As if the guitar around here isn't good enough, we have some quality philosophy lurking in obscure corners. "Get more gear' is the meaning of life. ...And as long as you are qualified -- to the extent that you are qualified -- yes, you should talk about politics and religion. They have a large hand in running the world. It's helpful to know how they work. I am a self appointed expert in both areas. I'm thirty-plus years of deep in the weeds research. ..I got this... Ahem.. okay.... Tom and The Meaning of Life...All life is suffering is the first principle of Buddhism -- and the First Law of Thermodynamics -- a series of beginnings and endings. Coincidence? You're in a closed system, Pal. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep collecting new gear, even if it includes reading glasses and a heated lumbar pad for the car. The religion expert in me says that Buddhism is a lovely religion, but it has a PR problem -- "All Life is Suffering" is the first thing that they tell people? You won't get many converts with that opening line... The Dali Lama has said he doesn't want people converting to Buddhism, he wants them to be more compassionate. Tom, your thinking is right up there with the Buddhist scholars, the Jewish mystics -- if you smoke enough weed, you're with the Christian hermeticists -- all they do is ramble with second guessing. As for politics: You're Paine and Jefferson in your heart; you're Franklin and Jefferson in your sense of humor; you''re Adams when it comes to the guitar (the man would not stop); you're Franklin and Hamilton with a checkbook. ...I think what all this means, Tom, is that you're supposed to write a musical comedy based on "1776" and "The Crucible."
Im always happy to hear you talk about your kids. I was fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time with mine when they were little. The best part of my life. Enjoy it bro! It goes to fast….
" I PRACTICE when I'm drinkin, so of course I can PLAY when I'm drinkin." I think we just launched a new t-shirt Uncle Larry what do y'all think homeskoolers?
Besides the outstanding musicianship, part of the fun is just listening to you tell your lifetime stories and experiences, it's like having a seat at the table of a family get together....you have brought a community together like no other....
I agree. As awesome as his playing is, his down to earth, no BS way of telling his story is the reason I come here. Of all the people on RUclips, he's the guy I would just love to sit and have a beer with and talk.
I remember Vince Gill’s daughther telling the story about her dad telling the Grand Ole Oprey “no” because he was playing guitar on a song she was singing at some little event at her school. I guess that tells us all we need to know about his view on fatherhood.
Hey, man. Good on you for taking care of your kids. My Dad is a musician who worked all day , came home for an hour or two to eat and catch a nap, then went off to play music till 4am. He missed a lot. I remember watching football and fussing at him because he couldn't stay awake. This was most of my childhood until i was in my teens. He was doing it for the money but i would much rather have had my dad around and been a little less flush in cash.
Uncle Larry, I couldn't finish the video! I was actually crying when you were talking about the kids, and I'm not really a cry baby. Just brought back memories of our only child that we spent every possible moment with and enjoyed every stage of growing up. What a ride! I still can't watch the hours of videos that we had made since he was an infant. I know exactly how you feel, you never want it to end. He's 29 now and became a doctor. Couldn't be more proud, but miss riding a recliner together watching Disney movies. Enjoy it, soak it in! I'm still fucking crying thinking about it, but it's awesome!
"I practice while I'm drankin', so of course I can play when I'm drankin'." Uncle Larryisms Lol That Paul Simon/ Weather Report like intro jam is awesome. Gonna borrow that.
Hey Tom , lovely chat about your children. My son is 3 now. I work with a bunch of workaholics, we get pretty much get unlimited overtime and they guys tend to hit it pretty hard. One of the old timers gave me the best advice when I started. He said “ you can always make more money but you can’t make more time”. He was a good family man who put 5 kids through college. That was 15 years ago and it always stuck with me. Once those moments are missed , their gone.
Bukovac you are something else. I'm 73 and playing for most of it, but winding down. Now you show up on my screen and I'm fired up, back on the frets and doing stuff I didn't know I could. Bukovac the guitar wizard, I'm inspired again thanks to you. Magic.
Neil Peart had a great quote about life. He said something along the lines of life is a lot of blacks and whites along with a lot of gray. But it’s those glimpses of color that make it worth living.
Hey Tom, there are a lot of drawbacks to getting older, but in my opinion the biggest benefit of becoming an old fart is the perspective that your years can give you. I used to be my own biggest critic, and would beat myself up over any screw up, no matter how tiny. I write this because of your mentioning having self esteem issues. I can see what you are saying in how personally you sometimes take critical comments on this channel. You do know that most of the folks watching your videos think you're the greatest thing since sliced bread, and would happily listen to you play and ramble on for hours on end don't you? So my advice is if someone makes an dickwad comment, give it the attention it deserves and ignore it, and understand that you've done well, and better than a lot of people. Thanks for the great channel.
I think my favorite thing that I’ve learned from this show is how good of a dad you seem to be. I love all of the short videos you post playing with your boys. I put the thought of being a serious musician on the back burner in my early twenties because of having children. I wanted to be there for them as much as I could. I hope to retire from construction and play guitar for a living when my son goes to college. Hopefully I’ll have all of my fingers by then. I like Django, but I’d rather play with 10.
You are so right about enjoying those short bursts of happiness. My son is 23, and lives a couple of hours away, but he has been home for a few days. I posted a picture on Facebook, and it got so many great reactions: He came down into my mancave to learn "Ohio" by CSNY. The picture was of him playing it on my old Goldtop, and looking good doing it... And then he came back 10 minutes later and said: "Dad, you ´re playing it in the wrong key...!" Turns out I´ve been playing it in Am because of a singer I played with, but it´s in Dm... I was so proud of him using his ear, and of the relationship we still have. Happiness, right there.
Everyone is fascinated with your left hand and your legendary use of your pinky but as a perpetual rhythm guy, I’m absolutely mesmerized by your right hand. As always, thanks for the FREE inspiration bro!
Wish I could sit around playing and have a chat with my friends that would be 1/2 as honest as what you just said Tom. My favorite RUclips dude on the interwebby
I am not a musician, in fact, the only instrument I played was an alto saxophone for 2 years when I was in elementary school. I found your channel do to dumb luck. and I am so glad I did. I love to watch and listen to a guy that is so chill, and real. Period. Thanks Tom, Uncle Larry!
I believe you just took us to church a bit here Tom. Thanks man. Preach it! That was a beautiful reflection on life. You worded that so perfectly and shared lots for anyone to be able to appreciate and reflect on. You have a beautiful heart. Your guitar playing is pretty decent too! LOL J/K. Hey bro, you are a beast. You are an old soul. I have been playing for 58 years now and I still love the little nuggets you throw out for us to catch and use. Appreciated. Keep them coming. Cheers and regards from Stratford, Ontario, Canada. 😎✌🎸
UL, I'm an optimist but also a realist. The bottom line is that life ISN'T fair. Just cruise through those times and wait for better times. And make the day what you want it to be, every day.
Hey Tom, I wonder if you see comments on these old ones, but what you said about photos and looking at old ones making you cry I can relate to. I wish it weren't the case. It's happening with music now too. I used to listen to music I loved as a kid and feel great about it, and now some of the same music makes me so sad I have to turn it off. I think it's about a break up I went through and the loss of our dog. I hope I can listen to that music again with more of a sense of gratitude than loss. Thanks for everything you talk about brother.
Brilliant! - "I think people respond to dynamics more than anything in music. Sometimes the way to get people to listen the hardest is to play soft with great intent".
What a Great Saturday mornin’ - & 192 videos so far - I‘ve been watching from the early videos. It’s going to be a great day! Music & thoughts - as good as it gets - Thanks Larry
I still remember seeing that rig rundown and being floored by all the musical ideas flowing, warts n all. Ive always been a fan of the session rundowns, Kenny Greenbergs is certainly up there among the best as well. Just the most amount of wisdom. At any rate, as awful as the lockdown was it was cool that rundown shown a light on you Tom right before you started the lesson series. Couldnt be more grateful for all the lessons learned in that journey, its real sh*t and we all appreciate it and you Uncle Larry 🤘
absolutely spot on about the photos Tom, my kids are 43 and 41 now and looking back at photos , I miss those little ones so much, a magical time, anyway, keep inspiring me as you do, love from Wales, UK.
Inspiring as always, if I could play as good I could entertain myself but I enjoy seeing Uncle Buk! Thanks Tom u really do us mere mortals good with ur awesome talent dude just WOW every time!!!
You are so right Tom. Every grade school graduation, play, recital, game, family meal...these are so much more important than the extra bit of work you could have done instead. Those times spent with your kids are the "breezes of joy" you were referring to. Cheers man
Unlcle Larry’s 6 string life lessons, on a Saturday morning with a cup of coffee before heading to a session in Atlanta this afternoon and this was is exactly what I needed today. Life is about the experience and the up’s and downs are all part of it, Thank you!
I can't express enough how much I look forward to your videos. Smoking weed and watching your vids goes hand in hand with my off time. you are MOST appreciated
Great video. Yep, I love the ramble on vids! I totally relate about looking at old pictures of the kids. So cool that he liked your version better than what he wrote. Can’t get much better than that! Cheers 🍻
I appreciate what you just recommended about not hanging on to the joyful moments that blow into our lives too tight cause poof they're gone so fast but enjoy them when they happen. Thanks Tom , that was some shit I needed to hear.
lazy afternoon here in Italy waiting for my child 's soccer game... you re a priceless presence, your golden approach on music that i can relate so closely. Thnx for your disponibility and human generosity. Here in Florence i had the chance to hang with Guthrie Trapp and the smart Greg Voriobov. Feel a great connection with all the scene. Sooner or later I will knock at your door like an ancient groupie. Lov ya
Dude, just wanna let you know that it’s still enjoyable to hear you do this stuff, even after all this time. Thanks so much. Always something nice to look forward to. Cheers.
The best stuff ever man! Always a pleasure to listen to you talk about your experiences and whatever else is on your mind. We love it! And please don't stop!!! I messed up a lot of stuff in my life and forgiving yourself is the most difficult part. You have to keep pushing forward and be better than yesterday. Thank you Sir for being yourself and speaking from the heart!
This is beautiful piece of music.... because.... of Uncle Larry's practice....mind..... and hands. This kids is a demonstration of a variety of dynamics and touch all put together.
Yep. That rig rundown was the first time I saw you on RUclips. Of course I was aware of all the work you had done, but seeing you isolated got me hooked. My measure is that when I get goosebumps after hearing three notes there is some special magic sauce happening, and you got it! Keep it up Uncle Larry.

this earned a pin to the spitball wall of shame....but not to be spitballed....to be admired
I'm going to need you to carefully climb out of your own butt. Careful now.
[@@charlesblerzbo1616 what, in case he ends up in your butt, with you?]
Two things: Number one, this is brilliant. Number two, I just now discovered that I must be a Buddhist........
Im always happy to hear you talk about your kids. I was fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time with mine when they were little. The best part of my life. Enjoy it bro! It goes to fast….
" I PRACTICE when I'm drinkin, so of course I can PLAY when I'm drinkin."
I think we just launched a new t-shirt Uncle Larry what do y'all think homeskoolers?
Something about the guitar and sipping just go together, but 'all play and no work make Jack a sloppy boy'.
Yes a great T shirt
Besides the outstanding musicianship, part of the fun is just listening to you tell your lifetime stories and experiences, it's like having a seat at the table of a family get together....you have brought a community together like no other....
I agree. As awesome as his playing is, his down to earth, no BS way of telling his story is the reason I come here. Of all the people on RUclips, he's the guy I would just love to sit and have a beer with and talk.
@@mileswatkinson8135 im going to find Tom, im going to have that beer.....someday!
He's my Dutch uncle.
Absolutely.
Tommy keeps getting better and better . So much love for the guy.

Sweet
…good .. I’m not alone with my tears. Uncle Larry tugs at the strings for sure .
Uncle Larry first thing on a Saturday. It’s gonna be a good day.
"I practice while I'm drankin', so of course I can play when I'm drankin'." Uncle Larryisms Lol That Paul Simon/ Weather Report like intro jam is awesome. Gonna borrow that.
Keep rambling, that's why we tune in!
Hey Tom , lovely chat about your children. My son is 3 now. I work with a bunch of workaholics, we get pretty much get unlimited overtime and they guys tend to hit it pretty hard.

Willie is my mom's favorite as well. She named her Martin guitar after him. I still ask her permission to play it after 35 yrs!
Bukovac you are something else. I'm 73 and playing for most of it, but winding down. Now you show up on my screen and I'm fired up, back on the frets and doing stuff I didn't know I could. Bukovac the guitar wizard, I'm inspired again thanks to you. Magic.

"Soft with great intent"... that might be a new mantra for me. Thanks again and again for your openness. Rambling never sounded so good.
They legalized weed where I'm from. Now no one goes at a 4-way stop sign.
....and that's the pedestrians. Can you find twinkies anywhere?
Twinkie desert now
...yup .. might as well not have a blinker on cars either😐

the harmony is so existential now the jury is out if that's am easy thing to play or definitive love you man
Everyone is fascinated with your left hand and your legendary use of your pinky but as a perpetual rhythm guy, I’m absolutely mesmerized by your right hand. As always, thanks for the FREE inspiration bro!
The right hand is what separates good guitar players from great guitar players. Tom has a phenomenal right hand!

Pearls of wisdom Uncle Larry! Life's joys are fleeting but the reason we continue to put one foot in front of the other.
Brilliant! - "I think people respond to dynamics more than anything in music.
Sometimes the way to get people to listen the hardest is to play soft with great intent".
Nice a long video I can enjoy this morning!
One of my fav yet. Thanks Tom
Thanks for sharing Uncle Larry, always an inspiration to me !

Thank you for those last 5 minutes. It struck home. I feel like I owe you for a therapy session.
Beautiful personal stuff about life, your mom and sons, you seem like a good father and friend, many thanks for sharing
A quote I've always remembered- " Life can be bearable, and sometimes even interesting, if you don't expect it to make you happy."
The most real thing I have heard all week. Thanks Tom. Keep on trucking y’all

These are the best episodes - you're a great hang Uncle Larry!
Your vibrato is so on point and tasty EVERY part you play. Dang man -
thanks for the chat about your mom....I'm sure it made us all think fondly of our dear old moms
This rambling was as good as your best guitar video .
Thanks for sharing stories about your mom .
That was so moving . ❤
I put my headphones on this one. Supercool. Thank you.
You are so right Tom. Every grade school graduation, play, recital, game, family meal...these are so much more important than the extra bit of work you could have done instead. Those times spent with your kids are the "breezes of joy" you were referring to. Cheers man
Yep, I do enjoy the rambling videos. I enjoy them quite a lot.

Good Morning Little Tommy! Sweet and inspiring tunes before my MST zone coffee is done brewing!
You nailed it Tom! Be content in whatever circumstance you are in, where you are & what you have.
I appreciate what you just recommended about not hanging on to the joyful moments that blow into our lives too tight cause poof they're gone so fast but enjoy them when they happen. Thanks Tom , that was some shit I needed to hear.

Kids are grown and I made sure I was there for all of it. I've loved all the stages. You have a lot to look forward to Tom.
Thanks for a marvelous "chat" and some explosive playing!

Thank you Sir for being yourself and speaking from the heart!
Truly incredible playing 👏🏼
This is beautiful piece of music.... because.... of Uncle Larry's practice....mind..... and hands. This kids is a demonstration of a variety of dynamics and touch all put together.
Hey Tom , the videos you did with Otis were really cool. Thanks man
Love this!
Yep. That rig rundown was the first time I saw you on RUclips. Of course I was aware of all the work you had done, but seeing you isolated got me hooked. My measure is that when I get goosebumps after hearing three notes there is some special magic sauce happening, and you got it! Keep it up Uncle Larry.
