Larry Carlton wrote “High Steppin’” at the keyboard, so the guitar takes a supporting role through much of the arrangement.
Then the solo arrives.
That is where Larry gets room to stretch out and bring his unmistakable phrasing to the acoustic guitar.
“High Steppin’” originally appeared on Alone/But Never Alone, Larry’s first all-acoustic guitar album.
In this clip from the TrueFire vault, Larry shares a little of the story before playing the solo from the track.
