The Future That Never Was - my homage to Larry Carlton

    In the 1980s, I found the music of Larry Carlton. Since then he's been a constant source of inspiration, both as a guitarist and a composer.
    So it's no surprise that sometimes (or often) I get accused of trying to sound like him. While I'm not anywhere Master Carlton, I nevertheless get happy when people hear the influence.
    In this track I'm playing a Collings I-35LC through a Kemper amplifier using a profile I made myself.
    Like Mr C I also used the volume pedal a lot to shape the tone in real time.
    I really enjoyed recording this!

    I hope you'll enjoy it!

    Wow Mats. Absolutely classy. From another planet. You really nailed the tone and the vibe. And what I really love is this incredible patience and calmness which is needed to reduce the amount of notes played. Very well done Mats, thanks for sharing! :thumbup:8)

    Hey Mats,

    I´m a Carlton fan too and your song is a great example of his music and sound!

    Very well done Mats!

    Hi Deadman,


    Thank you for your nice comment.

    What you hear is not really patience but rather a non-ability to play fast. ;)

    Beautiful, Mats! :love:


    The volume swells are sublime and your dynamics in the transition out of the lead break, for example, really help transport the listener into the clouds.


    Well done, mate. 8):thumbup:

    My good Monkey Man!


    I was hoping this would meet your approval. Thank you for your constant encouragement! It's very valuable.
