Purple

ethell

I have always loved Larry Carlton's playing and his sounds are sometimes out of this world. So in an attempt to write a tune where I could try to play in his style using a clean tone, I wrote this.

It Was You

I seldom do covers but when I heard Chuck D'Aloia's cover of Alfie, I knew I wanted to do a cover of his cover.
So this is what I came up with.

Covers

Alfie

pondering an a minor latin blues goes straight to Carlos. Santana's sound, his tube break up, his Dumble amps, his PRS Santana 2 guitars, he made some really really great music. Still is! so get this- Put on your best cans and listen for a Rock Viola, a Rock Trombone and a Rock Accordion!

you say that you love me

I have always had a soft spot for smooth jazz with a latin twist.
This comes from may assorted influences, one of the first of them being Lee Ritenour.
I tried to get the combined feel of Los Angeles and South America and I had a lot of fun doing so.

Because Of A Photograph

I have loved Larry Carlton since I first heard him play back in the early 80s. I especially love the sounds he's getting so when I got the Tone Master Pro I've been working on a preset that allows me to play with dynamics both from touch as well as from working a volume pedal. 
I know the Mr Carlton uses a Dumble ODS style amp since many years and I also know that at this time there's no Dumble model in the Tone Master Pro. But there was a time before Mr Carlton started using the Dumble and IIRC he was using a Mesa/Boogie with an EV speaker or a Fender Princeton.
So for this preset I used the Boogie amp for a warm and clean rhythm sound and then I set up other pedal models to create the overdrive so I would get a dynamic mid focused and smooth overdrive. An overdrive so smooth that it's almost clean in how I perceive it. I know it doesn't have that initial "chirp" in the attack but feel wise I think this is very close to most of the ODS-style amps I've played over the years. Above all it's a very enjoyable preset to play. At least to me.
When I was done making the preset I wanted a tune so I could tweak it in a musical context and thus I wrote this tune. All guitars in this tune used one and the same preset for both the OD lead and the clean rhythm.

Morning Train To Arizona

I've always admired Larry Carlton and according to others that has influenced both my composing and my playing.
This track was an effort to write a tune where I decided to focus a lot on chord tones both for the melody and the solo.

Living With A Memory

My musical roots are quite firmly planted in the music coming from the Los Angeles studios in the 80s and 90s. 
Some call it smooth jazz and I really don't disagree.

Worthwhile

PREMIERE: David Salow - Moving Too Fast (Original Mix) [Dumble Records]

A bit of soul with organ and guitar as main ingredients. I'm going for a Dumble ODS vibe with the guitar.

Don't You Think

My goal with this track was to create a tune that would reflect my influences from the 80s. Larry Carlton for guitar and Michael McDonald for the arrangement.
Many people would probably call this Smooth Jazz but, personally, I'd call it Smooth Pop as the jazz influence is fairly minimal.

None The Wiser

Dumble experience on NAM

Today on Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV — we dive into a killer new interview with Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge, Creed) where he talks about PRS building a new Dumble-inspired amp that he says will leave fans “slack-jawed.”

Tremonti shares the moment Paul Reed Smith first handed him a Dumble, sparking his obsession with that legendary tone, and how it led to his PRS MT 100 signature head. He also reflects on his time at Eddie Van Halen’s legendary 5150 Studios — becoming the first band outside the Van Halen family to record there — and the stories, memorabilia, and inspiration he found inside those hallowed walls.
