Let's not forget what this video is really about, I mean besides all the great guitar playing, this is a "good" life picture. After all the crap we deal with in this modern world, I see or hear 3 guys hanging and drinking a few cold beers and playing music into the night washing away the days events and stress, these are the things that keep us half sane stepping forward as we get older, thanks !!
Scary good playing and ideas in your demo musings Tom. Seriously IMO some of the most classic guitar tones and parts are nestled in your videos. They are up there amongst all the greats . That’s not even accounting your catalog of session work. I’m not blowing smoke and I know your best work on this earth is being a dad to your boys but . I am so blessed and inspired by your playing and musicality . I am thankful to God for your talent. It has brought me a lot of joy. Have a great day. Eagerly awaiting your next solo record.
@@501chorusecho Tommy I'm getting ready to turn 50 I've been playing guitar since I was 12. When the pandemic started and you started your channel you changed the direction I was taking my music. I simplified things. I Rely more on Melody than technical skill that I used to I should have learned that a long time ago
Hey. Buko! First off, I love the fact that you get this excited about an EQ pedal. It’s so easy for people to get all wound up about a new drive pedal or some new wacky modulation box, but it’s truly a pro gets a chubby over a really nice, complicated and powerful EQ. I’m really curious to try this pedal out as every demo I’ve seen of it makes it obvious that this is a serious studio quality box that, used correctly, can have subtle but vital effect on one’s tone. As always, thanks for letting us be a fly on the wall for these cool hangs! Have a great gig with Joe tonight! Your pal in Boston, Darin
Incredible Tom, I know you're fooling around finding new sounds, but making such beautiful music at the same time. Thank you man, peace and love to all
Amps in the kitchen! Uncle Larry making me feel more normal every video. Thank you for letting me be a fly on the wall on so many guitar adventures and hangs with your buds.
The quality of playing and the joy of music you’re sharing with us Uncle Larry is elevating our home skoolin ‘ community to a real sweet vibe. I may be speaking for a few of us here , It feels like christmas every time I watch . Much Gratitude
Thanks for the feel you put through those hands. I grew up listening to five-part harmony out in the garage when my dad's group would practice, so all those chords and string ringy things you do sound great. Never a lack of inspiration on this channel, fer sure. Cheers.
@@501chorusecho Yeah, totally sucked. Who cares about taking the time to craft tone with a new EQ device? All that senseless fretboard noodling. When are you ever going to use those sounds anyway? Waste of time when you could have been testing out one of those new Steel Panther pedals instead, like the 1987, or the Butthole Burner.
It was cool to watch how when dude change the pedal tone, your playing was inspired to move with new tonal quality of the pedal. Thing sounded effin great too!!
Headphones are where it's been at for every episode of Home Skoolin' at my house. I can see why you said the other day that this EQ pedal is primarily for players who record a lot of guitars. But even though it's not for me that DOES NOT make me a modeling "amp" kind of guy! 😀My 56 year old ass still brings a 1968 Super Reverb to every gig and I'm doing it again this Friday to play a 40 minute set despite the fact that the club has some decent backline available.
Uncle Larry just playing some sounds to test out some pedals of course ends up playing some truly inspiring music. I wish I could have been in the room to hear just how good it really sounded in there. If these cats are geeking about how good it sounds, it must sound fantastic. Then Tom quotes The Shins!! So cool! This is not the first time Tom has gushed about the Para EQ pedal.
The last comment is straight up. So damm, true. I’m watching this past episode today 3/23/24 And god, Larry’s playing just takes me away. What great pedals I may add. And not to mention homeskool is now over a 100k. Full of a bunch of cool music loving folks., That get a chance to hangout for a few good moments. Peace my fellow disciples. Have a great weekend.✌️
Tom- major props on these vids - absolutely beautiful pedal and love the pro reverb in the kitchen! I don’t read all the comments so someone may have mentioned this- your guitars are always in tune and intonation spot on especially with the open string voicings and myriad vibratos. Quite remarkable- here’s to a perfect Sunday for you and family!
Just want to say. I always read your video descriptions. Mostly on RUclips now it’s a clickbait thumbnail and barely any context or description. It’s nice to have a little story or joke written in there like you do and I always enjoy reading them. Anyways I wish there was an option to like the description lol Thanks again Tom
I just rewatched Honky Tonk Neon Light Saturday Night Special - twice. The way you made that old telecaster do its thing is beyond masterful. It's brilliant, at least to me. Like a bottomless well of great musical creativity and playing ability. Just listening/watching how you play, uninterrupted, gives me goosebumps. I often put Trip the Witch or Plexi Soul on while I am working, but listening to you free-playing alone is just about as good, and in some respects better. I swear, you could simply record some of your solo jams, like this one, and people would buy them. I know I would if I couldn't just get them free here. 😉
So happy this came out. Have been waffling back n forth with an eq to get. Thing sounds fab, just perfect for recording guitar. Thanks for shouting it out Uncle Larry
Cool sounding pedal, but the part of this video that really surprised me was when Uncle Larry started playing the Shins riff. I love that song, never would have expected to hear it on this channel (no knock on regularly scheduled programming, of course).
I would recognize that Pittsburgh accent in the background from a mile away. I am ashamed to admit i was using a modeler for a while because of my back, but now I'm using my tube again amps since its been feeling better. They are awesome, but tough to lug around and my 20 year old refuses to be my roadie.
Nothing sounds like a great tube amp. Put that together with Tom's exquisite playing and a cool effect 😎 and you have sonic heaven. I hope 🙏 you all have a successful NFL wagering day. A little side note I got to play a 1955 strat thru a 1959 Bassman the other day and I am still so stoked 🙌 😀 😎.
Nothing but tube amps in my world, as much as a pain as that can be. My kitchen doesn’t have a double oven with a fender deluxe reverb though. You’re awesome
Seeing this pedal demonstrated reminder me of an old Ibanez Renometer and it just so happened I have one.... so dusted it off and put new batteries in it and yep it works.... similar.... can't buy them anymore.... this pedal is awesome, thanks for demoing it Tom... going to get one...
Love that uncle Larry is out there, clowning the fools that think something that copies another is some how superior. It just hits different when you have someone at his caliber putting it out their than say when I make the point. I have no known music achievements to speak of. That doesn’t mean I don’t know great tone. Just means I never really set out to make music my career and that’s fine with me. Anyway, keep rockin, Unc!
I just went back to Volumes 93 and 94 from the old garage. While I totally dig the kitchen, there was something special about that garage, too. Maybe it was the camera angle - more straight on. While the newer posts have certainly become must see tv, it seems like there were more pure guitar playing tips in many of the pre-vol 100 posts. Just an observation.
@@501chorusecho It is absolutely great. Conversation with Joe Vitale was another priceless post - such a great show. It compelled me to pull up old Joe Walsh stuff on iTunes this afternoon and listen to those songs in a whole new light. Actually, I have most of that stuff on vinyl, but in a box in a storeroom. I know I should pull all those old records out and set up the old Pioneer turntable, but just never enough time.
@@stringlocker No. That is not what "this dude" meant nor was it what I implied. Good Lord. I actually watch old posts because they are all so good. I simply made an observation as to the view of him playing in kitchen verses the garage - no big deal. That's it. Out of respect for Uncle Larry I will refrain from further comment. Biting my tongue real hard.
Pretty cool, Larry. I've got a TC 1128 rack EQ that does a similar thing... Turns my little pro jr into a whole other thing. But ya can't put it on a pedalboard.
Jeezus impossible to judge, 1 top guitar, 2 great amp, 3 uncle who can make anything sound good workin them,4 the pedal jeezus wept a've no chance, 👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate. If it ends up on a board it'll be a have passed the uncle test. 😂😂
I so relate to the sound difference and how not everyone can hear or hell _feel_ it.. I'm the same way when it comes to listening and feeling the music VIA vinyl as opposed to digital. There's no comparison & I wish everyone was able to hear it as well.. Just to give their ears a good treat.. 👍 🎸🕊
There is one thing that I´m obsessed with: why must be effects (pedals) on the floor? They are meant to be controled with your hands (manuals) and I do it all the time to find the sound I´m looking for, so why are them on the floor? Because of the on/off footswitch. The hand is much more important here than the foot, but the foot wins, and I end up not using the manual controls on the effects because they are out of reach and I have a big guitar hanging which makes it even harder. Also ,I´m not that young anymore and the floor is far for me. That is why I use effects with external bypass input, like the Nobels, old T.C. Electronic... And a looper( too many long cables), midi, multifx are not the solution ( neither is another guy tweeking the pedal for you, like in this case). I don´t know why nobody talks about that. I´ve notice that you even ocassionally push the footswich on the floor with your hand!!!( Rig Rundown). All RUclips demos are made with the fx on the desk or on a stand. Someday John Scofield is going to fall on the stage trying to crank up the speed of the chorus, maybe then pedal manufacturers decide to make a manual version of their pedals
You play pretty well for having a "stout" buzz on and it got me thinking - have you ever had a stout buzz on during a session? I mean to the point you couldn't play? I doubt that is even possible for you. To NOT be able to play, I mean. :)
I am not proud of this fact, i suppose it would be possible for me to get to the point where i couldn’t play, but due to my “Slovenian constitution” it would be EXTREMELY difficult
But.... But.... Muh Kemper.....🤣 Are you gonna use this instead of or in addition to the Boss EQ? Or is it more of an apples and oranges comparison? This is so informative (like everything else you do) thanks Uncle Larry

Some of the best chording voices ever!!! Totally amazing. Pedals good, playing is way beyond the pedal.

What a beautiful, strong and fundamental tone right out the box. I know it when I hear it, but to find it, gosh thats difficult

Very nice pedal, bought one right after this video and very glad about it.

@@501chorusecho Joe Walsh gave us the straight scoop on you. You're busted!😎
Love how the Empress subtly expands the sound without changing the volume at all.
Take the pain away, make it shine in a British way.
It's all about Tone. Much respect...
Yes the Empress sounds great but, the playing, the playing. So musical and affecting.
I would recognize that Pittsburgh accent in the background from a mile away.
