My guitar idol for decades now. I cried watching Larry struggle through the tremors but still keep control and play beautifully. To hear him say in a previous NAMM video from the same day that he hadn't picked up a guitar in a month is just tear jerking. My dad was Sinatra's sax player for decades. If he couldn't pick up his horn every day we knew something was up. He made it to 98 but hadn't played for a few months before he passed. We wish Larry only the best, and if he comes to NYC again, you can be sure that we'll be there to see him as we have for years.
Tell your Idol he only needed to learn 3 chords or less, he might have been a multi billionaire now. Jazzers play too many chords changes in a song. Poop, cRap music with 3 or less chords makes millions $1,000000,00+ usd while jazzers playing 500 chord changes in a 3 minute song makes only Ten dollars. Maybe that's why Larry is making guitars now, because jazz music didn't pay for multiple mansion houses, fast luxury supercars, private jets and fleet of Yatch's ! He dress like a homelss too cause he cant afford all the shit designer drips
They're all at another booth watching Matteo Mancuso over-play. Don't get me wrong, I love Matteo, and there's no doubt he's got the technique of the gods, but when you compare him to a mature stylist like Larry you realize how young Matteo really is and how much growing he still needs to do.
They are watching the shredders somewhere else...Larry Carlton is for ears not for eyes but unfortunately nowadays it is all about who is the fastest and more technical.
His soul is still singing through guitar!! Make no mistake that it takes great courage to get up in front of an audience of mostly guitar players and not to mention The World via YT!! Remember he’s Larry Carlton and that’s a really tough act to follow for anyone I’ve ever heard:-)
An iconic figure in recorded music, a legendary musician in American culture. His struggles with the shakes are irrelevant to the quality of the music that comes out of his guitar. His chord melody is as astonishing as ever and it's great to see him smile at his own genius.
Imagine the sense of safety and peace of mind knowing you've got your wing-man in these situations - especially when the environment is intimidating or you're not having your best day.
My #1 fav player by far since I was captivated by the Crusaders. I could listen to Larry all day & sometimes do. You've given so much to the world & inspired me to play. Much health & happiness to you. And I'm totally luvin' my Sire Tele ! God bless you Larry !
I saw him in 82 or 83 during his Sleepwalk tour at the Tralf in Buffalo. I sat at the center table 5 feet in front of him. I'll never forget it! He was amazing, and he's the reason I just bought an ES-335.
Sooo tasteful. Every note part of a phrase, phrase part of a sentence, sentence part of a paragraph... He's always been so good. One of my early favorite jazz guitar players, before I even really got into jazz. I remember listening to The Crusaders and his solos on their Southern Comfort album - wow, like 50 years ago. He still sounds terrific.
Watched Larry live at the Blue Note in Tokyo in 2019. Fantastic concert, great guitarist and a beautiful person. These guitars have great looks and will probably never sound better! 😊
Damn I love Larry!! Transcribed all his stuff when I was a kid. I need to go back and revisit all of Larry’s records….Sleepwalk…Friends has some of the best guitar shit ever!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Larry Thank you for everything you taught me and giving me so much pleasure listening to all your stuff.Your a total legend.Your still doing an awesome job and swinging like only you can despite your health issues.Love you man.👌
His body of work is extensive. What ever the tremors are from is not affecting his playing so I’m glad for him. I’ve got two Sire guitars and they are good. This jazz box, I’m a bit skeptical about. But interested. It looks like a big one, 17” maybe?
This is great! We've seen this with many famous/iconic artists, but it always amazes me the passers-by (even some present, sitting) that don't have a clue. You just want to shake them and say, whether it's Carlton, Benson, Johnson, Jackson Jr., Ritenour, Gill, or Burrell, Kessel, Campbell, Reed, Perkins, Dale etc, back in the day - WTH is wrong with you?.. you're witnessing the Paul McCartney (at least) of guitar! Edit: I know, Carlton's problem is he doesn't shred 🙄
@@pallheat namm. I said in response to you saying he should make a standards album, that he’s retired so we probably won’t get music (an album) from him again. I’m aware he’s playing a standard, but not a hope he’ll be making a standards album.
Your comment is the first one on here to acknowledge what was obvious to me on the first few notes; he's suffering from some kind of compromised motor control issue. I'm not dissing him in the slightest, because he was a fantastic player and a model for guys like myself learning to play in the '70's, but he is clearly NOT capable of playing on that level now.
I believe you mean “Soujthern Knights”. I saw him back in the ’70s play with Crusaders, before he was that well known. I think I was the only white boy in the venue!😆 But I was waiting to hear some of his solos off of this record and Chain Reaction, and man, he didn’t disappoint! He soared!
I would love to see Sire come out with a guitar similar to the GB-10. This 17" jazzer is just too bulky for me. If they could shrink it down to 15 1/2" it would be perfect. The GB-10 is even smaller but even well used Japanese ones are pretty expensive.
It's really nice to see Larry playing again . Got to choose easier songs, but the timing is still there even with his problems . But his history is as high as it gets and anyone that's heard or seen him in the last several decades can attest, he's one of the all time greats . Love to Larry Carlton . :)
I have to admit I don´t really know. But I think he has had these tremors since he was shot in a gang attack in the late 80´s. The bullet apparently caused nerve damage in his left arm/shoulder....However like I said I don´t know, it is just a guess...
OOOOH, I want one of these... It looks like Paul Reed Smith on the mixer board..LOL. Anybody know what guitar this is, other than a Sire? Model? I don't find it on their website.
How thick is the back of the neck on this newer guitar model? I tried his 335 model and it sounded great but the neck was very chunky with an unusually narrow nut width which is based on his particular 335.

Steve Lukather told a story about Carlton breaking his top three strings at once, then playing a monstrous solo on the bottom three 😮
man, that must be so frustrating. kudos to Larry for still sounding killer
A very kind and loving note here, Glenn. Respect and appreciation.
He’s been through so much; don’t forget the time he got shot😢
Tell your Idol he only needed to learn 3 chords or less, he might have been a multi billionaire now.

Blows me away why this room is not full of guitar players watching this guitar master.
Larry is known by non-guitarists as well. Mainly for his time spent playing with The Crusaders.
Imagine walking around and seeing him playing...would be a top 5 days of my life

Because it s all business peeps, wanting to buy stuff.....they don't care about music....
The man has forgotten more than the rest of us will ever know.
Many thanks for uploading.

Touch, taste and tone = Larry Carlton. What an absolute legend.

shout out to Rick Wheeler........the most loyal guitar tech a man could ever find. Cheers Rick.
Imagine the sense of safety and peace of mind knowing you've got your wing-man in these situations - especially when the environment is intimidating or you're not having your best day.
Rick is awesome !
A man that has given us so much great music
When Larry’s guitar talks we listen . Gorgeous ❤️
Glad to see him still playing. Thanks for sharing this

Breaks my heart. Saw him a few years ago, and he seemed completely healthy. Got hooked on his music over 40 years ago.
Larry is fantastic he’s made a lot of people happy and influenced so many players

WOW! Larry Carlton and George Benson were the real guitar greats at the show.
Damn I love Larry!! Transcribed all his stuff when I was a kid. I need to go back and revisit all of Larry’s records….Sleepwalk…Friends has some of the best guitar shit ever!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Fantastic... thanks for sharing.. .Larry's the man, the legend. You know he's digging it when he smiles. :)
Larry is the GOAT! Love the clean shaved head!
A living legend ❤
Thanks so much for share this video. 🎸💯🎼
Thank you so very much for posting this..! I keep playing it over and over. It's da 💣
ラリーカールトン師匠。かなりお年を取られましたね。健康に気をつけてどんどん長生きしてすばらしいプレイを🎉何を弾いてもカールトンサウンド🎉
Lovely to hear a fresh take on this great old song. Best wishes from a fan.
Larry Carlton is the original "triads" improvisor-the rest of us said "What is that?" This guy was miles ahead of the pack.
Such a beautiful instrument.
Saw Larry around 1985 at the Beverly theatre in LA. I believe he opened up for Al Di Meola soaring through a dream tour.
I just spent 4 days at NAMM, but didn't know about this. Thanks for posting!
Got to meet him in '75 in Houston. Nicest cat ever and a really fine player.
My hero
Great to see Larry
One of the greatest guitar players ever!!
I’ve loved Larry since the 80s. I have several Sire guitars but what model is he playing? I WANT ONE!!
His body of work is extensive. What ever the tremors are from is not affecting his playing so I’m glad for him.
I’ve got two Sire guitars and they are good. This jazz box, I’m a bit skeptical about. But interested. It looks like a big one, 17” maybe?
Beautiful playing! Thank you Larry!
"All the things you're..." LOL
mostly muscle memory still elegantly killing it!
LARRY CARLTON IS TRULY A LIVING LEGEND! WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'G KNOW IS THAT LARRY CAN ALSO SING HIS ASS OFF! HE'S SMOOTHE AS SMOOTHE CAN GET!
Doesn’t get better thanks for sharing :)
Great : the Master.
Nothing technically spectacular, but a sublime sense of time and melody and taste . . .
Nerve damage and Parkinson's.
Great man !
Larry aka Mr 335 is a impeccable musician sublime playing Larry.
beautiful.
Larry Carlton: the greatest!
What a taste. Larry is the Man.
What a performance.....consider yourself very lucky all you bystanders .....👏👍👌💪😎💰🇺🇸🦫😂
I still think some of his best work was with the Crusaders. He was a big reason for their success.
Legend 😮

Larry Carlton's the MAN!
Great sounding guitar! Is that a Larry Carlton signature jazz box from Sire? If so, intriguing. Larry should make a trad standards album.
it is
He’s pretty much retired so unfortunately, don’t think we’ll get more music from him. Especially not standards.
@@JordanHigginsGuitar Well, he's playing a standard here.
@@pallheat namm. I said in response to you saying he should make a standards album, that he’s retired so we probably won’t get music (an album) from him again.
I’m aware he’s playing a standard, but not a hope he’ll be making a standards album.
@@JordanHigginsGuitar Thanks for clarifying that.
Gosh 😢😢😢😢 a such legend .. what happened to him ? He was my model for decades
Your comment is the first one on here to acknowledge what was obvious to me on the first few notes; he's suffering from some kind of compromised motor control issue. I'm not dissing him in the slightest, because he was a fantastic player and a model for guys like myself learning to play in the '70's, but he is clearly NOT capable of playing on that level now.
Never knew Sire had an archtop.
Southern Comfort, the Crusaders was my first introduction to a young Larry Carlton
I believe you mean “Soujthern Knights”. I saw him back in the ’70s play with Crusaders, before he was that well known. I think I was the only white boy in the venue!😆 But I was waiting to hear some of his solos off of this record and Chain Reaction, and man, he didn’t disappoint! He soared!
Legend ❤
When he started playing, everyone in the hall should have been gathering at his point. Can’t imagine who’s dumb enough not to do it.
Super son
My hero❤
ラリーもこういう所で弾いてくれるんだ､､居合わせたギャラリーは超ラッキー！
master studio musician i never could reach his level because i didnt earn it he did
The Roger Federer of the guitar, thank you for it all! 🎸🍾❤️
The tennis guy of guitar? Please explain

I agree. The older we get the more our joints protest the larger bodies.
@Taylort3b .....I'm old enough to be your grandpa and my should joints hurt at times so I now prefer smaller bodied guitars and a shorter scale neck.
@@JackTheSkunk 78 this November.😞 Still toying with idea of acquiring an Ibanez AM93QM. Smaller and thinner body.
It's really nice to see Larry playing again . Got to choose easier songs, but the timing is still there even with his problems . But his history is as high as it gets and anyone that's heard or seen him in the last several decades can attest, he's one of the all time greats . Love to Larry Carlton . :)
A great fan...saw him in 86 doing the video series at the Baked Potato. Are the tremors a condition or an age thing kicking in?...cheers

Sire H7F
Sempre bravo Larry
just pop music, quite pleasant if you just want to relax.
delighted to hear Jamey Aebersold show up on this gig
He’s gigging everywhere these days!
Nice to see Paul sr. From American chopper there
man !!! ....and people just passing by...
I LOVE MY SIRE L7V
Rick Wheeler right there making sure all sounds perfect!
😭❤
Larry e Lee ritenoir top
So musically 😂 Thank you!
This is new Sire h7f
Great guitar and sound!!! LC model?
Sire H7F
My Hero. Bit what happened to his hand? Some sort of tremor ? Anyone can explain ?
Very nice of you to share this. Thanks! Is this a new Sire?
Yes. Sire H7F
How thick is the back of the neck on this newer guitar model? I tried his 335 model and it sounded great but the neck was very chunky with an unusually narrow nut width which is based on his particular 335.
The new models have the wider width
@@MarkStearle do you mean the nut width or that the neck is thicker from the back? (chunkier)
nut width 43mm@@IsaacLausell
You mean..."All the things you are"???
I love it when he doesn't play the blues. He's a great jazz guitarist, one of the best.
❤...MR.335,
The musical brain is still all there
What guitar is that"?
2:19 Is that Paul Sr. From Orange County Choppers in th B.G.? 😄
Dat tone
The song is called "All The Things YOU ARE" - not "All The Things YOU'RE".
Because what you always need in that sort of environment is all the treble rolled off
Is that a new signature Sire model guitar he’s playing?
Yes. Sire H7F
what amp use ?
A new Sire jazz box??
better watch out the cool yellow teeshirt dont sue for cervical injury
02:00 Nice to see Paul Sr. from Orange County Choppers walk by and stop... I took him for more of a Nickelback fan.
haha
Model of this guitar?
Sire H7F
