- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ย. 2024
- I saw an ad for a Stratocaster on Reverb a couple days ago where a guy described the color as “seafood green”….oh man, that got me…
Anyway, here’s a 17 minute ramble from a guy who hasn’t been around many people any older than 9 years old in several days.
If anyone out there knows what issue of guitar player mag i got “writ up” in recently please tell me, cuz i can’t find the fucking thing....like who is on the cover?
totally unrelated, dig this crazy video....my son watched this and all he said afterwards was "knuckleheads..." kinda under his breath......hahaaaaa, wonder where he got that?

Thanks for watching friends

Aw man... I met Phil Collins and Chester Thompson once. I was at Berklee college doing a recording session in Studio B, like my junior year, so around 1988.
It seems that someone was taking them on a tour of the school before their gig that night, and they came in the the control room while we were doing a take. I don't even remember what we were playing, but evidently they were liking what they heard because the engineer called me into the control room and holy crap, there was Phil Collins and Chester Thompson standing their grinning at me. Phil introduced himself (as though I didn't know exactly who he was) and he asked me if I was the drummer, and I said yeah. He said, "Man you sound fucking great! You're going to go far in this business if you keep that up." I just about passed out! They hung out for a little bit and walked around my kit in the live room tapping on the cymbals and asking questions. I told Phil he could play the kit, but he declined and said they had to get going.
And then poof, they were gone and my head was spinning for the rest of the WEEK. It was a great day!
The "cut of his jib" refers to the shape of a jib sail. Back in the day you could tell whether a ship was friend or foe by the "cut of her jib". Liking the "cut of his jib" is a compliment.
Man of a thousand faces is surely a man of a million licks! Keep it up, we who know you, love you!
Tom, whenever I come home in a shitty mood, which is most days, I put on the Plexi Soul Homeskoolin Edition and plug in my 57 (Reissue of course) Les Paul Goldtop and play over first song to last and it makes me feel better about myself, my playing, my life. It lifts me. Thank you for that.
“Choppers are fair game”
“Larry’s not a digital man”
I swear, Guitar House has plenty of good quotes to use for new T-Shirts.
Yes, with a guitar and a chainsaw for the Choppers quote
“I’m a musical whore” might be a little NSFW, but I thought that was gold too
Oh man, yes! I do not wear logo or printed t-shirts usually, but I would definitely buy and represent with a "Larry's not a digital man" shirt. That's great!
Slowly gettin' used to the best uncle ever, sooo musical! ❤
Hey uncle, you and the Trapp man should be sounding awesome together! You guys always sound good and compliment each other nicely. Definitely looking forward to that CD!
God Bless!
Uncle Larry thanks for all that you post and the humanity you share with the world. It's a lot more than music for me. Manny blessings to you and the kids
Public Service Announcement: This episode has an abnormally high amount of musical and Homeskoolin nutrients. Be sure to chew properly and wash it down with a Yuengling or Rolling Rock.
Thanks BUK!!! We love ya.
Got tickets for Thursday’s show - glad you’re all back at it! Can’t wait!
Seafood green! One of the jokes around my house was an eBay auction for a Strat with a really "Sweat Neck". And, there's currently an ad on my local classifieds for a PRS made from "monogamy wood".
@@scottkidwellmusic9175 😆
Chopper! 😁
what a ray of sunshine in a freaked out world lol. tom, you make us smile with your wisdom and sweet riffs.
Huge Congrats on the Guitar Player magazine article, so well deserved and too cool that Howe was on the cover!
You got a nice piece in the September 2022 Guitar Player- not too shabby! Good for you CC DeBukovac!
This episode is hysterical. Thanks for the laughs and riffs.
I think the artist that did those blues cards is Robert Crumb. There's a documentary about him called Crumb and it's amazing. If you dig Bukowski, you'll love Crumb. They're very similar cats.
i have always been a fan of crumb....that shit is right up my alley my man
@@501chorusecho I should have known it! : )
I love the VCB. Didn't realize how much I missed it.
Hard work when their home but as soon as they're gone you can't wait till they're back love ya man
Probably the best parenting advice I received was, 'remember, the days are long but the years are short.'
Hey tom, thanks as always- youre the man. I like the re-introduction of the ol vcb. Greetings from hot and humid south central PA.
You are right, Buk... In Sailing ship times in Nelsons time and into the1800's AD etc - other ships captains could tell who actually captained a ship by 'the cut of their jib' ie how and when they would set their jib sail when changing direction etc... (the jib sail is the sail on the very front of the ship - the first to hit the wind)... kind of like a driving style.
Saw EJohnson live just as COvid hit in a small old theatre in Bloomington, Illinois. If you like “loud” you would have loved it. The place was full. Oh, thanks for all you do Thomas for free.
Hey I’m from Bloomington! Castle theater I’m guessing.
Tom, bought your bloody Duesy signature. Middle position with Piezo is glorious. Nothing like it. The tone lifts my soul. And these days it needs a bit of lifting. Best to you and your family.
there ya go buddy....glad you love it!
Glad to see you getting back on the road with Ann. Was listening to "I'd Love to Change World" by Ten Years After the other day and thought it'd be a great cover by Ann with her voice and your guitar prowess with the Dawgs.
I wasn’t going to comment until I heard CC DeVille!
🤣 classic Larry🤘🏻
Solo dad is definitely no joke. My boy is 2. I have him 100% of the time. Also work 40 hrs a week and do an original song for my TH-cam every week. Props to you Uncle Larry. Your killin it musically and parentally. 👨👦🎸🤘
Always good to hear from you. Love pulling up the current Ann Wilson stuff to watch you and the band.
Always a pleasure watching your videos Tom, adds a little happiness to each day when I see them come up in my newsfeed. Thank you.
✌️
Tommy, man you and Guthrie play well together and compliment each other’s style. I’ve seen both of you guys play with other greats, but end up almost embarrassing the other celebrity pickers with how good y’all are. Recently missed the 4th jam to my dismay and was elated to hear the magic coming out of that small dive bar. Wish I was there that night. Looking forward to hearing your collaboration w @guthrietrapp
Talent is motion. This is always a good example of just what that talent is. Just Larry making it happen . Kudos!
The heat my God the heat! Stay cool Tom!!
Uncle Larry a jib is the forward sail on a sail boat. kept the youtubes coming love them!
Thank goodness! You and Guthrie together! Get Nobles to sponsor that studio time!
I can’t wait to hear it!
Thanks Uncle Larry! Regarding the upcoming jam, if you can film some for us it would be awesome. I dig the behind the scenes studio and tour/show content.
You and GT rock the house brother. Cant wait to hear it!!
I first saw Eric Johnson 'live' in 1985?. I almost went home and burnt my Guitar. Almost.
You're always entertaining, and never boring. Much respect Uncle Larry...
Sounds like something I would buy Guthrie an Uncle Tommy CD
Quality listening and viewing. Thanks, Buk.
Always chills my day. Thanks
And no brake test. Knuckleheads is kind.

Great to hear you and Guthrie are going into the studio together to lay down some of your spontaneous collaborations. That’s exciting and something for all of us to look forward too.
I freaking love when you whip out that Duo Sonic man, the flubby short scale magic that oozes out of that guitar makes me so happy.
Just the coolest aren’t they? I have a ‘59. My dear old Dad gifted it to me on Christmas when I was 9. My first electric guitar.
@@tombstoneslim7070 That's awesome man. I've got a 2015 model and I adore it, I even changed the bridge pickup for a '67 Harmony rocket gold foil P90 and it just screams.
Watched all your videos from the start. Not good enough to take lessons from you. Your like talking to a good old buddy. Thanks Tom for being real
Hey, Tom, the awesome article on you is in September 2022 Guitar Player print issue, with Steve Howe on the cover. The hed is "King of the Row."
I love Phil Collins! My 8 year old discovered and loves him on his own... feel good to kno he's going down a good path
Ah, Uncle Larry, you get me every time you talk about your boys. Though mine are grown, i was a "solo dad", and they remain the best part of life. Now, i am totally with you about Eric Johnson and Phil Collins, groundbreakers that for some reason attract what seems undue criticism. Its funny, and sad how easy it is for some in "inter web world" to be so quick to find fault with those who did the work, paid the price, took the chances to be great. Kinda weird. Oh, and you are in that same league of genuine good people like Mr Johnson. We so appreciate you.
The headstock break was a cool question. Your comments were spot on. Way back when we were not hesitant to modify anything. Seems the company's caught up with the modifications.'70s fenders you pretty much had to modify them.
Great to catch up on the VCB. No Silvio …. 😆🤣👍👍
Duo-Sonic II, very cool!
The last of my three kids is about to head off to college and you’re so right, Tom. You’re going to look back on these days as the best of your life.
Good ole Larry!
Love Phil Collins! Genesis and solo early 80's stuff is phenomenal! I love Hall and Oates too, so it was great to see you with him.
...good to hear family and you are all good:)
You got a real connection going on with an audience who respects your dedication to the music universe. Thanks for investing your time and talent into all of us wannabees.
Put me down for Tom & Guthrie album, that will be so sweet.
Hey " Still Larry After all These Years". Been wearing that Plexi-Soul album out. If that doesn't win a Grammy it's only cuz they can't figure out the category. It's fan f----'in-tastic!!
thank you bro
good stuff. thanks for that little lick
I know we're all glad you got the Strat back. Thank goodness.
I had a headstock break on a Yahama SG2000, ‘little,bob’ at Guitar Guitar in Edinburgh fixed and it is perfect, they can be fixed, and give great service again. Larry, enjoy the kids now while you can, you don’t get the time back.
Great to see you again!
I can't stand oppressive either buk. wrenching on cars in NJ this week has been rough. thanks for all you do
The name Haukur is a Hawk (the bird) and his father name Astvaldsson is (Ast = love) and (vald=power) and son yes you gust it, "the power of love son". Thanks for all the vids.
thank you bro...appreciate the sweet gift
@@501chorusecho Hello sir that is not Haukur Ástvaldsson the man that sent you the gift, that is my dad. We are from iceland and wanted to offer á translation to the name.
So again not the person that sent the gift.
All the same I wanted to say thank you for all the amazing videos on behalf of me and my dad!
Àst og Friður
(Peace and love :)
@@501chorusecho Speaking of gifts, where are we sending things now?
Wow, la vintage just sent me the same tshirt, i took a shot on a k/line tele, best one i ever had! it has that effortless, rubberband thing a good tele does, rings like a bell....
Quite the Magatone Rig in Florida.
Heat is kicking. Fall is coming.cool gifts.cool riffs.
It’s hard hard work sometime. I just step in occasionally. It’s relaxing to listen to you. Most every mountain requires focus and chill to climb. I can sort of glean some of that off you when my boat is rocking. Like playing each day, settling down, bringing all the distraction buzz to a focal point, strings on a guitar. In the end, one true, real voice, a story, or a song, to string us along and forget our troubles a minute and chill. Appreciate you.
Nothing like some good long family time to recharge the soul.
TB you still got that White Falcon would like to see that one hangout.
It is hot as Hell here on the East Coast too. Any recommendations for a Fall Visit to Nashville?
Ha! My '71 Custom is a bit of a boat anchor whence my heavy as f**k comment. And my 75 Tele Deluxe is almost as heavy! I guess men were men back in those days, my bony back is screwed from playing those things back in the day. Thanks for the mention, Uncle Larry! Listen to Raw Power, that's James Williamson's '69 Custom cranked through an AC30, my idea of guitar heaven! Much love, Joe
I am a yankee in TN as well Tom. I am sure I will die of premature kidney failure due to my un ending sweating from June through August. I lose around 20lbs every year just cutting the lawn here in Knoxville. Thank goodness my wife is a good cook, otherwise I will be down to around a buck ten in three more years :) I love solo dad :)
I hear you Tom! We just had our baby boy born 2 weeks ago….number two. I love the kids but man, a weekend at home is a lot of work, lol
congrats mate....see ya in 18 years
@@501chorusecho 2 GP mags ordered and on their way to you!
Rolling Rock is back in stock at the Kroger in Bellevue
I hope the project with GT makes it to Bandcamp! I have Plexi Soul and TTW on repeat on there! Its so convenient without all the annoying stuff that you get with Spotify, etc...
Uncle Larry I'm having a Boston Lager and want to let you know you have inspired this ol Kat to play a lot more Cheers!
Solo dad on every Tuesday. Entire day. End of the day is like after a hard night drinking when I was in college. One entire week: that is one hell of a performance. Anyway, I dig your playing! And kids are the best, I do agree.
You and Guthrie recording? Heck yes, just tell me where to send the check! Thank you for all you do on this channel, love it.
156??!!!! Congrats, and thanks a ton.
15:10 CC Deville shout out! Some of the first riffs and solos I ever learned.
Vacationing all last week with my troop. My boy kicked my ass all week..no joke. Seafood green didn't go the direction I thought it was going. 🤢 I had to pick up one of those no-balls. That hurt a bit, but had to be done.
Lastly, I concur with your son. Not a word about the poor folks on the receiving end.. astounding.
thats EXACTLY what i thought.....probably some poor soccer mom just trying to exist
Good to hear you got the Strat back! Good luck getting it cleaned up!
You always provide tips and licks that are hard to find elsewhere... I enjoy you bringing the family feeling into your posts..... Here is a suggestion that you may or may not wish to do but I for one would enjoy seeing a "Uncle Larry and your son " in a cameo on your show. Maybe just a short jam that he has been working with you on.... Not trying to intrude in your personal life. Thanks Tom.
the IN HUMANE JUNGLE HEAT lol hahahahahah Uncle Larry you a funny guy!
In my Genesis journey I forgot about Songs by Collins. Land of confusion and That’s all and such. Found a concert at Wembley (I think). There was a guy jamming out a solo on guitar. Next song he has a bass. Along with the other bass player. It was madness. I love it. I remember some of those songs from riding in the backseat of a ford fairmont in the 80s.
There are a million old Epiphone Olympics and Gibson Melody Makers that have added humbuckers. Used to be cheap, cheap..."The one that got away" was a61 with real PAF's that sold for less than the cost of a single PAF by itself today.
Tom, does Ann Wilson ever do "Where To Now, St. Peter" (Elton John on tumbleweed Connection) when you tour with her?
Killer song!
Dude that's so awesome you got the quack going
Summer heat is brutal, even in Scotland! I’m melting…
Someone did “bad chopper.” of my ‘66 CAR Strat, using a rabid beaver…I think. Took the middle pickup out for a 60’ Humbucker. It was still a great axe.
Speaking of fuzz pedals, love to hear you play something using a fuzz pedal on an episode of home schoolin.
Seafood green haha, that’s gonna be in my vernacular until I dieeeee.
Larry, do you play your black Deluxe much? Totally dig that guitar!
Just remember if you make it to Pottsville for a tour of Yuengling, go down the street 3-4 blocks to Farlows for a great sub.
Hahahahah. I almost fell off the Peleton with the CC Deville line.
Show us your guitar collection! Do you own a 59' les paul? When are you going to get one of those race car driver chairs like all the other u-tubers get after they make lots of money. Nothing wrong with that , but I wish they would be more invetive in choosing sp their chair. Steel panther is glam metal and no you wouldn't do it cause your better that their guitar player. Your 20 levels above him. We hy are you called uncle Larry? I'm 66yrs and. You are one of the most inventive guitar players I've seen. And I may only be an intermediate guitar player, but I live and breathe good players in different genres! Luv your show.
Bukowski....Poetry of the Damned! ...Post Office is a great novella...hell all of them are great!
Pre-ordered the Trip The Witch vinyl when it first became available… I never got. 😞
Love ya Larry!
Hey Tom, when you go back out, ask Ann what came of the 'twin' matching miniature Les Pauls, built by Dave Petschulat, just for the sisters? I had him build me one also. He also built for Steve Morse and Eddie. Cool 'little guitars' :)
knuckleheads....priceless.... funny AF (whatever that means)
Got tickets for a show in Pa.
What happened to the ol‘ garage? Keep it up! Been enjoin‘ your show all along!
