He was only 73. The older I get the younger that sounds. (nt), posted on February 20, 2017 at 15:09:22

Wow!

I didn't see this mentioned on my Yahoo home page. I know...who uses that sight anymore?
Plus, it's not a dumb millenial entertainer with tattoos.

According to one article, died in his sleep, natural causes in his hotel room. Naturally, until an autopsy is performed, will the actual cause of death be determined.

My guitar teacher in the mid 70's would cue up a record between playing, and Larry was among others he suggested I listen to.

73 is young. A reminder that health is EVERYTHING.

I got to play on an Larry Coryell model Gibson Super 400, once. What an awesome guitar.

RIP to a true master.

I just heard about Larry. I was thinking about that same album the other day, wishing I had a copy, but last I had checked it was only available in vinyl (I don't have that gear anymore). But it looks like Two For the Road was released on CD in 2015! So I just ordered a copy.

I always wished I were able to play "General Moto's Well-Laid Plan" from that album (the tune was actually a mispelling or typo, the Bary Burton's original was actually named "General Mojo's Well-Laid Plan").
