Even though I don't think his technique has anything to do with the topic at hand, I agree with you that Larry Carlton makes him look bad. But who doesn't Larry Carlton make look bad? I've watched a couple of videos now of him playing with his friend (and LA session musician legend) Tim Pierce. If PRS were you or me - well, anyway, if he were me there'd be no reason to combine us on the same stage for money. But PRS gets to do it, answer chops questions - and call it a workshop - because his company makes great guitars. And he's a great marketer who periodically gets to talk about aspects of his company's technology on stage that clearly his minions must know and understand - because he doesn't. And yet when he stops talking, people just nod seriously anyway. It's a good life for him.
