Ernie Ball: BIG SOUND With Cory Wong

Ernie Ball is proud to introduce the latest episode of their new artist session series: BIG SOUND. Episode 3 features Minneapolis-born virtuoso Cory Wong!

In this episode of BIG SOUND, Cory and his all-star band—Petar Janjic (drums), Yohannes Tona (bass), Kevin Gastonguay (keys), and Adam McPhail (guitar)—serve up a set at the legendary Robert Lang Studios in Seattle. Known for hosting icons like Nirvana and Soundgarden, this storied space was the perfect backdrop for Cory’s genre-blending grooves. “I chose songs that showcase my guitar playing in a way that’s different from anything I’ve done before,” Cory explains.

Ernie Ball’s Big Sound offers an intimate, cinematic experience that delves into the heart and soul of today's most innovative musicians. Filmed in personal spaces that hold significance to the featured artists, each episode offers exclusive performances with state-of-the-art audio and visuals.

whoever's doing the mix has to get a raise and an award🔥🔥

[xms]

How is it possible that every bit of sound or every beat is so appealing and tasty that you don't want to miss any of it, not a fraction of a moment?

[melvinsilalahichannel]

funk always brings happiness, thats for sure

[abenezerbekabil]

Oh the bass is insane!! I love everything!

[MrJab-hvwt]

I absolutely love it! Pure funk… So cool to see Cory on solo parts!! 🔥🔥🔥
All thes musicians are over the stratospher! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[joseduenas]

Probably my favorite version of team sports

[nathanminert]

I love watching Kevin play. Petar- the solo that made it in the video was killer, the other take must've been insane 😂

[JaneNelson-Kroeger]

Thank you Cory Wong! I so very appreciate what you bring to our musical experience in life! I share your amazing contribution daily ! :)

[prognosticouture]

Amazing job guys! You all killed it, I love those solos and love hearing how those first two songs had a lot of empty space filled with parts that fit like puzzle pieces. Stellar work!

[iamthemoneyj]

I love this band, I love ebmm

Amazing video. Thank you to all involved!

[ramsonk]

feels so weird to see cory so laidback and not running off of a 9V battery like always 😭😭 hope he comes to bangalore India on his tour next year

[maya]

There’s something very lovely about the mix on this. Yohannes more punchy? Crystal clear Petar? Warmer Cory?

It’s a Cory Wong mix - but more

[mvalencia]

This is fine musicianship, very nice fellows

[ashikabbasali]

Great to see this live love feedback on my original guitar instrumental played by me and composed by me and graphics by me

[bennettmichaels]

[ytwallabang]

Soft launch of Adam McPhail in the band rotation?? Recently found him through Petar's Uncle Bronco, great player!

[AsHat]

so insanely hard to play the bass so flawlessly like that. Perfectly set up instrument too.

[mattromano]

That team sports bass is like pulling spaghetti outa wet paint, just drippin!

[SanNjig]

That’s an amazing fender commercial. I definitely want to buy that Strat

[paulhoward]

Not the dry mix Cory usually favours, but I love it.
