Saw this guy back around 1997 in Las Vegas; back when "The Joint" at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino actually hosted great concerts. He was opening for Joe Satriani. He was AWESOME! I've been trying to locate his stuff for years until I finally realized I had his last name incorrect. This is great! If you see him, ask him about his taxi ride in Naples, Italy during the Tracy Chapman World Tour. Funny story.
Wow...I thought this was the same guy. I saw him posting on the axe fx forum...he has another vid on here playing nothing but an exe-fx....incredible.
oh, man... i have been trying to find this guy for years. i was mistakingly searching for him under the wrong name, Larry Johnson.... duh???
i have missed seeing Larry LIVE. it used to be great seeing him and Gordon Gaines play (individually). they were both my two favorite guitarists to see in NYC, back in the day.
I would submit that Mitchell has a different vibe he's working off of than Satriani and Vai. More mellowed out. Satriani and Vai comes at you hard. Satriani has that one song that's slowed down that blew up a few decades back, but it was still a shredder. I love 'em all though.
Only the raw footage of the show and the interview. I want to contact him first before I just put it out, just so I know he won't be pissed because it doesn't represent him the way he would like. I had that issue with someone else, and I like to respect that.
Larry Mitchell is a kick ass player! I have his first 2 CD's and his REH instructional video and he WAILS! He is also FUNKY, (sorry, but most "shredders" are NOT!) and plays great clean funk rhythm/lead , as well as some really cool bluesy soloing. Virtuosity with SOUL! A very tasteful player.
I love YouTube. Larry's a long time friend of mine. We used to be in a Van Halen cover band together, and then a Rush cover band. I wish him all the success in the world. He truly is one of greatest people you'll ever meet.
I met Larry Mitchell at a NAMM show and ran into him at plenty more. He is one of the top 10 most tasteful, talented players I've ever come across. I enjoy everything he's done and always look forward to his future projects. I just can't say enough positive things about him musically and personally. Keep it up Larry!!
I jammed with mr. Mitchell at a Dunkin' Donuts in Santa Fe at about 11:00 at night. He's a fantastic musician and a super nice guy. I highly recommend his stuff.
i saw him play and real life and when he plays it just seems so smooth and perfect

Hey, my video equipment was pretty ancient at the time to begin with, so I had to be clear on things like that!
