Can you imagine if 1967 Clapton, Green, Beck.... or 1974 Trower, 1983 Gibbons or SRV, would've set in front of a camera and showed us all how to play their licks the right way? Boggles the mind. Uncle Larry teaches us guitar the way my dad taught me electricity and plumbing, a scant few words and a lot of action. Pay attention while you're holding the flashlight, class.
Forgive me, Unc, for waxing philosophical and spiritually here, but… my belief is that we are each created by God for the specific time and generation we exist in and I give thanks daily for being placed here now. At 67 years old, I have been blessed to experience some of the most incredible music ever to be made and I love hearing your references to them as well as experiencing your stellar musicianship. I have been given the gift of playing guitar, pedal steel and a bit of saxophone in numerous (some really good) cover bands in my 54 years playing music and have an endless well of awesome songs to cover. Thank you for sharing you… your aforementioned musicianship, your knowledge, your musical and daily dad experiences. It feels like we are friends and I’m glad you’re here. 😊
I see many bar band musicians who can't keep their ego in check. like B. Mason in the 90's, you define Nashville guitar for the better portion of the last twenty years. You are amazingly humble considering. If you didn't have some ego you couldn't compete. You are surrounded by some of the best guitarist on earth. We are just grateful you share this stuff with us.
Hi Tom! I'm 63 , and I've been really into every aspect of music since the age of probably 3 or 4. You are my number 1 inspiration, and number 2 isn't close. I'm semi retired and on a very low fixed income, otherwise I would be venmo'ing you heavily. Thinking about leaving my assets to you in my will... In the meantime, I just wanted to say thank you!!!
@501chorusecho Just a quick shout out to you and Bryan on Morgan Wallens newish song lies,lies,lies. The guitar work brings chills to my soul. Great job!
So many diamonds in this video Tom. More than i will bore you with. First, now that is a diamond worth keeping, "if you are betraying someone you are really betraying yourself more than anything...". And the song "American Tune” was on repeat when it came out back in my teen years...a masterpiece. And Yes's interpretation of it is equally brilliant. And lastly, watching you playing in this video, first, you really are a rock-n-roll bluegrass player with your mastery of alternate picking. And your brain and your fingers are clearly directly connected, not hitting the speed-bumps of "thinking". The combination of 100,000 hours of work and an obvious musical mind is simply amazing, and though i know i can't achieve those heights, for some reason, you continue to inspire me to keep after it. Thanks.
Tom, I left you that little 60’s football book with Jim Brown on it. I’m so glad you got it, knew Corey would make sure you did. Made my day man. Thanks for sharing all that you do.
This has all the hallmarks of a great Uncle Larry upload and is why we all(most of us anyway) love you and what you are doing for popular guitar culture: taste, tone, outstanding musicality, cool ass instruments, honesty, straightforwardness and little nuggets of wisdom and fucking hilarious spot on observations about people and living in this modern world. Plus what a cool dad. I truly look forward to your musings and completely fuck-off playing. I’m certainly not alone. Stay inspired and inspiring.
@@kevinafflackGo cart yearning. I built one from scrounged parts and begged labor when I was 12. Drove it maybe twice and we moved to Omaha and I had to leave it in my wee home town.
Jukebox Larry intermixed with endless ideas. Inspiring. Deep well you are. Thanks for doing it. When I heard the 'Graceland' album way back in 1986 as a young lad, I was inspired to buy S&G live from Central Park album. I'd never heard 'America' prior and I was blown away. Such a great tune.
I could listen to you jam for hours. Thanks for the jams. I’ve started playing at 47 this year. I practice at least an hour a day, 5-7 days a week. Never too late to start folks. Just do it already
Gotta say, man, "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" was an absolutely EPIC film. That shit blew my mind. I thought Cocker was an absolute spazz at first, but the man sings from the toenails up. There's not a bit of him that isn't in the moment of a performance. Astounding. That rendition of With A Little Help is just pure magic.
love you tom. you've yet to say anything i don't agree with. thanks for all you do!.... and of course all your playing.... this youtube hobby of yours has become such a gift to the world, and built an awesome community. you da bes
At age 4, I watched Joe Cocker and band play 'Help From My Friends' on PBS. At age 50, I feel like I remember everything about that moment with my parents sitting there, and asking them what I was seeing and hearing. I loved Waylon and Johnny Cash, Oakridge Boys, Alabama...and here was this explosion of sound. That cover carved the path to rock music for me.
The great intro playing sounds to me like an "undercover" episode of the "i've always pictured wearing pants" series. I generally don't watch tv series, i definitely listen to Uncle Larry's "guitar (world) series" with a daily growing pleasure. Thanks a lot.
Just wanted to say thank you for making music fun to play again! I haven't even wanted to listen to music until a few months ago. Really appreciate you doing these videos!
All your videos are amazing Tom. Such brilliant playing. I just rewatched episode 125 ‘Cabin Fever Jazz’ and it blows my mind - and that’s just a drop in the ocean. Homeskoolin’ is the best, I hope we never graduate.
Thanks for sharing, Uncle Larry! Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" certainly ranks as one of my favorite covers ever. Even Dylan agrees.
Another beautiful opener. Have been grooving on that for the last few days. I’m playing it differently, but my family heard me and said “oh you’re playing something nice”. Touched by an uncle!
Look forward to these videos every day. Love talking about guitars and music as well as life. Please don't change anything. The lighting, etc, is fine, it's the content that counts and it's what I look forward to. Peace
It’s awesome to see your love of music, I’m raising my 14 year old daughter on 60s-70s music. She’s got a great ear and is playing. Your love of music definitely shines out in your playing. Thanks for everything. I’m a fellow quality gear guy and restorer, and have been doing studio work locally for about 20 years. All of your content is great, humble, and outstanding. I’ve picked more up from you from playing to sessioneering than anywhere else on here by far. Authenticity is lacking out there for sure and you exude it man!
Approx 24 mins of Les Paul Tweed Deluxe fire and 4 mins of rock n roll wisdom. My vote for one of the best HS episodes!! Ps. “America”puts us in that place, I don’t know the name of that place though, but it’s a place.
Can’t play as well as you Uncle Larry but this 77 year old picker really enjoys your videos… just picked up a Gretch 6122-GE 62 … a deal I couldn’t pass on and it’s been my dream guitar since I had my very first band and we all watched The Beatles together on the Ed Sullivan show back in 1963 or 64, can’t remember 😅, and I saw George Harrison playing one… thanks for your inspiration! 😎🎸🎶
Tom in Beast Mode today, the mind is blown with your playing. The class has now Soooo much home work to catch up on!!! Keep it coming, you are the Best Tom....
This is like all the good aspects of classic rock, great opening track Tom. I Love You, Overkill, and Feeling that Way all mashed in to one thing, and interpreted in your own vibe. Just an incredible well of music- you never seem to run dry. Must have been a good session- you're on fire the whole clip. Thanks man.
@@kevichiking3563 literally impossible not to get immediately excited knowing you are going to hear great guitar and a cool story or something to learn
Bony Moronie / Johnny Winter Captured Live…. this one grabbed me at an early age and really got me interested in Guitar.. the whole album is just fantastic with a great lineup! He’s still one of my all-time favorites, and very first guitar hero.
You are the first person I ever heard mention the sensational Alex Harvey band . Just today I played Delilah for a co worker from the Philippines that was singing that song but he only new the Tom Jones version , he loved it , good stuff indeed 👍
So cool to see other fans sharing thanks to Tom, I think Hammer Song is probably my all time favorite for the way it comes on slow and just explodes into that massive awesome solo in the middle.
Dear Tom so much beautiful music comes out of your heart it’s so moving. You seems to have deep inside a profound melancholy I can surely relate thanks for these precious moments 🙏
We appreciate you Uncle Larry. 🙏🏻 Sidenote... We need some more stories from the younger years 😅 Thanks for this great community you've built. Favorite covers.. All Along the Watchtower, Rock and Roll Music (Beatles), I'm a Man (Chicago).
Favorite cover, easy. Linda’s version of “You’re No Good “ by Clint Ballard , originally performed by Dee Dee Warwick. The Andrew Gold arrangement with the George Harrison style guitar break gets me every time .
Jimi Hendrix Like A Rolling Stone Live, such a great vibe with his audience engagement while playing and a ton of feeling in his delivery. Best Ever! "Right now I'd like to do a little thing by Bob Dylan, and that's his Grandma over there, haha"
I was recently listening to a “Bukovac’s Picks” playlist on Spotify- pretty eclectic, going from Yes to ZZTop, but I noticed a common thread- beautifully stacked guitar parts. I think that shows in your playing. I hadn’t listened to Tejas in years, and was really impressed by the guitar parts.
Favorite cover ? She said She said -Government Mule . America literally brought tears to my eyes, The first light made that SG ( Les Paul ) POP ! what a beautiful guitar - Thanks Tom
an obscure cover I've been digging lately is Hurray For The Riff Raff's version of Jealous Guy. Paul Simon's chord selections are unworldly on that whole album Bookends. Pure art. Thanks Uncle Larry for all of the good feelings.
Hey Tom. Joes version of With a little help from my friends is such a cool version that totally is his own. One of my favourite cover songs is All Along the watchtower with Hendrix which is one of the reasons why I started playing guitar. 🎸👍
Saw Yes do America as their encore in 1971. They were on tour after releasing Fragile. They were opening for Jethro Tull who were touring Aqualung. Now that was a great show! Steve Howe and Martin Lancelot Barre in the same night. Guitar heaven.
One of my favorite covers is Pat Metheny playing on a Hendrix tribute album , Third Stone from the Sun. Weirdly, last night at rehearsal, Yes’s version of America came up. I remember being blown away by away by their version. When the Simon & Garfunkel version is used in Almost Famous, it’s brings up feeling of nostalgia, hopefulness and meloncoly. Great stuff Tom and I don’t give a shit about the lighting, it the content that matters.
Nice "skanking" rhythm Uncle Larry and damn "Bodhisattva" that brings back memories I learned both parts too 🎶 The new classroom is amazing Brother we don't need fancy lights and HD just heaping helpings of good 'ol Uncle Larry 🤟
Been listening to "Miracles & Wonders" , Conversations With Paul Simon with a deep dive on the tune "America" and then...I hear your take on it! Well done as usual!
Hey Uncle Larry, another brilliant post! Was wondering if you were ever a fan of the Adrian Belew - era King Crimson? The new lineup and tour with Steve Vai and Danny Carey sounds killer, looking forward to seeing them soon. Peace, brother.

America might be my favorite S&G song. Perfect. Thanks for taking a second to play. Love your channel so much, man. 🤘🏻
"All Along The Watchtower" by Hendrix has got to be one of the best cover songs ever . . .
All along the watchtower was actually written by Bob Dylan but I agree it makes a great cover song.
Agree but, check out a version by Barbara Keith...almost as good.
All your videos are amazing Tom. Such brilliant playing. I just rewatched episode 125 ‘Cabin Fever Jazz’ and it blows my mind - and that’s just a drop in the ocean. Homeskoolin’ is the best, I hope we never graduate.

Thanks for you bro. Love
You are totally right about America. Thanks for reminding me. They had so many great songs. Quite amazing. 😊
The musical layers of truth and love in that opening jam is splendiferous!
Thanks, I really dig it when you rip into a bunch of old classic rock stuff. Very fun / cool to watch.
This is 6 minutes of the best melodic improvisation I've ever heard or seen (except for maybe a dozen other Uncle Larry episodes).
Approx 24 mins of Les Paul Tweed Deluxe fire and 4 mins of rock n roll wisdom. My vote for one of the best HS episodes!!
Ps. “America”puts us in that place, I don’t know the name of that place though, but it’s a place.
I only wished my life was spent playing my guitar you’re truly lucky brother and you’re amazing at your craft

America, yes what a track, that Leslie guitar, that organ! A mini novel in a song, one of my favs from long ago
Favorite cover ? She said She said -Government Mule . America literally brought tears to my eyes, The first light made that SG ( Les Paul ) POP ! what a beautiful guitar - Thanks Tom
This is just wonderful 😊😍!!!
I love the longer videos because Uncle Larry got a better internet connection at Casa de Soul.
Thanks for all the good vibes!
an obscure cover I've been digging lately is Hurray For The Riff Raff's version of Jealous Guy.
Paul Simon's chord selections are unworldly on that whole album Bookends. Pure art.
Thanks Uncle Larry for all of the good feelings.
America by Yes is my favorite cover ever. 8 fret stretch!! Pretty incredible Tom.
Their first great prog masterpiece
Nice to hear you play a bit of reggae…and of course you smashed it…and whatever anyone says Bob Marley and the Wailers were a rock n roll band !
The faster internet making for longer videos has been a nice side effect from the move. Thanks, Tom!
Hi Tom, thanks for reminding me of that beautiful song and the lesson of course. No rhymes in that song either.

The Allman Brothers with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks covering "Into The Mystic". Derek Trucks can just about make me cry at the ending/outro solo.
I’ll have to check that out. My band covers that song. One of my favorites to sing and play!
That part of South Side Of The Sky where the piano break comes in and that vocal harmony happens is like a Cadbury Creme Egg on Easter
Just reminded me of ‘Many too Many’ off ‘…and then there were Three’. What a song. The guitar octave/harmony bends. That vocal. Holy shit.
