Thanks for posting these. I'm a huge fan of Robben Ford's playing.
I also like Larry Carlton alot too. You're right about Larrry Carlton saying that he doesn't use modes that much. I used to have great video of Larry Carlton years ago talking about his approach to soloing. He uses a lot of ideas based on a triad approach to soloing. At the time I didn't really understand his approach but it makes sense to me now. But like a lot of these techniques, it takes a while before you can work them into your playing so that you're using them a lot.
Thanks again for posting. I'll check them out. I'd love to learn some things.
