    We were playing in this little club doing an original and this couple that always sat at the back of the club and ignored everyone were looking at their cell phone. I chuckled because it was totally in character. After a few more songs we took a break and they came up to the stage and said, who wrote that one song? We were googling it and we couldnt find it. It wasnt really a compliment, but coming from them, 👍👍👍

    Wow Uncle Larry, you can channel the spirit of Waylon there. Really like the way you sing. Never had the opportunity to own great vintage, but if you think about it, they have a soul. Made from living things, the wood, the touch of the maker, the decades of the musician and singer...how could great old guitars not have inspire the birth of the songs in them. But then again, when you hear Mark Lettieri play, like you say...thats cool too. Your stories and insights are so often the highlight of my day.

They are so much better. A lot of my friends are big time collectors of vintage instruments. I’ve never played an original 59 burst but I can imagine it’s like an old fiddle.

I didn't even know he was there. Made my year. Actually may have made my decade. It was more than 10 years ago and it still makes me smile. Anyway..... how is it possible that the same exact sound guy works at every club ever??????

    The catterwalling is a perfect fit for the rough and raspy, smokey old blues.👌
    The original Nobels is like playing in a big open space that has great natural acoustics.
    The ODR1 feels like being stuffed in a closet or sterile recording both.
    One thing I have noticed is the ODR1 seems better suited to the less expensive guitars where those subtle tonal notes are less noticeable.
    The original just lets all of those hidden notes ring free.
    The second you hit the first notes I was instantly back playing my 63 double cut away with original Nobels. I haven't heard that sound in my head for 40 years, but I've never forgotten it.
    A rare memory for me.
    Thanks man.🤙

    hey Tom - this channel is the best. I have learned tons about guitars, amps, phrasing, feel, etc etc. Random question - as far as playing out live, have you ever in your early days been a part of a "musical train wreck" on stage? Most of us weekend warriors have at least one memorable "train wreck" in a band setting - usually they are hilarious (after the pain dies down). I can't imagine you having one of these "events", but was just curious. Again - thank you for all you do for the homeschoolers.

Very fascinating studio magic happened on that track you happened to just play today. Steve Lukather played the rythmn and bass on beat it. Yeah your my second favorite session guy!!! But you have the greatest you tube channel. Thank you sir! Oh shout out to the greatest drummer since beat it was mentioned. Jeff Porcaro!!!!!! RIP

    Hey Tom:
    I look forward to all you classes. Nothing beats an early morning cup of coffee on the deck with Uncle Larry.
    Anyway, I enjoyed your recent rant on Steely Dan.
    It got me thinking. After 51 years of guitar playing, I’d have to say that both The Beatles and Steely Dan were probably the most influential of all the countless songs and bands I’ve listed to over the years. They both had an incredible impact on my musical development.
    In my opinion, Steely Dan mimic the early musical success of the Beatles with their first 4LPs. “Pretzel Logic”, “Can’t Buy a Trill”, Countdown to Ecstasy” and Katy Lied”. These fourLPs allowed Steely Dan to hone both their studio chops and song writing skills very much like the early Beatles. Several years ago I notice a similar linear development between these two bands. Just listen to Katy Lied” then Revolver back to back and I think you’ll see what I mean.
    When they released “the Royal Scam”, I was blown away. I wore that LP out figuring out each tune. By far their best guitar driven collection of songs. But more than that, it showed that they were not only great song writers, they were great story tellers.
    Aja and Groucho brought them to new heights. Both of these LPs were and still are masterpieces. Now they fused all their collective studio talents and created a musical noir style. It was like they fused a way to tell a story similar Noir films of the 40’s and 50’s and bring it up to date.
    Each song on those LPs was like a walk through the seedy under belly of our time.
    But more than that, they also blended superb instrumental voicing with kick ass rhythm and horn sections, tasty guitar interludes and background vocals. Every song had its own distinctive driving groove. How can you not dig these timeless snapshots of historical coolness.
    Sorry for the long comment, but I had to get that off my chest.
    Thanks for sharing all your musical gifts.
    Your show is the best RUclips has to offer. Man, you can’t beat the price of admission.
    Stay Cool Tom

    The complement that really meant a lot came from my crusty Marine Corp father when he thought I was passed out on his floor. He originally came from Cork Ireland, landed in the Bronx in the late 40s. He could whistle like a mother fucker, and played some harmonica, mostly traditional Irish music, but he thought I was asleep on his floor and said this kid can play harmonica. Miss that man!

    When you tell your kids you love them two-hundred times a day, and it's obvious you mean it, it's doing some good, whether it looks like it or not. You're planting seeds, and it's going to have an effect on a subconscious level, if nothing else (affecting self-esteem and other things). I turned out alright, but I wish I would have had that in my life when I was growing up. As far as the Strat thing goes, I loved them all, but I'm sticking with the '63. That's a kick-a$$ guitar. 😄
