This guitar lesson is about the great Larry Carlton and his take on using triads when improvising. This is based upon what he calls 'chord over chord' and is sometimes referred to as the Super Arpeggio 🦸🏻♂️. This chord stacking approach leads to what Larry calls his 'money notes', those head-turning upper extensions💰.
We'll be combining triads, using Triad Pairs and viewing chords from multiple angles, and this is great particularly if you feel like you're 'stuck' inside the scale shapes. Using triads in this way can really transform your playing and give you a fresh perspective when soloing.

This is a fantastic lesson breaking down the magic that is Mr Larry Carlton. Larry remains one of my all time favourite guitar players. If I'd ever wondered why, then this video aptly reveal his secret. To us intermediate players this is about a month worth of learning concept here to enable you to capture that Carlton magic.
This is,by far, the best breakdown of Larry's approach and the whole "stacking triads" approach. The examples are excellent. I'd love to hear more of you playing - anything out there?
Hey thanks so much! Yes there's stuff out there, but no solo material - yet! I need to put all my stuff on Soundcloud and I'll eventually put a link here on YT 🙏🏼
That's what I was waiting for . Your examples are excellent . Wonderful ! 👌👍
Thanks Franck - glad you're enjoying them!
Amazing lesson!!! I teach professionally but i still learn a lot over videos of yours❤ sending love from Hong Kong my friend! 🫶🏻

Thank you for that wonderful lesson! As always very interesting and a lot to learn. Sounds so great!
My pleasure! 🎸🙌🏼
An amazing lesson for both content and presentation. So sophisticated.
My absolute pleasure Matthias! 🙌🏼
Just found you Steve. Best explanation of Larry's use of triads, and how to actually apply them, that I've heard. Liked and subscribed, thanks 😀
Nice one - thanks John! 😄
Great lesson! glad youtube finally recommends something useful

Bravo
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks!
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Very clear, detailed, and easy to understand. Easy to see now why Larry"s solos are so good. Great job!!!
Thanks a lot! Yeah, Larry's the man 😎
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
I really appreciate comments like this - thank you! 🙏🏼
5-Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Great video. It is all still out of my grasp and above my skill level, but I get it. A wise person knows what they don't know. You help me get glimpses of what I don't know. I'll keep at it and hope it all clicks one day. Thanks for the great lesson.
Thanks Pozo - yes, great attitude - all these things take time to bed in - I'm sure they'll click if you keep at it! 💪🏼
In the seventies , I bought Leon White’s book with transcriptions of Larry’s first three albums. The only instructional chapter in the book discusses The Super Arpeggio: keep stacking alternating major and minor triads until the notes really go outside of the home tonality. If I can find the book, maybe I can upload that chapter. I have also asked Larry about it during a clinic. Also, Larry talked many times in different UA-cam clips how he was fascinated by the fact that playing an F bass note over a simple “cowboy chord” D chord voicing on the top strings, it resulted in a very sophisticated F13b9. Unfortunately, I have never been able to use this concept in my playing, but your video helps a lot. And you really nail the 70s Larry sound. Cheers, Anton
Nice one Anton - I've seen that book online, but it's super expensive - it'd be great to see that chapter. Cheers for the comment - much appreciated! If you want to dig into that 13b9 sound I deal with it in my Robben Ford video - super useful in a blues 🎸
I've still got that book! Came out in 1981.
Way cool Steve! Your explanation was much clearer than even Larry's on his instructional video. Well done!
Thanks Tom, praise indeed! I must admit, when I first saw that video I loved the playing, but the triad stuff was like, whaaaaat? Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
@@SteveAllsworth Sometimes the real genius's of the instrument can't explain how they do what they do as well as they actually do it! Keep them coming Steve!
That happens a lot! Cheers 🙏🏼
Fantastic and beautiful. How you can bend 11 gauge strings amazes me...
Cheers Ian! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Steve, thanks and congratulations for such an amazing video!! I really admire everything about what you do: the playing, your presentation style, the superb video editing, everything is of the highest quality! I also have a guitar YT channel with about 120k subs and, if you ever want to meet just to exchange experiences, please let me know. Congratulations once again and it's a pleasure to be in touch with you!! Best wishes regarding all of your projects!
Hey @PedroBellora - Thanks for the very kind words - I've come across your videos before - I love the Argentinian accent (if I'm not mistaken!) so it's great to keep my Spanish up to standard and hear your very natural style! Sorry to say I haven't subbed, but I will now! You're much further down the road than me - congrats on your +100K - I'd love to have a chat sometime! 🙌🏼
@@SteveAllsworth That's great!! I've just sent a message to your IG. Hope to see you soon!
I subscribed within the first 30 seconds of this video!
Awesome!! 🙏🏼🎸
Everything that sounds good, sounds good for a reason. And once we know the reasons (music 🎶 theory ) then we dont have to guess, or get lucky to sound authentically good, and with diligent practice, talent and ambition, potentially great...
Thanks for the well thought out, and organized explications on 🎶 videos.

100%! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Tasty, tasty licks, Steve! I'm getting hungry just listening to you, haha.
Haha - thank you! 😋
Hi , Great lesson! Thanks! Could u kindly describe your setup for the backing track - Drums and Chords in this video??
Thanks - the drums are a loop from the good people at Yurt Rock - I've messed around with them a bit - I think it was from a funk pack, but I can't be sure. The chords are just a West Coast style E Piano - pretty much following what the chart says - plus some palm-muted guitars to give some extra Larry sauce!
Thanks very much!!
Hi Steve, i'm a new follower from Germany and i like your licks and your way to explain their origin very much!
Now there's one question left: how do you generate the tone of your guitar in the videos? Any effect pedal? Or just the amp? I'd love to imitate it when I practise.
Thank you, Klaus
Hey Klaus - thank you very much! If you scroll down through the description, all the pedals/guitar/amp details are there 🎸 Best of luck with the practice!
Your picking technique is very similar to Larry's. Do you have a video on picking technique?
Cheers Simon - it's something I might look at in the future for sure
Fantastic breakdown of the ideas, and great playing. I’m intrigued by the tone. It sounds very “Dumble-ish”. Are you playing through a real amp or something like a Fractal?
I wish it was a real Dumble! But yes, real amp (Fender Deluxe) - the voodoo comes from an Analogman King of Tone pedal however! 💪🏼
Very helpful.
But, I play an American Fender Stratocaster, and I'd like to know what you'd suggest as far as effect pedal(s)
in order for me to replicate the sound
you're getting here. Would a Mojo Mojo
TC Electronics Pedal with a Compression
Pedal do the job here, and if so what knob settings would you recommend? Thanks.
@2HimTru - I'm not super familiar with that pedal, but I know it's got plenty of gain and headroom, so should work well. I'd personally used the bridge Strat pickup and darken the EQ slightly on the pedal and have plenty of mids - Larry used a surprising amount of drive in the early days, so don't hold back. I don't think you'll need a compressor. I use an Andy Timmons pedal on a Tele in bridge pos and I can get it sounding pretty close to a humbucker! Hope that helps 🎸
Brilliant information, and demonstration, bought the backing track already. Is the TAB downloadable as well ?
Ah fantastic - glad you enjoyed the lesson, I hope you're enjoying the track! Annoyingly, BMAC doesn't allow PDF uploads/downloads on the main page... They're jpeg, so you should be able to save them as pictures?
Thanks@@SteveAllsworth I will learn a great deal from this lesson, I immediately started to consider how one could use the same approach in a minor key, but I need to digest your lesson first.
@Bluesmandesign61 that's great - you'll find the minor key stacking is even better in a way, as you can get all the way the 13th without anything sounding outside/weird 👍🏻
As a follower of Larry's playing since the 70s, I must say you have captured the spirit of his playing extremely well. But if I'm not mistaken, Terry Trotter got him away from playing triads so much 😁
Thank you! Haha, yes you're probably right. - I guess I'm paying homage to 70s Larry - maybe I should've made him look younger in the photos! 😄🤘🏻
@@SteveAllsworth 70's Larry is unbeatable - as is 80s.... 90s....😃 I must say, your playing sounds remarkably influenced by Larry, but not like a Larry clone - and that's hard to do!
Yeah he's an absolute legend whatever the era - thanks again 🙌🏼
It's usually the other way around. Normally jazz players start out learning the more linear chromatic bebop style and get into the triads and pentatonic thing after that.
@@davidsheriff9274 That's probably true, but since I started as a rock/blues player, I did the pentatonic thing first. But, I'm sure I've heard Larry say that Terry Trotter got him away from doing the triads thing.
Hey Steve, quick question. Is the stacking approach different between major and dominant? Because on the Bb major, you’re alternating maj/min, and eventually run into a non diatonic note (#11). But on the dominant example, your second triad isn’t a minor, you do a F#diminished. If you followed the same pattern as the Bb major you would instead have had F#, A, C#. How come it’s different? Anyways, great content as ever. Thank you 🙏
Hey Matt - yes absolutely - I've called it the D super arpeggio, but really it's an extended D7 arpeggio, so therefore the F# triad has to be diminished or it becomes a regular Dmaj7. The alternate major/minor only works on Maj7 and minor7 chords (swap around for m7). Thanks for watching and the comment! 🙌🏼
@@SteveAllsworth brill thanks! Makes sense.
Keep up the content 😌
@5:28 within the "lydian triad pair" section, how did you end up with a E natural? Diatonically speaking, it should have been a E flat thus making an A diminished triad, not A minor. Is it treated as a modal interchange?
It all comes from Larry's method of stacking alternate Major then minor triads when visualising Major 7 (he also does it over minor 7 chords, but the other way around).
@@SteveAllsworth 🤯 thank you sir. I'll incorporate that into my playing.
How are you getting that sound? What amp, pedal, ? Setting?
335 bridge pos - Analogman King of Tone (with drive & distortion engaged) - Fender Deluxe Reverb - Bit of delay/reverb in Logic 👍🏻
I wanted to buy your tabs but its putting me thoughan entire thing of signing up for buymea coffee...it' wants my banking info...I thought we could just buy them?
Hey that's great - I'm pretty sure you don't need too sign up to BMAC if you want to buy an item - it's handled through Stripe, so no more than credit/debit card, Google/Apple Pay etc. Let me know how you get on as I'm sure I could arrange it privately via PayPal 👍🏻
@@SteveAllsworth ok ty will try again later!!
1st super arpeggio = Bb lydian = Bb D F A C E G
2nd super arpeggio = D mixolydian = D F# A C E G B
Both diatonic. Larry doesn't add more outside notes ?
Hey David, if the first Bb arp is extended any further we'd end up with a b9 so that might be a little too outside. Larry mostly does this super arp on major7 and m7 chords and I'd say his outside lines mostly come from Mel minor and dim scale shapes - there are however a whole bunch of amazing outside triads you could use over dominants - he sometimes uses the 7b13 triad - so B maj over D7
Can I purchase though Paypal some how?
If you send me an email I can arrange it tomorrow? info@steveallsworth.com
@@SteveAllsworth Thanks Steve I just sent email to you
I think I found it but will be paying in US dollar
Yep, this works 👍🏼
You lost me the first minute ! Maybe I should try in the morning with strong coffee… Thanks anyway 🙏
I find strong coffee is the solution to most of life's problems! Best to you 🙌🏼
Me too. I got the first triad stacking discussion then the example went into hyperspace for me. I guess it's above my level for now 🙂.
awesome
Cheers! 💪🏼
