As soon as he starts playing with the metronome, you hear the metronome grooving WITH him like what Carol Kaye describes. What a monster player.

A very eloquent and intelligent explanation on ‘groove’. When I play bass I have a tendency to play a little ahead of the beat, and a drummer I used to work with had the laziest behind-the-beat snare I’ve ever heard. But when we played together it was like we were joined at the hip and thinking as one. Groove is so much more important than pure military timing.

It only works when it‘s 100% aware

3:34 - 4:00 I was really caught off guard to hear him "cross genres" and play the chords that a lot of guitarists learn as beginners. He didn't refer to it as something "basic" or beneath him, but as another medium through which he can employ his technique. I'd prefer to hear him play funk any day, but it was cool to watch him embrace something different and common for a moment in order to make his point and really make it his own.

I love this for so many reasons, but I love how he has made a virtue of, and can communicate, the value of modern production and recording

Very eloquently described. I've been teaching guitar most of my life and I love well delivered lessons

When I was a kid and I got my first guitar, it came with one free 1/2 hour lesson. That right hand "motor" strumming concept was part of that short lesson. Ska was trendy at the time, and I may have said I wanted to play ska, can't remember. Might have had something to do with it. Anyway I see a lot of guitarists play, and they never learned this lesson. Using exclusively downstrokes or other odd habits. They do well enough, just looks goofy is all. Thinking back on it now, that one single guitar lesson was great. I learned all the chord shapes, how to bar them, power chords, strumming, a few scales, how to read tabs. Gave me a few printouts of tabs of what we covered. It really was everything I needed to learn everything else, all in a short free session.

Cory learned to play the most low volume funk possible at mime school.

Fuck I dont know if it's the guitar skills or if it's how well spoken he is that's got me so impressed

Playing that well in time at only 30bpm is nuts

This is soo cool, I have been doing this while I'm just jamming alone for years and did not realize this was an actual guitar style. Funny thing is I'm also primarily a thrash metal guitar player lol

How can you dislike this ?? I mean i you are a guitar player you can always learn from the masters of their craft and Cory is a funk guitar master!

My gosh... this is the style I've been wanting to learn for 2 decades...... Thanks a million for the lessons!

Really hard to play at this rate without losing expression. Cory manages to keep all of it and more. Now that's funky...

All the old soul guys took the same approach. The right hand always moves at 16ths. A lot of those guys counted in 16ths and then just picked which quarter of the beat they want to come in on. Wooten gives a terrific lecture on this from a bassist's perspective.

I always undrestood the importance of having that 16th note motor going but that huge range of motion that Cory employs really opened my eyes in terms of how that can affect your tone - I'm guessing mainly because of the attack and the chords/strings getting hit in quick unison.. Thx Cory, you rock (I mean funk) !!

Only recently discovered this cat. I love what he does. Very tight and clean.

Great subject and Cory definitely nails it. This is something I'm working on big time as throughout my guitar life I've felt most comfortable behind the beat. The subject of time is really an important subject and a subject often neglected by guitarists.

Such a wonderful lesson. Thanks for sharing!

Cory is so on point with mental focus and accountability with the metronome! Amen!

The first time I see a guitarrist talking about tempo and metronome, always the talk about scales and that kind of things. There is video of two jazz players double bass and drums talking about this and it is the kind of things that moves the music much more than scales.

He uses the same metronome exercise as Gilad Hekselman both amazing players with amazing timing.

The way you right hand move is pretty amazing...

i also highly condone practicing with very simple drum loops/beats the same way you'd practice with a metronome (although I am a bassist ;-)

Huh imagine that, music is about timing and feel. Good to hear someone say it though. Just heard about this guy after NeuralDSP dropped his signature pack. He's a killer player.

Some of the best advice I've ever listened to.

This guy definitely is one of the top 16th note players in his rage bucket.

I've been studying music since 3rd grade... And I've never thought about metronome practice like that. It definitely is 2 dimensional, that's so crazy I never noticed that before.

Guy is amazing. Sounds easy to do, but there's a reason the producers call him, and not me.

A few years ago when I worked with Cory, it was as if we were one. My lazy baselines really brought out his crazy funk rhythm. The studio work was amazing, but when we played live in front of a arena audience, it was incredible. Ha ha, I still remember that dream like it was just last night. Sadly it really was only a dream.

Your wrist is highly loose and flexible ( as it should be ). I'm just astonished @how clean both your finger picking and strumming are!
