      In the 40s 50s hard swing and hard bop jazz bands were all the rage. Meanwhile, rock was entering it's hey day. We have fallen from great heights, but maybe part of finding the new thing, or we're just roast from here?

    "I bet the lines to the men’s room at their shows are really long" - I've always thought something similar about a lot of the virtuoso-type guys - it always just feels like 99.999% of their audience are guitar players, and 'music' is often secondary to guitar playing, in it's most technical sense.
    This is why I admire Uncle Larry and his playing so much; we all know that you have absolutely monster chops, but EVERYTHING that you do is musical and serves the song you’re playing on, which is the biggest compliment you can give someone’s playing in my opinion.

    You know, it's just cool to be able to log in and hear amazingly in tune playing, perfect bends, and flowing, emotional, smack-on time-keeping. It is rare to find it at your level, and to get to hear it multiple times a week is priceless and helps to establish in our ears the North Star we are all aiming at.

    Hey Tom. Just had surgery on my shattered left wrist this morning (plate + screws to stabilize and straighten). Before the op, I asked the doc how it would affect my guitar playing afterwards. "Depends how good it was before," he says. Wise man. Made me think of you overcoming your hand injury. For all the great skills and riffs you teach us, one of the greatest things you give us is HOPE. Thank you, man.

When grunge came in We hated it and went back to 70s progressive stuff and old Rock. It`s been a long Journey, I have learned so much from you, This has been amazing for me and my playing, thank you for doing this.

    There is nothing better than watching you create in the moment!
    The ability to translate your exact thoughts and emotions instantly is phenomenal. I would imagine it's both a gift and a curse.
    It must be maddening when you have a musical thought every 5 seconds and can't get the chance to release it. I know you're around a guitar 90% of the day but ....what about
    Showering?
    Bringing your little ones to school?
