  • Years ago, I had a Pod and through Line 6's website, tried to learn this solo. I never hit it. Not one time. Out of about 300 tries.

  • Like at 1:02, YOU'D never get it in real time, there's a litle hammer off/on twirl going on.. So for the haters - go somewhere else. As a musician, you learn riffs, etc, in slo-mo, then speed it up -when you are able..That is how its done.

  • So - did Larry Carlton ac tually do this? or is this someone slo - moing the vid and playing at the same time? I like it either way, i could watch for hours.

  • @mchar69 No, I found a Calton concert video on YouTube and figured how to slow it down. It offered a lot of hints on exactly how he played the solo. It's one thing to get the notes but the fingering is just as important. Thx for comment!

  • Thanks for the slo mo vid really helps to study. Wish I could do that with a lot of vids.

  • @rigidarm1 A slightly older version of Quicktime Pro could slow down videos, I'm sure there are others. . .

  • theres alot going on there prebends thnx for video

  • this is sort of cool

  • Love...this....feel like I"m in Berkley, 1968 on LSD....!

  • i kinda like it actually. i mean the quality sucks, but its catchy haha. in a sloooow kinda way :D

  • Why the f..k would someone want to play a nice guitar solo in slow motion?

    You have just killed it dude!

  • @dogofman  Didn't mean to offend, dude. Hadn't played it in a while and it actually came in handy to brush up. . .

  • @dogofman - so that you can see how he plays the solo of course!!!

  • @dogofman Well, maybe to learn play it? Get a grip!

  • @dogofman It's for learning purposes dumb ass

  • thanx mate now maybe i can figure out the solo the proper way good find!!

  • Good luck with it, it's a fun one. . .

  • thanx looks like its in C minor  its def a classic lead Steely Dan has a few others i love & theres a guy w/ an Sg Gibson that does them prettty close to the record, his name is something solos?

  • Let me know who that is if you remember. Be sure to check out nairnloon above, he nails it pretty well. If you haven't already be sure to listen to Carlton's Room 335, amazing lead on that. . .

  • For the record, th is solo still sounds great even slowed down.

  • Thanks, kinda haunting, I think. Great melody. . .

  • Good point.

  • Larry plays in a different mode, which is what makes him so special. LOOK into him, he's the best guitarist in the history of music. For music students, don't try learning it. Only Larry can play it as it is written. Someone can come close, but can never equal it. Also, this is just ONE of many, many solos that Larry performed.

  • I came up listening to a lot of Steely Dan when Larry played on their tracks and he always frustrated me when I tried to figure out how he played his licks. What I admire about Carlton is that he has such a joyfull sense of melody that few other guitar players match.

    For what it's worth, the fingering on this is dead wrong in a couple of spots. I never could get the thing up to speed because I had it wrong. I finally have it down and will try to put up a new and improved version in a few weeks.

  • never say never, theres a piano student named Emily Baer, & she's doing Motzart

    and she's only been a student of the piano for 3 years & the best part is she's now 6 yrs old, so she started at 3 & is also composing her own pieces & you wouldn't believe your ears so use your eyes & watch & listen to her here on the tube, .. She's already performed at the white house & was on tv numerous times

    Ellen Deg show & others..

  • One reason Larry sounds so unique is that he listened to pedal steel players deliberately,, if you really watch his fingers and take note, you see that he is almost constantly sliding to a target note, either up or down the neck, and the pre-bending that he does is a pedal steel technique, only it's done with the knee pedals to sharpen or flatten the notes on that instrument. I've been fortunate to meet him at least 6 times and ask questions, which he always politely answered. He's the BEST!!!

  • This lead break has always haunted me cause it's in a different mode than I'm familiar with, know which it is?

  • this guy is really good. i should look more into him

    5/5
