Larry 'STORMBRINGER' Coryell, easy.

Never heard any albums by either of 'em (so what the hell gives me the right to voice my opinion?); but I gotta take Carlton's Royal Scam solos over Coryell's showpiece on the Jazz Composers Orchestra album. But that's only because of my usual preference for concise guitar solos within the context of SONGS as opposed to extended jamming-type stuff. And the liberal dose of feedback within that JCOA track is pretty daring for jazz in 1968.

I like Coryell a lot and I don't think I've ever heard Carlton.

Coryell S: Spaces w/McLaughlin and Billy Cobham, and this one high-powered organ trio thing I have from the 90s

Coryell D: some interview I read where he was whining that he should have been Jimi Hendrix by rights

i kinda prefer coryell for a really strained reason = when i wz abt 17 i read a sneery (rock-crit) review of him comparing him to HENDRIX and i wz then v.punky and didn't approve of hnedrix so (by uh logic) decided i wz pro coryell

i never heard anything by him till abt four years ago and i quite liked it! (it wz sort of steely danish)

so hurrah!

i accept this argt will not stand up in the courts of time

No? He plays on five Joni Mitchell albums (starting with Court and Spark) and four Steely Dan albums (starting with Katy Lied). I've never heard a solo recording, though.

Larry Coryell is pretty cool on Steve Marcus's Tomorrow Never Knows.

the carlton solo stuff i have heard is like, you know, sanborn solo stuff i have heard. but, like i said, almost ALL of coryell's 60's and early 70's stuff is worth hearing.

(this really must have been sampled for a heap of rap beats, right?)

funny this thread exists. I feel bad admitting that I've seen Larry Coryell's name pop up in guitar magazines and elsewhere over the years, but I don't think I've ever listened to him. More often than not, I have indeed confused him with Larry "Fat Time" Carlton.

and of course, now I'm confusing Larry Carlton with Mike Stern.. duh...
