Hello. I'm Brazilian and I converted 1 year and a half ago. I started playing at night, but soon I went to church. I play harmonica in services for Jesus! I mean it was the best thing I ever did in my life! God be praised!
Im not even religious, but I was ready to join jesus just to find the blues. That was sooo awsome, it was almost enough to tempt a secular man to become faithful
Psalms 33:3 says "Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise." Each time I pick up the guitar to play the blues it is a new song because even if it is one I have played a hundred times it is always new because I play what I feel so each time is unique. Blues makes you feel good. If your down it picks you up. If your up it makes you feel even better. When I pray I praise God for his blessings and mercy and tell him what is on my mind. That is what I do with Gospel Blues.
Everyone who criticized Larry, please look at his other TH-cam videos. He has everything from old southern gospel to new contemporary style. Thank God for great musicians and worship leaders in our churches. Some churches don't even have one gifted or talented musician and their music is horrible. And if I am right I belive Larry played with The McGruders back in the day, that is real worship music there. Great job Larry!
hey MR.Carter dont let the negative comments question your God given talent. Your gift is from God and you do all who listen justice by giving Him honor. Every Good gift and every perfect gift is from above... YOU BLESSED ME!
Your awesome, keep playing for Jesus!! You help to bring people who other wise might not listen to hear the name Jesus. Now once they hear it they will want to know him. Keep up the good work and good fight of faith!!!!!
I love it. This is music unchurched folks WILL listen to! It is a testimony in the style that people who love the blues will listen to and hear the gospel and be encouraged to Try Jesus! Well done! Pastor you jammin Brother!
I love the blues, i play and sing them every day just about all day sometimes. I dont know many so to speak "gospel blues songs" but every song is someones story of life experiences. I do play and sing some gospel songs that relate to how i feel about God. just as the blues relate to life. Life is short and full of sorrows and troubles so yes i do get the blues. Bro. Larry, tell your story because there is always someone listening who can relate. BTW, very nice playing skills.
My favorite song is Jesus gave he's life for you and me I keep it on repeat all day long because he loves you he gave he's kingdom to all who wants to receive his love ❤️ 😍 💖
OK, for all the Pharisees out there.... The Scriptures: 4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute Sounds that is what Larry is doing to me. Nuff Said Big Ron
Praise God! Thank you brother for the great song and for the wonderful guitar playing! Please don't get discouraged by some peoples comments :-) One in Christ! Outi & Lee
Larry this is wonderful brother!!!! Praise the Lord. If you are open to working with other gospel artist please let me know! Wonderful. Praise him brother!
Talent on loan from God. Some people preach, some people sing, all are giving God the glory. It's not about the spotlight being on the guitar player. In the same I look at a flower and and go "wow thats really pretty - nice job God" I hear a gutiar player who has some chops and go, "Nice Job God" Making a joyful noise. Go LArry.
Thanks for the comments first of all. I pretty much started from scratch on all of my sounds. Thanks for letting me know about the vox unit. i will check it out.
praise the lord...thats awesome guitar brother carter ...your a big inspiration ...thats serious worship guitar right there ...seen ya a couple months ago doing a song ...think it might have been "im a pentecostal" great stuff .....i am middle aged and i like this stuff ...isnt nothing like the Blues might be a sad word but the blues make ya feel so good i love blues guitar and i love GOSPEL BLUES GUITAR even more gospel blues is inspirational to young and old alike Big Thumbs Up...wtg
@mattsmusicstudio i agree this is 2010 and this music does belong in church its phenominal im thinking jesus is saying ya son rip it up for me aint heard riffs like since david played and and danced :-) ...isnt nothing like blues gospel guitar and blues gospel keyboards ..blues gospel is awsesome WTG brother Carter keep it up !!
@Nightmoore It's sad, but you're right. "Christians" are one of the biggest stumbling blocks when it comes to others becoming enamored of the Kingdom of God. They generally mean well, but they manage to effectively push people away. It is my prayer that I never turn someone away from the Lord with my thoughts and actions.
@kidd94 All the greats wore suits when playing the blues! Look at B.B. King, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker, etc. And I think we dress up in church to show some effort that we can at least look presentable in the house of God. One pastor talked about how the night before, young people would go out to the club and wear the nicest clothes and look their best when they're out drinking and partying, but they wouldn't bother dressing up and looking nice for God on a Sunday morning? He put it very well.
Where's all the rest? What a blessing from God to hear this man playing in glory of our saviour! This has inspired to play me to play even better sounding examples of praise to Jesus, No offence meant to this man.
@aldexreyes I guess black church don't really worship God then since they have some awesome musicians that really know how to tear up an organ. I think one should give God their best they have, and Bro. Larry Carter sure is giving God his very best!! And Larry, keep it up!
Many Hymns were unholy by some in their day, laced with the music popular of their day...the praise and worship has been a fight for many churches since the Jesus people movement...Rom 14...One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only...for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge the servant of another? ... Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. Some things don't have set rules...but we must live by our convictions.
For those of you that see a contradiction here, please copy and paste this video title into your TH-cam search for an explanation: Good & Evil / The Gospel and Blues Connection / Cigar Box Guitar This interdependence has been evident since the birth of Gospel and Blues. Understand this, one cannot exist without the other. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy.
This music does belong in church!! "Church" is nothing but a way of thinking... and introducing a different way of thinking into church is what many people need.
Hey Bro. larry when you coming back to CLC in Brookland, Ar.? Cant wait till you do! I hope I know in well ad vance so I can have some cash awaiting tobuy ur cd's LOL...see ya soon!
I don't see anything wrong with including nifty little guitar riffs in a song. We were instructed to make a joyful noise and to praise Him with the timbrel and dance...

Larry used to play the blues in the bars etc.. this is his testimony. He wrote this song. Now he's playing for Jesus. Go Larry!
