Not only does Larry Carlton have the greatest overdriven jazz tone in history but he also has by FAR the greatest mullet in jazz history as well. Can you name a greater one? Yeah. That's what I thought.
Larry has great tone, but none touches Robben ford on the tone department imo. I might be biased because Robben is my all time favorite guitar player, but his tone is just imaculate
He is amazing! I like this rock influence sound here. It's the best that they have ever done for this song. Strikes Twice is also another one of my favorites that I like better when he puts the distorted rock sound into it. I want that shit loud! That's how I like it! Loud and raw!
Larry Carlton, himself, needs to come back to this video, watch it, and start playing this song just like he did here! This is the BEST performance that I have ever seen him do for this particular song! I LOVE the rock mixed with Jazz sound. That is so awesome!
Larry is one of the greatest in ANY style of Jazz period. He can sit down and play you 300 traditional bepop Jazz numbers. I seen the man play Charlie Parker stuff to the T. Get it right. LC is a guitar GENIUS who sometimes, granted, played some weird shit lol, but he could do it all and at a level that is above most guitarists in the entire world. This guy is so real. You wouldn't believe what he can do when he wants to do it.
@@jimSTRATemblin He did play smooth jazz at times, BUT, he also played the most sophisticated guitar music in the world. Look up Larry Carlton plays Miles Davis. Man! You wouldn't believe what he can do when he really chooses to do it, but sometimes, yeah, he'd play weird shit! LOL
every time I watch this great video of Larry Carl-~Tone~, I always keep hoping that his amp holds up!!!! Talk about hopeless romantics?!?! That's me~!~
Thanks for the info on the Evans amp! I'll check it out! What a bummer for Larry, right at the closing statement of his trademark song too,, oh well, poop happens!
@@guitarttimman I could swear it's Joel. Same nose, same facial expressions when he plays. His hair is a little longer but he was just coming off of a long 12-year gig with Spyro Gyra and so probably wanted a remake.
It wasn't. Aja came out in 1977, while Room 335 is from the 1978 Larry Carlton album. Larry was also heavily involved in the making of Aja and played on several tracks, in addition to his role as an arranger.
Sure Larry was inspired by Peg,, but the songs are really as different as spring and fall~!~ Fact~!~ And remember,,, Donald and Walter favored Larry over most other studio guitarists. Fact is Larry was their "go-to man" whenever they couldn't get what they wanted from the other studio guys,, and these were NO SLOUCHES WHATSOEVER~!~ Larry Carlton is arguably the very best ""over-all guitarist"" ever~!~ His style is coined,, "The Carlton Sound". He delivers-the-shivers~!~!~ No other guitarist other than maybe Robben Ford EVER did that to me~!~!~!~
Me too, I gave away milk crates full of LP's but LC and Robin Fords 1st solo LPs werent in those crates Hell I still have 9-10 of my old 8 track fav, out of hundreds keeping only those that never get old to the ears .Jimi,Zep,Trower ,etc lol , tape probably has gummed to itself but yes sir i can relate
This might piss off some people, but now is the time for the truth and reason sometimes got that goofy smile on his face. The master Jazz Guitarist can cover ANY of the other styles. Yes! Larry could have sat down for maybe 3 days and covered EVERYTHING Van Halen did. Larry can play str8 up bebop all night without stopping. He knows just like I do. LMAO🤣
That could sometimes require a minute of discussion possibly a rrun thru heaven help us all ,rehearsal; ,that would cut into my drinking time personally but as long as the drummer caps it ,then it's a good ending lol
In the early 80's I bought a Boogie in hopes of sounding more like Larry , didnt help much and too loud was often heard in the lounges , Later a couple of 335's that helped some and still my main axes but knowing even then it's all in the touch on that fretboard some p;layers you just know on the first couple of notes LC is one
Im sitting here laffin to myself about the bad vibes on the mullet era , I too fell into it with hair down my back and ears showing , but it served its purpose , when the cops were around , tuck it under your shirt you looked like the rest of so -called proper society when in your element let the flocks flo , same as appling for jobs . Id wear a mullet today if I could afford to cut the sides off whats still there lol ,Billy Ray Cyrus started that s**t I think and I dont like the guys musc but my mullet was better too.
@@eddgong we all do silly stuff when we're young,, just full o' piss n' vinegar as the saying ACCURATELY goes! Same as doing drugs back then,, stupid frikken shit!!!! I look back to my parents, my mom, my grandparents ..... they never touched that shit,, and never even thought about that crap!!!! It's named accurately: "dope", "weed", "whacky-weed" "Crack" !!! Fucking stupid, stupid shittttttttt~!~
This video reaffirms that I do not like the sound of P-90s. They are just so harsh sounding IMO, no subtlety whatsoever. Great for grungy power chords or nasty Blues though...
Actually,, it's more about the amp you use, and of course,, the quality of the speakers. Guitar tonality gets mushed after the volume is up past it's "clean-zone". Most guitarists exaggerate tonal differences especially when, as I said, the player turns up the volume beyond the clean-zone/safe zone(s) on amp and/or guitar. Larry Carlton used his Fender Tweed many times in the studio for Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, and he talks about how he would only turn the volume up just as soon as a little "grit-growl" could be heard, but NOT DIRTY!!! I owned a 1954 Les Paul with original "P-90's" and it was awesome! Besides the amp, speakers, and of course,, a good guitar,,, it's the hands of a good player such as Larry, arguably the BEST overall guitarist in history!!! Even the late Joe Pass, who gave Larry some lessons years ago, thought Larry was the real-deal~!~
Great player but a dreadful poser. Having admired his records for years but never having seen him, with the advent of TH-cam seeing him for the 1st time put me off him.
I absolutely love the Jess Lewis version of this song. Having said that I had to go out and listen to some Carlton versions since it is his song after all. Sadly with the big grin on his face in most of them the word "poser" entered my mind also. One version he played with a lot of intensity but a lot he seemed to just phone it in. This song can sound great or sound like elevator music and it is easy to go in either direction. I am sure many disagree with my opinion, but the beauty of being human is we all have the right to our own opinions. :-)
@@DrummerDanVa Opinions are like assholes,, everyone's got one,, but who wants to see it?!?!?!?! Geeez Loueeezzzz!!! Are you serious??? Your as shallow as your reflection~!~ Oi veyyy!!!
Good god what a stupid thing to say! The style is of its time and Larry always smiles at gigs even to this day as he is a happy chilled guy who loves playing with great musicians. And frankly if I could play like Larry and achieved all he has I would be smiling too!
Not only does Larry Carlton have the greatest overdriven jazz tone in history but he also has by FAR the greatest mullet in jazz history as well. Can you name a greater one? Yeah. That's what I thought.
I mean the latter, no, but I’d argue EJ’s lead tone would suit jazz perfectly
@@AlibifortheAfterlife Al DiMeola has crazy fusion tone as well.
Mate you Marcus Miller and else bye kk
Holdsworth/early 90’s lane
Larry has great tone, but none touches Robben ford on the tone department imo. I might be biased because Robben is my all time favorite guitar player, but his tone is just imaculate
Larry Carlton is one of my favourite guitarists. Why? He just makes playing the guitar look so easy.
Steve Bailey on six string fretless bass. Tone and intonation are impeccable, and he playing rock solid pocket...respect.
He is amazing! I like this rock influence sound here. It's the best that they have ever done for this song. Strikes Twice is also another one of my favorites that I like better when he puts the distorted rock sound into it. I want that shit loud! That's how I like it! Loud and raw!

There's no disputing the truth: This is the best version that Larry has ever done. He should've kept it like this all throughout his career.
Wow,,, it's beautiful to see Larry looking at each player and smiling because of how tight they got it,,, makes me smile toooo!!!
Larry should've listened to this one over and over and said to himself, "what I did here was anything but boring. I'm keeping this sound."
Without a doubt one of the greatest smooth jazz guitarist this world with ever hear and see.
I hate the term “ Smooth Jazz”
He did hella more than smooth jazz. That was later in his amazing career.
Smooth Jazz is cheese
Larry is one of the greatest in ANY style of Jazz period. He can sit down and play you 300 traditional bepop Jazz numbers. I seen the man play Charlie Parker stuff to the T. Get it right.

I have to laugh out loud at such music - so joyful to hear.
one of favorite guitarists. amazing.
LOVETHIS SONG

This is the one of best play on room335.
I think the best I've seen.
@@guitarttimman then check Matteo Mancuso’s rendition th-cam.com/video/3jdU-azCaZU/w-d-xo.html
@@mactekkos Matteo is sick! May I say One of the best guitarists alive? His version is awesome!
美しい。ただただ。美しい。素晴らしい。それだけの、、名曲ですね。
John Ferraro on drums! Yes!! One of the best.
Actually I think it's Anton Fig, who went on to play with the David Letterman band.
I am taking about this video with Larry Carlton. The drummer with him in this video!
@@Cvitandrums Sorry. You could be right. I just sent this to John to let me know if it is him.
I will get back to you.
Thanks.
They do look very similar, especially with this grainy footage
@@Cvitandrums Drummer looked like Joel Rosenblatt to me, near the end of the solo.
Hey,,, what a tease,,,! Please,, post some more of this show,, this is torture,,,!
Beautiful playing, really unique on the tele
Never heard of this guy until I heard this on song pop facebook..holy shit...I love it~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes,, I first heard Larry in 1978, and I was STUNNED!! And forty years almost, later,, I get the very same reaction,,, goosebumps!!! LOL!!!!
Thanks for the info on the Evans amp! I'll check it out! What a bummer for Larry, right at the closing statement of his trademark song too,, oh well, poop happens!
The band is on! Larry is so good. Looks like Jaco on bass, but sadly he passed prior to this recording.
the drum and bass section are pushers when they are not on stage,no wonder larry is always so happy...
That drummer is amazing.
Anton Fig?
@@yamahitas Joel Rosenblatt
@@yamahitas I think you're right. I pulled up some pics of him. He's awesome!

'Course what better bunch of changes to jam on.... Thank you Donald and Walter...
Susan Hamilton Yes,, but these are two VERY DIFFERENT melodies! Cudos to Larry for the nice distinction of his melody lines!

I play both songs. Actually they are quite different. Similar in rhythm and some chords though.
I like this version the best of them all
Got it on vinyl. Of course, don't have a turntable anymore.
Oldness !

大好きな快楽音楽の一つ。
That hair lol....90s style. I love this song
It's called a "Skullet". ;)
I suggest everyone to check out Matteo Mancuso's rendition of this. It takes the song to a whole new level.
This was smoking hot. Larry sounds great here, and that drummer is amazing.
Right, I've always loved his Valley Arts tele too..Saw him live in 96 !
Anton Fig on drums.
@@Cvitandrums No, John Ferraro. He's played on and off with Carlton for 18 years or more
Iconic hair cut! Iconic tone!

カールトンはやっぱりええわ‼️特に335😃
Imagine such a awsome musician can never find a good way to end his pieces :/
It is always "Ohh should it end now? - OK - bam!

Just Awesome.
素晴らしすぎる
Great jam!
The best just love his feel & choice of notes.
Yes, that's what makes Larry ..... well...... Larry ! Mr. 335! He deserves his name .................... Larry Carl-Tone ~!~!~!~
j adore!!
This is BETTER than the studio version.
Heaven For my ears
ドラマーさん、やべぇかっこいいね
And using a fender instead of his 335. So smooth. Larry is a jazz God for sure.
In the early 80's I bought a Boogie in hopes of sounding more like Larry , didnt help much and too loud was often heard in the lounges , Later a couple of 335's that helped some and still my main axes but knowing even then it's all in the touch on that fretboard some p;layers you just know on the first couple of notes LC is one
Not actually a Fender.

I love that run at 1:57
The best one for me

ありがとう。
@xcskierboy 1991-08-06 / Tokyo Dome,Tokyo, Japan
Your right. I have seen him use a strat I believe. It is just odd that he would not use his 335 everytime he does this great song.
Sounds like an instrumental version of Peg, by Steely Dan. I wonder whom got the idea from.
Hey I saw you with Papa John DeFrancesco in Phoenix. Outrageous Jazz Guitar.. This song is reminiscent of "Peg" Steely Dan...Way to go!
The era of the super mullet.
Enjoyed 0:50... 🔥🔥2:11... 🔥🔥
Notice that at 1:53 Larry makes a believer out of the bass player.😁
Steve Bailey is so underutilized here.
Peg, it will come back to you.
Jay Graydon.
Similar no doubt!
Is this what Sean Michaels did after wrestling? Cool.
best youtube comment ever !
This was definitely the worst hair cut era for larry
For everyone
Im sitting here laffin to myself about the bad vibes on the mullet era , I too fell into it with hair down my back and ears showing , but it served its purpose , when the cops were around , tuck it under your shirt you looked like the rest of so -called proper society when in your element let the flocks flo , same as appling for jobs .

nice music to go to sleep to lol

I want to know why Playboy has a Jazz Festival
He should play his 335 on Room 335
That Hair! lol!
Nice playing by all. Who's on drums?
John Ferraro.
No! It's ............. The ~Great~ John Ferraro~!~ Hehehe~!~
fajny kawałek
Does anyone know a more interesting, and melodic guitarist anywhere in the world,,,,,,???,,,,,, thought not!!!! ;^)
G U T H R I E G O V A N
Damn Skippy!
Anyone else hear a little Steely Dan "Peg" in there (albeit Peg at 1.1X speed)?
Larry said in an interview he copied the plagal cadence figure V-I from Peg
It's not a Fender. It's a Valley Arts guitar.
I was fortunate 20 years ago roughly, to have owned a beautiful white Valley Art Strat!!!! Sadly,, I sold it,,, regrets big time!!!!
24 frets !!!!!!
Anton Fig????
Credits please
Larry Carlton and Shawn Michaels are the same guy.
This video reaffirms that I do not like the sound of P-90s. They are just so harsh sounding IMO, no subtlety whatsoever. Great for grungy power chords or nasty Blues though...

Peg?
Oh dear. Better on a 335
Silly question isn't 335 a Blues riff.
no not really it's D lydian but you can nick it for an A chord in a blues song :D
Initially in A major pentatonic. Modulates to C major and later D major.
I love Larry Carlton but this whole video is all about Steve Bailey. Let`s never forget that!
Slash!!
Slash needs some sheep shears!!! Whenever I see his ragged-assed mop I want to find him and clip the sheeet off of him!!!
I guess Larry's licks really WERE too awesome for the amp to handle, go figure... :D
なんとなく、ジャコが３３５のバックやってるような錯角に陥るな
それ思いました！
エンディングがぁ...泣
I think so 1wayne12345. Too sorry:(
But drum solo is cool!
Guitar brand?
I am guessing a Valley Arts by the head stock shape, They high end custom stuff in the 80s.
