Larry Carlton's "Point It Up" covered

[@danielmccann8325]

Unbelievable did not think anyone could cover this song. This was incredible.

[@Flavum]

Remarkable - I'm stunned. Well done, sir!

[@scubagrant6045]

Wow, not too many people on this planet can play that. Maybe just you and Larry Carlton. Congrats you nailed it

[@ysam1960]

I've seen this cover of yours before but it's been awhile. Just blows me away. Great, great job man! Love it

[@MrRBGIANTFAN]

I can't believe this was posted so long ago and I am just hearing it now. Thanks for posting - your playing is amazing!

[@francogrisi8399]

I've got to say dude.....That was wicked and to the Point!

[@danamcreynolds9456]

I'd forgotten how great Larry's early work is. Like many players, I spent a lot of hours on this one, without getting it. I see your comment that it took decades. Thanks for not giving up on it. You are one fine player.

[@leonleon3773]

excellent performance Satoshi well done & thanks for posting

[@martinmaccauley]

Holee Jeebuz! That totally blew the top of my head off! So great to be able to follow Larry's playing through your versatile fingers. Kudos Satoshi!

[@ghay1790]

Wow. Awesome. Really fabulous. I could play this pretty well about 30 years ago and had great fun doing so!!!, although I did struggle with the last few runs. I haven't heard the song in many years but was reminded of it tonight so I listened to it then checked youtube to see if anyone else was playing. It was my most favorite track when I played regularly, and I spent many hours/days/weeks/months learning it lol. To hear it played like that brings back wonderful memories of the fun I had myself learning it and playing it. It's really wonderful to see someone playing it so accurately and better than I did. Thank you soooo much.

[@Cradour]

Thank you for the compliment. It has been a while since I played this, too. I was so fascinated by Larry's play, which sounded magical to me.

[@nielsanderson4926]

I have been listening to you playing Point It Up from LARRY CARLTON And I am Amazed IT'S SIMPLY JUST FANTASTIC I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE AROUND THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD PLAYING THESE DAYS SONGS LIKE YOU ARE IT'S JUST THE BEST AND UNBELIEVABLE I'M GOING TO REPLICATE EVERYTHING YOU ARE PLAYING IN THE SOLO I HAVE BEEN PLAYING GUITAR FOR 58 YEARS AND I NEVER WITNESSED SOMEBODY LIKE YOU WHERE ARE YOU FROM

[@JazzStrat781]

Excellent, amazing job! Can't believe I have missed this version til now. Best to u man, u are a great player!

[@tobyman7]

Wow, just watching you cover this reminds me how furious Carlton was back in the day, wow, nice playing.

[@chrisjulieforever4628]

Man, that is awesome!!! I've been listening to this song for over 25 yrs. I have been given hope from your video, that, yes it is possible to play along with this masterpiece...but again, it took another masterful player to show me how. Going on 2 years now, and I still can not follow it like you do. If I ever accomplish this....I'll put my video up next to yours. Then ,only then will I be able to say, " I can play the guitar. Thank you for your inspiration. Chris.

[@Cradour]

Thanx to your warm words, Chris!

[@Cradour]

Thanks! It may seem that I am picking every note, but I use the combination of picking and legato techniques, which makes you at more ease to play fast passages. : )

[@Cradour]

Dear Nancy and all, thanks for the compliment! I am happy to hear that you like my guitar play.

[@harrybrown4807]

Great feeling with the way you play this song. Fantastico. H

[@profilercms]

Amazing cover and talent my friend. Bravo!

[@Cradour]

Thanx a lot!

[@dominickdepaolo6668]

So awesome! Loved it, I hope Larry has checked this out.

[@fredzeppelin3969]

Don't mind all that smoke. Just me burning my guitars in the backyard.

[@babizz]

i am so glad that you did this cover...i love this solo . You are very good...thanks

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

Spectacular. BRAVO!! Not easy by any means. Larry Carlton himself admits he does not have the ability to play this tune anymore. I'd still love to see somebody try and cover Carlton's tune "Tight Squeeze".

[@Cradour]

I am flattered to have such a nice word. Thank you very much!

[@itchieG]

Why has this video only 12k views?!? You absolutely killed it what a difficult song it is to learn. Amazing!

[@peterstauffer7986]

Definitely Nicely done, thanks for sharing

[@marceli155]

You are a master my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God with you

[@Cradour]

Thanx a lot!

[@philipperry3224]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@j-man699]

You are Great! Loved it. Very difficult task! Now do Cicada by the Rippingtons. Wait for it!

[@bubblehead78]

Superb. Very nicely done.

[@mwooly1]

You nailed it, once of the best guitar solos

[@maxkeeping]

This is amazing ❤️ incredible, so well done!

[@richsinger4620]

Great Job!!! My favorite guitar solo of all time!

[@guitarttimman]

Larry said that he used the patterns as a guitar practice, but later he decided to make it into song. Good stuff. I can also play this one, but it's hard for sure.

[@Cradour]

Thanks for the comment. It is good to know how this song was composed.

[@RayTheGuitar]

Totally AMAZING !!! Keep up the GREAT Work !

[@larryruke]

なんて素敵な演奏でしょう！　感動しました。

[@Golgo3075]

[@lionelcampos9868]

Excellent

[@glensarnel7237]

Great job!

[@babizz]

i have a request , can you play it again the exact same way ? But this time i want to see your face. bye the way, I listened to it more than 80 times.

[@edzappia2892]

Strong.

[@savvyshopperreviews]

badass, my friend.

[@jaydfn]

i was impressed ! nice job

[@cerion4]

Great!!!

[@manofrtimz]

dude, that is sick good! awesome job!

[@chriswillowberg9308]

Man, I've been listening to this song/"cassette" until someone swiped it from me in 1991.Didn't stop me one bit. Every chance I got to record it for myself, I would. Can't play it all the way through like you do. You are the first one to show me, and the world how to play this. I just went to a show in Seattle that Mr. Carlton played at "the jazz alley". I and another fellow guitarist, we shouted out for Mr.Carlton to play "point it up"... He acknowledged us by asking "how many guitarist in the crowd?" Then told us all the history behind the song, and said " I'm not going to play that fast song, I'm too old now, it might hurt me". The whole building laughed, and he did NOT play it. Bummer. Still good show. So you're the first. How long did it take you to learn it like you do in this clip?

[@Cradour]

Thanx for the comment. It took a long time to learn this tune, something like a couple of decades.

[@Cradour]

Thanks for the compliment. The guitar lines are basically composed of G dorian with some chromatic passing notes. It may get easier to play if you see three notes per string with one or two pickings, not full-picking.

[@tobyman7]

Damn that was perfect, nice nice playing.

[@cheekbrown]

Dude can really play.

[@Cradour]

Thanks for the encouraging comment!

[@piroann6487]

素晴らしい。こんな難曲が弾けるなんて羨ましいです。

[@Cradour]

Thanks! Glad to hear that. : )

[@Kwikshots1]

Brave endeavor! Great job!

[@edzappia2892]

Hey man, what gear? Ibanez Artist? What model? Effects? Amp? Direct? Spill it.

[@Cradour]

The guitar is Roland G-808. This is actually a guitar-synthesizer but I used it as a normal guitar because it sounds with rich resonance because of the through-neck. It's been a while since I recorded it. At that time, I used Mesa Boogie amp simulator in PODxt.

[@knowmusicman157]

And everyone thinks EVH was something! LC is something!!!

[@tommalts8807]

誤魔化しが全く無い。まさに快演ですね。

[@Cradour]

ありがとうございます。😊

[@kidpoker007]

Is this from a Transcription or did you transcribe it? Awesome job!!!

[@Cradour]

Thanks! This guitar is not Yamaha but Roland's. This is actually a guitar synthesizer, same as Pat Metheny's.

[@jntcw030]

gr-synthなんですね　素晴らしい！

[@Cradour]

Roland G-808です。スルーネックなので、弦の音がすごく共鳴します。

[@cpamiseso]

This is by far the best cover I've seen on YT. Cheers. Anyway, were you using a Yamaha guitar?

[@stringitydigity1]

Nice job!! Any pointers? I'm trying to learn this now...I've always dug this tune...

[@skaterx1780]

Any chance you have the tabs or sheet music?

[@j-man699]

Bravo, Satosi! You beat Larry!

[@OlemirCandido]

Nice job

[@srwaite7]

Woo hoo! 👌🏻🕶✌🏻

[@CRC1964]

弾きまくりましたねー。すばらしい！！！

[@kazu.k.1828]

この曲のソロ好きです。参考になるtabを教えてください！

[@Cradour]

耳コピなのでタブはないんです。m(_ _)m

[@梅山かずみ]

頑張ってるね！

[@nancyl2]

The synthesizer just yummie!!! ;-) Oh Yeah! Honey he can sweat all over me playing so majestically. Huh Huh Huh Looks cute too, what he shows of his face. You know women always like to see the Master's face.;-)

[@johndobson5590]

Too cool to fool!

[@Cradour]

Thanx

[@kouzmo10]

えがったよぉ。
