Tom, don’t ever stop making these videos. You’re the man.
The line between TV Copshow themes and Porno soundtracks is pretty thin...
A thin Pink and Blue line
Does the line not consists of the choice between guitar or bass?
"Sorry Officer ..OK, yeah, I don't _know_ these ladies. but .. "
its wafer thin
Handcuffs involved in both
Tom, my uncle was an actor on Kojak. Thank you for honoring the cop shows! These lessons have been often helpful.
Rockford Files is my #1 all-Time favorite TV show & still holds-up. Great theme song, too.
I too love the theme to Rockford Files. Mike Post wrote that and many other great theme tunes. Theme to Hill Street Blues featuring Larry Carlton on guitar Synth is another Mike Post hit.
Little Tommy from Cleveland,you have lit a fire under my ass. Been playing almost 40 years and getting TH-cam starting almost 6 years ago gave me what I needed to get better,but Uncle Larry you have been a revelation.Right after seeing your Rig Rundown you started HomeSkoolin' and I'm a student for life now.The CAGED system opened up the fretboard and taught me so much.The main thing that you have taught me is to work on being tasteful and letting my emotions flow through.So much I don't know but that's part of my love for guitar,the mystery of it.Endless possibilities and the vessel that gets me through.You have a charmed life and I can see why, you have heart Tommy.People love you because you're the real deal.Look forward to many more years of Home Skoolin, tasty licks, your pearls of wisdom, good health and happiness.Thanks for sharing your soul with us.
Thank you dude...very sweet...rock on my good man
@@501chorusecho Yessir, you're welcome 😊 Always brother
Tommy boy, I’ve gotta say you’ve completely changed my playing. As a kid I loved the feel and groove but at some point I got lost in technical nonsense for years. You’ve brought me back to the light. I feel like I’m actually enjoying the music coming out of my Amp now more than ever. I can’t thank you enough. No level of production beats a true professional with a cell phone camera in his garage.
Found your channel yesterday on Rhett Shull's recommendation, now I'm hooked. Love from Nanaimo, BC.
This homeskoolin family makes me want to cry. I love you all so much
I first heard your music on Blue Collar Logic TH-cam channel. Thanks for the music!
Any like minded individuals who saw Uncle Larry’s T-shirt and thought of the Genesis “I Can’t Dance” formation??
Hey Tom, love the show, been with you since the beginning. I have never tried to actually sit and learn what you play but I do find myself messing with a shit load of chord voicings that I’ve never considered before. I like all the others in “class” sure appreciate you taking the time to show us this great stuff.
Man, every time you play you should plug the guitar directly to the vinyl pressing. Jez what a mastodon...
hahah true that!
Yep. Everything sounds like a record.
So true!
The xotic wah is very tweakable and very useable. Probably the best one I have found. I have always been a fan of the more pedestrian custom audio electronics (CAE) wah as well
Hey Tom,
Just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for consistently reminding me that I'm here watching guitar videos on youtube because what I actually want to do is PLAY. Your videos are the only videos that guarantee a guitar in my hands before I'm even halfway through. Thank you for reminding me to maintain curiosity about the instrument I too often assume I'm thoroughly acquainted with. Thank you for reminding me there is ALWAYS more to explore. Thank you for just being a real cool ass dude with gnarly chops, great stories, and random nuggets of wisdom. I'm so thankful for your home schoolin'. It's because of you that I'm excited to play again... all the time. Thanks Tom.
Hey Tom, (that's how I'm supposed to start, right?)...just wanted to let you know that me and a few buddies are starting up a new band and we are paying homage to you and the way you have inspired us with the name of our band. We're calling ourselves Uncle Larry's Lawyers. "Uncle Larry" in honor of you and the "lawyers" part is a reference to the term "blues lawyer" which I understand to mean a guitar player that has gear that is of much higher quality than his/her skills on the instrument. Just a bit of self deprecating humor there. We're just getting things rolling, but one day, the dream is that we'll have our own t-shirts and we'll be able to send you one to wear on the old Homeskoolin' show. Keep up the great work!
Haha Uncle Larry's Lawyers only play with expensive vintage gear that they've bought from Uncle Larry's garage sales🤣 cool name.. I've never heard of that term "guitar lawyer" before. Look at that, learning new stuff from fellow classmates!
😆
Love it my man...tell the lads uncle larry said that it aint a real band practice unless you blow through a 12 of rolling rock bottles and have at least one inner band fight about “artistic direction”
Greg Speier go you guys. All the best from Buffalo, Australia
@@501chorusecho Ha ha! I will pass that along!
Tom Love the blog. Love your playing and insights. You don’t over exaggerate, you are a “master exponent of hyperbole”
Tom, I only have one hand and I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the importance of the 'pinky' as a dangerous weapon! Sometimes, you have to use every bloody tool at your disposal in order to get the job done. Nice work on the Baretta-esqe show music.
Just for the record I loved your tele and the stratocaster is the perfect machine....
Love that rhythm, reminded me of a slowed down The Faces “I know I’m loosing you”
Hey Tom, Gary Moore and Michael Schenker play without using their pinkies. Crazy. Sir I must confess that I love the knowledge you share so freely. Thank you for that. And the tiny glimpse you give us into your family life is so sweet. You are a special dude. Just remember, Dave Gilmour and Pete Townsend would have been hard pressed to do the things you do on guitar. You are one of the greats.
Gaucho - what an outstanding album. Big Steely Dan fan here!
Thank you, times a million for doing this show... it is entertaining and inspirational. I never miss an episode.
"The Claw" - Immediately thought of Amos Garrett. My great drummer friend and collaborator was a member of Amos's band for a time here in Alberta.
I love your soulful playing Tom.
Dude, thank you for keeping this up. We love ya.
Looking forward to hearing your latest project.
You’re an inspiration mate.
All the best from New Zealand
Perfect guitar and tone for this Tom.
hey Uncle Larry, just stopping by to say you are a true inspiration. havent missed any homeskoolin lesson yet.
Hello from the Isle of Man, inspirational playing as always... thankyou 👍
Can feel your love for Dave Gilmour in that opening groove Lil Tommy dude. As an English geezer, it's interesting to note that your heroes are Dave Gilmour, Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney and a host of other British players and song writers...why do you think that is? Been in this class since the very beginning...love the show 👍🏼
"The streets are tough kid. I know because I'm from there, but I got out and now I have a pet bird. You can too." -Every episode of Barreta ever
That shirt is awesome! Lol. Ordering one, right now online. :-)
I was waiting on the LP and snuck back to hear the bullet.
Thank you for your non-stop generous sharing of knowledge and perspective.
That was some ol' Truck Turner shizz!
Tom: "I don't know how anybody could play guitar without using their pinky"
Django: "hold my beer"
Tom: hey Django would you have used your pinky to play guitar if you hadnt lost it in an unfortunate caravan fire in 1928?
Django: hell yes i would have used the FUCK out of it and been an even badder motherfucker than i already am
@@501chorusecho good point. He was the Eddie of his time, nothing would have stopped him.

@@501chorusecho wow. I've had a bad gig but heck, I take back my statement. I once saw Tommy Emmanuel hit a bad note live, turns out he is human after all.
Hey Tom, don't neglect adding in an occasional "splash" of sweet Sarah to sing with you playing from time to time. Can't get enough of that voice as well as our " class lessons". Consider it our special treat for being well behaved students. I have a copy of Stupid boy, playing on rotation on my truck stereo. The Australian version with you on bass. Love ya bro!
I always think about how much people with your personality and talent bring to this world. When you pass it's more than your life gone, it's the life your life creates. You bring so much joy to everyone who knows you or have experienced your work, thanks for letting us be a part.
Thank you sir, very kind words...much appreciated
Never enough damage uncle Tommy!!!!! Keep the music comin man. I could watch you play for hours dude!!! So tasteful and so good man. Cheers!!! Mad love from Brooklyn!!
"Hey Tom" Been following along since quarantine... Long time listener, first time writer... Always finding inspiration and thought-provoking sounds in your playing and hoping that an ounce of that shit sinks into mine. I may not be able to practice as much as I really want or need to (especially with 2 children) but i truly believe that playing an instrument is the gift that keeps giving. Music is not my career, but music and guitar has been absolutely key in getting me through some of the hardest times in life.
There's always something to learn even after 31 years of playing. Depends on how much you want to push yourself... Hearing the sounds and seeing the chords you put together are so great and will continue to push me to refine my playing, to find those special sounds that hit someone square in the chest and ultimately produce sounds that move someone to tears as they hear that special note that evokes emotion in the special moment in time. You seem to find those notes pretty regularly...
So here's my question... and I'm not sure on how to ask it bc it's so individualistic. I don't think I believe there's a special emotional note or phrase for EACH chord in a progression, but there's likely special note/phrase that depends on its placement in chord progression as a WHOLE. Are you aware of these situations in your playing and if so, can you talk about your thought processes?
Thanks so much Tom. Super can't wait to hear that record/CD or whatever people are calling it these days.
Could listen all day.
Hey Tom, random question - Do you ever come up with a riff, solo, melody that you cosmically and totally pat yourself on the back for only to realize that you unconsciously ripped it off from somewhere else no less than two sips into a celebratory Rolling Rock? Asking for a dear friend. Love the show.
Uncle tommy with SG is just magic 😁😁😬😬
That intro was the sexiest thing I've ever heard.. seriously my pants just unbuttoned themselves.
Nice chord sequence on the intro tune. Reminded me a bit of Bobby “Blues” Bland’s ‘Ain’t No Love In the Heart Of The City’. Always great playing, Tom
Uncle Larry! Killing it once again Little Tommy! Thanks for the passion!
Wow, beautiful progression at the end of the class. Thanks
Loving those chords Tom and yes Fagen ... total genius
Thanks so much for these lessons Tom, they’re just the best.
Tom I just like listening to you talk. I did really like that song you did with your wife too. My wife’s cooking rice here in Buffalo, Australia, and I’m banging on about how I love TB and she reckons you (me) just love everyone. Hugs & kisses
When I lived in Los Angeles I would occasionally see Michael D Roberts who played "Rooster" on Baretta, which had a great theme song. Loved this jam.
Tom. 2 beautiful songs ! Thanks for explaining the chord voicings. we are learning from our professor !
Hey Tom..cold sweat, you never talk about it anymore! Thanks.
Kojak and Columbo are played back to back on free to air TV in Australia on Saturday night. Last night Columbo was matching wits with Eddie Albert playing a retired Marine General. I think I missed that one in 1973 doing homework!
“Send that one to the lab you technical geniuses.” HA ha! If it sounds good, it sounds good. 👌🏼
I’ve watched this at least once before and it is still cool and the feel you have is tasty tasty tasty brother! It reminds me of those special times in our lifetime when players just get it soooo damn right it moves you in a sort of an emotional level. Whatever it is, You’ve got it brother!
"Send that off to the lab .... you technical geniuses out there" LOL !!!!! ;) ;)
I was listening to the album "Owsley - The hard Way" today, great musician and great music. Some things are their own beautiful box and just don't fit into the spaces where others want to put them. Thanks for emphasizing melody over muscle memory and creativity that flows from the heart to the hands.
I played on that record i think
@@501chorusecho Yes, you did.
Hey Tom! Thank you for the continuing inspiration. Your playing is sublime! That SG sounds so sweet (with you playing it of course). Cheers from LA! -Erik
Great videos. Awesome playing. Inspires me to dig a little deeper every time. Thank you
Uncle Larry, I'm just a wee bass player in a little town in Australia and I love having a laugh with you and musically get so much!! You would go well here in Australia with that humour let alone musically!! Peace and Love bro!!Love it!!
Yaaaa. Love the T-shirt !!! Super amazing lesson today !! They all are - but this one just a hair more !!
You’re so cool man. 😎 the way you talk about music as an approach instead of “five licks you need to know!!”🤢 you’re amazing and super refreshing!
Thank's for the afternoon lesson Tom. Funny, in the back of my head I was wondering if the fam could hear you jammin'
down in the garage at 2 in the morning. I can remember back in the day burnin' the midnight heineken's chasing around
some cosmic tone in my head with the amp on one while other's were trying to sleep. Fun time's!
Doctor, thanks for the meds. Cop show or Gary Clarke Jr. vibe. Very nice. Always appreciated.
Loved all those show...my gramps had a 72 Ford LTD, huge ass car...The Second Arrangement
"Throwing your soul". Thats what i call it, thats what i try for and what you do every time ive heard you play. So musical.
Still readin’. The Second Arrangement. Cheers Tom 👍
Played my first real gig last night...On top of my set list... the punchline of "the southern joke"...
YESSSSSSS
@@501chorusecho A few lessons ago, a classmate commented on his Homeskoolin' t-shirt not getting noticed and you said the shirt was subtle AF. I had to add that it is not a shirt you run out and show one person....it is a shirt that you walk out....and show everyone.
Hey Tom, you know I’m an old guy (older than you), and I’ve never had music theory or anything. And while I’m no pro, I’ve been able to enjoy making music with folks pretty much my whole life. But you’ve taught me so much about chords. Like in this video, when showing us the one from the late-night ramble. That kind of stuff. Those what I call “non-typical” chord voicings. It’s really opened my eyes and ears up to possibilities and playing that I’ve been missing out on. Thanks for that.
Found you through Blue Collar Logic video, loved that cop/soft porn music.
Hey, Dave sent me! I watched his video 4 times just to listen to the music track. Dig it!
Uncle Larry, you've turned my guitar world upside down. Thanks Man! Absolutely love the hangs with you, I get it about 3 hours later. Please keep this good shit coming, y'all are like the Socrates of Tone! Stay Well! PS....let us know when the Schwag shelves get refilled. I need some Ts for gigs.
Yeah...and by the way...I loved that telly....I have one kinda like it but with maple fret board. ..she has been a great girl since 92...
Thanks man for the great vids
That CMaj7 to Bm7 was straight "Zelda's Lullaby!" Love it!!
Uncle Larry, thanks for showing those chord progressions like you do. Super helpful and fun. I’m with ya on the title, definitely makes me think of Hill Street Blues or something along those lines.
Funny that you should title this episode “Cop Show...” Your instrumentals are suited to the soundtrack world. Have you ever been approached to do one? Especially a main theme TV thing? Love your intros and expect some day you’ll be the author of a tv intro that sets the tone and is never fforwarded past. Thanks for the classes! ☮️
I was thinking something similar yesterday. An Uncle Larry score would be very interesting - Ry Cooder's done it, why not TB? Finding the right project would be a task, but Uncle Larry seems to have a lot of friends.
Got my RR themed homeskoolin T on my 16th anniversary. My wife was a Rolling Rock connoisseur so I have been myself ever since. My wife also introduced squeezing a lime in it as well... very good. I felt a legal obligation to you and her to order the Rolling Rock T on our anniversary so Cheers!!! Keep fighting the good fight my friend and thank you
- Your Eastern KY underclassmen
I can get A to Eb on the Strat.... too lazy to pull out the LP to see if I can stretch to the A on something with a shorter scale length. Also.... The Ned Ryerson (Stephen Tobolowsky) reference is priceless. God-Level name dropping around here...
Great episode, cop shows are in my wheelhouse.
Hey Tom....you know you made it when gear is getting listed on TGP stating "Tom Bukovac" approved! lol 😊
God Bless, Tom.
Thanks for the breakdown of last night's sweetness. Definitely must add that to the progression repertoire
This is by far the best of all Tom. Don't get me wrong but I love it, so so cool! I want a recording of this on my I-Tunes.
Hi Tom, Django Reinhardt played pretty cool without a pinky😜 you’re amazing ,thank you for your show. Greetings from Israel 🖐🏽
Yo Pinky Bukovac !....your tele sounds fabulous...and your playin' makes it sound better !!
Someone is not paying attention in class. Uncle Larry was playing a beautiful Taylor 12 string and a beautiful custom PRS with one pickup and they both sounded great!
.
"One man's meat is another man's sorrow"
-some guy
I've seen you play a strat, tele, les paul and yes ,a single pickup PRS, and many others, and it always sounds like you, Tom Bukovac, just like Beck sounds like himself no matter what guitar he's playing. Keep doing that.👍.
Enjoy your vid's and you are a very talented musician with a rich understanding of triads and their inversions. I also notice a strong Gilmor influence in a lot of your riff construction. So good to see someone who dives deep into tonealitys and their relationship to each other as opposed to "who can shred the fastest" all the time.
My wife walked in and said, Oh, your session guy, I'll come back.
WOW amazing chords!!!! Have fun with the family
Thanks for sharing!! Always love that SG!
I always look forward to your intro jam. I have my guitar in hand. I see how fast I can pick up the key and play along. I am fairly quick to get it. Then it's 2-3 minutes of "Jam time with little Tommy from Cleveland". Makes my whole day. Thanks!
Beautiful!! Greetings Tom. Dave sent me!
Thanks Tom, Killer as always! love your SG. Peace.
New best line “send that one off to the LAB”!!!! LMFAO! 11:19. Hilarious. Thanks man, made my day.
Way before you even spoke this had 70s US cop show all over it.... I was waiting for Leslie Nielson to walk past in the background 🤠🚔
I personally loved the Tele show lastnite by the way gr8 stuff
Thanks for the chords to Night Owl - I was going to figure those out during my lazy saturday but was happy and bummed at the same time when you went over them in this lesson - no problem but fun to figure out from loops, I'll go back and grab some lines you used over these chords. Thanks for all the material this week Tom. Too Much ;)

weeping demon wah: “thats a no-go” lofl
I saw you on Tim's channel and really liked what you do, and then I heard what you on Blue Collar Logic's video. Today, I watched Dave's show and hope that you can work things out with him. Keep up the great work. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share. Love your stuff.
Hey Tom we can imagine the police officer in sunglasses with the cigarette 🚬🤣😂🤣 great loop and lead work
