Excellent post, I went to one of his shows. He is awesome. He has a dvd out. I do not know the name, but there is extras that show him explaining his set up. He discusses is amps and how he incorporates fx.

GREAT player, GREAT guy. He has done a few solo shows in Seattle. The last one I went to, he hung out with the audience during intermission. I got to talk to him for about 10 minutes or so. After the show he again hung out with the audience. He remembered my name when I said goodbye, which surprised me. I am horrible with names.
Carl is awesome! Super cool guy too, in my LA days I studied with him a bit, great teacher! He even invited me to a film scoring session, I sat in the studio next to him watching him sight read a monster chart with all kinds of crazy key, meter, and even massive tempo changes. The only thing that gave him any trouble at all was a two bar sextuplet chromatic run, and once he got the fingering down he played it without any trouble at all. it would have taken me at least a week...
Great player, he has an instructional video that is worth buying. Lots of cool ideas and awesome lines. I have seen him play in person and he is a machine, no slop at all.
He gets some pretty awesome classic tones. You can tell he is really into strats and has a special level of control over them.
Awesome stuff. I just started to go through his Intervallic video last week. He is supposedly working on/wrapping up a 2nd (intervallic) video (I thought it would be out by now). Seems like a good guy. I would love t see him & Landau play together! I love his '65 Surf Green Strat, though the color has darkened over the years.
I *thought* he was talking about doing a followup to the intervallic one - IOW, it would all be about intervallic playing, but it would be more advanced. I see from the description that Fwd Motion has some intervallic stuff on it.
Hwo is that video, and how would you classify it? For beginners? More advanced than Intervallic?
I just ordered it off of Amazon last week, I'm sure it's awesome. There are only a few things I want to hear him talk about (that I haven't heard him talk about before), like altered dominant ideas, and maybe his approach to playing over more difficult changes.
