Kid Charlemagne (solo #1)

[shredamir]

very smoothly played

[jazz4randall]

Great vibrato ... most players do a very jerky vibrato.... yours is very slow and fluid. Nice

[GregDalbey]

nice!

[ando6111]

GREAT!!!!!

[footstomper1]

great stuff mate.....THE BEST SOLO EVER WRITTEN. i`ve gotta learn this.. or at least put it on the BUCKET LIST ;)

[VaiJedi]

Awesome

[mate6mty]

gibson melody maker????

[Ben1238]

Badasss!

[mminer58]

Very , very nice!

[TigerEye682]

wow your technique is crazy good

it's even entertaining to just watch your hand move around the fretboard like that :P

[coine3]

Great job. That Jr. is cool as all hell, too.

[zzlong55]

Missed the finger tap at the end, but other than that it was brilliant! Thank you, sir!

[supraned]

clean! my old guitar teacher loved this solo, so i was waiting for the tap too!! it never came ! haha, kudos tho

[gukhaloon]

Seamless....fantastic guitar playing!

[amigdaloid]

The Vindicator has serious Dan chops.

IMHO your 'Bad Sneakers" is the tops.

Keep it up man!

[petehoban1]

great playing!

I always wanted to learn this solo and with the aid of this video-

Hey Presto!

[911heroesandme]

i am not a big fan of most guitar solos, but this has always been one of my most favorite ones. you did a fantastic job!!

[JamesKinkaidMaya]

I quit!

[OrisLover]

Jeez, It's like I'm being transported back in time and watching Larry Carlton in the studio! Dude, I love it! MORE, MORE!

[harriganes]

Can you play this one in half speed?

[marcelodonati]

Just a detail: in the end of the solo, Larry Carlton bends the note and them makes a hamer on with the right hand in the end of the scale (I just dont remember which fret is, sorry). but the rest is perfect!!!!

[did13frico]

Bravo, c'est un de mes solos favoris et tu l'exécutes parfaitement bien... so, very good job ! Merci !

[Culpano]

I wouldn't be able to do that solo in 1000 years (sigh).

[jameskeithlacroix]

WOW!!! ...copped one of the greatest recorded guitar solos!

[seandamondotcom]

Another good one! Definitely the best version I have seen yet!

Keep up the GREAT playing

[herbie747]

This versions has the bend at the end: /watch?v=ShQCm4g607k

[1dillontaylor]

Thats good. I do both solos on my version. My tone isn't as good though. Thanks pal.

[whoopadoopa]

Wow cool (even if you didnt feel like doing the hammer on part hahahahah)

[franciscotarrega]

impressive shit my friend.

[petecassani]

Just wanted to say WOW! And Thank You!! I learned this amazing solo by watching you figure it out. Saved me alot of work. You truly are a Steely Dan fan and it shows! Thanks again!!

[radcam69]

What? No hammer on?

[vindicator14]

Ha! nope, no hammer-ons...sorry guys.

I am somewhat lazy when it comes to playing

[radcam69]

Anyway, great job.

[ledboots2009]

@vindicator14 Stellar work. Carlton's playing shined on this cut. But when did Dan ever have a weak player?. Skunk, Dias, Derringer, Becker, Parks, Graydon. And whoever else I left out.

[deepfriedpankakes]

It was so good for the first few seconds i thought it was a joke, as in you were just "fingering" the note lol

[tripleheshy]

Best rendition I've seen yet. Sick as hell!!!

[Culpano]

Great playing

[andy42x]

damn man.. you make it look easy.

[funktion404]

thats freakin fantastic, you are dead on

[landononthemoon]

this is great to learn from do more please

[jessonne]

you're good ,can you do Mulberry Street!

[gnukev]

Really good!

[sideshowlol]

That last comment of mine was to bobthwart but good ol' Youtube hasn't listed it as a reply to his comment.

[maxwellph]

Youre sick man! Absolutely nailed it. I hope you are playing with somebody. You should be a session player.

[bobthwart]

Why is this solo so celebrated? When I here the solo from Peg I here real genius. I love Larry, but this solo is as stale as it gets.

[sideshowlol]

Are you serious? The day you come up with something as awesome as this you will be celebrated too.

Great version of this solo vindicator14. Very slick.

[bill3979]

You are obsolete. Look at all the white men on the street. Not you man. You are amazing.

[birddoggarton]

Damn Dude. Nailed that one too !

[Gulfstream7]

Nicely done.

[radcam69]

missed the hammer on @:55, but still nice.

[ZenDriveSeven]

I've watched this so many times I've lost count. By far the best on youtube!!!..and belive me, I've seen them all!

[goldtogreysmoke]

that is such a legitimate piece of guitar. the rhythm guitar is also freakin genius. has anyone tabbed it? maybe with some of carlton's signature touches?

[redflags123]

Wow! Most excellent guitar work. You got it down pat. Now start inventing your own riffs. For that you may need some collaborators. I hope you find some as good as you or better.

[charlesdbruce]

Superb/Excellent job! You're spot on with the articulation and vibrato. So many Steely Dan guitar solos are masterpieces all by themselves. The only comment I'd make is that the last high note in the solo (I believe) is a fretboard tap.

[transparentblack]

ive seen a few of the kid charlemagne solos on youtube... and i must say... this one is so far the best.

uve got the perfect tone settings for this solo

congrats

[tomguitarr]

i must say, you've got very good articulation, good sound too!

[ZenDriveSeven]

Outstanding! That's how to work a P-90!

[BuncaHuey]

I tried watching this video but I had to turn away because my eyes started to burn and melt away. But I do like the shorts as well.

[ryanveneberg]

Nice tone and smooth transitions. I like your shorts, too.
