Playing a Cory Wong signature in anything other than position 4 feels illegal. Also jacks guitar playing doesn't get as much recognition as it deserves, the man laid down both of those tracks in one take
Check the clock on the screen. Then video starts when it shows 11:36am and when he finishes the bassline it is 11:42am. So yeah, he definitely did it in one take. You underestimate session musicians@@jtn191
@@jtn191 I mean, after Cory Wong's claim that Vulfpeck does not rehearse I feel like it is more likely Stratton did do this video in a single-take, just to preserve that "first take" magic
I know in a sense this is marketing for the masterclass, but imagine making a masterclass and then sharing amazing lessons from it for FREE. I loved the Stevie Wonder one, and I really appreciate this. Thanks Jack.
I'm surprised so much of the class appears to be making sounds...as opposed to mixing those sounds. There is cross over. But I'd like to see a sample where he's talking about mixing. Generally getting the sounds is one thing...then mixing is another.
@@oinkooink I'm now wondering if this 'mixing masterclass' is a joke. There's nothing in this video in terms of mix techniques or concepts that could be useful in another context. Also, the gain staging is completely messed up. If this works for him, great. But don't call it a 'mixing masterclass'...
Great to see Jack Stratton acknowledging the Titans of funk R&B, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards (RIP) of CHIC. But I've been listening to Sister Sledge (try "Thinking of You" and "You Fooled Around" before playing their hits) and... CHIC is on another level. Tony Thompson (RIP) is a rock drummer beast that Nile and 'Nard kept on a tight leash, his feel can't be matched by a drum machine, then they often brought in Sammy Figueroa on percussion (the tubular bells on "I Want Your Love", the sleighbells on "You Fooled Around", the congas on "Thinking of You"!!). Rob Sabino's sparkling piano is 😘(on all those tracks, also the killer "Spacer"; the piano fills on Vulfpeck's "Disco Ulysses" are a sweet homage). Then CHIC could hand the chords to Nile's rhythm guitar OR Ray Jones/Andy Schwartz on electric piano OR the neutron bomb weapon, the CHIC strings. And behind the lead singer, the twin female singers and the unheraldedd Fonzi Thornton singing those insistent choruses. As football commenters say, "So. Many. Weapons." All while leaving more space than today's 100+-track stems on a DAW, with that fabulous honeyed warm sound. I'm not pulling a tired "Today's music cRap get off my lawn!" Vulfpeck isn't just slavishly copying old school, they're making their own good music; "Vulfpeck Live at Madison Square Gardens" is one of the greatest live show videos of all time. But, folks, listen to the people who inspired them. There's gold in them thar vinyls.
Saw Nile Roger and CHIC play in November, they played an incredible medley of different songs Nile had a significant hand in writing. Anything from Bowie to Sister Sledge tracks. Nile is an absolute legend, still a mind blowing entertainer at 71.
OT: I love that brand of sweater, it is "College by Marcazzani" an Italian brand that unfortunately has closed its production. I have many of them in different colours. This one is awesome.
Fun! I've been watching a lot of writing and recording interview videos of another Jack, Jack Antonoff, lately. Another genius in a different genre. Would love Vulf to play Los Angeles and tour again!
Dear Jack, Will the preview sessions possibly include quotient graphing and sketching for ideal cowbell placement? Or will that only be available to Patreon subscribers at this stage? Asking for myself. LT 🧩
"And this is a little Nile Rodgers technique - all of this is Nile Rodgers: we're in the neck position with La Bella flats on a Cory Wong strat" So nice of Nile Rodgers to name one of his guitars after a Vulfpeck song
Dearest Vulfmon, your sweater is wonderful, and I love your approach to simultaneous tracking-mixing. However, I believe the spatial relationship between the whimsy and the funk in this 'bass-line style' would more aptly inhabit the nomenclature of, "Verdine-Henning Ørsted White". P.S. My most sincere apologies, but the grøøve has been appropriated.
I want all the major broadband companies to pay blanket license fees to PROs because they’re the ones actually broadcasting to our devices. Streaming services just host the audio on their servers. You take away internet access and you can’t stream. Treat it like radio! I’m still on board with your 90/10 fan centric model too, and stereo lol.
Although he can't party, he sure does know how to start one. What a groove.
The Stratton Paradox
I'm going to steal this groove!
Don't let them steal the groove!
@@hendrik1834 You're too late spida-man! I've stolen Jack Stratton's groove!
G goddamn....
Someone stop this madman
I was thinking of commenting this exact same thing, happy to see someone else did and it’s the top comment lol
I can see why Jack Stratton is where he is
mustve moved in at some point
I can see where he is too, so what?
Me on my way to steal this groove
**reads title**

He seems to be improving on guitar

I'm surprised that you've been sharing so much stuff from the class
He must be doing something right cause I've never opened Logic in my life and somehow I'm still considering taking this class hahaha
The whole course is almost 5 hours, so I guess a few clips from the course will not give too much away
theres probably decent money in spilling sauce.

We cannot guarantee whether or not the others engage in illicit funk activity, but I can say that I want to properly enroll in the class.
5:38 when Jack realizes he’s created a high tier bop that must be protected
Feeling like the Finding Nemo fish at the dentist office:
“He’s using the Lynn method”
*”Ah, he’s been favoring that one.”*
You are awesome man, only possible because of the humilty. Giving Nile his props and just being honest about the process, couldn't ask for more.
your time is fucking insanely good, the guitar tracks sound damn near quantized while youre laying them down
it's rhythm, babe

Brilliantly funky! Nice separation and cross side syncopation.
As someone named Lin and a big Vulf fan, this was a fun video to listen to.
"Ship it off to Antwaun" 🤣
Thx man for sharing mastery.
I'm on Vulfneedle more than 5 years!
Making that guitar part look easy!
OT: I love that brand of sweater, it is "College by Marcazzani" an Italian brand that unfortunately has closed its production. I have many of them in different colours. This one is awesome.
Like a bluesy Darwin Derby!
I came here to suggest the same thing! I love when they use their own material and breath new life into it! Jack I look forward of many more concerts!
Hot damn this gets the creative juices flowing
Fun! I've been watching a lot of writing and recording interview videos of another Jack, Jack Antonoff, lately. Another genius in a different genre. Would love Vulf to play Los Angeles and tour again!
Thanks man I really enjoy watching you playing on defense a lot and then wining the game
Thank you so much for letting us into your process, most dudeliest of dudes.
Not only Earth Wind & Fire, I am 100000% sure you are inspired by Stevie Wonder's Isn't She Lovely vibe ❤️✊🏻
He has mentioned Stevie Wonder on a few occasions
the amount of musical knowledge this man has blows my mind
Just enrolled my studious ass after watching this one💥Prepared to learn capitan
Love it! I’d love to hear it with some tambourine as well!
This is going into my grooves collection
Super inspiring stuff! What a dirty groove :)
Jack is a gift to humanity
Jack out here making covid-era content in 2023
"Ship it to Antwaun" is such a producer sounding thing to say. I might use that completely out of context.
I gotta sell my insurance to get both Bernard Edward + Verdine White and Nile Rogers + Al Mackay combinations that Jack mentioned😆
The greatest dancer
Stolen, stealth mode
We must protect this man, he truly is a gift to the world.
Thanks you sir
That equalizer is great🎵🎸🎄🎅👍👏👏👏
Thanks, Jack.
Thank you Jack!!!
"Just ship it to Antwaun" is now my motto

Had big plans to steal this groove. Shucks
Omg how can he play this tight... Maybe because he also plays the drums 🥁 😏
Well, looks like its groove stealin time!
Instructions unclear… I actually stole this groove
Dear Jack,

Asking for myself.

🧩
The fact even vulf are using the God Particle is crazy
this is so good
Rhythm is life.
Genius!
Step one: be ridiculously talented and probably practice so much
I think he just wrote Darwin Derby II
So good it made me late for a family dinner.

You know woodie goss’s wife’s brother is my science teacher

You know it's funk when people get that scrunchie little face thing happening

(fyi; I love funk music and cats! In spite of their farts.)
I'm stealing it right now
"And this is a little Nile Rodgers technique - all of this is Nile Rodgers: we're in the neck position with La Bella flats on a Cory Wong strat"
So nice of Nile Rodgers to name one of his guitars after a Vulfpeck song
it’s funky and it’s low volume
Feels gool

Jack put vulf compressor on his eyes to make them more blue
I wanna buy it the class, but 250 usd is like 370aud and that's very expensive

Is the picture propped up against the wall the Japanese flag??? I think so but I'm not sure. I'm so curious as a japanese
What are the best Linn LM-1 plugins???
OC GROOVE DO NOT STEAL!!!
I feel like every Vulfpeck member is just Jack wearing a mask underneath.
My Guy literally printing money over here 😵

Haven't seen a Lin sing like this since Manuel Miranda
This is recorded on a Hollywood sound stage right?
Nice

TY
What headphones are those?
