    A Gibson 335 and a Mesa Boogie amp on “Brother To Brother”. I feel like I just learned the meaning of life! This is surreal.

    So funny that Carlos and Jimmy Haslip, both who soloed on "Brother to Brother", play left-handed and upside-down. Brilliant player. Legend album.

    Brother to Brother is one of my favorite Gino Vannelli albums and Carlos KILLED on it! It's great to know what gear he used on that album.

    Brother to Brother album def put him on my radar.
    The track that really hit me was his über-funky, explosive pickin’ on Apaloosa. When I met him over the phone in 1986, he said that was the track of his that everyone mentions.

    Ah wow, a rare in-person video interview with Carlos! What an incredible player. I loved hearing about some of his adventures and the tools he was using at those times, although I low-key wish y'all had chatted about his appearance on the Chick Corea Elektric Band album, because that's where I first laid ears on the guy's playing and -- of course -- it was absolutely stellar. Just wish I knew what guitars/amps/effects he was using to get those sounds. Cheers though, this got me about 95% of the way there!

      @@davidsheriff9274 I finally saw that photo recently and wanted to come back and say yeah, he likely used his 335 and Mesa for certain solos. I'm guessing for the rhythm parts he used either Strat (seen in Part 1 of this interview), give how "spanky" those parts sound.

    Looks like a pair of Mesa Mark 1 amps, 1 without EQ, the main one with EQ.. and two of the Yamaha G50 112 II models that were made in collaboration with Paul Rivera.

    • @TechnoEmpire
      @TechnoEmpire  5 років тому +3

      Hi Ryan, Thanks for the inquiry. We are the ones selling the guitars. Carlos is semi-retired and just simplifying his rig to the bare essentials for the types of gigs he is doing now. Many session and touring guitarists do not take multiple guitars and amps on the road anymore. With that, I think Carlos was feeling it was time to get these guitars and amps into the hands of some players that can keep their legacy going! Hope that helps!
