http://www.guitarBreakdown.com/ – Larry Carlton is by far one of the Greatest Guitar Players and Musicians of our time! Being one of Los Angeles’s top Session Guitarists ever … he has recorded on thousands of albums and that doesn’t even include his many outstanding solo albums.

Larry Carlton has recorded with such musical greats as Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell as well as being heard on Film and TV soundtracks … and has been nominated and won several Grammy Awards.

And if that wasn’t enough he is an Amazing Teacher and Educator of Music. Unlike many great musicians … Mr. Larry Carlton has such an amazing knowledge of the musical language and he is extremely gifted at sharing that knowledge.

I could go on forever with my praise for this man … he has affected so many of us … especially those of us striving to learn this crazy instrument we call Guitar. Larry has introduced so many of us to everything from advanced Harmonic possibilities to the mastering of great dynamic and tonal control. Many of us were first introduced to the amazing Gibson ES 335 and Dumble amps when we heard Larry’s beautifully sophisticated tone.

As for this Guitar Lesson … we are going to Breakdown my personal absolute favorite Blues Guitar Solo ever! This is a song from Larry Carlton’s Last Nite Album which is a live recording at the famous Baked Potato. If you do not own this CD … GO RIGHT NOW AND BUY IT! Seriously … this is my desert island CD … if I could have only one CD … it would be this one!

My whole musical direction change when I first heard this CD … I Learned so many new Harmonic possibilities … and this CD began my quest for such a dynamic and responsive tone (which I’m still in search of today … but it’s a fun search)! And I still to this day draw upon the ideas and concepts that I Learned from endlessly playing and replaying this cassette tape (yes, i’ve been learning from it for that long).

This Solo has so much to offer and Learn from … In this Lesson we will touch on some of the concepts and phrases in the first quarter of this solo. This is a two part Lesson … if you would like a complete Note for Note breakdown of this solo and a more in depth discussion about some of the concepts being used in this solo … please click the “Like” or “thumbs up” button on this video … “share” this video and also write a comment in the comment section letting us know you would like the Note for Note.
