    I bought this around 2007 along with George Lynch's REH and Alexi Laiho's Rock House dvd's. From those 3 dudes, Carl's playing made my jaw hit the floor the hardest. It was just so unlike anything my little metal ears had ever heard. Not a single normal scale run or over done pentatonic lick in sight.

    Thank you Levi. This brings back some good memories. Me today is an old dude born in the early 70s. When I first saw this video back in the 90s I was shocked. Never heard anyone play like that. Those kinds of lines and intervallic playing was new to me. I was totally blown away. Your ability to transcribe is the best I have ever seen. Always spot on. Thank you so much for your hard work.

    So I've been working on stuff like this heavily. Changing between e minor pentatonic and e major pentatonic and then throwing in notes of their respective diatonic scales as well. It's so much fun but takes a lot of... brain to wrap your head around it, a lot of the notes will work but some just straight up dont, it's all about the resolution of the line. It's a super fun exercise

    I remember reading about Carl a lot in guitar mags back before the internet was a way we could just check players out. Once that was finally an option and I saw some of his early clips on UA-cam I totally got the hype. He has some really interesting lines and has the kinda musical sense that all the top sessions players do. Guys like Carl and Brent mason and Steve lukather and Tim pierce go way too unrecognized for contributions. But I guess that’s the life of session guys

    I remember watching his "intervallic rock" video as a youngster - He's mind boggling, no question.
    What I think is the most important aspect, though, and it's not touched upon in this (great) transcription, nor in the video as far as I recall, is his *picking technique*.
    That's what put me off back then, I just didn't have the tools to analyze pure technique. Now that I see him playing again after 30 years or so, I realize he was one of the first to use mixed hybrid and throw finger strokes to cover the string skipping...
    All stuff that, if you explained it early on, you would have done a huge service to humanity.
    As a bedroom player with some experience, I came to realize what I believe to be quite an universal truth: you express yourself *ALWAYS* through technique. In other words: if you found a way to pick your lines a certain way, you'll tend to group notes in that particular way and "sound like that". If you found an original way to cover intervals with "exotic" techniques, like Carl does, or with two-hand tapping, or with legato and what not, think Brett Garsed or Richie Kotzen, then you'll build your lines around those intervals that you can cover witht that technique.
    Or think Benson or Gambale and their unbelievable sweep prowess... Each top player has his own way of "creating notes" and uses that. The notes he plays are most of the time a consequence of what he can play 'comfortably'.

    Hey Levi, here's something from 1975 that's ahead of its time. It gets wild around the 4:30 mark. Players like Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe B and Zack Wylde sight Frank Marino as an early influence and speak highly of him, so it's kinda going back to the source.
