- Uncle Larry gives you some more deep early morning thoughts and heats up the tubes on a whipped old super late tweed deluxe (1961) that looks like someone peed on it.

it all helps my friends....i'm going broke trying to get the boys moved into a house that they are actually gonna want to invite their friends to when they are all old enough to drive and smoke weed out of a toilet paper roll with a hole punched in it...
now i need that grill that all the brats are gonna get cooked on...and the cut up vegetables that get grilled with a little olive oil and salt inside the tin foil....you know what i'm sayin'...

im youngster deeply knotted up with the boogie and swing. to steal a phrase from you, "we are 3 removed from the boogie", but watching you reminds me that we never far from groovin tune. My local scene still respect the rhythm, recently just found an old band of cats that use to play in the 60's and 70's; holy moly were they AUTHENTIC
my man...i like your style
My dear ole Granny used to tell me, ‘you can’t drink all day unless you start early’
My Granma always said,"Ritchie, you gotta wear pants at school."
Ha! Good one.
My Gran said, “You gotta hold the smoke longer, honey.” She also said, “The cheapest piece you’ll ever get is the one that you pay for.” So true! Thanks again Gran

Between this channel, GTs channel, and Jedd in the shed, there arent any other sites that will give a guitar player the kind of inspiration you 3 dudes do. All 3 down to earth and doing this stuff for the love of music. Thats inspirational. Thanks for all this.
Every word you say is so true
So true 👍🏻😊
It’s really all you need.
thank you mate
I highly recommend Justin Ostranders' channel as well as these!!
Hey Tom, gods honest truth, I no sooner put my phone down right after watching this episode and my wife asked me to clean the solarium window in the kitchen. Inspired by your closing words, I got the ladder, glass cleaner and rags, without having to be asked twice mind you and risked life and limb to do as she asked. As I was finishing up she said “you really do love me”…❤️
…I can now spend the afternoon plunking on the ol guitar guilt free.
There ya go mate
There is much truth to the adage "happy wife, happy life."
When Mama's happy everybody's happy
Back in 72 my grandma used to tell me, “Johnny… one day the starship trooper will have a RUclips channel and you will be subscribed”… we all thought she was crazy and just talking gibberish.
Morning from the UK .. I hope everyone is in fine fettle .
On the “pompous” reviewing of another guitarists playing subject .
To my mind that is what a mentor/teacher/educator does and to have someone of Toms level offer this is a real gift .
I have taught beginner to intermediate guitar for many years and the lessons have funded my life. I am nowhere near a top guitarist and know my place in the large scale of things but I have started many players on their journey and feel proud in doing so ..
To have Tom offer this on top of his normal Home skoolin content is a wonderful thing and I know we all appreciate his efforts .
Listen, watch and learn . We will all be better for it .

Speaking of fixing stuff for my wife, she is actually a great DIY-er. If I ask her to do something, she says, ‘Do it yourself.’
Hey Tom loved the way you snuck that MoTown lick in at about 3:17. You clever guy. Nice rockin' session today. Thank you for that inspiration.
What is the name of the song? Thanks
Hey Buko.
Rockin’ Reggae with Stank! Very tasty indeed, my man.
To those who may choose to join the Home Skoolin’ community, perhaps this may help, perhaps not:
The Rules of Skool.
1) Do not tell knuckleheads about Home Skoolin.
2) DO NOT TELL KNUCKLEADS ABOUT HOME SKOOLIN!
3) If someone says "Stop" or goes limp, taps out, keep playing.
4) Play only what’s right, leave out what ain’t.
5) Where you end a note is just as important as where you start it.
6) Vibrato is a privilege, not a right, so please don’t abuse it.
7) Be thoughtful about the wang bar. Use it with love and emotion. Over use will grown hair on your palms.
9) There is no rule 8.
10) Episodes will go on as long or as short as they have to.
11) Your volume knob is your friend.
12) You know you have a true friend when you find yourselves finishing each other’s sammiches.
14) This ain’t a complete list of the rules.
15) If this is your first time Home Skoolin’, just act like you’ve been here before.
Hope this proves useful or entertaining and doesn’t result in me getting hit in the head with a tomato.
Your pal in Boston, Darin
nice one mate
Whatever you do, don't disrespect rule #8.
Well done
@@501chorusecho Thank you Sir.
Constructive, honest coaching is never a bad thing. Iron sharpens iron friends. Keep shining Tom!!
That reggae shuffle was really awesome - perfectly percussive and bumpin.. My dream guitar has always been a TV Yellow 50's special... That one has so much fretboard wear - love that LOVE. Armpit on fire at 14:24 - one achieves this level of guitar zen after 50,000 hours.. Happy Sunday, Uncle Larry!
my granny owned a bar, some of her words of wisdom were she painted in big words on the side of the building - free beer tomorrow.
My granny used to say "don't walk through the screen door grandpa... you'll strain yourself."
I discovered Larry right after Rick on RUclips during Covid lockdowns - two of the best things that happened to me in that weird time.
If one of our tech-savvy Homeskoolers would make a compilation of every time Tom says "..then I'll be happy" with the pause and stare afterwards, well...
....then I'll be happy 🧐
Such a great tone! Right off the bat. Mahogany and p-90s, of course with skilled operator.
I read the description
THANK YOU.....praise the lord
After 3 minutes your comment is still making me laugh!
Hey Tom , have you ever met Jim Fox and Dale Peters . Of the James Gang ? I feel they are two vastly underrated musicians. I know Jim still lives in Mentor.
@@tbone2451yes I know those cats…sweethearts
I read the description too, after my last faux pas.
I will gladly contribute to the grill fund for all the insight and killer playing that Tom so freely shares!
Thanks Tom!
Shout out to stringlocker! Stay real brothers!
Back in the late 90’s, I quit playing guitar to learn drums so I could get better on my “time”. Good investment of time. When I picked the guitar back up, it was like starting all over again. “Time” well spent. Thanks BUK!!!
Today's my 44th birthday , Tom ! Glad I get to watch another great video from ya !
happy birthday holmes
Happy birthday Jesse!
So glad you were born! Enjoy your day, Skoolmate!🎉🎈🎂🤘
Sometimes the opposite of what you think is the most important. As a kid my cousin Graham Todd (Cliff Richard, Olivia Newton John) mentored me about my piano playing. The biggest thing he taught me was to practice how your fingers lifted off the note as much as on - and always with a metronome. This rings true with the practicing your time in the space between notes.
That series of chords at 3min, is gold, Larry- gold!
Crazy how just 3 notes can send a mind reeling back to one's childhood.
"Reach Out I'll Be There" The Four Tops motif was in there somewhere.
I love the way you hear things and put them together. Original. That's the style of music I like... original. As a good friend of mine said, there are two kinds of music, the kind ya like and the kind ya don't.
Guthrie, Tom, and Rick! Way cool! Can't wait for Rick to post it on his huge RUclips channel!
One of the few channels where I feel like we're just having a conversation and hanging out.
❤indeed!
Thanks for the Nolan Ryan doc recommendation the other day. So good. Love and appreciate all that you do. cheers!
Good morning Uncle Larry. Great lesson critique previously shown. I love to start my mornings with a good Ol Uncle Larry vid. 😊
Offering your your experience to others for free is a gift you give to others .I've been playing for over 50 years and find you motivating and I learn from you . Good on you and Thank You !!
GM! There’s a lot to glean from your videos Uncle Larry. I’m so glad I stumbled onto the homeskoolin channel a few yrs ago.
Thank you.
Now thats playin with feel!!! Thanks for showing how its done sir!
Every musician has to be a drummer... time keeper.
😎👍 Thanks for all the posts! Best of luck on the move brother!
Hundreds of videos and I still see new ideas in every one. It’s unbelievable.
I’ve played and watched guitarists for more than 30 years, but I’ve never seen someone with a deeper well.
thank you buddy, i have always hated repeating myself
I read the video description and I just wanted to say, you’re a cool dad Tom.
I watch this channel for the guitar content, but I always catch that you’re thinking about and talking about your kids. As someone who had a dad that was very aloof and pretty much ignored me growing up, I hope when I have kids someday I can break the cycle and be a little bit like you.
Keep rockin’
thank you mate, i sincerely appreciate that
I watched the review and found it very informative. It was kindly done and should have caused no problems. It is always valuable to have someone criticize playing from outside as long as it is done with respect and kindness.
Love the new album sir. Thank you for the music and inspiration 😎
thank you brother
I absolutely love your sincerity and honesty - as well as listening to your playing. Your down to earth insights on music, guitar, gear and life in general is a breath of fresh air. I am an amateur guitarist with a small crew of musicians - referred to as the Improv(e) Collective. - where we simply improv and explore anything everything we are capable of. Keep on keeping on on!
really cool riffs- as usual!
Loved my three piece Bands because of the stops and holes . I learned too play rhythm & lead at the age 12 now 67 . Soo Much Fun 💫
Tom's Granny raised that boy right!🤘
The Danny Dugmore chat yesterday was great!
Reach out (I'll be there). It took me all day to finally hear the lyrics in my head along with that melody.
Larry -your "internal clock" is superhuman!
thanks mate....the pocket is all that matters
Incredible………so good..
Hi Tom! You have the best right hand in the business. Oh yeah, and left hand too...
Whoa Uncle Larry went a little reggae there for a minute! That was fun
Spot on Uncle Larry. No one ever gets better at anything if we aren't willing to learn from those who have paid the price to become great at something. You've paid the price to speak with honesty.
You are a lucky man to have sooo many friends.
Don't forget that while the outer moving experience is rounding into form -- so is the inner experience. How to get on with it, Uncle Larry. Peace. Love. Music.
I’m 72 and guilty of over playing all these years. I recently had a fall going my photography and tore my rotator cuff all to pieces. Major surgery. I’m now in physical therapy and relearning how to play guitar. My right arm and hand has lost some coordination. No more alternate picking ever again. And most important is the phrasing and space in between the notes. Learn to BREATHE. You don’t have to play everything you know and can do all the time. And learn chords. That’s what I learn on this channel. More chords and voicings. Tom you always do a great job on chord voiceings. And you are a great composer/guitarist. That’s what I’m trying to do. Write good string based original music. My hat off to you. In Stereo is a journey. Takes you places. Damn good. Peace to you and Dreg on. 🎸🎸
Here’s to a recovery that heals more than just the hurt parts. Wishing you the best, Skoolmate! Glad you are here.
Im one lonely man too, my brotha. Bless your heart and all you give
Old-school grommet on that switch mount. Too cool. Gives people ideas.
Uncle Larry, you are the best boss. 😊 You're a natural, one of the guy's!
thank you love
That guitar sounds soooo damn good and has the best tone with those P 90's and the ring of the strings with the volume all the way down is killer!
My grandma used to say "remember, tone is stored in the hands, and pee is stored in the balls".
sorry man, but that quote, is, disgusting
@@h.sinclair lol, I aim to either repulse or astound people, so mission accomplished I guess.
@@h.sinclair it's also not "medically accurate" whatsoever....

@@501chorusecho well I never claimed my grandma was a medical professional, just that she was right.
A machine my ninja- machine....cyborg metronome... props #1
Who knew the secret to amazing tone this whole time was piss soaked tweed aged to perfection? Just kidding...maybe?
Sounding great, Uncle Larry.
The safety coordinator in me says please unplug from the wall socket before applying the piss treatment!
For those that didn’t catch it, the tasty Spanish lick is from theme song of The Mask of Zorro with Antonio Banderas. One of my favorites. Love your playing Buk!
As my dear granny used to say , mainly to the men in the family… “ Where’s there hair , there’s comfort . “
Hey Uncle Larry, I stopped into Gruhns on Saturday and had the distinct pleasure of meeting your friends George and Greg. You’ve got some great friends there! George and Greg were incredibly gracious to Me and my Chaps!
Good lord Nashville is hot!
Thanks for what you do my man!
Really appreciated!
FYI, your new album with GT is insane!
Drew H
P.S. enjoy the brewski’s, I owe you way more than that!
My critique of your playing.
YOU ROCK!!
I will own that guitar one day!!!! Man I love that thing.
As someone who doesn’t play guitar, I find myself drawn into things he plays on this one, just a bit more. Somethin’ about it just grabs at ya
A friend of mine, Dennis, runs Traeger Man Grills in Nashville...I could get you a deal! Cheers Tom!!
Cool. Should do an episode of that. When he picks it up /has it delivered. Send Tom an email.
Man what a great sound from that guitar and amp
Lord, they sound good 🎸
My Grandmother once said referring to a particularly tight-fisted relative of ours, that
"He'd walk 40 miles for 2 free turnips"
She also once opined that her definition of a gentleman was "a man who knows how to play the bagpipes - and doesn't"
Happy P 90 to you too TB
@501chorusecho…. Rick Beato did a short featuring you called “Vital Signs”. Tom, you played that’s synth part from memory and Rick put the Rush mix over your part. The timing and tuning were impeccable. Great job!!’
Not saying he may not have nailed it, but it's a fairly simple ordeal to tempo map and adjust pitch to pre recorded music to fit with a
live performance. Infact those vehemently opposed to hard grid quantization will generally do a similar approach.
I'm sure that's what was done to Marshall's metal madness, a couple videos back. Infact I mapped out Marshall's tempo and did a similar video.
God, I wish I had the time to practice more. With being self employed, the work doesn't end after finishing work in the field. You get home to do invoicing, tax crap, etc.... but just watching other people play as I go from one job to the next is memory learning on the fretboard for me.
Many years ago I lucked up on a '59 Tweed Deluxe. Great amp!
dude your advice about the headphones, thats some of the best advice on this chanel ever for me. Wow thanks tom. I found myself doing that in recording and considered it red light anxiety, but now i see what the trick is.
learn from larry's years of mistakes....for FREE....950 videos...yet everyone bitches that 500 is too much for a guitar lesson....oy
A cup of coffee with Uncle Larry. Just no better way to start the day.
"First time it's ever happened..." 😂 (Interesting comment on Gear Page) Larry always has the greatest zingers.
Can’t wait for Homeskoolin by the pool!
Poor listeners also don't like silence, only the relentless sound of their voice. A great guitar part is like a great conversation, and an electric guitar has more capacity to converse through expressiveness than any other instrument except the human voice.

Happy Sunday from Vancouver Island Tom. Working on a little AC install over here before we get blasted from the sun all summer. Recently got a tri-guitar stand as I remembered you saying you dont put your guitars in cases.
Nice truth nugget at the end 🔥🔥🔥
Watching today's F1 and listening to the Buk. It works!!
I'm watching the Tour De France. The scenery is beautiful.
Hang in there Bobby S. You’re our great hope for the future.
Maybe it was a guest on Mr. Beato who said a guitar player needs to take a breath like a sax or trumpet 🎺 player does when doing a solo. Pause sometimes. I expected my neighbor's spaghetti to be spicy, she was an old Italian and made it sweet. If I expected it to be sweet I probably would have liked it more. The next time I had it there I expected it to be sweet and I did like it more. I think sometimes we think what comes out of a Stratocaster should be a certain thing, if its not then???? Maybe it takes time to acquire a taste for the unexpected.
If you ever swing by Burlington Wi. I'll give you a free tech 2 patio grill. or any other Homeschoolers.
I love it here so much. Everyone is cool and helpful. I'm 72, I've been playing a long time too. Many years ago I heard Willie talk about the 3 rules for his band. Don't be an ass hole, don't be an ass hole and don't be an ass hole! That was straight from Willie Nelson himself. Good rules for most any situation. 8) Love you guys, peace --gary
Anthony, you made an investment in yourself and showed courage by stepping out for all of us to see you receive feedback. And because of you stepping out, we all get to learn from it. I’m excited to see what you take from Tom’s suggestions as you will continue to get much out of your lesson for months and possibly years to come.
I too read the description. Other art forms are reviewed and given professional criticism. Take writing a novel there is a whole group od people that review and suggest improvements. Same is true for painting and the graphic arts. Could on a let us our big boy/girl pants and and not take things personally. Kudos to the player who shared his craft and music. Best lesson i got was on stage at a local jam and the house bass player walked over and said in my ear in the middle of my solo "Space is where the sexy happens" Later i found him and said thanks changed my playing from that point forward. He was helping me get better and i am grateful.
Tom genuine question that could be taken as me being condescending but I really don’t mean it that way. How do you go about picking favorites as far as fans and your comments section? I’ve noticed as with any teacher with a class that you tend to pick favorites as far as who you choose to comment back to or viewers you mention etc. Are the ones you engage with and acknowledge the most people who consistently donate or send gifts? Is that a factor? Is it based on the type of comments they leave and if you agree with them? If someone leaves a comment you don’t agree with or don’t like do you hold it against them if they leave a comment later that you do agree with or find funny etc? I know this might be weird but I’m genuinely curious. I’ve seen all your episodes and have noticed a kind of pattern but I could be wrong
i like wit honey....a person simply cannot be funny unless they are truly intelligent, you can't have one without the other, it's impossible.....
i can tell IMMEDIATELY when someone out there in comment land actually "gets it" by the words they write and the way they string them together
Nice Special
My main musical mentor was a guy older than me that invited me in as a youngster. He told me to “ play for people not at them”. Space was important.
105K!! 💙🎉
I read the description so this has to mean you have another cooking video up your sleeve!
Tom if I were a rich man you would be too! Thanks for all this great content
As a fellow Old "guitarded" rocker like you Tom, bet you've done this 70's timing tip (or how we learned before the internet) I used to put on a record or better yet the radio. Already, knowing the Song, I would play along for a minute, then quickly crank down the radio volume to zero.
Then whilst continuing to play "along" I'd have anyone around randomly crank the volume knob back up! When you're still in the right place in the right time ,you know can trust the clock in your head, or your gut , (and sometimes lower.)
Or the real way i perfected my timing /meter (this is an unforgiving teacher) Lock yourself in a room 4-5 hrs with an old tape echoplex or memory man. Playing rhythm and lead lines on the beat, berween the beat (fake dotted 8th setting) add your own harmony parts on the repeats. Practicing with an echo is how I perfected my meter or inner clock. You learn real quick when you hear your mistake(s..s.s.s.sss500ms later, later, later..
Fellow Homeschooler's it works, works ,wor....
On a more personal note..
I love you Tom ! Been playing 50 years! I think I'm hearing me talk to myself when I watch/listen to you. You're like a long lost twin brother I just recently figured out existed (one of our Mom's must know?)
Hey! I'll volunteer to be your assistant and go thru other home schooler's submissions. I'd even relocate to Nashville! I was just there for the eclipse. I tried to find you playing a gig that week. Nope.
You are the younger brother I look up up to! You turned out reallly good! Love to hang with you one day, both with a beer & our
(current favorite) Les Paul's in hand! Maybe I should send in my own homeschooler submission first? Or look me up on you tube so you know I'm 'as safe as milk'😇
Love,
Your "guitarded' older brother,
Marc Bennett/better known as:
Jewy Hendrix (on stage & computer screens)
Looked up alcohol and arthritis, one thing it said was since alcohol is a diuretic it can lead to joint pain because of dehydration. So drink extra water to keep hydrated if your having some alcohol. Someone said that's why hangovers happen. Alcohol helps some people's arthritis and aggravates others arthritis. So you gotta figure it out for yourself.
Hey Larry, many years ago a great old guy i used to jam with told me to give equal attention to what TO PLAY as well as what NOT to play (when you lay out). He went on to say the notes you do play are equally important as those you dont. Time and space are what gives music its vital tenson.
UL just keep helping, thanks
If I could keep only one it would be the Gibson Special. Probably the deluxe as well. Going to check out those settings now.
One possibility for the online lesson/critique segment; You could demonstrate what you mean when you are giving them tips and advice. The first one was pretty straight forward. You've already talked about the trem' bar and how to keep it close and be able to play with it in "ready position." But maybe if you played the part where he rushed a bit and showed how to maintain pace/space there. Just a thought. Keep up the great work and I'll keep tuning in;-)
Hey Tom I just stumbled across country’s family reunion Nashville, is that your pal world class piano player Gordon Mote I think it’s around 2008 , cool to see these awesome musicians
The "Shock Me" lick ❤
"we're gonna turn the microphone over to Ace Frehley....."
Stringlocker strikes me as the guy you want sitting next to you in a bar telling you like it is, or in the trenches.
Hi Tom,
I recently saw a video of you and Jed live . I really loved how your lead was following Jed’s vocal, in previous videos you explained how you listen to the singer and find the melody. I’m curious if that came to you n the moment? It seemed like Jed through a look to you like wow! Thanks for sharing the knowledge and wisdom.
I saw that, too. Thought the same thing.
