- Hi guys, this week I decided to take a look at everyone's favourite Nashville player, Tom Bukovac aka Uncle Larry.
In this video, we check out how he approaches the song 'Whenever you come around' by Vince Gill.

That whammy cut to Steve Vai killed me 😂
Haha, I actually love Steve Vai
You did Uncle Larry a fabulous tribute by focusing on what he does for the music, and not what the music does for him. I have been following him for a few years now, and he is an amazing musician. So are you. Keep up the great work you are doing here please. Thank you.
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the video
Excellent content my man!
Thank you for the multitude of insights.
I am very grateful you shared.
Be well.
Jeremiah
Yes, absolutely. He’s one of the greatest guitar players today. Uncle Larry deserves the recognition for his incredible playing and phrasing. Best guitar teacher a guy could ask for.
Absolutely! Very grateful that he decided to start posting on youtube
Uncle Larry is definitely one of my favorites…. He has for sure inspired me…. He’s just great…
He's great. I watch his videos everyday and I get inspired every time
Dude. I have watched this B Roll footage front to back SO many times. Every time I walk away amazed. There is hardly enough room for one guitar in that song, let alone two. Him and Jedd never play the same thing twice, and they dance around eachother so well.
I think to nail this style of playing you have to dive into the country world. All of the old bluegrass stuff is rooted around those easy chord changes, and its beauty is in the note choices getting from one chord to the next. My main guitar practice lately has been trying to learn what's played when going from I-V, or I-IV, or from the V-I, and to grow that vocabulary. It's really inspiring stuff. It's why I love Larry and the Nashville scene. The best of the best players playing the simplest chord progressions, but making it memorable.
Thant's right! thanks for this great comment
Tom, although a bit rough around the edges...is truly one of the very best. Homeskoolin is like the church of Guitar.
It's the roughness that makes him so great!
Don’t sell yourself short. You’re recreation and the lesson you made of it was great and very helpful too! Thanks for sharing your insights as well.
Thank you so much!
its great to see a video that focuses on the probably the single most important aspect of music ,Dynamics. It really makes a big difference to songs. Uncle Larry and Jedd are masters of knowing what is needed for the song. You do a great job at conveyeing this in the explanation and the the music . Many thanks
Thank you so much! To me this is what makes these guys masters at their instrument
Ol Uncle Larry has inspired so many people, he's natural talent and good dude with a big heart.
Beautiful! I'm just getting introduced to Tom and he is so inspiring. Great job.
Beautiful playing!!!!!
Love the analysis, beautiful beautiful playing. Could you do more rhythm guitar content, how different guitarists approach rhythm differently, perhaps?
Thanks a lot! Definitely working on more rhythm guitar content
That was gorgeous playing there Claude, I enjoyed every moment. I too am a huge Bukovac fan, and you did him proud. Plus I think we got a slice of your own magic there too. 👌
Thank you so much Paul! This means the world coming from a player like you!
@@ClaudeRuelle Thank you Claude 🍻
so tasteful. Really well played Claude!
I’m a huge fan of Tom. What you have done here is very wonderful and helpful. I came to playing guitar fairly late in life and I love trying to learn new things. This is great stuff… thank you.
Thank you! I'm happy you got something out of it
That was excellent, Claude. You've worked hard and really focused in on everything going on in the tune and their playing. Thank you!
Thank you!
Beautiful playing. Well done
Thank you very much!
Tom is an amazing musician
He really is!
So many great points you’ve made..! Thanks 👍🏼❤️
Thanks for watching!
We are always in awe of Tom. You did a fantastic breakdown. He inspires us all to play better. Awesome player yourself!
Thank you so much, you are very kind!
I just subbed to your channel. Your tone and touch is impeccable!! I thought that your analysis of Buk's playing was spot on. He's always trying to serve the song and listening to his fellow musicians to give them a musical foundation on which they can shine their talents. He's like a great point guard that makes all the other players on the team the best versions of themselves!!
Thank you so much for these kind words! I agree, Uncle Larry is the real definition of “pro” musician
Well done! Inspiring to hear some new ways to beautify simple chords.
Thank you!
Love Tom’s playing.He’s such an inspiration
He's probably my favourite player on youtube right now! Love watching his videos
❤Tom IS special
Uncle Larry, my go to for guitar...and you have done a fine fine job in showcasing him, and your own skills, thank you....
Thank you!
Really great!
Well done, Claude! What a great analysis of Uncle Larry's skills and sensibilities!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the analysis
Brilliant man thanks for going over this for us
Thanks for watching!
Very well done. Note your great respect for Uncle L. He is a uniq human being and artist. Thanks
Thank you, thanks for watching!
He is absolutely worthy of that title!!!!!!!
For sure!
bro, you deserve way more followers, awesome content, keep it up
Thank you so much!
Less is more...good job! Keep going & thank you for sharing. I tend to do too much when solo playing, Rhythm ,lead, fills its not always easy to balance. I think you're doing the right thing by studying one player and their way of playing things and you can emulate that you can emulate somebody else and before you know it you have your own style. Thank you for the video❤
Really thoughtful analysis and tasteful playing. Keep up the great content!
Thanks a lot!
Beautiful and evocative, maestro.
Thank you! Bukovac is the maestro
Love this video…I think you’re breakdown is spot on! I’ve found that one of the best ways to increase appreciation for Tom’s playing is to first, get familiar with it. Once you’re very versed on what he does, then go watch others play. (And by “others”, I mean some of the best.) Watching others play, while having the context of how Tom plays in mind, makes you appreciate Tom’s playing even more IMO!
Thanks so much for your comment!
You’re killing it bro! Close my eyes and I would swear it was Uncle Larry. Love this!
You're too kind! Thanks. But Uncle Larry is just another level
Super well done, very inspiring!
Thanks a lot!
Wow man very very beautiful. Got me and the dog cryin’
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights - you have great touch and feel! These vids are inspiring - keep up the great work🙏🏼 Subbed!
Thank you so much, this is very encouraging
Great Playing! Enjoyed the video, thank you!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
I subscribed, you make awesome videos dude and it's cool to hear you talk about the players you're passionate about
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid and channel man, subbed.
His playing seems to be so fluid and effortles, yet always perfect ;)
Yes knowing that he plays like that instinctively is mind blowing
going to subscribe just because of that video - Bucovac is great, what an insightful video, well done! great playing too
Thanks!
that all sounded incredible. Nice job, my dude!
Thank you!
Excellent video and great job! I've been watching Tom since he started his channel and he is amazing.
Thank you very much!
Very good analysis, dig it
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Very nicely done. Very cool video. Thanks.
Thank you, glad you liked it
Very nice study/tribute, and your playing is pretty darned good too.
Thank you, this is very kind of you!
Absolutely on point… Tom is one of the finest guitar players out there. He add to the music rather than trying to promote himself on the expense of the song. Just the right amount. Not too much, not too little… Fell totally in love with his Homeskolin version of Planet TD1 which was the musical discovery of 2021 for me… so I tabbed it and put it in a video for everyone to check out…
Awesome!
Very nice.
Nice!
Valiant attempt Claude, and great playing. Keep in mind, don't get too frustrated - as Tom has toured with Vince several times in the backing band. He knows these songs in his sleep.
Thanks a lot for these encouraging words!
...a really, really good interpretation ...you even got the look of his hand on the fretboard ...fantastic
Thank you so much. Yes, I actually intentionally tried to replicate that as well, to me it contributes to replicating the tone and feel. It makes me happy you picked that up!
@@ClaudeRuelle ...I've never seen another guitarist use this hand configuration ...he seems to emphasise the use of his middle finger often leaving his forefinger free behind ( a bit like playing behind a slide?) ...most of us seem to favour the forefinger and ring finger? ...I think, quite apart from his utter knowledge of the fretboard and more, it means he can play what very many other professional/good guitarists just cannot physically achieve. You did well to match his interpretation - I'm not saying that the technique looks 'pretty' but it seems to be highly effective. Here is an 'amateur' I really rate who embraced the Bukovac approach too - ruclips.net/video/ae5is2XBFPQ/видео.html - I'm going to send him your link also, lol
Wow this guy is a killer player! Thanks for sharing
@@ClaudeRuelle ...yeah, and in real life he's a driving instructor!
Beautifully broken down and explained. Very tasteful recreation of one of my favorite players!! Thanks for sharing!
PS watch the player’s hands and try to figure out the chord voicing he/ she is using is an incredibly valuable tip!✌️❤️
Thanks! Yeah, that's what I do all day to learn from my favourite players
That solo tone is just... **chefs kiss**
Thank you so much!
very pretty tune. I like to play fast but every so often these slows ones bring a tear to m eye
I've been all about the slow jams these days
Great breakdown
Thank you!
5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Buk is the master of melodic playing... period
He truly is. Thanks for watching!
Best of the best
Beautiful version. Subscribed
Thank you!
Fantastic.
Thank you! Cheers!
He's terrific, I always thought Mike Rutherford sounded like a machine with his rhythm, he's incredible as well
Thanks! Mike Rutherford is awesome for sure!
Fantastic video and playing. Subbed!
Thank you very much! Welcome!
great uncle larry lesson
Thank you!
Nice work!
Thank you!
Very nice playing👍
Many thanks!!
Nice job. Good quick talk. -s
Thanks a lot
Great job
Thank you!
Sounding good Claude!! I've been following Buk for a very long time, before Homeskoolin. I also just turned 71 (groan), and I've been playing guitar for about 55 years, most of it w/local C&R, and B&R bands. I still pick up tips from our Uncle, Starship Trouper. LOL Also everyone else for that matter! It's all creating your own sound. I could sit in a room, blindfolded, with 5 players I've known for awhile. Each player could play 2 bars of a tune I know, and I could tell you who it was! 8) I'm also a big Joe Walsh, and Tom Petty fan. I overheard Joe telling his touring band one time, 'never play a song the same way twice ', 'just make sure I'm gonna like what you play'! That stuck in my mind like glue!! Little Tommy Petty was a master of the 1, 6m, 4 and 5, and an amazing wordsmith!! His catalog is packed with "cowboy chord" progressions, spiced up just enough. For awhile I felt insulted by the term "cowboy chords". I can play anything in any position, but a lot of times playing rhythm I like the full length of the string ringing out. Nuts, didn't mean to ramble on so much. Great video Claude! 8) --gary
Thank you for your comment! This Joe Walsh quote is pretty cool!
Tommy from Cleveland ❤
Nice video.
Thank you!
I agree. Uncle Larry is 'One of a Kind'.
For me, it is his humility...
For sure
Reminds me of eric heywood style of playing as seen in ray lamontagne’s bbc live performance but different. You can find it on RUclips.
Thank you! I’ll check this out
nice playing, Buk is the best
Thanks!
awesome video man. would love to play along to the backing track if its available somewhere
Thanks. I've added a link in the description to download the backing track. Enjoy
One may favorite guitarist! Nr 1 is Chris Buck
Cool! I love Chris Buck too
Very tastefully done. What's your recording setup/signal path? Your tone here is just right - both in the clean and lead. Thank you.
Thanks a lot! My signal path for this video was Guitar > Nobles ODR-1 > Strymon Iridium > Line 6 M9. Added a bit of compression in post
I thought it was pretty good- humble, soulful ,good touch, great face pulling 😆 good homework👍
Thank you! Faces contribute to at least 25% of the playing
Your tone and touch are terrific! What is your setup? Are you playing into an amp or into a preamp and then into a DAW like Logic Pro?
Thank you! Currently I use a Strymon Iridium for all my amp tones and then go straight into the Daw from there
Great video! Sub'd
Thank you! Welcome!
He really is amazing.
He is for sure!
Agreed. It is easy to overuse the trem arm. I would say that you get away with it here because you keep it in a narrow pitch range. If you pull it wider, it can be distracting, but you use it nicely. Very smooth and musical playing. Well done.
Thanks! It's just that I have this itch to always reach for it
@@ClaudeRuelle Totally. It’s like vibrato. It’s becomes automatic and you don’t even realize you’re doing it. Like, how often do you think about whether or not to add vibrato to a note? Most the the time we just do it.
Great work. You need to check out Bill Frisell if you haven't already.
Thank you! Oh yeah I know Bill Frisell, I'm a big fan
Just fyi for those that want a backing track. That song is "whenever you come around" by Vince Gill.
That's right
wooow guitar sounds so great... amp or amp sim? any pedals?
Thank you! The amp tone is coming from a Strymon Iridium. Pedals were ODR-1 for drive and Line 6 M9 for delay and verb
Hey Claude
Beautiful tone
A ?
Amp?
Pedals?
Thanks!
Jeremiah
Thanks so much! Amp is coming from a Strymon Iridium. The pedals I used for the video are a Nobles ODR-1 and a Line 6 M9
I think you’re great 👍🏿
Thank you!
Nicely played. Gave me adhd watching you play lol.
Thank you so much! Sorry I gave you adhd
Listen to Earl Scruggs. Everything he ever did with a 5 string banjo. His back up work is a study in its own right. That's where Sonny Osborne always would knowledge and inspiration on his playing. Tom is a master. Im just a piker. 5 string and bass fiddle. I njoy his insights on Home schooln
I'll go check this out. Thanks for your comment!
great stuff!
just watch out for ya posture... LOL!
Thanks! You're right, I need to stop slouching over my guitar. I've already got some back pain and here I am making it worse haha!
@@ClaudeRuelle same haha!
I tell people he's my real uncle.
CANT A PERSON HAVE DREAMS
Haha I also sometimes wish he was my real uncle
Best thing in the video is the way you are mimicking toms body language while playing 1000% same ! 😂
Haha man, I tried to do this intentionally. To me it as much part of how he gets his tone as everything else. I believe we play guitar with our entire body and attitude so I tried to get in the same ball park
My favorite is Dave matthews but this is such a great video!!!
Dave Matthews' awesome for sure
A few swigs of Rolling Rock would've added a nice touch.
Haha yes, I still haven't got around to studying that part!
This is my favorite song of his from "Homeskoolin" and it looks incredibly difficult to play!
I'd love a video breaking down all the stuff he's doing in it!
ruclips.net/video/nZE3Ma8_TMs/видео.html
These are some tasty chords! Thanks for sharing this
Top 50 of all time, end of story, maybe even top 25
For sure!
😂@2:40
Steve Vai for the win! Jokes aside, I actually love his playing
Tom’s amazing just wish he’d jump on board with amp modeling 😂 I don’t think Uncle Larry will ever allow it even if it eventually sounds identical
Haha, i think that for him it’s probably more of a feel thing. Even though modeling gear sounds pretty much identical these days, it still feels somewhat different to play - at least that’s how I personally feel from my perspective of using both
@@ClaudeRuelle that makes total sense especially being a studio musician for years and years I guess it’s just a preference thing! For my wallet I’m pretty happy with HX Stomp 🤩
Love uncle Larry but Albert Lee is the goat rhythm guitarist. Period.
Click bait. I asumed it was about Malcom Young.
Malcolm Young was pretty awesome for sure
