The Larry Mitchell Knaggs 

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

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!

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

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!

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! 🤘🤘

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Larry is such a cool guy and great guitarist !!

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.

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

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

Thank you Phil & Larry - well done!

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

Great job both of you😊 Thanks 🎉

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

Larry a true gent and an amazing muso for sure.

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

Excellent! Larry you rock man!!

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

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

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!

Very cool to have Larry in the video with you!

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

That is one stunning axe!!! ❤

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! 👍

Dude plays sick! Great stuff! Really inspirational vibes.

That was awesome, more artists should do this.

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

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

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

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

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

I love that Texas toast challenger behind you !

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!

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

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

Great Vid . Larry is awesome !

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

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

THE LIVING LEGEND IN THE HOUSE!! 🎉

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

Absolutely magical! Thank you for this brilliant episode.

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

Thanks Larry and Phil

Knaggs makes gorgeous guitars!!!

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

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

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

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

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

Brilliant artist, beautiful guitar, awesome episode. Thank you!!!

Larry Mitchell = Incredible!

Awesome video! Would love to see more of these.

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

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.

Awesome man. More !

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.

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

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

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

That is so awesome! Larry is great!

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

This was awesome!!!

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

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.

Beautiful instrument and i love Larrys hat . Very talented player .

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

Great idea. Enjoyed it!

Always enjoy these, but this one was super rad!

That's a really smart vibrato bridge design.

Just becamer a fan! Thanks, great video!

Really enjoyed this episode. The Larry guy, was super cool! Thank you.💯

Phil, really dig that stuff that rocks love the show

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

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

This! More of this! ❤👍

What a class act! A great episode!

What a gent😊 great deep dive into this guitar

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

Larrys playing is like Velvet Thunder

This was great. I hope more artists reach out to you. When you first featured Larry, I really didn't know who he was and immediately looked him up and started listening to his music.

Fabulous episode. Need to do it again. Here's a few names : Miles Kennedy and Marc Tremonti Paul Reed Smith Steve Vai Charlie Brown Tim Pierce Sophie Lloyd Tosin Abasi Bryan May Bryan Ewald Eric Johnson Eric Gale John McLaughlin Plini ........

This was.......awwwesome. I understand what you hear and what a great guitar player.
