    Uncle Larry has amazing touch no doubt but it's the constant musicality that flows out that amazes me. Never just a technical showboater playing overused cliched licks it's the MUSIC he creates on the fly that impresses most

      I could not agree more! A true inspiration for many of us fellow players.

      You nailed it perfectly!he's always playing these perfect melodies that sound like you've heard them before and it's always astonishing....he picks perfect melodies from the ether or something...!it's the years of practice and dedication, waking up and running to that geetar first thang

    Really cool video, feels like behind the scenes at Tom’s house. When he launched into free ride, that was the shit right there.

    Tom can make any guitar sound good but when he gets his hands on a stellar guitar it is game over. He plays with so much soul…..like Buddy Guy says, “I’m gonna play so funky you can smell it.” That is exactly what Tom does.

    back in the m70's, I played a Firebird through an amp called the SG system, or SG sound system. Something like that. It had 2x12's and a killer phase shifter built in. Cool amp, but the Firebird is probably the guitar I consider to be the best ever made.

    After selling all three of my Firebirds to finance starting my life overseas.. I may need to purchase another one?
    I fell in love with them in 1972 after seeing one in the music store window on pacific coast highway. 63 Firebird one. I’m pretty old now so back in 1972 it was less than $400
    I think I may be okay trading a TV special for one but I don’t know if I could bring myself to it…. Great Video!!!

    I actually liked both equally. I think I'd leave the stock pots, couldn't you just roll the tone back a titch? Or you could simply buy another stellar Bird and have one of each 😉 Can't go wrong either way, congrats on a killer guitar!! Thank you for sharing this.

    Dude. Uncle Larry’s mind is just an endless stream of musical ideas. It’s second nature he hears it in his head and immediately plays it. It literally makes no sense

    TB could walk into a pawn shop, find the nastiest used electric, plug it into the nastiest solid state amp, and play with as much heart as he would in a session. Born to play the instrument. Great video, thanks for sharing! My apologies, your playing is top notch as well😀

    Very nice compare/contrast the two guitars and the 250k vs 500k pots. I do prefer the 250k's tonally overall from this shootout. Wouldn't rolling of the tone knobs a couple of notches get rid of that sharp treble though?

    I prefer the 500K pots. Especially if you are using pedals. To my ears the 250K sound like there is a pillow over the speaker. Of course, maybe in the room it sounded different. 🤔

    To my ears the 250k sounds more quote vintage.but having good hands like this helps a ton also. Im not sure who what why where. But the guy with beard and glasses he was is are will be has been something at sometime. You dont learn to play like that with all i heard fkn around the bedroom 😮
