[@Take-the-Ticket]

Larry is the guitarist's guitarist. So tasteful and precise, just wow. He found the "effortless" within.

[@I.am_Groot]

Facts

[@LarryMitchellmusic]

Thank you :-)

[@tauntauntaun42]

You can see what a light touch he has, it's incredible.

[@billvillamusic3625]

Larry is the nicest guy. Before I even knew his status I was talking to him on MySpace .. years ago. I shared a recording I made and he was so kind to give his thoughts. I had no idea he was a renowned artist, but he was humble, genuine, and just awesome in his responses. Class act all the way!

[@joesatchton212]

Larry Mitchell needs to blow up and get far more much deserved recognition. The guy has always been a musical monster.

[@carpathus]

Wasn't expecting to see LM in person. Surprised the heck out of me. Such a good human being, so humble and so talented. Really enjoyed this one. Cheers!

[@joeb8383]

Wow, that is something!! Larry is such a gentleman

[@MashaT22]

So cool! Thanks to Larry for loaning his personal guitar so we can check it out! And playing for us?! What a treat! The decision about the plate in the bridge pickup reminds me of the way a Tele ashtray responds - only better because it’s not laying on top like an ashtray, but really sits in a cavity within the wood. I really also understand the deal with stainless vs. nickel. I never tried a guitar with stainless steel, but there are pluses and minuses. As players, we want them to last longer. But for maintaining and working on them? Major pain. The nickel ones tend to wear faster, but high quality ones can still last years before even needed any minor repairs. If they’re a poor quality, expect to need to repair them faster. So as long as someone gets a guitar with really decent quality frets, that’s probably the best middle ground from both perspectives (especially if you’re working on your own guitars). Mid tier Epiphones seem to have great quality frets that hold up to abusive players, lol, so you don’t even have to invest a lot of money to get good quality nickel. Not sure about the lower end guitars. It would be interesting to do a nickel fret durability test among various brands and price points to see what holds up best these days!

[@RokDAWG1]

Larry is an awesome player! I feel like he doesn't get the love he deserves for his work. As far as Knaggs Guitars go...TOP NOTCH! I love my Steve Stevens SST2 guitar! It plays like a beautiful vintage guitar with a modern twist. Larry's model is an amazing guitar itself! The tones are incredibly unique! I love that! I'm thinking that my next Knaggs will be one of his models. I'll have to talk to Peter about possibly making mine a custom color! Awesome episode! 🤘🤘

[@danthegeetarman]

Wow, awesome to see an actual deep dive with a notable players guitar. Larry is an amazing guitar player. I know it’s not easy but I’d love to see more of these deep dives for other notable guitar players.

[@firecrackerheart]

phil, i gotta say-i truly appreciate how you straddle the line between humble and confident. also, your honesty and candor are probably the reason you have such a loyal and growing following. excellent gear review and excellent artist feature! thank you!

[@maidenthe80sla]

I saw the title and knew it was one of Larry Mitchell's guitars; then the man himself appears as a guest. Great to see his effortless and tasty playing in your home. Hard to believe it has been 5 years (2019) since I attended Larry's clinic at Zimm's Guitars.

[@jimwguitar3002]

Beautiful guitar! Larry is such a great player! Thanks for turning me on to him.

[@EmbelekoBand]

The most humble artist in the business. Very talented too 👍🤘

[@Da_Porkchop_Xpress]

Great guitar for a great man/player. Massive respect for Larry

[@agatzebluz]

That was different and VERY nice !! Thank you Larry and Phil

[@zackpack8]

Knaggs makes some of the most gorgeous guitars on the market!

[@JamminJim42]

Larry is such a cool guy and great guitarist !!

[@StoneXue]

Great video. Love how just genuine dude is as a person. Most non famous people cant be that genuine let alone people with Grammy's.

[@omen3766]

Dawn of a new Age....The pro player deep dive! Sweet!

[@KnaggsGuitars]

Thank you Phil & Larry - well done!

[@guitarz]

Knaggs are lifer guitars. Soooo good light and they rip!!

[@FretLevelMidnight]

What a great guy Larry is, happy to formally meet you Phil, loved getting to play the Knaggs, never got my hands on one before then the first one I touch is this one, haha, wild. Cheers.

[@MB57]

Amazing guitar. I think Larry could make just about any guitar sound great, but this one really suits his style.

[@robraaiii]

More Deep Dive with the Artist. That would definitely be cool. 🤘🏻

[@The-11]

Very cool of Larry to do this !! Thanks Guys !

[@workingnights84]

Wow!! Larry at the KYG Camp!! amazing 😍🎸👏🏻

[@scottakam]

Very cool to have Larry in the video with you!

[@ddpphoto]

Larry a true gent and an amazing muso for sure.

[@dlmyrs]

Great deep dive and interview! That was awesome, Phil.

[@lotusblossomclinic]

I love the artist deep dive. It provides insight into how artists think. And what they value.

[@elenbrandt290]

Great interview and exploration of the instrument! Loved it! Thank you.

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Well that was fun. I have a new player to check out.

[@rowbags3017]

That's such a neat idea to have a guest demonstrate and discuss their own guitar in detail. 😎

[@stephenshaver6659]

Great job both of you😊 Thanks 🎉

[@nuthinbutlove]

That is one stunning axe!!! ❤

[@joesatchton212]

You watch guitar players and realize that some just seem to have a bit more effortless fluidity and seemingly natural facility on the instrument. The great Larry Mitchell is one of those for sure. Very interesting choice of the Satch Track as a bridge pickup...

[@HeathFoley]

That was awesome, more artists should do this.

[@aeynghus]

How cool is it to have Larry come on for a review of his signature guitar?

[@63Spatch]

Larry is incredibly talented! Very cool he spent time with you!

[@Supermansdead81]

Dude plays sick! Great stuff! Really inspirational vibes.

[@michaelallen434]

You can tell it’s well used but also well cared for. A beautiful piece for beautiful music!

[@michaeld.3504]

So I’m listening to Larry Mitchell on KZbin Music and a notification for this video pops-up. Awesome! It’s a good day! 👍❤️🎸🎶✌️

[@brontis]

Thank you Phillip! We are massive fans of Larry, Guitars, and KYG. All the best wishes forever!

[@tommythiel9268]

I love that Texas toast challenger behind you !

[@robzagar4275]

Excellent! Larry you rock man!!

[@ZblockWoW]

THE LIVING LEGEND IN THE HOUSE!! 🎉

[@danielhorsley2259]

Maybe the best episode ever! Larry is an amazing player. Thank you Phil

[@shanewalton8888]

Very cool guitar. Thanks for lending it out, Larry.

[@picksalot1]

Congrats Phil, and thanks Larry for sharing your guitar choices and specs. It was very interesting and informative. What a fine guitar player and personality! 👍

[@victorvaldenegro4001]

I had the pleasure of seeing Larry do a clinic here in Vegas about 7 years ago. On top of his beautiful playing was his easy going nature. I brought in a Shrapnel CD from way back for him to sign. He got a real kick out of seeing that CD! We talked afterwards about my Rush tribute and his early days of playing Rush as well. Larry let me play his Knaggs guitar. It was phenomenal! Kudos to a real gentleman in the music biz!

[@jimwoodard64]

Larry Mitchell = Incredible!

[@GuitarGearGyan]

Larry was super dignified and very humble for such a great player. I hope many more artists come forward like him.

[@Knaggster]

Just the nicest guy in the business.

[@MACKHAWKSS]

the way phil lights up talking about him makes me so happy

[@Gene_Cali]

Having dinner and this popped up! Thanks to all responsible for this wonderful episode. 👍

[@zackpack8]

Knaggs makes gorgeous guitars!!!

[@Da_Porkchop_Xpress]

Larrys playing is like Velvet Thunder

[@henninghesse9910]

Great artist. Love that he is a fan of the show. Please bring in more pros so we can learn from their decisions why they chose their gear!

[@TheFlatPancakeTheory]

Larry is so good, been listening to him for years! Great guitar teacher too

[@rbecker9679]

What a cool guy. Thanks, Phil. Awesome as always.

[@johnnylayton1672]

Yeah there's admittedly magic in the higher output JB style pickups for which Jeff Beck himself may be its very best wielder, but I'm a bigger fan of lower output pickups myself & can hear Mr. Mitchell's musical rationale for preferring its sound as well especially for its rhythmic clarity & chime while sacrificing that buttery midrange glow that is the foundation of the JB humbucker lead sound. And your getting Larry Mitchell on your channel to geek out with you on guitar construction & features for us: LUCKY

[@dnick49]

Great Vid . Larry is awesome !

[@sgholt]

Thanks Larry and Phil

[@dexterj5615]

This was one of the coolest videos I've seen in a while I hope this spawns a bunch of nerdy here's my axe interview

[@richardb7686]

Larry is a great musician. Years ago he generously shared his Fractal Audio patch, which I used live for years.

[@dugbert5]

That's a really smart vibrato bridge design.

[@Sainte305]

This was awesome!!!

[@sebastian_meier]

This was such a humble interview and gear talk - really enjoyed it a lot :)

[@erikl6988]

Pretty sick guitar. Met Larry when my friend used to play bass for him. Cool as a cucumber and a phenomenal player.

[@MrBHBjr]

I usually don't leave comments but I would love to see this turn into a series!

[@terrellgruber]

The dissimilar metals in the bridge will react over time, brass and nickel maybe turn green at the hinge pin. Beautiful art piece guitar!

[@MikeStoj-wl8ct]

Amazing video. Thanks Phil and Larry. Well done lads!

[@thereaper987]

what a guy. great video. Phil was in awe, and watching him as Larry was playing was the best part

[@okayestguitar66]

His high gain sound is reminiscent of an Eric Johnson tone like from Cliffs of Dover with a slightly rougher edge. It sounded really good. This would be a great series if other artists would jump in and do it. Thanks Phil and Larry.

[@synonyx]

BRB going to download Larry's album. Seems like such a humble guy with a great smile!

[@PaulLacourse]

Two gentleman for one great video. The section where you ask him why this and why that was so spot on. Nice review. Hope you will be able to do some more.

[@scottpickett9779]

Awesome man. More !

[@chillpillology]

when there is no one left to tell you “no” you end up with this color combination. otherwise looks like the ultimate gigging guitar.

[@davidrees1840]

Sorry, never heard of Larry Miller, but WOW, now I've heard Larry Miller :)

[@gtr1952]

Very nice! Neck size/shape is perfect, and we use the same strings. Great Idea on the trem also! 8) --gary

[@lukesteverything627]

Absolutely magical! Thank you for this brilliant episode.

[@newmexicosaint]

This episode was fantastic! Loved Larrys playing and the discussion of frets and neck in regards to thickness.

[@martinmartin8871]

I am a fan of this episode. Super info and personalities.

[@romansone16radio39]

Great show! Thank Phil for hosting. The guitar looks amazing and it was really a joy to get to know Larry Mitchell. Now I’m off to checkout his music.

[@TheSavagederek]

Larry plays with a smoothness that most others dont have. Very Cool

[@FreakinFrankster59]

Very nice video. Thank both of you for taking the time and putting in the effort.

[@JoshuaC923]

i really liked that discussion of the choices! What a treat to listen to, thanks Phil and Larry!

[@Csharpflat5]

The pick guard is probably epoxy resin over veneer, with a satin epoxy paint over top..

[@avielkharrat5788]

Looks like success is coming to you and it is SOOOOOO desirved. You took this channel slow, didn't take any shortcut, stayed true to yourself. The fans love you... Take a homerun now Phil, GO FOR IT ! God bless you

[@Mr.Owl9]

Awesome Phil, I hope you do get more artist interested in doing deep dives of their guitars on your show, keep up the great work as always... Thanks

[@grene1955]

Wow! This was awesome! Larry seems like a very cool dude, and of course, incredible player! More please!

[@wineghost317]

That is so awesome! Larry is great!

[@intergalacticpimp8683]

Oh man, nice! I hadn’t heard of Larry until I saw him opening for Steve Vai a couple years ago. Holy crap. So good and the vibe and tone he set for the main act was… chefs kiss.
