🏼👌🏼Yoda of musician’s
Victor in half an interview has taught me arguably the most meaningful lessons about being an artist I've ever hope to have, especially from such an unexpected source. What a man!! And what a show, Cory! You both made me cry tonight!
Can’t thank you enough Cory and Wongnotes for taking the time to write, film, produce, edit and release this. Best thing to watch in YT hands down. Thank you 🙌🏼🍻❤️
Absolutely flabbergasted, that was an incredible interview!
Oh that interview was amazing! Thanks.
So deep. So profound. One of the best interviews I've seen from any musician. Period.
I loved this so much. Victor and Cory are gifts to the world ❤
Why the heck was I not subscribed to Cory's channel? A mistake of funky proportions :o
Victor Wooten is the Yoda of Music. We all are blessed to hear his wisdom.
The faces Petar makes are such a godsend
Petar's playing face looks like a 13 year old Petar Janjic fan woke up in Petar Janjic's body and can't believe that (a) he's Petar Janjic and (b) he's awesome at the drums!
Victor's just great. And the videography of these pieces are outstanding, congrats.
Didn't think I was going to hear such a deep interview from Victor Wooten. Corey I just happened to find your site by searching for music and what a treat thank you very much for your insight and your musical group Wongnotes are fantastic.
Victor is not only a fantastic musician, but an amazing philosopher! Great program!!
Great stuff! So good to see both Negah Santos (perc) and Jon Lampley (trumpet) from Stay Human in form and blowing!!
Man, Victor Wooten is by far the most inspirational speaker i've ever heard.
Just imagine this man running for president and all his speeches are like this. The amount of life lessons this man can teach us or atleast make us think about is insane.
As someone who’s going to college soon and has been thinking a lot about life and careers, thank you for this incredible episode! Great skits, great music, but most importantly it reminded me of my own values that were once buried deep down. Definitely have a lot to think about as well lol
This video is just seeping both life and musical lessons. Cory and Vic you are both paragons of musicality and creativity
Victor is such an inspiration. I spent so much time learning his solo stuff, and Billy Sheehan's shredding etc etc. And then one day I had to learn some Duck Dunn lines and finally understood I wasn't even scratching the surface.... and I get more band offers than I know what to do with.
Best interview and exchange ever.. Honest life lesson
I'm in awe at how Sonny can slap on a bass with upside-down strings. How is that even possible?!?
Ask Mononeon.
Sensational video. Thanks Cory for making, once a gain, UA-cam a better place. Thanks for having hosted that amazing musician, but even before that, amazing person, who is Victor Wooten.
This recording as such a beautiful thing to exist.
Thanks for creating and sharing it. 💜
