3 Mistakes Rhythm Guitarists Make with Cory Wong

How do you keep your rhythm playing funky fresh? 💥

Cory is a very good teacher..

Is there too much information?

Awesome video with some great advice.

I like tip # 3. I've been trying to get thru a James Brown funk tune,whereas the guitarist plays the same rhythm for the entire tune. I'm not there yet. I always find myself wandering off.

Too much hype for this guy.

Everyone needs to see this video

great info thankyou!!!!!!!!

🤯I just knew this guy was British.

What I noticed more than anything was the fluid, loose movement of your right wrist that gives such punch to your rhythms. Master class.

Great lesson thanks

What amp is that?

Only three?
Guirarists need to make dozen of mistakes to be good.
Tons more to be great.
Most of the time it's enough to be dependable.

Nobody ever told her it's the Wong Way - Sublime

Pure wisdom!

Surely this guy’s strum hand was not trained on the guitar.

Fantastic musician and excellent insights here.

Brilliant......👍

That right hand wrist motion is inhuman. He just kinda flails it perfectly, it is incredible.

Excellent advice. I was just thinking of these exact things earlier today. People underestimate the importance of a good rhythm hand.

This is GOLD. Thank you Cory and Sweetwater!

Fantastic.

A great player I knoew has always said ignore the leftt hand that will come but the right hand is the absolute key. brilliant lesson !!

What a fekkin' great lesson!!! superb playing as well!!!

mistake 4, action too low having notes buzzing all the time killing clarity and note separation.

can u tell me some details about ur guitar it sounds awesome, i have the same Fender stratos like urs with two strings tree but really i cant find if its original or faked .

Now I know what voicing is.

The theme of the whole video was summed up brilliantly by Wrecking Crew guitar legend Louie Shelton. When Larry Carlton asked him how he crafted such perfect parts, he told Larry: "I don't think like a guitar player, I think like an arranger."

You have to compromise on how many strings you’re playing on the guitar because you have TWO keyboard players? …Eeeeh.. Well, I’d say there is an obvious solution to this problem, don’t you think? 😂

Good advice !!

Smart guy, good communicator, great player...very nice to see great young guys like him coming up.

need this video but piano comping version...

This video is so high-yield

Dave Grohl said that when he plays his guitar he also plays it as his drum set. That's what I'm getting from you. Made me a better guitar player. A better rhythm guitar player.

Silly Cory, I never make miskates.

Highly informative! And your technique is really awesome too!👍

Mini chords can't be understated. Thinking of Rick Derringer's Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo during the verse.

Let's all go to school. Deal with your EGO. Nice contract

am i in a band? no. Do i play guitar? no. Did I still watch this? Yes!

You're doing it wong.

Anyone else think his right hand looks like he is hitting a Stratocaster with a dead octopus?

His right hand looks like a hummingbird holy crap...

Corey: great tips for the sound enginners too, like me pal, so thanks

Very good advice on the voicing; I can absolutely notice a difference. To be fair, I play mostly metal through a very high gain amplifier with an additional OD pedal pushing the mids in the front. That being said though, from my experience, gain and distortion have to be utilized correctly and wisely when considering the voicings, because the more notes you add, the crazier the tone can get. It loses that edge; that definition and punch that heavy music is built on. Praise be to power chords LOL

Your wrist broken?

that is a gorgeous guitar

Cory has a great right hand .

Mind-boggling rhythm chops. Love it

O my God,what a punching onthe strings, O wonderful.
