Almost forgot. Larry Carlton is also known as Mr. 335. He loves those Gibsons! Me too.
Thanks, my mistake and to make it worse l own the album…on vinyl
Me too. I still have my beloved 1967 es-345
No problem, I have the same vinyl, in fact I have so many, I can’t remember half of them, But Carlton is one of my favorites. “Fire wire” is hot.
Same here brother
Never cared for the jazzy turn Aja was
I was listening to an album a few weeks back, Tom Scott’s cover of old Cannonball Aderly tunes. After hearing an amazing drum solo I looked to see who it was that could play like that. Yep, it was Steve Gadd. An amazing drummer.
1967? Sweet. I’m not strictly a Gibson fan, love those Fender Telecasters also, and Gretsch makes some beautiful looking and sounding ones. Friend of mine has an early Telecaster, in great shape and with his early Fender tube amp, sounds kick ass.
As a drummer wannabe, I can’t tell you how many albums I have with him on drums. Just amazing. I put him up there with Cobham, Narada Michael Walden, Bruford, Michael Schrieve, the best of the best.
McDonald is classified as a baritone. So you’re just talking shit.
Well now, I’m going to have to dust off and hook up my turntable, and listen to the vinyl with the amp volume on about 7.....make that 8. Oh, yeah.
When you need a strat you need a strat same with a tele. For Rockabilly it’s got to be a Gretsch. I had a patent pending tweed Fender Bandmaster amp which made it a mid 1950’s model. Hands the best sounding l have ever heard. I got sloppy and someone stole it. After 20 years l still grieve.
Damn shame. Nothing like those early tube amps. Well there was Dumble, who personally made each amp, died in 2022. R.I.P.
