@@thmsrttg It's almost as if it's creating a new path to walk on. For me that song hits very HARD. You definitely wouldn't want to hit your head on it.
Larry has the vibe of a zen master holding a blood stained axe - he’s simultaneously calming and terrifying on guitar. I’m picturing Wong and Lettieri practicing extra for this session, feeling nervous, and totally at ease after 5 min in the room.
And yet, Larry WOULD NOT HAVE DONE this project/interview if he didn't see something in the skillsets of Wong and Littieri, and the musical opportunity presented. I once saw Larry interviewed at a Sweetwater Gearfest where he didn't even pick up a guitar.
So... what about Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, George Benson, Zachary Breaux - these comments... Don´t get me wrong, Larry is a g.o.a.t. with his ability to outline a melody from a chord change - unparalleled but there are other players who did the same in THEIR way.
This video and Rick Beato's interview of Bernard Purdie got me weirdly emotional. I'm only 26 but, to me, Carlton and Purdie embody musical excellence. The fact that we're able to get to know such musical titans through these videos for free is an absolute privilege!
I'd have to add (drummer) Narada Michael Waldon to that - he's also in his 70s and has such an amazing resume and great stories to tell. Him talking with Jack Conte and Ryan Lerman was fascinating.
I'm so appreciative of the humor and production value that goes into these. Larry Carlton on a twig as viewed through binoculars was unbridled genius. This entire video was beyond great.
Best part? The pure joy on Cory;s face "I'm up here on stage trading licks with _Larry Carlton,_ one of the masters I listened to when I was learning to play guitar! It doesn't get any better than this!"
Thanks to Cory. No better way to honor someone like Larry Carlton than the interview you gave. Being a musician who has followed Larry since the early 1980's I know Larry was honored by your words. Brought tears to my eyes. Cory keep being you man.
When I see how much respect there is between the new and old generation, that makes my day. I have a big smile on my face after seeing this interview. Now I'm gonna enjoy my Sire Larry Carlton H7 guitar....Great guitars for the price
I will say it again and everyday for the rest of my life... Cory Wong is a national treasure and we need to protect this man and his band from any harm!
I found Cory's music recently and it really arrived in good time. I'm feeling very sad lately, due to work, relationships and the fact I'm getting deaf. I feel abandoned in every way but I pretend to be strong even though I'm losing the battle. But with Cory's music, I feel really happy, I feel like I can do anything, it's like the sunshine is everlasting. I would like to thank Cory for making such an amazing music, it really helps me to get through all this shit, so I'll listen to this amazing music as long as I can. Thanks Cory, God bless you and your whole band and guests.
only ever listened to Mark before this, and of course am a huge fan of his playing. always had heard of Cory Wong and Larry Carlton in passing, but hadn't ever listened to them. honestly this made me really appreciate both of their playing and styles just as much as Mark, in different ways of course, but thats the beauty of having unique styles. love this series!!
Are you kidding me?!?!? My two newest favorite guitarists (Cory & Mark) chilling, talking music, and jamming with Larry Carlton - an old favorite, and true master of his art. Great stuff. This made my day. I've been playing almost 45 years, I loved seeing the new generation melding flawlessly with the older.
@@xebio6 he is a kick ass guitar player from Argentina, his gutar lessons are memorable, nevertheless in Spanish, quite sure he knows about Rick's channel.
I met Larry at a clinic in Glasgow Scotland and asked him about his involvement in the Court and Spark sessions. I asked him if Joni had charts or anything mapped out for him and the other fellas, and he told me Joni just let them all do their thing. Being a massive Joni fan I found this so intriguing but not surprising, as Larry's licks are so recognisable. When I heard this recording for the first time back in 74, Joni's amazing song writing, the rhythm section and the guitar work weaving through that record made it a masterpiece. That chat you both had with him about those sessions reminded me of the stuff I asked him. Larry was and is a real gent and I can't believe it's nearly 50 years since I became a fan of his. . . . . Thanks for this, Cory, Mark and Larry.
The year was 1986, I just graduated college in San Diego and moved to a small (2300 people, one 4 way stop) town in Montana. One day I'm working out in our garden, with the radio propped in my bedroom window facing out so I can listen to music while I worked. Of course, there was no jazz stations, so I was playing the local "easy listening" station. All of a sudden a tune comes on that I was so immediately taken with that I ran in to the house, looked up the station in the phone book and called to find out who and what was playing. Turns out it was Smiles and Smiles to Go. From that moment on I was hooked as a Larry Carlton fan. I almost came out of my seat when Larry referenced it and played a few of the opening cords. Another side story: In the late 70's I was in HS at a small, conservative Christian school. Proms and dances were "of the devil," so we had "Banquets" instead. One year we booked two Christian musicians to perform - Eric Nelson and Michelle Pillar. Between her voice and her beauty, as a teenager, I was smitten. What a shock to find out years later that she and Larry are married. Funny the little connections that are made throughout our lives!
Jesus man... I'm watching this as keyboard/percussion man and loving every single second of it. This is music entertainment at its finest and most educational and passionate. Thanks for all you guys do, you'll never be appreciated enough!!!
Cory himself is Mister Covert Chops! He rarely seems to play anything more than "Dinga-Dinga-Dinga-Dinga-Dinga-Dinga-Dinga..........", but he plays that PERFECTLY, which ain't easy. And when he does something more, or solos, it's clear just how much guitar he can pull out if the song requires it. In that he reminds me of Walter Becker - who mostly just chunked rhythm, played the occasional bluesy, economical lead, and tried to look as dyspeptic as Donald Fagen does. Of course, Walter could never sound as dyspeptic as Donald does, no one can.
The "epic" scale on this channel has no limits: in fun, musicality, guests, editing, mixing - and information. Looking at Corys´ face while Larry is playing is worth gold ;-)
What an honor for Larry Carlton to share his skills and Cory there soaking it all in. It's kind of rare for the younger generations of players to be open minded enough to be inspired by legends such as Larry Carlton.
That little jam session at the end of the interview was immaculate! Had me smiling ear to ear, thanks for another fantastic, thoroughly entertaining, and musically enriching episode Cory! :)
The G to C part is so awesome!!! Guitar is such a great and unlimited instrument. Larry and Mark just show us there are infinite voicing to play any harmony!
Season one was great, but I feel like everybody involved has really nailed the format with this season. Hope this show goes on for a long time, if Cory & Co. don't tire of it!
Nods and snaps and thanks to Wilton Felder and Joe Sample, too... those guys were there with Larry 45 years ago... Magic! Nice video, and thanks you all!
Thanks so much for this. Larry radiates mastery, how he goes from complexity to simplicity in such a meaningful way is brutal. And what a wonderful soul! I love listening to Mark’s amazing playing with you guys. The band, the talk, the jams, everything was AWESOME!!
This video is such a gift to everyone who loves guitar! I just received my Sire H7 in cherry sunburst like Larry’s this past week and it was one of the easiest playing and most beautiful sounding guitars I’ve ever touched. Doesn’t get much better than these 3 guys on 1 stage!
I'm impressed, Cory, by your interviewing skill. You keep the pace moving, you listen, and your enthusiasm for the material is obvious. I had the pleasure of working as the mixing assistant for Larry on two new tracks that were on the "Collection" album.... "Small Town Girl," and "For Heaven's Sake." It was truly a career highlight. On a more somber note...I was on a session with Rik Pekonnen (one of his go-to engineers) the morning Larry was shot by a home intruder. Larry literally "dodged a bullet" and we are lucky that we still have him with us as a musical inspiration. Again...great interview.
I understand now why my guitar teacher venerates Larry. What a touch, phrasing and sound ! Cory and Mark, you’re not legends yet just because you’re not old enough. You’ll be for sure ! Thanks Cory for all this awesome stuff, and legendary interviews.
Wholly $h!t Cory!!! Amazing show. Production is top notch. These 2 guests knock it out of the park. This is a mandatory watch for all musicians. Thank you. Subscribed.
All three are amazing. I first heard Larry during my soft jazz phase and I continued listening when i moved on.. I've been listening to quite bit of Mark lately and Cory is Cory. I think Cory is one of the best rhythm guitarists that ever lived. He's always in the middle of amazing music. This is the kind of music we should hear playing on FM
wow, i’m sincerely amazed and very impressed at the quality and talent you continue to deliver. guitar content has been around on youtube but not like this. to see you grow from the audio podcasts to vlogs to a full blown prime time variety show has been something special. happy to have seen you guys live on a recent tour. WELL DONE CORY! :)
Phenomenal video! The amazing Larry Carlton and the superb Mark Lettieri talking guitar nerd talk with funk ace Cory Wong... just phenomenal. Kudos to Cory for the great interview questions. Gees... that first song with Lettieri was jaw-dropping.
I was waiting for this episode my entire life... And Larry Carlton, what a gift! So much respect for Mark too, absolutely! You three are all fantastic musicians!!! Thanks Cory for this super inspiring session!
I'm officially 45 mins late for work watching this AMAZING interview session. I'm a 30 yr old that feels like I'm 12 again learning from these amazing players and how honest and true they are about playing guitar and how it's STILL a journey for even them. So freaking inspirational!!😭
Ive been covertly anticipating this overt tribute to the guitar, from the bottom of my pick box I overtly appreciate you and thank you for this episode!
I remember when we only had four TV channels. Now we get to watch awesome niche content like this on UA-cam. It's a damn exciting time to be alive!! Thanks Cory!
Brilliant! My compliments to everyone in the band! You guys are professionals!!! You don't just play music, you express emotions you share them with each other and create something indescribable. We, the audience, have the pleasure to feel a substitute of that by watching and listening. Thank you once again!
"concrete" might be one of the best riffs i've ever heard. That slide to open is so beefy with the funk immersed in it. Just started getting into wong and lettieri and I'm blown away by these guys. Fantastic, underrated excellence!
Having just seen Larry in Hawaii this is great! And having three such great players, all with such distinct voices, together I'm blown away. Keep it up Cory!
The low-key jam session at the end of the interview portion is something really special, 3 masters of their craft, just in perfect sync with each other. Fantastic stuff.
It really hurt when Larry said “because I’m here you’re talking about music that’s 45 years old you guys can move on to more relevant (I think he said contemporary but I definelty see how he felt) because I’ve seen so many examples recently of people from around Larry’s age group and above that instead of feeling honored and looked up to just feeling irrelevant and kind of out of the question while younger guys do their thing and I LOVE how much respect there is in the room towards Larry feeling like that because it’s truly insane how important his and other players from his generations’ work is to what’s going on today Especially in the players’ scene weather it’s drums or guitar or bass or whatever and I just think about it a lot nowadays and I love that it came up
Fantastic show!!! What a Privilege and an Honor to be graced by the Magic of Larry Carlton. As a drummer you three gave me a priceless insight of how I can approach my playing to compliment guitar structures without taking away from the heart and soul of the song. Thank You.
This episode had me smiling all the way through. I especially enjoyed the guitar talks with Larry and Mark... even picked up a few licks! Thanks so much!
three guitarists that are just unreal in one episode… when did we deserve this for free?
No shit! I was thinking the same.. how is this content free!!
Who are you leaving out?
It's like TV man. Regular tv. It was always free :-) National broadcast
Look at it as a investment
Reminds me of « it might get loud » with Jack White, Jimmy Page and The Edge
this whole show was just an excuse for Larry to give Cory and mark a guitar lesson and im so here for it!
Carlton blew me away!
lol I was about to comment that
Cory is a legendary cool guy. He walks the line between intelligent music conversationalist and fanboy with grace, dignity, and respect
Concrete is such a bop, it's a good year for Lettieri songs, the new Snarky Puppy track written by him is also very good.
Yes, Trinity is mindblowingly good! 🤯
One could say it's foundational.
@@D-meist in what way?
@@thmsrttg It's almost as if it's creating a new path to walk on. For me that song hits very HARD. You definitely wouldn't want to hit your head on it.
@@D-meist are you making puns based on the name of the first song?
Jon Lampley’s energy during performances are my favorite. His bopping hard early in Concrete is fantastic
Larry has the vibe of a zen master holding a blood stained axe - he’s simultaneously calming and terrifying on guitar. I’m picturing Wong and Lettieri practicing extra for this session, feeling nervous, and totally at ease after 5 min in the room.
Best comment ever!
And yet, Larry WOULD NOT HAVE DONE this project/interview if he didn't see something in the skillsets of Wong and Littieri, and the musical opportunity presented. I once saw Larry interviewed at a Sweetwater Gearfest where he didn't even pick up a guitar.
Also Larry Carlton has gotta be one of the smoothest guitarists to have ever played
True Legend
Never got too much into him but after watching this, i have to.
@@nickp440 Start with his solo on Kid Charlemagne.
So... what about Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, George Benson, Zachary Breaux - these comments...
Don´t get me wrong, Larry is a g.o.a.t. with his ability to outline a melody from a chord change - unparalleled but there are other players who did the same in THEIR way.
@@2m7b5 .. not to mention "Spiral" 1st cut on The Crusaders' 1976 album Those Southern Knights. Quarter inch goosebumps.
1:06:38 I'm gonna start using "Ill stay at home and watch the kids" as a term for sticking to the groove from now on because of that. Got me smiling
Mark was someone I always hoped would be on the show, but getting LARRY CARLTON as well? absolutely blown away.
This video and Rick Beato's interview of Bernard Purdie got me weirdly emotional. I'm only 26 but, to me, Carlton and Purdie embody musical excellence. The fact that we're able to get to know such musical titans through these videos for free is an absolute privilege!
follow your soul...it's on the right track
I think Carlton and Purdie embody musical excellence to everyone period (but good old Bernard sometimes gets a little carried away with himself lol!!)
I'd have to add (drummer) Narada Michael Waldon to that - he's also in his 70s and has such an amazing resume and great stories to tell. Him talking with Jack Conte and Ryan Lerman was fascinating.
So nice to hear this.
I'm 66 , Raoul and I'm glad you enjoy this music, I listen to since I was your age and even before.

Glad to hear Luke mentioned among the greats at both lead and rythm guitar - he's one of the best! You should have him as one of your upcoming guests!
Lol. Corey and Mark geeking out over Larrys lessons is the best. Can't imagine what a surreal experience it was for them.
Are you kidding me?!?!? My two newest favorite guitarists (Cory & Mark) chilling, talking music, and jamming with Larry Carlton - an old favorite, and true master of his art. Great stuff. This made my day. I've been playing almost 45 years, I loved seeing the new generation melding flawlessly with the older.
Mark Lettieri is such a beast 🔥🔥🔥
Larry Carlton played with the Wongnotes.
Words can't describe my Joy.
Thank you Cory.
Thank you all, guys.
This is amazing.
This was AMAZING, I think I've never seen an interview where Larry is such at ease. Thanks for sharing!
Beato's interview has a similar vibe, check it out
@@xebio6 he is a kick ass guitar player from Argentina, his gutar lessons are memorable, nevertheless in Spanish, quite sure he knows about Rick's channel.

+ 1 to having Lukather on this! Apart from the ridiculous playing, the stories he has are absolutely unreal!!
Only 0:13 seconds in and I already need to say it......I love this show. Please never stop doing what you do Cory!
The quality of the players, the content, the production, the chat is IMMENSE!! 🔥
Larry Carlton! Yes!!! What a show! Thanks Cory. Each one playing their own Signature Guitars. ;-)
Larry just emanates smoothness. The way he moves and the way he sounds.
My face hurts, from smiling, for an hour straight! 🤘🏼😸🤘🏼 So absolutely inspiring. Thank you guys. Bloody legends, all o' ya!
The G to C part is so awesome!!! Guitar is such a great and unlimited instrument. Larry and Mark just show us there are infinite voicing to play any harmony!
I’m loving this episode man. Helll yes. Nobody talks about this type of stuff
You can tell how much respect Cory has for Larry Carlton in the interview, real recognizes real
Season one was great, but I feel like everybody involved has really nailed the format with this season.
Hope this show goes on for a long time, if Cory & Co. don't tire of it!
Glad Cory is bringing Larry Carlton to new audiences that may not have heard of him. Something about the way he plays is just hypnotizing.
THESE ALWAYS JUST MAKE ME HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE SHED. I love these so much. They are a true gift to the world.
this has to be one of the best eps yet, love what you're doing and some amazing guests. keep it up!
Nods and snaps and thanks to Wilton Felder and Joe Sample, too... those guys were there with Larry 45 years ago... Magic! Nice video, and thanks you all!
Lampley vibing in the back of concrete is such a mood
Larry Carlton’s phrasing is just incredible
Glad to see Larry is willing to show these kids the way.
This is the way
De weah
Thanks so much for this.
Larry radiates mastery, how he goes from complexity to simplicity in such a meaningful way is brutal. And what a wonderful soul!
I love listening to Mark’s amazing playing with you guys.
The band, the talk, the jams, everything was AWESOME!!
When Larry plays the blues I automatically am in tears. seriously still untouchable he is.
39:53 Everytime I listen to "Help Me" (which is often) this chord gets me.
It is Absolutely Fantastic!!!!, to hear the old and new generation jamming together.
Christ... This is a Masterclass filled with guitary goodness...!!!
Absolutely joyful
Subscribed, pressed the bell
That "Here To Stay" song is such a nice bop, it has a little bit of that Soulive feel that I love.
This video is such a gift to everyone who loves guitar! I just received my Sire H7 in cherry sunburst like Larry’s this past week and it was one of the easiest playing and most beautiful sounding guitars I’ve ever touched. Doesn’t get much better than these 3 guys on 1 stage!

I understand now why my guitar teacher venerates Larry. What a touch, phrasing and sound ! Cory and Mark, you’re not legends yet just because you’re not old enough. You’ll be for sure ! Thanks Cory for all this awesome stuff, and legendary interviews.
When you're Larry Carlton, you don't have to wear white pants. LOL
Unlike Lee Ritenour? Ha ha!
😁
Love larry cory lettieri
totaly agree. these guys are really good....but still will always be out of their league when with LC
can i just listen to LC speak please?
Wholly $h!t Cory!!! Amazing show. Production is top notch. These 2 guests knock it out of the park. This is a mandatory watch for all musicians. Thank you. Subscribed.
Mr. Carlton’s technique is in a world all its own, and he can describe it in great detail, teaching all of us, the true mark of a master.
It's too good to be true, 3 super guitarists in this episode. This is a great guitar lesson too.
Blown away by the production on this, Corry never ceases to impress
All three are amazing. I first heard Larry during my soft jazz phase and I continued listening when i moved on.. I've been listening to quite bit of Mark lately and Cory is Cory. I think Cory is one of the best rhythm guitarists that ever lived. He's always in the middle of amazing music. This is the kind of music we should hear playing on FM
Rest easy Larry they have got your back...the future looks bright thanks to your trailblazing
Love Larry Carlton so much. Mark Lettieri is so funky, jazzy and smooth. Cory and the band are just plain awesome. Does it get much better?
“We could do this all day”
You guys literally DO this all day
This was an incredible interview. You all are so inspiring
This is amazing. Such awesome talent and inspiration. Amazing to see Mark and Larry Carlton play these grooves! Thanks Cory Wong for having them.
wow, i’m sincerely amazed and very impressed at the quality and talent you continue to deliver. guitar content has been around on youtube but not like this. to see you grow from the audio podcasts to vlogs to a full blown prime time variety show has been something special. happy to have seen you guys live on a recent tour. WELL DONE CORY! :)
Three masters in what they do, discussing about sound and play. Wow Cory.Lettiery's concrete is concrete!
Judge Judy..I love it. These episodes are so brilliant. And the music OMG!
Phenomenal video! The amazing Larry Carlton and the superb Mark Lettieri talking guitar nerd talk with funk ace Cory Wong... just phenomenal. Kudos to Cory for the great interview questions. Gees... that first song with Lettieri was jaw-dropping.

Mark Lettieri is such a smooth operator, and I love everything I've heard from him.
Dude howdafff are you pumpin’ out this quality w this frequency?! 🤯😭🤩🥳👏
Amazed to see Larry Carlton on here. Great episode. You're doing good! From the bottom of my heart.
First time listen "Anthem" from his album "Renegade Gentleman" blow me away when I was teen. Since that he is my guitar hero.
Loved how laidback Mark is. The guy's a BEAST on guitar yet he's just listening to Larry and Cory
"Here To Stay" sounds like some of that fire I used to hear on The Weather Channel's "Local on the 8's". Amazing!
What a great session with 3 of the best! 🎸🎸🎸
I remember when we only had four TV channels. Now we get to watch awesome niche content like this on UA-cam. It's a damn exciting time to be alive!! Thanks Cory!

I think this is my new favourite show. Only discovered Cory this year, so this absolutely made my day
Having just seen Larry in Hawaii this is great! And having three such great players, all with such distinct voices, together I'm blown away. Keep it up Cory!
This is the new standard for innovative musical distribution.
The low-key jam session at the end of the interview portion is something really special, 3 masters of their craft, just in perfect sync with each other. Fantastic stuff.
Watching the young kids. With the OG. Great stuff!

Love the Derek and Blake shout-outs!
Marks presence and playing brings everything up a notch (or 5)
I could listen to the conversation, and playing, the three had for hours and hours. Larry is from Olympus.
Fantastic show!!! What a Privilege and an Honor to be graced by the Magic of Larry Carlton. As a drummer you three gave me a priceless insight of how I can approach my playing to compliment guitar structures without taking away from the heart and soul of the song. Thank You.
Cory is The Core... Guitar's Showman! Bravo,The Maestro!!!
This episode had me smiling all the way through. I especially enjoyed the guitar talks with Larry and Mark... even picked up a few licks! Thanks so much!
