Forgive me Tom, I don't play guitar, but TH-cam put you on my radar suggesting Corona lessons way back when. Probably watched every posting. I've played harmonica since 1967 and have learned so much about music and approach from you. The vibrato issue you raise here applies in spades to the damned blues harp. The note should be treated individually: dynamics, attack, vibrato or none. Your great gift of not going to the expected is such a motivator in my playing. Thanks for putting yourself out there: it's value and significance is greatly appreciated.
Uncle Larry’s ability to play rhythm, lead, remove his glasses for the cool factor, and adjust his camera all while playing in time never ceases to amaze me
I like when singers hit a note cold, and bring in the vibrato softly at the end. Reggae singers are great at that. This deeper level of touch, tone and vibrato is so epic. Teaching us the real shit. Thanks.
When Marshall and Leo grow up to be strapping young lads with some worldly experience and understanding behind them, they’ll truly appreciate what a blessed anomaly it was to be born holding the winning lottery tickets of fatherdom.
The pandemic created a lot of new guitar player/pet owners/podcasts. There’s a chance that supply has met demand for most but Uncle Larry continues to amaze us. Thank you
Wow! Great studio room there and getting to play on Peter Frampton's vintage SG too, way cool. Humble Pie "I Wonder" from the Smokin' album is one of my early guitar inspiration songs. You Uncle Larry have been providing me much guitar inspiration as of late, thank you!
That struck such a chord with me and is a genius way to look at it - what are you thinking about when you're playing. I used to think it was "what are you hearing". If you are the average guitar player (me) you're hearing what you just played. If you are a good guitar player (next level) you're hearing what you're playing as you play it. If you are the elite (you) you're hearing what you are going to play next.
I’m new to this channel, but I totally love it. The improv is wonderful and the raves are fun. It would be great if you put together an album of tracks totally improvised like you do on each episode. Then a follow up album with a bass and drums trio also totally improvised. No doubt you can find a couple guys who can do that….. Your playing is inspirational, Tom. Thanks heaps. 👍😎
Yes, Uncle Larry… The phrasing… vibrato, dynamics, the push and pull of music expression; all make or break a song. Perhaps the one thing that makes a great song truly great. Outstanding lesson. Thrilled that you continue to do this. For me, the key to your success is the unique combination of ability to play with putting into words the teaching of how, what and why you play what you choose in different situations. Some people play well… Others teach well… But, fortunate are we that you are excellent at both. You must know how rare such a combination truly is… Thanks for Homeschooling us…
Hey Tom, thanks for your insight on vibrato, it was well said. Doubt that I’ll ever get to that level but now that I know it I’ll be paying much more attention to it. Thanks again for sharing. ✌🏼😎
I'm a rubbish guitar player and always will be, but I still benefit from advise like this. It makes my day better. I feel like I've learned something every time I watch this channel. "Vibrato" in this lesson could be a metaphor for some other thing in my life.
Tom, You are so right about vibrato. The same applies to guitar and vocals. The saying, "Sometimes Less Is More" carries so much weight when you are trying to present a certain sound or feel. A single note ringing true with no vibrato can hold your attention stronger than all the fancy tricks when done at just the right moment and followed by a soft subtle roll of vibrato and the next moment can drive you in a completely different direction. As a lead singer who plays guitar I've always played the same way I sing without realizing that was what I was doing until you talked about that very subject early on in these videos. Vibrato is literally the expression of music.🍻🤙
Miles Davis talks about vibrato a lot in his autobiography and how his high school teacher convinced him to develop a style where he was comfortable hitting notes cold. That less is more approach really led to him developing an iconic voice on the instrument.
Thanks for this, Little Tommy! You have a way of bringing these advanced concepts to light! It gives us something worthwhile to consider along our guitar journey!
Dearest Uncle, as much as mystery inhabits your playing in many, many aspects, today I wonder -again- how you’re getting that incredible horn like sound when you hit some notes. Thanks for your videos!!
Priceless words from the mouth of a humble Session Man. Thank you so much for all you do, Uncle Larry! I’m so glad I found your channel earlier this year. And thank you to all those who commented on videos of Willie’s bday bash about some guy named Uncle Larry, it made me curious enough to look up this guy! This is a great community you’ve got here. Feel fortunate to be part of it. Thank you, all.
I heard you mention the vibrato thing in another video a while back. It’s very true!! I have been trying to be mindful of when and how to use it every since. Makes a big difference when I go back and listen to myself. The phrasing sounds better; more intentional. If you have too much coffee, that involuntary vibrato gets way too tight also. Sounds weird and twitchy. No bueno. Everyone needs an uncle Larry looking out. I found you through GT’s channel. Love you both man. Thanks again.
I in the recent years have seen myself fall in that mode also...where I can move fluidly,...but also have given considerable amount towards dynamics an technique....but only when improvising an accompanying...I still think your open string droning an fraising is art ...your melodies an feel keep bringing me back to you ,..so keep em coming uncle Larry...🤘
You get the sounds I aspire to. The big rusty door hinge sound, like in an old Hammer Horror film where the hinge vibrates the whole door and the frame in a resonant bliss, that or that greasy fried pork rind sound. The touch and the right vibrato at the right time is a big deal. I do my best to avoid anxiety and the type of vibrato that comes with it. Thanks for the Real Talk
Unc Larry, your comments about vibrato, and moving up the levels from beginner to master resonated so much with me. I’m 66 and finally having guitar lessons where I’m now getting understanding of theory and thinking about what I’m playing. Thanks mate.
Your playing is so far beyond my ability that I'm not even prepared to implement your advice. However, I'll do my best to incorporate your ideas into my playing as best I can. I'm not there yet, but I love your videos. Keep rocking!
While I'm definitely not very far above the intermediate level in my opinion, it's spot-on Uncle Larry what you're talkin about it's the number one thing I look for or listen for with any guitar player... back when I had the time during my high school Early College Years looking back it's amazing how much time I spent on bending and vibrato. I may not always like what I play but when I hear recordings of myself I don't hear that involuntary let's just add vibrato to every note especially at the end of every phrase type of vibe... so at least I got that going for me... and something tells me lots of guys are out there teaching guitar lessons that are essentially reaction videos to each one of yours and I bet this one is going to be weighing very heavily on the minds of many guitar players very much a breakthrough moment for most of us when you realize you're not just going through the technical motions anymore you're actually playing music on the damn thing
In today's lesson, we learn the foundations of Pantera's "Floods", including how to translate it emotionally. I had a few witty follow up things for that but honestly, music is universal and that's what popped into my head several times during this - it's like "wait wait wait...that's FLOODS"; connectivity is where you find the dots I guess. Thanks for another great upload.
Steve Howe is one of the greats at that vibrato/no vibrato thing - watching him taught me that sideways violin-style vibrato, which is almost more like a tremolo and is great for shaking a held chord without messing up the harmony
I think all these things that go beyond just what notes you are playing have been my main take-away from watching your videos. Vibrato, dynamics, time, touch, playing in tune, etc... Watching you play with such mastery of these things is so inspiring!
One of the best discussions about how a fully-formed player sounds like his/her-self no matter the rig. And the 9ths bit totally brought John Abercrombie’s Timeless back from the fog.
What great advice Uncle Larry. The word that comes to mind is "real" dynamics. Most of us think of dynamics as just how loud or not loud we play. But what you describe is what real pros think of as complete dynamics. Masters of nuance are the pros. Ever thankful for your generosity.
Not sure of your thoughts on John Frusciante but I've been learning his parts for a Red Hot Chili Peppers cover band, and it's striking how little vibrato he uses. So many of his licks and phrases are clearly Hendrix-derived but it's like this post-punk thing where he's like, no, no straight blues elements and plays with some weird plinky Captain Beefheart style.
Hey Tom, I can't tell you how enlightening today's lesson on vibrato was. I am definitely guilty of involuntary vibrato but that ends today. Once again you've offered up another tool on finding your individual voice on guitar . Thank you!
I loved the guidance on involuntary vibrato. I find that making a video of yourself playing and play back to both listen and watch your hands. You'll see yourself doing unecessary things that you might not pickup just listening.
Great video, liked the little 9ths move. Truly appreciate the knowledge you share in every video. Trust me, you've taught me a lot on many different topics. Buk and Trapp are my favorite guitar channels by far. I do question your new lighting techniques. Did make you look more angelic though.
Hey Tom, that touch stuff you were talking about makes so much sense, I suppose the strings/notes speak the way you hit them. You hit it hard, it rings louder, you hit over the bridge pick up and it's more precise in sound, more direct, and not as "loose" sounding like over the neck pick up. Also, I noticed that there aren't any involuntary hammer-ons or pulls when you play, you allow the note to ring out just enough for the next note to be picked but still have hammer-ons/pull-offs in spots that you see fit. Not sure if this makes sense, but what you said really does make sense so I appreciate it, it's more we need to be aware of certain nuances and when they should be used. Thanks for the videos! Nikolai from down under
God Bless you!!! I think oh no then I think wait I do that sometimes, then oh I can work on that; on and on… you remind me I love playing and your videos are an awesome trip… Thank you again 😎
I started playing at age 9 and broke bones in my left forearm (ulna and radius) at the wrist at age 12. My left arm/hand has always been weak b/c of it. I had to work HARD for the beuatiful vibrato that my guitar playing brother has effortlessly. Vibrato is such a key element. Steve Lukather's vibrato is probably my fave.
Hey, Tom, I might not be able to stretch like some folks but certainly can try my best to think about tone. What you said about shake was such a lightbulb moment. Reminds me to compare playing to singing. We'd all go crazy if singers had the same, invariable vibrato throughout each note they sing. The soul and character comes through by how they shape the notes in the context of the phrase. Thanks for giving the class the real stuff.

Yes, I really do agree on this point, I still remember when I first developed my vibrato, it was a joyous day, I could finally 'talk' like myself.

that red 335 is a winner, time and time again
This is great, absolutely love it!
Speak it bro. Totally feel you on the vibrato. Folks trying to play too many notes, rather than PLAY a single note that’s actually meaningful.
Cool man... so back in the '80s I learned that as a poly chord, stacking 5ths and had my own little groove 🤓Thanks for that little warm fuzzy
Hey Tom what do you think of the Grateful Dead, would you classify them as Americana, Rock or something else?

Hey Tom, that touch stuff you were talking about makes so much sense, I suppose the strings/notes speak the way you hit them. You hit it hard, it rings louder, you hit over the bridge pick up and it's more precise in sound, more direct, and not as "loose" sounding like over the neck pick up. Also, I noticed that there aren't any involuntary hammer-ons or pulls when you play, you allow the note to ring out just enough for the next note to be picked but still have hammer-ons/pull-offs in spots that you see fit.
