I'm absolutely a big fan of Corey Wong because at a time whereas the rhythm guitar player is faded for the lead guitar player. I'm a self taught rhythm guitar player and studied the greats from past to present. Corey reopens the door of HOPE for guitar pocket players like me. Thank You Corey For These Great Videos!!🏆👑🏆
"Excessively British riffs" lmaoooo
Passion is contagious. Thanks
Gold 🔥
I can't handle how effen cool these are. Perfect for those of us who adore music and learning stuff. Victor Wooten episode blew me away. Truly entertaining in the best way possible. Corey Wong!
I must have been some kind of saint in a previous life. I feel I don't deserve all this goodness.
Absolutely amazing and inspiring! Nate is one breathtakingly bad motherf'er 🤘🏼😸🤘🏼 Awesome episode 👍🏼👍🏼
Very talented but also annoying. Very self aware with a stank face all the time.
Ten dollars a month is more than I used to spend on the Lemon industry. So in a way it made the lemon grower industry bigger
Brilliant 👏
33:28 remarkable personal philosophy 👏👍
Olympia is one of the best songs i've heard lately. I am alone in my room and it got me giggling, dancing laughing and rewinding it all the way through!!
I wish my musical IQ was higher. I am absolutely certain there are puns / humor in some of the comedy sketches that goes over my head. Even so, I love not only the musical talent, but the also the humor and points made with the humor. The level of creativity is mind blowing… Thank you Cory and and Wongnotes!! See you all live in March '23
The audio engineering on this is absolutely incredible. Sounds like an album rather than a YT video.

The only N.S. forgot to mention when being able to identify certain drummers is:
“Touch”..on their instrument!!!
Nate drumming is divine!
thank you so much for this content that brings Hope in humanity. Squeezify won't have our souls.

As an adult I don't remember ever having such a positive experience as this one: at the same time educational, tasteful and above all, fun. Kudos for Cory and all those amazing musicians. Greetings from Brazil!
The Flutist 😮
The excellence of Cory and The Wongnotes is supreme. Thanks guys!!!!. It is always a pleasure to enjoy your shows.
This is SOOOOO important and well explained.
I've never seen or heard Nate Smith in conversation before (have heard of his drumming as I have one of his loop packages.) Man, what an intelligent, perceptive, aware, articulate and wonderful person he is. And Cory does a great job interviewing him.
That Olympia is the jam….gives me confidence that the world is gonna be alright. Many thanks.
this was so awesome 👌 👏 👍. loved it
haha the medical attention message hilarious
Cory you rock ! your going places bro defiantly going places..
Anyone know what snare drum Nate is playing?
Hi-hat knowledge has almost been lost. Please drummers, find the nuance in the hat.
Cory, how did you feel playing in the same festival & same day with Nate Smith on 2nd day of Java Jazz 2023?
DELETE THE INTRO
26:15 Peter Gabriel on his first solo albums with Jerry Marotta didn't use any cymbals.
i love your content so much, how is this a free youtube show???
Pro drummer here….I have never seen such love and such deeeep understanding for drums by a guy like Cory. I'm absolutely floored by the talent this man has. He is so unbelievably creative and multi-talented. Could he be a film maker? My guess is YES. Is he a monster on guitar? Yes. Bass? Yes. Is he a master bandleader? Yes. Producer? Yes. Engineer? Yes. Song writer? Yes. Comedian? Yes. Philosopher? Yes. Yes yes yes…This guy is so freaking talented. I honestly don't know what he will do next but whatever the next level to his career is, he is ready. I want him to have massive success. I want him to have whatever his dreams are, to be realized. I am just so grateful that he is alive and healthy and will be around for a while. It seems like these guys who are this super talented always have some demons that end up cutting their careers and sometimes lives short and I feel truly blessed that he will be here making music for a long time!!
that squeezify skit is the best one
Looks like the flute solo 8:45 was over dubbed? I was always blown away at this one, but he takes a breath when the flute is still ripping 9:10
How did Cory Wong discover Dave Koz’s acting talent
Thanks for this one! Wow!
It's comical how insanely good the bass and drums are hahaha.
The percussionist at 12:52 just owning it with a shaker. Awesome 👏🏼
The interview is great. Cory and Nate have interesting chemistry
WOWWWWWWWWWWW..mandou muito!
