Jess Lewis - (It Was) Only Yesterday (Larry Carlton cover)

This is a cover of the original by Larry Carlton

Sadly, as this track is a cover we cannot offer the transcriptions.

Jess uses preset patch 24 'Friedman HBE' of the Fractal Axe FX II, to recreate this classic Larry Carlton tone.

Where is everybody. This is truly a digrace that fell on the wrong doorstep. Jess, you are great, do what it takes to roll away the lack of positive responce. You deserve the best. I dont know about you but I recognize your greatness, and your playing simply reflects it. Just one of your 5, 000, 000. admirers.

If you are not moved by this version of Larry tune well you do not have a soul, it’s just amazing

Un-real!!!....Scary enough that a person this young can even just play the notes but the tone, feel and musicality of this musician is simply astounding!!....Man!!! there are a lot of folks on Youtube that have impressive chops. There are VERY few that anyone would want to just sit back and listen to. Most of em have the speed and chops but their stuff sounds like an auctioneer rather than music. Jess is a rare, rare gem!!!....Sweet voice too....wish she'd sing us more songs.

I have been playing guitar since I was 13. Now I am 68. I've learned a few things in that time but this delightful and monumentally talented young lady makes me feel like a beginner again. She soars above all the other "Hey look at me !..aren't I gorgeous!..Look how fast I play..Aren't I the best everrrr!?" hacks like an Andean condor. Simply the best Jess. Respek! :)

I'm a guitar player also, and I cannot stop listening to this very Musical and talented girl play. She has such beauty in her playing. Sometimes after gigs, My friends and Iwill sit around,   and watch and listen to her.  We are all facinated with what we are hearing. Thank you Jess and God bless. Fan for three years now.

This has been one of my favorite guitar instrumentals since the early 80's.

I'm most excited to see Jess Lewis clips above any other guitarist on JTC.  I love everything about her playing,  I know there are a million guitar gods out there, but she's seriously one of my favorites.

Cryin' guitar ... She nails it with beautiful tone of Carlton's original. Speechless ...

[claymor]

Remember doing a cover of this as part of a music course assessment in 1980 and have always loved the piece.  This is a great version.

[philsarkol]

I dont understand how she is able to play this melody with so much clarity and emotion at such a young age. Somethings are just magic and she certainly is. Truly a superbly gifted musician..and hope to hear more of her. Thx..

Sometimes a copy is just as respectful as a cover! We;; done Ms Lewis!

[DrummerDanVa]

Jess plays so expressively with such a pure guitar sound. I am not sure why she isn't doing original music and touring but hopefully that will come.

[robbrown]

Frankly don’t care what other say or if they like it or not. I love what you did Jess right here. End off. Calming my pulse now to take shivers of my skin. If a song performance had a soul, this one has a massive soul:)

Nice choice on the 335 to cover Larry "Mr. 335" Carlton. I really like your inflection on the notes! It's those nuances that make all the difference in music. Props!

You've really done it justice, great playing and what a sound.
Big thumbs up from me.

[abiegreyvenstein]

You, Jess, are my favourite guitarist on Youtube, and there are MANY!

[rickjohnson]

Geez she is so good..I have to been listening to Larry since the 70's and Jess does just a great job..Larry would love her if he hasn't heard her already...what an honor for him to have someone with her talent play his music...it also says a lot about him..totally beautiful any way you cut it..

[frantisca]

What a tone and phrasing: Lady knows her stuff !

[tovarisch]

Nothing beats that ES tone. My fave electric guitar (mine is a '68) and always will be. Excellent job.
