That was about fifteen years ago. It s one of those kinds of things, you get to play out your fantasies sometimes. One of my fantasies was to play with Larry Carlton, and here I am. He s such a great guy, such a gentleman, such an effortless musician. Everything he hears he can play.
Most guitar players think linearly, one note at a time.
Larry thinks in five-part harmony. Some of his shit is so deep, he does things that would be physically impossible for any other musician to play. And he s groovy just to hang with, too. We d sit before the show and have a special time, just me and him with a couple of guitars. We d start playing, and I was basically getting a lesson from Larry.
