A perfect #wednESday with Mr. 335 Larry Carlton. Larry came in with his cousin Steve and our good friend Jim Hodson. Larry is currently living in Nashville, and he's in LA visiting friends and family. We honored to have Larry come into #NormansRareGuitars to talk a little bit about his career, play a little bit for us, and shoot the sh"t! Larry is playing a 1962 Gibson ES-335 with a stop tail piece and PAFs, what do you guys think?

To think that we almost lost Larry in 1988 to a crazed gunman outside of his home studio, "Room 335". Thank God he survived and is still playing beautifully over 30 years after that awful day. Larry, we still love you; thanks for sharing your great talent and soul. The world is a much better place with you in it!

I’m from Lomita California originally like Larry, I never knew that until now. I remember the day he got shot as I was living down the road from him at the time.

Yeh, what was that all about? Some asshole shoots him in the throat! His Left arm paralyzed for a while. He was working on an album at the time...

I've been a fan of Larry's for years but I had no idea he'd been shot, what on earth was that all about ?

@jamestravenetti7970 Жыл бұрын

I heard he was shot point blank with a 357 magnum. it might have had 38s in it but he's very lucky to survive. I loved his strikes twice album back in the 70s.

I too have noticed, Rick Beato did an interview with Mr. Carlton, you can watch it for yourself. We all get old (myself included), hands don't work the same way they did decades ago. It's been said "Getting old is painful and expensive, but still better than the alternative". I can't say enough good things about Mr. Carlton that haven't already been spoken/written, he truly is a gift to us all. Myself, I consider Larry Carlton the Guitar Players Guitarist. May we be Blessed with his music and inspiration for many, many years to come.
