Larry Carlton was also one of the first guitarists to render musical 'controlled errors' in the studio: small imperfections in timing or touch that he deliberately left in to give the recording more life and naturalness.

He is also renowned for his ability to play very few notes while maintaining a strong harmonic tension, an approach directly inherited from jazz but applied to pop and rock.

Finally, his influence is such that many modern session guitarists cite his work as a model of "invisible musicality": playing just enough to serve the song, but never too much to attract attention.
