Larry Carlton is an American guitarist who built his career as a studio musician in the 1970s and '80s for acts such as Steely Dan and Joni Mitchell. He has participated in thousands of recording sessions, recorded on hundreds of albums in many genres, for television and movies, and on more than 100 gold records. Larry delivered his self-titled debut for Warner Bros. in 1978, shortly after he was recognized for his ground-breaking guitar playing on Steely Dan’s Royal Scam album. (Carlton contributed the memorable guitar solo on "Kid Charlemagne.”) He released four more albums for Warner Bros., Strikes Twice (1980), Sleepwalk (1981), Eight Times Up (1982), and the Grammy-nominated Friends (1983).
He continued studio session work and touring in between, emerging again in 1986 on MCA Records with an all-acoustic album, Discovery, which contained an instrumental remake of Michael McDonald’s hit, "Minute by Minute." The single won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 1987. Carlton’s live album, Last Nite, released in 1987, got him a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance.

It's the early 80's, I'm in a record shop in London, England in my lunch hour and I hear this sound that reminds me of Steely Dan's Peg. I ask at the desk and find out that it's Room 335 and I buy the album. After giving up trying to learn it I wrote to Larry Carlton and was amazed to get back a long hand-written reply along with a copy of a hand-written chord chart for Room 335. This man is a true gentleman. Thanks Larry for everything!

Larry is a class act. I remember watching Eric Clapton's Crossroads DVD featuring a ton of great guitarists. All of these guys strutted their stuff to the max, ad nauseum. Except Larry. He's a master of understatement and leaving you wanting more. The song on the DVD he played was Josie. He played the melody to the tune but when the opportunity came up for soloing, he gave it to his tenor player. That's class. He doesn't need to strut his stuff. A master doesn't need show others he's masterful. He just knows he is and is content with knowing that much. I've modeled so much of my playing after him but I simply don't have his restraint. I still play a lot of notes. It's going to take a few more lifetimes for me to develop the class of Larry Carlton. One of the true greats.

Ricks speaks their language without being seen as a 'know it all'. He gets their respect fairly early on, it's no more evident than on the Sting interview.

He looked ready to dismiss Rick as one of the many frauds that have likely interviewed him in the past, but aft 5 mins, he was fully engaged.

There is enough guitar to listen to for a lifetime on “Help Me.” The outro is so emotionally Malibu and is as integral as words to that song, it just fits perfectly. Joni called his guitar style “Fly Fishing.” Rick said in the interview that back in the day Larry seemed to play on all the classic albums that everyone should own and Larry says yeah “it was a great time to be a studio musician.”

@billknudson7895 2 года назад

The first time I saw Larry perform, he was playing on “Midnight Special” with The Crusaders. I had no idea who he was. They did “Stomp And Buck Dance”, which was a one chord tune that pretty much focused on the groove. Then I start hearing these uber-tasty licks about a minute before the song ended. I just happened to have my cassette recorder taping the show, so I was able to go back and dig in to hear what he was doing. Naturally, I wanted to hear more, so I went out and bought the album that the song was on, but it just didn’t have the fire that the live version did. I don’t how much time passed before The Crusaders released the “Southern Knights” album, but his solo on “Spiral” knocked me out. Not too long after, Steely Dan’s “The Royal Scam” came out. I was at work when “Kid Charlemagne” came on the radio. I stopped in my tracks and didn’t move until the song ended. I’ve been a diehard fan ever since.

Agreed. i've not had the fortune to have met Mr. Carlton, but as off season director of PR & Marketing and at event time, Main Backstage mgr for a large Midwest city's Festival commission, i met HUGE heroes of mine, globally famous people, and it was only the rarest of occasions that someone you respected a lot acted a fool. However, when people that worked for me at the event would get stars in their eyes, i'd move them out of the Artists area tout suite....nothing can try the patience of anyone quite like someone relentlessly fan-boying out. Not a good look and everyone becomes instantly uncomfortable. It is also how phrases like "never meet your heroes" likely get started, cuz its just creepy for them...or as Neil Peart put it; "I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend."

Recently, he made time to sign my blond 335 at Jazz Alley in Seattle for my 60th birthday and was open and conversational - after playing for 1:20. He is certainly one of the most gifted guitarists in popular music, but more than that, he is a wonderful person. So thankful for his influence in music and in life.

This is so great. I first heard Larry when my parents bought home Joni Mitchell's Hissing Of Summers Lawns in '75(?)...and it just blew my young guitarist mind. The intro to Edith And The Kingpin still makes my spine tingle 40 or so years later. So inventive, so cool and so humble. Thanks Rick.

Wow, after Ray Parker, Gambale, now Larry Carlton! Damn Beato your killing it! And LC watched your vid of Kid Charlemagne and corrected just that pinky extension to that one note says volumes of the accuracy of your breakdowns... One of the best RU-vid music content channels out there! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 bravissimo ~

Have a listen to "Point It Up" off the "Larry Carlton" album and "Mulberry Street" off the "Strikes Twice" album and you'll love him a lot more,he's great!!!!

+1 for Joni Mitchell's Hejira, one of my all-time favorite albums

@da5idnz 5 лет назад

Same! People always go on about _Blue_ but it's _Hejira_ for me. The poetry is amazing. The music might take a big longer to get into, but it's worth it.

@johnbrattan9341 5 лет назад

Joni always played in alternate tuning. Mostly devised of her own making. For another guitarist to step in and play along and so eloquently has always been an amazement to me....this from a guitarist as well.

@KL3NCH 5 лет назад

@@johnbrattan9341 The chosen tuning is a not dependent upon the key that the song is played in, but often it lends itself to a song or produces inspiration absent in standard tuning. As an example- how does a mandolin player join in the fun? or a banjo player? Actual key changes are more impressive to me. I'm a fifty years of playing guy and these days spend as much time in Cadd9 / Csus2 (amongst a handful of others) but I'm a very long way from being well versed in musical theory so other folks' points of view probably carry more weight.

@johnbrattan9341 5 лет назад

@@KL3NCH Well, yes. Joni had something like 32 alternate tunings, to fit a particular song or her voice. You can of course take any song and play it in say standard tuning in a particular key, but it certainly won't match the original. I rarely see a guitarist do an original cover of Joni's. A few songs perhaps.

I love Larry Carlton his amazing contribution as a studio musician especially in the 70 ‘s is out of this world my favourite though is his playing on Third World Man from the Gaucho album 1980 he is the best so stylish great interview !

@SwedestThing 3 месяца назад

It wasn’t from Gaucho, it was from an earlier session (Larry says Royal Scam, Donald says Aja). It was added to Gaucho after the Second Arrangement debacle.

I have Loved Larry Carlton's playing since his days with the Crusader's. I drove up to Santa Barbara to see him with the Wilton, Wayne, Stix, and Joe Sample back in '76 or '77, so that was my first time seeing him live. Peak Life Experience!! I was just out of high school, but I'd been listening to him for a while already by then. So much of my life has been shaped by the work that he's done. I am Grateful.

@rkoblues24 5 лет назад

One of my favorite albums, and I still have the LP, is "Last Nite", LC live at the Baked Potato in the mid 80s. Saw him live in Seattle several times in those years in smaller venues, bars. Great video, do more of these, Rick, for us old folk.

@robertrohwer6965 4 года назад

Ok-this is such a great interview... it's one of those that is beyond any number of "likes" received. Really, this video should be enshrined somewhere for posterity. Larry is the icon guitarist of his era, and of course, just a wonderful and fascinating human being.

@jackmalvern5704 5 лет назад

Great interview, thanks. I was talking to some friends in their late 20's. I said I had to add another shelf for more space for CDs. The youngsters suggested I just download the music. I like to read the liner notes. If I had downloaded everything I would not know about artists like Larry Carlton

A truly down-to-earth interview, but what a wealth of information! Thank you to both Rick & Larry. That's the first time I've ever seen the man behind the epic solos on Kid Charlemagne, etc. I've heard so many Dan Heads talking rather aloofly & condescendingly about session musicians and detail after detail within the studio between Becker & Fagen, etc. But here is the real deal (Larry Carlton) right on my screen and I sense nothing but humility & wisdom. The best of the best & yet a perfect gentleman. A pleasure to watch & listen. Thank you.
