Carl is probably the most underrated player on the planet! There are definitely those that have never heard of him, but those who have all agree he is an incredibly talented guitarist! :clapping:

"In his 40-plus years of playing the instrument, Carl has created a wildly successful, multi-faceted career. He is a critically-acclaimed musician with ten CD’s (http://carlverheyen.com/discography.htm) released worldwide and is commonly regarded as a guitar virtuoso capable of playing any style of music with remarkable mastery and conviction.

He has been one of LA’s elite “first call” session players for the past 25 years, playing on hundreds of records, movie soundtracks and television shows. Carl has graced the pages of countless industry publications and been the subject of numerous articles chronicling his rise to the forefront of the modern day guitar scene. Carl has won numerous polls and musical honors in the US, Germany, France, Italy and the UK."

"On the educational front, Carl has produced two instructional videos called Intervallic Rock Guitar and Forward Motion as well as various on-line lessons. He also has a book/CD detailing his unique “intervallic” style called Improvising Without Scales. Another book entitled Studio City is a compilation of all the columns Carl wrote for Guitar Magazine between 1996 and 1999."


This is one of my favorite videos where Carl gives a mini-lesson on rhythm guitar playing:
