Wow, hi all, thank you for the kind words! Political rain is still my favorite song to play live. :0)
OMG, Larry! My comment up above is so true -- I remember unexpectedly seeing you play at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark when I walked away from a party my law school was holding in 1996. You came up to the glass by the side of the stage and were playing for me and smiling, and I remember a blonde, heavier set woman telling me that was Larry Mitchell playing. I told her how much I loved this album ever since I heard your music during your interview on WSOU. She asked me if I wanted to meet you, and I think I was absolutely shaking by that point! You came out after your set, we talked about a half-hour or so, and you even signed your set list program for me -- which is one of my treasured musical souvenirs! I meant every word I said then, two years ago, and now: your album here is just as good as Tones/Ah Via Musicom and Surfing with the Alien, and I can only pray very hard that you know that you have a true gift from God, and your music is just incredible. I think I am shaking as much right now leaving word for you here as in Newark! God bless, and I will try to look for you if you play up in the NNJ area again!
Question about your guitar pictured in the video: while it initially appears to be a "run-of-the-mill" double-neck, the fret-marker dots on the six-string appear to be distinctly non-standard. Is it a baritone neck, or is it a custom job to mess with people's heads?
Great music by the way!
zadtheinhaler ???
There was a time has been n my head since I bought the tape so many years ago. Met you at Namm a while ago...great guy
i love "there was a time" please send my tab.
Um how am I just discovering this gold now in 2023!!!? Beautiful melodic playing. So many shredders miss the melodic aspect 👍
i discovered Larry about 5 years ago and he would knock the socks off many famous guitarists he is a phenomenal player with amazing tone
Can't believe I never knew about this guy until now.
me too lol
Same here :)
oh this is me in 2019
@@besiprimitif9513 no that is Larry Mitchell way back in 1990
Same wow
OMG where have you been all my life. 53 yrs old and just finding you now. Awesome
This casette got me through the Summer of 1990.Fresh off of my Mother's passing the year prior thanks for inviting me to your shows Larry it was greatly appreciated
He is not only an amazing talent, but a great person
What I love about Larry is that he knows when to use simple phrasing and also how to inject technical shredding in the mix
I've played guitar for 25 years learning shred, jazz fusion etc. Bought over 30 guitar magazines since the mid 1990's, books on guitarists. And later the internet MP3's and videos since 2001 and UA-cam since 2006. I've never heard of Larry Mitchell. Cannot believe this guy wasn't given attention in the late 1990's in the UK when I was learning.
"I've played guitar for 25 years learning shred, jazz fusion etc."
yeah, sure.
pfffff
@@Minotauro_di_Chieti And who the fuck are you again?
I was looking through an old 92' Ibanez catalog I had to see the specs on my guitar, and I see this guy Larry Mitchell on a page with a bad ass looking guitar (looks like an S...a 540R), and I thought, who is this guy. Hit play on this video, and I'm hooked! Why the HELL have I not heard of this guy? He is freakin phenomenal! This is from 1990? This dude can play. Love how melodic this is, with a heavy dose of shred. Larry, you got a new fan. Thank you for this music. Political Rain is the first song now I've heard from you, and that was all it took.
OMG how did I miss this guy?? This is great playing and songs just rock. Class!
Just discovered this! This album is unbelievable! New favorite artist.
Dang those intro drums love the change of pace, Love it, such a nice groove with the guitar lick over it
This is awesome - thanks for posting. Had heard some of Larry Mitchell's more recent stuff but not this older stuff.
Greetings from Detroit,
Music as fresh today as yesterday!!!!!
Wow. Thanks for the inspiration! It's got what todays music is missing. MUSIC!!
Good stuff! Why have I never heard of this guy before?
One of the most underrated shred albums of the period!
One of the most Underrated Rock Guitarists ever.
Obviously!! He's a crappy guitar player and songwriter.
@@Minotauro_di_Chieti what? why?
@@Minotauro_di_Chieti Don’t worry guys, this ones either a troll or just thick as shit. Take Vinnie Moore or Tony Macalpine for example, both should be millionaires and in some sort of Hall of Fame for impeccable songwriting. But both are not.
@@Butchy1 All Shrapnel artists! Especially Greg Howe.
cannot believe I just now discovered this,but so glad that I did. great stuff!
I have never heard of this before. Gave it a spin and straight out of the gate it sounds amazing. Love that delayed guitar tone. Magic stuff
Refreshing to hear such great guitar playing and excellent compositions! 👍
Just Been jamming this for like the title says one of the best instrumental rock albums of all time!! Simply incredible playing by Larry...Vastlyunderrated!!! Every song is great! Been jamming this for Twenty seven years!! Political Rain is amazing!
Political Rain is my fav. Been in love with it the first time I heard it.
I had the pleasure of meeting him very briefly around 1990 as he can down to a friend's rehearsal space one day
. what a nice guy and I also saw him perform this album..what a great player..he deserves to get much more attention and accolades
Thanks for this. I don't know how but I have never come across this before. Sounds excellent.
Saw his pictiures in guitar magazines way back in the early 90s. Too bad it wasnt released in my country. Im now a fan. Thanks for sharing!
Can not believe it is Dec, 2019 and I have never heard of Larry Mitchel until tonight, should be ashamed of myself. Will be digging deeper into his archives now.
Hey I just discovered him...
@@QuantumLocksmith same here and I'm 66, thought I knew everybody who is anybody on guitar (not so). I also just discovered Jimmy Herring
@@porkbelly0713 Only 39 here and there are a lot of fast players out there and seems impossible to know them all. I also feel great that there is always something new to discover. Is always a great day when this happens.
Amazing album !!!
Wow! Amazing tone. Gorgeous compositions. Beautiful stuff. I wish I had heard of Larry Mitchell years ago!
this drummer is so tight!
Without any question, one of the best rock albums of all times. Absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing!
Youre welcome :)
Just hearing this for the first time, WOW Larry you’re amazing!! I have lots of Shrapnel stuff Larry is a welcome addition to the shred legends.
Thank you!! First time listening his music...it´s awesome!!
An absolutely original guitarist shredder musician with a killer grasp of tasty rhythm and hooks to go with demi-god level chops! Absolute master!
Not exactly a shredder. Well rounded musician yes, but a shredder is leaning more toward guys like Macalpine.
@@kvltbastvrd6726 each to their own. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s so maybe shredder for me is not a shredder for later generations. Anyhow amazing player and musician. 😀
Larry's mind, heart and hands were and still are a gift to us all. If you read this Larry, thankyou sir 🙏💪✌️🎸
Just recognized him and couldn't even get bored. İt's like gold mine.
Thanks..I bought this on tape..when it came out..lost it..so thanks for posting..
This is a great CD to see another brother playing instrumental heavy rock puts icings on the cake what are you up to nowadays
Awesome! Why have I never heard of Larry Mitchell till now? This is some of the best guitarwork I have ever heard! And I listen to guitarists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dave Uhrich, Joe Stump, Eric Johnson, Vinnie Moore, Tony Macalpine, Steve Morse, Ernie Isley etc. This is some great stuff! I'm loving it! Still can't believe I've never heard of Larry Mitchell till now, but I'm sold!!!
geektar
I’m sure you know him based off your list, but just in case Greg Howe as well is unlike no other!
@@sonicxhunters8344 Oh yes, I have been a huge fan of Greg Howe since the late '80's when his debut album with Shrapnel records first came out. "Introspection" and "Uncertain Terms" are two of my favorite albums by Greg." I also love the "Tilt" and "Project" albums he did with Richie Kotzen.
I am also a big fan of Glenn Proudfoot, but I haven't heard any studio work from him lately. Some other guitarist that I love are Jason Becker, (in my prayers), Marty Friedman (check out "Dragon Mistress"), Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons, Eric Gales (check out "God Only Knows", Ethan Brosh (check out "Blade Runner), Gary Hoey, Gary Moore, Guthrie Govan, Alex Hutchings, Chris Impelletteri, and of course, the King....Edward Van Halen.
@@Pete4260 Hell yea!! Just rediscovered Andy Timmons myself yesterday lol, and as a huge Megadeth fan Marty is what got me interested in solo guitarists!, Kiko Loureiro(current Megadeth guitarist) is great on his solo albums as well. Nick Johnston, Daniele Gottardo are some other great modern names.
Shrapnel artists are hidden music gems, but unfortunately 99% of population don’t give instrumental music a chance, metal, fusion or otherwise.
That Joe Stump has some endurance. He can play all day before he's even warmed up. Super aggressive shredder.
Larry's tone has always been amazing!
Ibanez dude from way back!
still going to Larry's stuff with the ax FX is so insane ! One of my all time favorite guitar players . Thanks for being killer Larry ,😎🤘
New Larry smokes the old Larry. Truly has his own sound. 🤘🏼
Wow, I'm a guitar player and happend to stumble upon this album. Verry glad I did. Looking forward to hearing more.
woah youtube just brought me somewhere that I would have never found on my own. This is sick as hell! Definitely doing some research and buying this. Thanks for the upload!
Just now, got the feed. Such great vocal melodies.
Wow. Speechless for a moment........ Remarkable talent. Superb song writing. Wow. First I have heard of this genius. Better late than never. How does one of the best guitar players in the world remain so unknown.
I drove Larry to Ibanez Guitars to pick up his guitar in 1990. We were at the Foundations Forum in LA. What an awesome player and a really cool guy. Thanks for posting this because I no longer have this CD nooooooooo! Love every song on it. (I just tried to buy it on itunes. couldn't so came here. now I'm off to amazon lol :)
I forgot that I uploaded this in 2014 and now I forgot my password for this account. Anyway, you're welcome. I'm glad you find this here in yt. I still listen to this album once in a while and the last song, Political Rain with Ibanez Neo Classical effect is still my fav of all time.
really interesting unusual phrasing!
I had this album!!! Not even sure what the hell happened to it, lol!! I bought it because he was in the Ibanez catalog and I was a total 16 year old Ibanez guitar fan boy into all the soloists. We didn't have the interwebz, so I mostly found out about new artists like Larry through magazines, catalogs and Head bangers Ball on MTV, haha.
I haven't heard this album since probably the mid 90's sometime and I still remember the songs and melodies! So great job on this one, Larry and thanks to @pinoymetal for the upload and bringing back the memories!!
Youre welcome bro Justin.
Just discovered this by accident! WOW! ... really DIGGING this, so TASTY GOOD!
Gosh! That's insane great! What a tone, what a healing feeling touch of the strings 🎼🥇💫🤩🤘
Amazing guitar player . I’ve never heard about this guy . I saw his picture in a guitar magazine but no one talked about him . Thanks for the upload . I like “ I’m God we trust “ and “ the seduction “. Nobody has ever noticed his fret markers on his 6 string guitar. It’s all wrong ,, but looks great !!!!!!!! GREAT GUITAR PLAYER!!!!
This is a Masterpiece!! Thanks for sharing!
Still as magic as when I bought it twenty-five years ago. Larry is the most criminally-underrated guitarist I know, and it was an absolute blast meeting him. The tones of Eric Johnson, the technique of Joe Satriani, and the brashness of Vernon Reid -- how is this man not a superstar?
You forgot he is a super cool and humble human being. He oozes good vibes and a gentle spirit!
"The tones of Eric Johnson, the technique of Joe Satriani" #ytmostidioticcomments
@@Minotauro_di_Chieti Are you saying the comment is "bleedin' obvious" - or are you being a genuine twat? Music is art - it's subjective.
you are a super star to me!!! I just wish we had more time to talk.
Holly, how i never hear this before. Is the sound!!
So damn good album.. Larry is a genius. Its really cool, his riif are so tasty, groove and his soloing are bluesy metal. Banging my head all the time. Great. Damn good
U will not waste time listening great composition
Hey Larry , Art Reno here from Lab Sound / Mesa Boogie circa 1990 NAMM show .. Still with great memories jamming with you in the Samson booth that year .. good times .. hope you are doing well my friend !!!
Have never heard this album or ever heard of Larry Mitchell until now, thank you! I'm very glad to hear this! Great tunes
30-11-23, acabo de encontrar x casualidad este disco, me parece tremendo guitarrista !!!
This guy's music is great!
How wasn't Larry Mitchell on my radar back in the day. Great guitar player!!!
I have your CD somewhere Larry this is like the 1st time hearing ity again since like 1995 or so! BRavo all the best shred master! Keep rocking ALWAYS!
WOW .......... Blown away that i missed this guy back in the day. Amazing
Just discovering in 2020. Fantastic tunes and playing! Really tasty guitar playing. Not just endless shredding but great riffs, compositions and effective use of space. Great rhythm section playing.
Sorry to say that i difn't know this incredible artist. Thank you for sharing. Amazing music and pure talented guitarist.
I've been waiting a long time to see this one on youtube since I've worn out the three cassettes and DVD I had of this masterpiece. Larry is one of the great ones, both instrumentally and as a human being. What a nice surprise to find this. A thousand thanks!
Maxx61
you're welcome maxx61. did you listen to the last track? (the bonus track) how do you like that version?
rakistang pinoy I actually like the bonus version...more raw. Love that compressed, fat tone he gets. Not sure if it was with his Dimarzio X2N but it's known for that. Love that pickup.
what the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why have I never heard of this cat!?!?!?!This is as good or BETTER than any instrumental guitar ever and I know my instrumental guitar. Damn this is as good as it gets this is orgasmic . .
Larry is incredible! IIRC, when I was like 14 or so, I saw him on the Joan Rivers show. He just blew me away!
I remember Larry from guitar mags in the early 90s but never heard him. Got hooked on this album a few years ago and picked up a CD copy too. Political Rain is a masterpiece in my book, up there with For the Love of God, Trademark, The Forgotten Part II, Resolution, Altitudes...great playing Larry!
Eres genial Larry, un monstruo de la guitarra!!!
what an amazing album,i have never heard the name of Larry Mitchell,i´ll look for more of his music
Damn...this is the first time I hear of him! I am sooooo gonna share about him in FB!
Awesome fantastic trip!
This music is timeless! Love this album!
Just stumbled upon this masterpiece. Wow Larry Mitchell!!!! Not a bad discovery in 2021. First time listening to this dude and he's unbelievably good!!!
it`s the first time i hear this...and i feel that i`ve been missing out for years...the energy, the smoothness, and the beautiful notes..man it`s a keeper
Discovering this awesome shredder for the first time on January 1st, 2024.
ua-cam.com/video/EfF5ABptdcA/v-deo.html
Oh shit... Larry Mitchell!! I remember buying this cassette from a guitar magazine about 30 years ago just because I was into all the Shrapnel Records guys and Larry was a NYer. I loved this album. So good. Once I migrated over to CDs this album got lost in the mix. Haven't heard it in so long. I was out here watching some Allan Hollsworth and stumbled upon this gem. Fantastic!
Very tasty, not sure how this guy escaped my radar. Thanks for sharing.
Same thing I was thinking!
Great album! Larry wrote great melodies!
It is 2020 ,i was amaze by Larry Mitchell amazing and beautiful guitar playing & capability of songs writing.
Please make him famous, he deserve it.
Many can incredibly shreds but only few can beautifuly compose.
Just found this,great stuff,thanks.
Can"t stop listening to this.
Many thanks for posting this I have not enjoyed music this much for many years I am currently listening to buckethead he is equally as good check out his mellow stuff you will be amazed...x
Man, thank you very much for share!!!! From Brasil!!!
I just purchased Larry's guitar instructional video...Love it!!! They're lots of really good teachers out there, but for some reason I find Larry's easy to follow and more importantly, immediately useful techniques to incorporate in my music. I have Larry's albums too. Keep rockin good people.
hi, I hope this message finds you well. I have been searching for Larry Mitchell DVD booklet for a long time. Do you have it?
@@robertorenner8245 I've had his CD for quiet a while. I don't have the booklet
First time listening and I love it
Hi Larry, You stayed at my house for a little while in Keene NH back in the day. I remember that hat. Listening to this album brought back memories. Good times.
How did I miss this dude back in the day?
Good to hear Larry again!
Damn never even heard of this guy, this is pretty tasty. Always appreciate when shredders have groove too
This it. What I've been looking for
First I looked for Hreg Howe's greatest hits and this came up in my suggestions feed. Great playing by Larry Mitchell.
Thank you algorhitm, this album is excellent.
Just discovered this guy...very glad I did. Great sense of melody, phrasing and shred with some funk mixed in. Not a total speed racer. Awesome!
I remember looking at Larry's crazy long E.T. fingers and then at my sausage nubs.
Awesome music.
2019 eventually got this on CD. Great album. As good composer as guitar player.
This cassette was played in my car a million Temporary Thing was my jam and Political Rain
Still have this on Cassette he invited me To many of his Shows Larry was my introduction to The New York Music Scene
If you live long enough you will always see, hear or experience someone uniquely talented. It has happened to me this night.
Wow! This is great stuff! I Had heard his name before but never any of his music. I would have missed out but that's the great thing about youtube!
