I nearly fell off my chair when i saw him with a telecaster, but then i just listened and admired as usual, what a great guitarist, they don't get much better than Larry Carlton !
Awesome playing from all! There is so much going in! And Larry.........Oh My! So melodic throughout the tune, including his blistering solo and fantastic fills! His feel for the guitar just totally knocks me out!
I keep coming back to this video - it is, in my opinion exquisite: stellar performers at the top of their game. The keyboard playing is fantastic and Larry is superb but the engine room is unbelievable. What Chris Kent is doing here is totally fabulous. To swing it so fluidly and to be so inventive - it is aspirational. I would love to be able to play bass like this - he makes it look easy - it isn't. What a star player.
So smooth, although he does use the bridge pickup on the next tune- What tone, but then, what do we expect from a master? czcams.com/video/KmWX2VOEoAU/video.html
Awesome Trio. Great bass n drums, Larry just kills it as usual. That Tele is a 51 model with a great back story. Keith Richards was shown it as it was for sale but he had too many so it ended up being shown to LC and the rest is history. Larry said the back pick up screams.
It goes into Room 335 after the drum solo. Very nice performance. Without a doubt, Larry is the king of the comp. If anyone can do jazz on a Tele, it's Larry.
Well..., there are only three basic chords in blues (may be a few more if one wants to sound more be-bop ish), and even less in tunes such as "So What" or "Maiden Voyage". It took guys like Miles, Coltrane and such a lifetime to find out how to solo over those two chords without repeating oneself and be deadly boring. It takes a genius to play circles around those forms and keep listener engaged. I'm not in position to say in any authoritative way if Larry C. is one of those G. guys but, he does not sound boring to me by any means. I wouldn't mind to hear his way of interpreting "So What" more often. I remember my own college years and countless mish-ups in counting bars in order to stay on track without messing up the form Lol... Believe me..., it's quite a challenge to play around those two chords in convincing way. I tip my hat to Larry for this one... ♫♫ ♥❀(~‿~)❀♥ ♫♫
Yea the '53 my father left me has a resonance that other teles I've owned just don't have. Jazz tone better than '84 ES-175 to my ears. Huge neck and tone control gets dark fast. Puts a smile on every players face.
This Tele was offered to Keith Richards ,but he already had to many and tuned it down, Larry's tech called him and then sent it to him, he loved the tone, the rest is history.
I recently watched Larry tell the story on his Rig Run-down. An amazing story. Also amazing how few guitars, amps & effects he has and uses. Still has the "Steely Dan" Fender Tweed, which was really an unassuming amp, but what a sound!
Larry just raised the bar! That riff is so hard to figure out if you're a self taught like me. I've never seen him solo like this before and love it ... great tone and nice to see him shoulderin' a Tele. Nice segue into Room 335 too :)
Here i am again 2yrs later! This helps get through Covid..Im so going to tab some of larrys solo out! Watch this space il post it on my channel as a lesson😍🥇Cheers from New Zealand
I heard that he can also play the keyboard quite well, but he never does it in front of people. I think it would be cool if he would do it sometimes. He plays the stuff on keys when he learns it, and then he creates the guitar work from that. Genius. His guitar playing is so perfect. I just wish I could see a show where he switches back and forth.
Mr 335's Tele is a very special vintages 50's era that he is getting an amazing tone out of. It really proves a players tone is in their hands/fingers not not so much all the equipment. I could play and tweek my amp and Tele tones for years and only get close. I still end up with a jazz/blues cross tone and not the pure jazz tone I would want to hear. A very special video as I never seen LC play any straight up Fender guitars as he promoted Valley Arts for some time. Thanks!
I love the amazing playing and these guys are the best. For me though I prefer the slower pace that Miles did, it just has that speakeasy jazz house vibe. This is a great take on it but nothing my favorite.
Everyone talks about how fast this but I don't see any issues with that on this particular song. Check out George Benson's version......and then John Coltrane's Impressions is So What with a different head......and listen to Wes Montgomery's version of that tune.
i love how at 5:40 I think the drummer(awesome) was ending up too fast or going too long but you can see Larry drawing him in to the riff and slowing him down. and the look on everyones faces especially the keyboard player behind larry in that one shot.
Some musicians just have fast metabolism. Dizzy, Alvin Lee, Larry Carleton... These guys just burn more calories than the Miles Davis's and Bill Frisells of the world.
Hahaha why did you put his wikipedia up? I know who he is he is definitely no Matthew Stevens, Pat Metheny, Shawn Lane or Alex Machacek, guitarists who i as well as many others consider some of the best ever. Hes a decent musician with far too much publicity, the fact that some people consider him Jazz fusion is ridiculous, you could say this is just my opinion but i dont really think hes some incredible guitar hes good but there are tons of other guitarists who are light years beyond him.
I guess for me I think he deserves credit for being a pioneer in Yes "Jazz Fusion". His era was before the techno wizards that would dominate in the late 70's and early 80's. He's more of a finesse player than speed king for sure. Shawn Lane was a monster and terrible to see him gone. Other greats in today's field are Guthrie Govan and Scott Henderson but I think it took guys like Larry and Lee Ritenour to give way to more tech savvy players in later years. Just my opinion.
Idk man i dont consider him jazz fusion what so ever hes like blues crossover elevator music but hey everyones entitled to their opinion what i might like others might despise and vice versa no hate towards Larry hes a solid player but i think he was a media frenzy thats overrated
Ma surprise c' est que , il y a le plus grand guitariste du monde, et les autres musiciens , que des débutants, aucun commentaire sur le clavier et les autres , personne ne les connaît, on se croirait en politique ; des guitaristes qui défendent leurs héros, et ignorent complètement les autres. Rigth on for the Good people .
I nearly fell off my chair when i saw him with a telecaster, but then i just listened and admired as usual, what a great guitarist, they don't get much better than Larry Carlton !
Teles are some of the best solid body guitars for jazz ever.
Nobody is better than LC
🎉❤
That walking bass was so good clean and really sounded great.
This is one if the greatest guitar solos right here!! Larry Carlton is FANTASTIC!
LARRY FUCKS GUTHRIE GOVAN.
Gustavo Martínez 😂😂😂
Tom Cass Both amazing
Check “kid Charlemagne”, “wanted dead or alive”, “peg” all amazing solos too..But yes ive never heard larry shred!😍🔥
He’s just the best. He’s getting better with age too.
Brought a happy tear to see my old gig/session partner, the late Chris Kent on bass. The band is cookin'!
Bad news, Larry: Keith Richards called and said he wants that Tele after all. LOL
The Tele says no. Says it has grown out of Keith somehow. No hard feelings though!
Great tone coming from that Telecaster!
And is all neck pickup. Leo knew what he was doing...
Larry knows what he's doing.
Leo came first...
Love the neck pick-up on the Tele.
I'm no Larry Carlton, but my Tele never came alive until I replaced the neck pickup with a Lollar humbucker.
Larry Carlton never ceases to amaze me, and on a Telecaster, wow! Smokin’ band too!
That drum solo!!! Im looking him up right now🥇❤️
Moyas Lucas ~!~ Absolutely INCREDIBLE bass player ~!~
Dear lord have mercy😭
Theyre all monsters, what a band , wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love that terrific bass, Fabulous.
Wow Larry bopping it out.. Never heard him shred like this nice1 Go the tele!
Dude. I've seen LC play bebop all night long. He also plays the other stuff too. Larry is actually right up there with the jazz legends.
@@guitarttimman he’s the man love Larry!
@@wadesharp11 👍
If anyone requires a definition of the word skill, well this is all you ever need.
Not for me
One of my favorites from Larry.
Larry Carlton's- So What!!!!!
No matter how many times I see Larry, I am always astounded by his musicianship. Light years ahead.
Awesome playing from all! There is so much going in! And Larry.........Oh My! So melodic throughout the tune, including his blistering solo and fantastic fills! His feel for the guitar just totally knocks me out!
I could ride on this groove all freaking day - so.fucking.hip.
Wow, what an up tempo version. The speed and perfection of all the musicians is just out of this world!
That was one finest performances I have ever seen
Saw Ed Bickert get a great tone out of a tele at a jazz festival: amazing. Larry Carlton kicks here!
Ted Quinlan , too.
And Ted Quinlan , too.
Guys, Mike Stern played on a Tele for half of his career and on a replica up to now...
Rare to see Larry max-out playing, Jesus his bebop improv skills are insane I had no idea!
An absolute master!

Tele magic all from Larry's hands warmth, smooth, clean, a master! That rhythm pickup through whole set!
So smooth, although he does use the bridge pickup on the next tune- What tone, but then, what do we expect from a master? czcams.com/video/KmWX2VOEoAU/video.html
What a sick band the great players always want t play with the best
Beautiful! God bless you Larry Carlton!
Great band.
Superb
the great amazing Fender Telecaster ! the one guitar to be played in every facet of music
Awesome Trio. Great bass n drums, Larry just kills it as usual. That Tele is a 51 model with a great back story. Keith Richards was shown it as it was for sale but he had too many so it ended up being shown to LC and the rest is history. Larry said the back pick up screams.
What command of the instrument Larry has.plus taste and class.
LOVE the Tele!!!!!!
Here's Larry playing a MILES DAVIS tune on the guitar and doing it the RIGHT WAY! Now that's real entertainment.
It goes into Room 335 after the drum solo. Very nice performance. Without a doubt, Larry is the king of the comp. If anyone can do jazz on a Tele, it's Larry.
I love Ronny Jordan's version but watching sir Larry tear it up on a butterscotch Tele is too cool.
Larry makes Ronny Jordan's version sound boring
Larry can match George Benson when he wants too. The guy is phenomenal.
Great cooking band.!
I enjoyed this very much.! Thanks
SICK!!!
Great band here
What a great band!!

RIP Chris Kent, a sweet person and blistering hot bassist!
WOW!! These guys were in the pocket! Drummer and bassist were solid. Nice to see Larry play a Tele!
Hey Larry! Nice noodling! Great keyboard solo!
Yea the '53 my father left me has a resonance that other teles I've owned just don't have. Jazz tone better than '84 ES-175 to my ears. Huge neck and tone control gets dark fast. Puts a smile on every players face.
Blessed you are😎😎😎 What a gift! RIP for your Father - just lost mine this Christmas..
Great band very very nice
As soon as i got his signature guitar as my first i accidentaly became a part of his fanbase and i love it)
..y me encontré con esto...yesss.

Aaaahh the Room 335 change!What relief..bravo
Who else is here from Larry's PG Rig Rundown?
I am. I guess I’m not the only one who wanted to hear the Tele. Beautiful!
Me
you know it
Yup...

This guy, what a talent at his craft... of course is unique Larry Carlton
wonderful performance!
All I can say is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!!
One of the most tasteful guitar players ever. Wicked. 👍
Smokin!!! thanks for uploading.
Hooray!
Everyone talks about how fast this but I don't see any issues with that on this particular song. Check out George Benson's version......and then John Coltrane's Impressions is So What with a different head......and listen to Wes Montgomery's version of that tune.
Nice to hear a different take on it.
This sounds almost like one of the Earthbound RPG songs when you fight against a mobile opponent.
Wow! On a tele no less! :)

Bravo, Larry.
Oh my God. This is freakin GREAT.
That is awesome music.
I've been listening to L.C. for forever,but this band he is playing with,is" The Band"that he should be with...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🇵🇭🇮🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏⛪⛪⛪⛪🎸🎸🎸
Yea Larry.
Soaring over the top...like SuperMan! What a complete musician. And the rest of the band are members of this SuperGroup with capes of their own!
Wonderfully well played fellas
amazing stuff here......was cool transition to 335 was.......ohhhhh.....wow...
Some musicians just have fast metabolism. Dizzy, Alvin Lee, Larry Carleton... These guys just burn more calories than the Miles Davis's and Bill Frisells of the world.
Mighty fine playin right there
Larry's always been the man, those thumbs down folks .. What the heck are you hearing? :)
A guy that is pretty overrated lol
Overrated? Wow! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Carlton
Hahaha why did you put his wikipedia up?

amazing
Ma surprise c' est que , il y a le plus grand guitariste du monde, et les autres musiciens , que des débutants, aucun commentaire sur le clavier et les autres , personne ne les connaît, on se croirait en politique ; des guitaristes qui défendent leurs héros, et ignorent complètement les autres. Rigth on for the Good people .
Saw him live at the Caravan of Dreams Jazz Club in Ft Worth, Tx early 90’s
EXCELENTE..................
