- A perfect #wednESday with Mr. 335 Larry Carlton. Larry came in with his cousin Steve and our good friend Jim Hodson. Larry is currently living in Nashville, and he's in LA visiting friends and family. We honored to have Larry come into #NormansRareGuitars to talk a little bit about his career, play a little bit for us, and shoot the sh"t! Larry is playing a 1962 Gibson ES-335 with a stop tail piece and PAFs, what do you guys think?

Well said
Absolutely 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
To think that we almost lost Larry in 1988 to a crazed gunman outside of his home studio, "Room 335". Thank God he survived and is still playing beautifully over 30 years after that awful day. Larry, we still love you; thanks for sharing your great talent and soul. The world is a much better place with you in it!
Thank you jellyfish! Your words are so heartfelt and I agree totally
I’m from Lomita California originally like Larry, I never knew that until now. I remember the day he got shot as I was living down the road from him at the time.
Yeh, what was that all about? Some asshole shoots him in the throat! His Left arm paralyzed for a while. He was working on an album at the time...
I've been a fan of Larry's for years but I had no idea he'd been shot, what on earth was that all about ?
I heard he was shot point blank with a 357 magnum. it might have had 38s in it but he's very lucky to survive. I loved his strikes twice album back in the 70s.
I just love Larry's humility. Nice guy.
that attitude is part of how you get as good as he is.
Mr. Carlton, we need you now more than ever...R.I.P., Walter Becker
Those beautiful old Gibsons were built in my hometown, right down the road from me. It's still a very special place and I visit there often
loved hearing Larry play with Fourplay
Love Larry Carlton. One of the masters at his craft.
Agreed, I've heard that Large Mouth Bass and Perch fear him!
Incredibly beautiful !!! All of we Japanese guitarists are like your disciples. Mr.Carlton is the God of the guitar to us.
What about the incredible Jimmy Sakurai?
What a great guy - Larry Carlton !!!! ... And how this beautiful ES-335 sounds in his hands !!!! ..................My heart is too full for words !
Evan Gart Nice, bro. Let music move you! (Let great music change you...)
I loved Larry when he played with The Crusaders, as well as all his solo stuff. Just a legend in guitar world.
One of the best guitarists ever !! In my opinion! Seems like a very nice man.
Larry's solo on kid charlamagne is one of the all-time greatest ever
Can't decide between his work on Kid Charlemagne and Don't Take Me Alive as my favorite Larry Carlton offering. They're both amazing.
As far as price on Carlton's 1969 335, $850 in 69 translates to $6,237 today. Sweetwater sells them new for $3,300 to $4,000 today. Looking at the past, the older you get, the better it was. I know. I'm 72, and it's true!
Larry Carlton...what a nice feel in his sound..it's just great ..
Omg...that's great playing, and sound. Thanks for all the great music Larry. Class act!
I think everyone needs a 335 and it's got to be a Gibson, what a treat. Thanks Larry, thanks Norm.
Travis, Larrys son, is an amazing bass player. Saw him in 2008 playing with his dad at the Jazz Cafe in London.Travelled 600 miles round trip to see that gig and it was worth it.
Such a nice chap, and one of the greats, I wish I had one third of his talent.
third my ass...Ill take 10 percent
Always inspiring to hear Larry Carlton.
Saw Larry and his band at the old Chestnut Cabaret in Philadelphia in 1990........He was just...........................awesome as usual
Can you imagine the things you could learn for this man if you had the chance to have a sit down jam with him.
Larry Carlton is an institution in Jazz. Great that he keeps it alive. Love it!
Larry is an institution in Carltonisms who had us hostage in the late 1970's! Clearly my favorite guitarist total respect.
di meola Gambale Holdsworth Mclaughlin Henderson Shawn Lane Kotzen Becker Gales Via Satch Johnson too name a few
not a patch on the real players, people like joe pass
Great interview and its always a treat to catch LC with a 335 in his hands. Thanks Norman.
Larry 'Mr 335'
As great a person as he is a player
Great videos Norman! 🎸
Absolutely million billion trillion dollars worth of class and talent humble as they come and genuine too
Great video Norm! Thanks for giving us something useful and enjoyable to watch!
What beautiful tone, what a great musician/artist...I always enjoy listening to Norm talk to these greats👍👍
yes, that's what struck me...that beautifull tone was there ..instantly!!
Yeah Mr Larry. If I had a music store I would lose my mind if you came in. As a guitarist I am floored just to see how down to earth you are and your son is amazing -- be proud!!
Mr. Carlton is an American Treasure ... and so humble.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Roxy, here in LA,
when he came out with Strikes Twice.
I bought his first few albums.
The solo and fills on Kid Charlemagne are just the
tip of the iceberg regarding what Mr. Carlton can do.
What a treat! Larry is one of my favorites. He's also a very kind person. 👍🎼🎸
The tone is outstanding. Nice guitar and he is an awesome guy.
One of those handful of guys early on that totally made me wanna play guitar. Great to see you still strumming the git-box Larry. You're a national treasure by now!
Norm, its great what you have put together over the years, with the store, and guests and video's wish you the best.
Best guitar player on norms channel thus far, and there have been some greats... nobody can compare with his playing. Thoroughly enjoyable
A frikin men brutha.
CLINTON DUNN bonamassa?
Larry Carlton,bringing joy to millions one note at a time.👏👏👏👏👏
Larry Carlton s just so beautiful a guitar players big fan since the Crusaders keep on keep that same old feeling
Wow...what a touch and what tone. I love the 335 and LC is the reason why.
Man...I hope he isn't having any nerve type illness (Parkinson's,etc.).
Live long and prosper Mr. 335...stay in good health for the health of your many fans out here!
I too have noticed, Rick Beato did an interview with Mr. Carlton, you can watch it for yourself. We all get old (myself included), hands don't work the same way they did decades ago.
It's been said "Getting old is painful and expensive, but still better than the alternative".
I can't say enough good things about Mr. Carlton that haven't already been spoken/written, he truly is a gift to us all.
Myself, I consider Larry Carlton the Guitar Players Guitarist.
May we be Blessed with his music and inspiration for many, many years to come.
I like this guitar man since years, good feelings
I love Normans attitude . Let them play . Play they do .All of them . Guy has a dream job .!!
Just the best So well spoken. He is so kind & humble. Thanks so much.
Thank you Larry ... I was lucky enough to see you here in Sydney Australia ,one of the most memorable concerts I've been to. True gentleman and amazing performer.
I just can't get enough of these Wrecking Crew Musicians. This is top of the line. So Major. I'm in AWE
Thumbs up before watching. Love his groovy sophisticated style -- cool playing funny steely dan story.
What a player! Love Carlton music... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That 335 is in such great condition!
Larry Carlton has always been such a class act.
We love having you in Nashville Larry!!!! It has caused many musicians to move to the Music Capital!!! Definitely one of my favorite Guitarists of all time!!!!
Possibly the greatest guitarist of our 21st century, and he loves the Lord!
He plays at 6:05
a couple of us are actually interested in his anecdotes
Barnaby Wylde
Well, many weren't. I didn't make you skip.
god's work
boring pair of old farts... 6:05 is when the real talking starts for oooo about 12 seconds.... ffs not getting that time back
You apparently have no clue who Larry Carlton is then.
Don't take me alive....All time best intro.
Well...it’s pretty much the *only* guitar solo intro....as it should be. Any other will end up being compared to Larry’s and fall short
listen to his alone but never alone acoustic song beautiful...saw him at the Bottom Line in nyc years ago one of the very best shows....any genre larry really nails it!
"We're not worthy, we're not worthy." The man is a legend.
You are right - the man is a legend, but, exactly what is it that "we are not worthy" of ?
@@BernieHollandMusic You didn't see Wayne's World?
When Mr. 335 is your sub, you know you've made it.
I was fortunate enough to see Larry....an amazing guitarist and artist!! Awesome!!
One of the greatest ever!! LC is a hero to many of us and it's so great to see him still performing and kicking ass! We're not worthy! Always inspiring Mr.335. 🙌
5:02 I love that a legend with such an extensive library of music said that. I practice every single day, but if someone asks me to play something I’m like…. Oh boy what should I play?
One of my favorite musicians!!! AWESOME!!!
Larry is such a great guy, only gets better when he plays.
Proves that there is plenty of room at the top and guys like Larry prove that you don't have too have a monster ego even if if you are a genius.
Larry Carlton is probably responsible for thousands of guitarist vocations, and his humility honors him ! Monsieur Carlton…
God! Once he plays we are all blown away!
One of the greatest of all time. Larry's playing on Royal scam is amazing. Seems a really nice bloke too!.
I was introduced to Mr. Larry Carlton in 1969 by a band mate of mine named Jamie Shane, who was a next door neighbor and a close friend of Mr. Carlton in Newport Beach, CA. Jamie Shane told me that Mr. Carlton was selling a motorcycle, a Honda Scrambler, and I bought it from him. I rode it home to Hollywood where I used to live, and I almost killed myself because I barely knew how to ride a motorcycle, what an adventure when I got on the freeway! A couple of years later The Crusaders double album came out with Mr. Carlton playing in it, I was blown away! Then “Lighting Strikes” came out and I was mesmerized by his solo on “Mulberry Street.” I still have both albums. Backtrack: the day that I went to Mr. Carlton’s house, he was jamming with a couple of friends, one of them was his longtime keyboardist sorry to say that I forgot his name, but they were smoking hot! Playing jazz, blues, etc. To this day Larry Carlton is one of my top five favorite guitar players ever, and indeed, not only is he a phenomenal musician, but also an outstanding human being.
I was lucky and got to see The Classics Concert last night at Citifield in NYC. As Larry stated he was filling in. Terrific concert, by The Doobie Bros, Steely Dan, and The Eagles, all were really excellent. Larry made my night playing Kid Charlemagne, the solo note for note, perfection and grace! Thank you!
Awesome!!...wish he could have played some more, one of my heroes, his guitar break on Hill Street Blues, genius! 👏🏻😌
Great stuff ! Always love visiting Norm and all the cool guitars when I am in the Valley.
Wow! Larry Carlton! A truly great guitarist and decent guy, but a bit surprising to see that he seemed nervous about playing.
What it is, is, Larry always deflates his own ego,, as others build it up! That's the sign of a humble man! It's funny though,, when I first heard Larry play on the radio in 1980 or so, playing "MIDNIGHT PARADE",,, off of his "STRIKES TWICE" album, I was knocked out! I had never heard guitar playing quite like that before! And the very next day I went and bought that album, and IMMEDIATELY got to work on learning his technique(s). When ever I would listen to Larry play, I would get goose bumps! No other guitarist did that to me! And years later, when I jam with my local musician pals on both the blues jam night, and the jazz jam night,,, almost always the audience and even the musicians look at me very intently, and at times it bothers me, which I'm sure is what Larry feels as well, because of his humility. And people always tell me things like, "wow, you have such emotion in your playing",, or, "hey, you gave me the shivers",,,,,,,, to which I always reply, with MUCH gratitude,, "Thanks to Larry Carlton"!!!! And always try to get them to start listening to Larry's music! Larry Carlton may be the best overall guitarist of all time!!!!
That can happen when you play by feelings. Trust me, I know.
l
Yeah, suddenly every song you know shoots straight out of your head and you have to force yourself to relax until you get a feel for something... often ad-libbed. It has happened to me a thousand times.
Makes me admire and appreciate even more the people like Mark "Million Tunes" Agnessi, and the guys over at Anderton's. They just grip it and rip it!
Oh!Larry! I will be waiting for you to come back to Japan.
Great guitar master
He has Perfact and beautiful sound
What a great interview.. and Larry is so grounded. Perfect!
Man the guitar looks like its brand new! Beautiful
The GREAT Larry Carlton..........
PRICELESS!!! 🎸💚
Larry seems to be a great guy, reserve fella. I bought his album when it came out, to this day he still amazes me, especially in “point it up” solo, his in he’s own league, everybody else is just a copy of that style,
thanks Larry,
you’re the man ✌🏻
Norm you crack me up man! "I used to play like that and then I woke up" I remember saying that in school a lot....Crap!!! Does that make me old too? LOL
I used to work at Mr. B's ha ha great memories. Love your playing Larry.
Thnx Norm, Larry & Jen. Just a great vid. Love the stories.
AHHHH my childhood. The old Peninsula Center in Palos Verdes CA. - Mr Bs for Music. I bought my first 45s there for 99 cents, and I remember renting a trumpet there for my elementary school music class. Remember when schools had a music class? Little did I know Larry Carlton bought his famous 335 there. $850 in 1969 was a pile of money.
Kent, I remember Mr. B's! Bob Knight worked there, and was the man that sold Larry that 335!
What Larry just played there was SO hip! He pushes the blues like no other....
Radical such a nice man, great, great musician, learn what I can from him. Great interview! Made my day for sure. Hope he catches the big one!
I've always wanted to own a Gibson ES-335 since 1972. I just couldn't afford it. But my first Brand name guitar was a 1972 Fender Telecaster . I wish I still had it!
I have an Epiphone Casino (2003) that I love but, its not the 335. This past Sunday, my buddy hit the Super Bowl Pool on his job. He won $30,000! Maybe I'll borrow
some of that for a nice 335! With this guitar, you can play all styles of music! 🎸
Thank you for sharing. Such a sound!
holy shit, having that guy playing at your store must have been awesome
haha, Larry is the backup for Steely Dan on their tour , well i hope he appreciates the opportunity, nice
216trixie so , it was you who inspired steely dan's name, well i hope you appreciate the honor, haha , nice
The other concert of the three that Larry played on was the Greenwich (CT) Town Party..Located right were I have my regular day gig! Didn't make it though, had a gig of my own that night. If I knew Larry was playing, I would have cancelled on the spot.
WOW!, and fishing too huh? amazingly humble and well talented....nice axe
That's the master Larry Carlton.thanks for posting.
that was awesome
Totally agree. Absolutely fab guitarist and Es- 335 style guitars are amazing👍
A Legend who can handle success and money. So many can't! I drool when I look at that guitar.....62 ES 335 Cherry TDC.....wish I had $20,000 plus to buy it!
from New Zealand...i would love to see Larry play here..
Fun interview, yes...but WHOA that is one gorgeous guitar! The cherry red finish on that '62 has the most luxurious warm silky satin glow, I guess that's what beautifully maintained nitro looks like 55+ years.
"play the damn solo, Larry" ;-) Man, I guess that's pressure ;-) ....such a nice story
I was happy to see Larry Carlton play alongside Jon Herington in Vegas. Larry came on for Kid Charlemagne and did a wonderful job on the few songs. Black Cow and Kid Charlemagne. The next day I was lucky enough to get a guitar lesson from Jon Herington!!
So much character in is playing. Very down to Earth as well
Thanks for posting... one of my favorites. Gotta get over there.
One of the biggest regrets of my life involved Larry Carlton, it was a Gibson event and Larry was the featured artist that day. Before the show you were let into a room to try the latest product. I'm not a real jazzier I'm more of a, all arounder type. So I was pretending I knew how to play some jazz when Mr. Carlton came over and started talking to me. He couldn't have been a nicer guy. He seem to have zero ego. I was telling him I was an avid reader of Tom Tedesco column in Guitar Player magazine and he shared many Tedesco stories with me. Just as he was leaving he said, " you know, I hate doing these things by myself would you want to come up and do a few with me?" My immediate response was, "Oh no,no,no!" In an almost cartoonish voice. He genuine looked hurt! I don't know why I chickened out, he was such a class act I'm sure he would have saved me from looking too bad. I think about that every time I hear his name. Lol
You missed an opportunity there !
Larry Carlton & Robben Ford is why I bought myself a ES335. Although I will never ever be a skilled guitarplayer like Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Joe Bonamassa, Josh Smith or Kirk Fletcher... I enjoy picking up a guitar and play. And I enjoy listening to the guys that can play!
I just want to say that you Sir Mr. Norm have so much experience you are a Class Act and know your business respect !
yo this guy is such a great player
Jeezus! Larry Carlton playing live with the Dan! Doesn't get any better than that. The bootleggers better be out in force for those gigs!
