This is everything I want to hear in a guitar. Back, lead, badass fills, compression, jazzy chords, chromatic, unexpected progressions and changes of dynamics...
Yes! I went from thinking no way I could play any of that to actually learning a lot of the notes but gaining a much deeper appreciation for how well Cory plays them.
I've seen Cory play Vulfpeck at Red Rocks twice now. Once with a surprise Fearless Flyers set, what an awesome group of musicians. This made my week :)
So glad Cory has been posting all his stuff as videos, we’d never know he existed outside of UA-cam if we were dependent on radio or print media. I have to think his right hand fingers must get torn up. I usually only batter my index finger for two or three nights a week and it gets pretty sore.
calluses grow on everything it doesn't matter it makes it sound better. you have to harden your hands you don't just start doing this in a day it takes years.
Please put your seat in the upright position, stow your tray table, fasten your seatbelt and hang on for the ride that is Airplane mode. Simply amazing. You always seem to be having such a blast when you play whether solo or with all the other amazing musicians that gravitate to your orbit. Keep ‘em coming Mr Smooth (Jazz - sorry Dave 😢)
I've heard Airplane mode for the time mashed up with frogville in the Live in UK album. Can't get bored with that bright and punchy tone. Can't wait to attend to a live in France 🇫🇷
Really nice soloing. And that ahead of the beat feel is nice and energizing. I naturally tend to be a behind-the-beat guy but you have me wanting to experience with this feel.
So glad I took the chance to see his performance at Beach Road Weekend 2023. I had never heard of him before that, but I'm an instant huge fan. Amazing talent!
Reminds me of guitar sounds on Windham Hill Classics CDs in the mid 80s. Very nice. My new favorite guitarist. So like his stuff and style and freedom.
Honestly this is one of my favourite songs of yours. When I first saw the title I was like huh, wonder why he called it that. Then I heard it and was like, THIS IS THE SOUND OF AIRPLANE MODE OMG! Lol keep rockin Cory, love the new guitar!
I've just listened to this on my freakin phone speaker, and still the tone is amazing

Never before has someone's outfit matched their playing so closely. Simple, clean, NO risks at any cost, and very consistent day to day.
seeing cory without his striped shirt is cursed lol
Best live at red rocks concert ever. The crowd were a bit quiet though.
On the bright side…no need for earplugs!
Cory Wong, the happiest, tightest, funkiest guitarist on the planet!
Thanks so much for that, man 🙏🔥🙏
its the subtle plectrum grab, and then drop, that I never noticed before.
Glad to finally know the name of this piece of music.
Beautiful :)
He uses the same arrangement for another song called "Let's Go!" on the Wong's Cafe EP
Learning this song on guitar taught me so many things! Love it so much

The magic sound of the 4th position in the hands of Cory
Siiiick! Can't wait to be at Red Rocks jammin' with Cory.
He has such a unique style

This made my week :)
I was at that show with the Fearless Flyers encore! That was amazinggggg

He learnt how to promote your music in the 21st century from the best (Jack Stratton)

The precision and musicality is just beyond...he is not really reinventing the wheel but it is so much joy to listen to his uniqueness!!
Love the guitar tone
FOURTH POSITION
I just love all your musical endeavors-I've become a huge fan. I'd love to see you live one day.
yeah ! All the vibes of the jazz rock of the seventies i loved are here...and your touch! respect !

I think you meant to say, "put your seat in the FOURTHright position."
Who on planet earth could possibly dislike this. And how did they multiply 30 times.
LOVE the way Cory plays - the groove and the pocket - amazing. Such a sick right hand.
I've heard Airplane mode for the time mashed up with frogville in the Live in UK album. Can't get bored with that bright and punchy tone.
Can't wait to attend to a live in France 🇫🇷
Awesome! My first concert ever was at Red Rocks. It was UB40 with Midnight Oil and Burning Spear.
dude! you recorded this the day our band played at red rocks! super nice to meet you man, congrats on the new signature guitar!
What band?!
Aah a great guitarist from the Wong clan, keep up the Wong legacy mate...we are proud of yer.
Really nice soloing. And that ahead of the beat feel is nice and energizing. I naturally tend to be a behind-the-beat guy but you have me wanting to experience with this feel.
I love how Cory always references assassin
Glad I found this. Something that shows more than I knew about his music!
When is Victor Wooten gonna do a bass cover of this one? 🤞😁🤞
DAMN! That would fit so well with his style and tone!
Genius!!!
Unfortunately, buying this guitar won't give me Cory's groove :(
My bank account thanks you for this comment.
I can't even get my hands on the guitar where I live :(
A metronome and patience can :). I bet you have both.
it is because the secret is in the Vulf Compressor ;)
His bones have rhythm
Brilliant on so many levels !
Cory Wong was my last concert before Covid happened and I still remember it like it was yesterday!
Please come to Australia 🙏
So glad I took the chance to see his performance at Beach Road Weekend 2023. I had never heard of him before that, but I'm an instant huge fan. Amazing talent!
Very Awesome...its the 1st time ive come across CW..... defo subscibing....incredible skillz
Love that you used the riff in Vulfpeck’s new song 🔥
Yesterday I didn't knew anything about Corey, I cross the archetype, I heared slot of his music, now I can't stop
Cory must have the biggest collection of striped shirts....
He gets them second hand from Pat Metheny.
He's sponsored by Old Navy
He's the closest thing to a cartoon character we have lol
Pat Metheny left the chat 🤣
It's the same shirt mate
This is what a compressor sounds like lol. Great playing as always.
I have watched this video more times than I want to admit. Keep doing what you are doing Cory.
I was one of the first people to listen to his music and I loved his talent and ability to play ever since
Cory Wong, he is a underdog. My new favorite
such clean playin, absolute inspiration
Welcome to my home I grew up here. Oh the parties where you are sitting, can't wait to see you live! Doug ( drummer)
I can listen to Cory all the time. Bravo man.
We've been chillin' in our Mach-E with Cory all week.
For me this is the best guitar performance video that ever existed :) Flawless and so tight.
So nice to see someone utilize the beautiful landscape of the Red Rock amphitheatre as a backdrop. And funky playing as always, Mr. Wong!! 🎸🎶
Reminds me of guitar sounds on Windham Hill Classics CDs in the mid 80s. Very nice. My new favorite guitarist. So like his stuff and style and freedom.
Tuck & Patti probably?
Cory is groove and compression personified
Cory Wong the GOAT
As a Coloradoan who just discovered Cory a few months ago, loved this! Can't wait to see him play The R.Rocks!
New funky king in town!!!
Simply amazing!
They need to add a heart option to youtube videos. Cuz luved it.
I want this as my ring tone 😩
What a crazy tone!
Cory bringing joy one tune at a time!
King of the double stops. \m/
Let's go!
Love it, it's been on repeat. 😁
WHAT? You rock man !!
Always hyped to see cory play!
You had me in the first 5 seconds of the song. Just a perfect song to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Goosebumps!
how much compression do you want?
YES
Honestly this is one of my favourite songs of yours. When I first saw the title I was like huh, wonder why he called it that. Then I heard it and was like, THIS IS THE SOUND OF AIRPLANE MODE OMG! Lol keep rockin Cory, love the new guitar!
it's not a song. It's a tune.
Cleanliness and godliness
This guy is amazing. Wow Cory you are a killer.
Cory we need more solo stuff for you. So good
he is what 'mark king' from level 42 would sound like on a lead guitar.... refreshing change from speed scaling etc
Hi Cory! love your work!
