    I'm an engineer. Never going to be a great guitarist. I enjoy the process of the hobby. Never wanted to make my hobby a job. Relearning to play after a couple strokes made it all the more precious. Every once in a while someone will mention some great guitarist who overcame some malady to be even better and that I have no excuse. Well, I wasn't good to start, lost the use of my left hand/arm for a decade. Feel blessed to be here...will die a guitar hack. I'm okay with that.
    Thanks for the forum to chat, Tom

In fact, I would have read that as a general conversation starter rather than a personal slight toward you... We British are WAY less filtered when we speak than Americans! ... I hope this helps diffuse any tension! ... Would also like to say that I think you're doing an amazing job with this channel, and honestly, I still enjoy all the content you share as much today as I did back in 2020 when you started... Not one bad video yet... May you long continue to find inspiration, both for your music and your channel!!! 🤘😊

    I used the whammy to wiggle and shimmer chords, and with a volume pedal, used it to play fake steel guitar in the variety band I was in for 27 years. I had a real early Paul Reed Smith, like from the 80s.
    Uncle Larry shows more musicality in 2 minutes on here than I demonstrated cumulatively in all of my 27 years on the bandstand.
    Talent is real, as is the lack of it.

    So fitting that you chose a Paul Simon tune to learn off a record. I just learned One Trick Pony and Nobody from the One Trick album! That recording, and many more of his songs are an exercise in harmonic excellence. Funny note to include in a message to you, a former Cleveland native is: when Richard and Paul, in the film of same name, are talking as Paul is bathing, the camera then looks out the window across Brookpark Rd. including the marquee of the hotel they’re in. On the marquee it reads “ Vince Harrison and the Naturals “. The band I was sideman with at the time. Playing at Joe Finan’s Four Seasons Lounge. Not long after I met your guru, Bubba and had the pleasure working with him and remaining friends to this very day. Sorry about the meandering grammatical extravaganza herein but a bit of Cleveland mini history. Love Home Skoolin’!!

    Uncle Larry! Firstly, thank you for everything! Your wisdom and guidance has brought new life to my passion of playing music. Secondly, back in late March I had the opportunity to go to Nashville (from Canada) to play on a project with Pat and Kalmusky at Oceanway and Curb. The whole experience was life changing, but Kalmusky dropped your name in a casual conversation and since then I've become a huge fan and follower of yours. It took 2 weeks to obsessively catch up on every single Homeskoolin' video. You're a massive inspiration Man and I hope I can buy you a Rolling Rock the next time I'm down there. I will be back LOL. Cheers!

    I think Fender should rename it the Beck Bar. On pickup height, I'd love to see you take measurements on everything. I think the most underrated best trem design is the one on a vintage Mustang. Great feel, less tuning issues. I know it all depends on the individual pickup but nice to have a starting point. Or maybe just a general approach to setting and balancing them. Seems like the bridge has a smaller window of goodness and then I get the neck to balance with it. Raising the P90 tip was a big one for me, thx.

    I'm one of the guys that asked about pickup height in the past. Thanks for answering. I'm also a fan of low pickups for similar reasons and wanted to hear your views on it. Another one that drives me batty is people obsessed with having all the pickups at the same height on a guitar. It makes no sense. I set mine where I like the sound of them and don't worry about whether they match each other except for similar volume.

    You know I have been watching you since the beginning, it has been one of the most enjoyable times i’ve ever had! I sit with my guitar in my lap and guffaw every once in a while. Before you it was a Brit ( deltabluestips). What you’re doing is special. Back in the day you had to get around, you had to look for other guitar player and when you found them we were immediate friends. You would drive hundreds of miles to hear someone of you r quality. It’s this whole age we now live in. This Brit more than likely loved your vids at the beginning , then at some point he went sour man. I appreciate the fact you even tend to read some of mine, and reply. I never get to serious here unless I have a question concerning guitars and this is the place to go for people who love playing guitar. Thanks Dave, dug your vid today.

    These videos are an amazing resource for guitarists, and so far it seems like every episode has at least one incredibly valuable diamond of essential knowledge or wisdom based on your experience.... Sometimes it's something you say directly, sometimes it's hidden in an aside/passing comment, but it's always there.

    Tom - suggestion for a video (and you are going to hate it but hear me out). Yesterday's video (Pants Pt 11) was incredible. How about an episode where you are watching that video and commenting on how you are thinking about your chord choices and how you are setting up the next chord so seamlessly? I know you are more of a point us in the right direction and let us figure it out kind of a teacher. I can do that and still not know why it works. Maybe there are more like me?
