GUITAR (feat. Larry Carlton & Mark Lettieri)

[@davidkeffala-gerhard699]

three guitarists that are just unreal in one episode… when did we deserve this for free?

[@mattdoyle1554]

No shit! I was thinking the same.. how is this content free!!

[@aimDiego]

Who are you leaving out?

[@levondarratt787]

It's like TV man. Regular tv. It was always free :-) National broadcast

[@evalolacookie]

Look at it as a investment

[@albert3027]

Reminds me of « it might get loud » with Jack White, Jimmy Page and The Edge

[@MoreNerd101]

this whole show was just an excuse for Larry to give Cory and mark a guitar lesson and im so here for it!

[@Artefact41]

Carlton blew me away!

[@hunghoangmusic]

lol I was about to comment that

[@cowbellthunder]

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.

[@adityanemlekar]

Best comment ever!

[@ericrudd]

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.

[@iamchillytoy]

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!

[@FitzyStrings]

follow your soul...it's on the right track

[@jimcharles651]

I think Carlton and Purdie embody musical excellence to everyone period (but good old Bernard sometimes gets a little carried away with himself lol!!)

[@cooldebt]

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.

[@koho]

So nice to hear this.

[@crazydigitalmusic]

I'm 66 , Raoul and I'm glad you enjoy this music, I listen to since I was your age and even before. Bert

[@jacksoncox2343]

Also Larry Carlton has gotta be one of the smoothest guitarists to have ever played

[@CharlesFussilli]

True Legend

[@nickp440]

Never got too much into him but after watching this, i have to.

[@2m7b5]

@@nickp440 Start with his solo on Kid Charlemagne.

[@matto9734]

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.

[@cliodyncycwatch924]

@@2m7b5 .. not to mention "Spiral" 1st cut on The Crusaders' 1976 album Those Southern Knights. Quarter inch goosebumps.

[@morkmon]

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.

[@thmsrttg]

Yes, Trinity is mindblowingly good! 🤯

[@D-meist]

One could say it's foundational.

[@thmsrttg]

@@D-meist in what way?

[@D-meist]

@@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.

[@aimDiego]

@@D-meist are you making puns based on the name of the first song?

[@jamesforrest9837]

Mark was someone I always hoped would be on the show, but getting LARRY CARLTON as well? absolutely blown away.

[@max_435]

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

[@museumofoddities9748]

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.

[@fhnsab]

Cory is a legendary cool guy. He walks the line between intelligent music conversationalist and fanboy with grace, dignity, and respect

[@dennismccunney4462]

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!"

[@edon7176]

Jon Lampley’s energy during performances are my favorite. His bopping hard early in Concrete is fantastic

[@nickpeckenpaugh8023]

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!

[@skuciemba]

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!

[@profoundsamurai745]

Lol. Corey and Mark geeking out over Larrys lessons is the best. Can't imagine what a surreal experience it was for them.

[@PedroBellora]

This was AMAZING, I think I've never seen an interview where Larry is such at ease. Thanks for sharing!

[@xebio6]

Beato's interview has a similar vibe, check it out

[@feelinggrape]

Beato

[@AxlSixpounder]

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.

[@RobTai]

sending you love stranger.. you got this!!

[@spokaneman7327]

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!

[@IverJ]

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.

[@poasful]

Larry Carlton played with the Wongnotes. Words can't describe my Joy. Thank you Cory. Thank you all, guys. This is amazing.

[@Baribrotzer]

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.

[@TheRiddleMusic]

Mark Lettieri is such a beast 🔥🔥🔥

[@derekhenderson1730]

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.

[@vell__]

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! :)

[@Dweezil1996]

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!!!

[@matto9734]

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 ;-)

[@danielcarlheister680]

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.

[@bcp5296d]

Glad to see Larry is willing to show these kids the way.

[@herculesrockafeller]

This is the way

+ 1 to having Lukather on this! Apart from the ridiculous playing, the stories he has are absolutely unreal!!

[@blaeser13]

Only 0:13 seconds in and I already need to say it......I love this show. Please never stop doing what you do Cory!

[@den5zxz757]

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.

[@cliffdickson]

When you're Larry Carlton, you don't have to wear white pants. LOL

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.

[@jacksoncox2343]

I’m loving this episode man. Helll yes. Nobody talks about this type of stuff

[@figgsboson]

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!!

[@AugustRileyMusic]

You can tell how much respect Cory has for Larry Carlton in the interview, real recognizes real

[@iaindouglas8077]

Larry is just wonderful. Such taste and knowledge and class.

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!

Lampley vibing in the back of concrete is such a mood

[@jorgetenamusic]

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!!

[@zackguitar07]

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!

[@elrafa782]

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.

[@ericrudd]

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.

[@denzelpruett3931]

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!!😭

[@mamoskates8473]

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! :)

What an excellent show... and, I have been listening to Larry since the mid 70's and have LOVED listening to his releases all these years. LOVE LC!!! Concerning Mark... I have recently discovered him just this year. What I was immediately drawn to was his style... almost super simple, yet... I noticed immediately he has a nice touch, both on the instrument and the song. Fantastic player!

[@mayest5]

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!
