Man, can you move those crappy old vintage Marshall heads so we can get a good look at that ladder? ❤
I recon Tom should stand behind the Marshalls in the background and put the ladder where Tom once was in the foreground.
Hey Tom, I smiled ear to ear when I heard that opening riff from "She's So Heavy"! There's another solo that captured my attention as a young guitar player like a million years ago on "Something in the way she moves". That solo still kills me to this day! Well... There's "Another Brick" and "Comfortably Numb" but I'm digressing. Thanks for all these videos man, I really look forward to them!
Those damn Beatles every time. Freaking amazing. Love the Homeskoolin, Tom!
My God "I want you/she's so heavy" is such a phenomenal song
Man George was such a genius line / melody writer. I do the same thing imagining them coming up with legendary parts 😂
I like the morning Tom. Very witty, informative and happy. As soon as I
heard the first 3 notes of the opener I knew exactly where it was going.
I shouted "YES" because I am one of the follows who loves the Beatles.
I would love to sit with you for hours just talking about them.
You have a gift, I love your candidness and ability to sit there and share
your experiences with us. it's priceless. I look forward to it everyday.
Thank You!
Best evaluation of the CAGED system that I've ever heard.
The only obvious reason for somebody to give this a thumbs down is if that person held its phone the wrong way!
Hey Tom,
I’m 54, and I’ve been playing guitar for 30+ years. Thank you so much for sharing your “Musicality” with the rest of us. You’re unique, no nonsense, working man’s approach to explaining what it truly means to be a real “player” & not just a hack, is awesome. The youngsters out there could learn a lot from just watching your videos. I sure have!😃👍🎸
So good as ever. Thanks very much
This is what I always loved about Cheap Trick, they pulled this sort of guitar stuff from the Beatles forward into their music. RN is a killer guitar player. Its kind of dark, moving, it really sets a mood. Also the Buxton Hughes music i've been listening too on TH-cam is awesome!
Thanks so much Tom! Epic videos since Corona episode 1. Love from Ireland
Beatles guitar riffs are out of this world. I remember hearing Paperback writer for the first time and man that riff rocks so much it's intimidating. I just had to listen to it over and over. The groove is just perfect.
This one hit me hard today! Man do I love that song!! Thanks for showcasing it!!
Big Cheers from Toronto my dude. Keep doing what you do. This is all priceless knowledge and insight.
Great stuff!!! From Boston and appreciate it!!!
I don’t trust anyone who says they don’t like the Beatles.
I trust Quincy Jones
Me either
@@iwillnevergetone5 Chaaa-ahh .. Quincy Jones .. 'with the Beatles' ;)
I only trust random internet people and democrats. Very trustworthy.
Apparently Quincy called Paul afterwards to say he was misquoted, so we can continue trusting him I guess.
Hello from sunny South Africa. Thank you so much for sharing!
Jon Brion has always had a lot of the sensibilities of Harrison, I think. Love his playing on Jellyfish Spilt Milk, Aimee Mann, The Grays and his solo stuff.
Tom, neither one of us wants my nose where it sounds like I'm putting it, but your videos just resonate! Of course the toys and playing are swell, but you and your take on the video thing just sit in a pocket so many of us can relate to. Your garage is any funky shop we've all spent too much time in. And you talk like any good, crusty shop dag, elbows on the counter, just dishing experience. That's a disappearing breed, and I miss it! Thanks!
Great ramble Tom, keepin it real is good! Enjoy your show a lot.
Tom, you are exactly what the guitar/music community needs right now. I’m not talking about now as in “Coronatimes”, I’m talking about bringing a whole different perspective to the guitar that no one else is doing or has done well in a very long time if ever on social media. I understand your family time and schedule, but if you don’t continue these videos, you will be letting us all down haha. I never thought I’d get so excited about a 10-20 minute video of a guy sitting in his garage playing guitar, but damn man, it’s awesome and we all appreciate your time and perspective very much. Please keep these going and I’ll gladly sign up to support you on Patreon, PayPal, whatever.
Also, create yourself an Instagram page, use that to drive people to your TH-cam page and that’ll help increase your donations.
Thanks again!
I agree, couldnt say it better

Ill pitch in😎
Absolutely love this series. I think Its obvious we definetely need a video about the "devices" in music.
Big Al!!! Dude lays the stank on everything he plays. I'd say he's so good his name is now synonymous with that style of rhythm playing.
Hi Tom,
Great to see your videos in these unusual times, thanks for doing this. BTW, love your guitar collection!
Thanks Tom,
Earl
Tom thanks for the great show! Fortunately enough beeing in Italy I can enjoy a cold beer with you show as it‘s evening here :) Definitely a revelation in guitar shows, as you focus on the context of the guitar in a song and not just noddling licks. Best example today with the Beatles. Plus you made me take out my old Jethro Tull and Alex Harvey albums. Faith Healer blasting in the headphones, a cold beer and a sigar on the balcony at night is a mystic experience! Cheers, Andy
That tone in the intro to “She’s So Heavy”..WOW. One of my favs. That song definitely didn’t suck. Thanks again for another inspiring video and making us laugh as well.
Love the Beatles. Love the break down of the intro. Love it!. Beer Money on it's way!!
Donation sent. Keep up the great work! You are rare!
Putting a little something in the tip jar is gonna make me feel a whole lot better 👍🏻 Thanks mate.
These videos rock Tom! You've definitely got me out of an uninspired rut with guitar! Party on.
Thanks Tom, I look forward to this everyday. And on a side note. You and Sarah doing "Every time I fall in love" is so beautiful it reduces me to tears...I love it so.
Man, I like your playing, and your sense of humor. I learn a lot and you are right, it's not about gear, it's about music.
Tom! I've always been a decent enough player over the years but always get pulled to drums in bands. Because of the 'vid/quarantine, I've been stuck inside and somehow stumbled on your videos. Your first episode with the organ lick at the end....I've been practicing that EVERY day when I get up. I absolutely love it. Been slowly going through your videos learning things and you've absolutely reignited my passion for guitar, truly! Thanks!
Feelin the love for Tulsa in these videos! Guitar House and now Cain’s! Thanks for keeping all of these videos coming man.
sent you some cash, I am a 60 year old, music teacher/performer. Your videos are giving me so much inspiration and validity to ideas we both share about life/practice/gear/etc. The Catch 22, is, I lose practice time watching your vids, the bonus is great new ideas to practice. Thanks. I wish I could send more.
At least your not wasting time watching gear demos like most people lol
Hey Tom, You're right I been watching you for free about three weeks now so I definitely owe you some beer money. I'm a beginner and a lot of what you talk about musically is over my head but I still enjoy watching and trying some new stuff. Today WAS funny and thoughtful, Thanks...........
Hey Tom, loved the Beatle tune and wore that record out on my old record player in my bedroom trying to learn it. I remember slowing it down to to try to figure the songs out and it was slowed down an octave and then having to transpose it back up. None of that fancy slow down software back in the day. Great stuff and so glad your doing this. I look forward each day to your vids.
Tom
Thank you for elevating my game by introducing me to the Nashville chart system. It's a perfect evolution for my understanding of music theory. I look at songs and theory in a completely different advanced way now. It's cool how just "hanging out" with an elite professional can elevate your skill with little tips here and there that make a huge difference.
Thanks for all the lessons Tom. I look forward to my guitar lesson with you each day. I am practicing more, inspired more and playing better thanks to you. More Beatles lesson, please?
My first job ever in high school was a little music shop on the west side of Cleveland called Westgate Music. Norm Strelka was the owner and my first guitar teacher. Some 40 years later we are still friends and keep in touch. Thank you for doing these, Tom.
Great lesson Tom, love the chords that the Beatles used I was always fascinated by "Norvegian Wood" they have such a wonderful harmonic creativity. For sure you gave me the push to listen to this songs and try to learn how to play them properly
Mr. Bukovac, You have raised the bar ten fold in the online lesson forum.
THANK YOU.
I appreciate your candor, its so refreshing.
I actually lived in Antioch TN in 97. Met you at Rick Delima's studio when you were with Wynona. I bought one of the original Nobels from guitar heaven!! Keep up the good work my man!
I've learned so much from Big Al Anderson's guitar playing, that band with him was amazing!!!!
Hey Tom ; I was researching the Nobels ODR , and it led me to you and your channel of sage advise and lessons . You feel every note , you can see it in your face ! I’m 62,, been playing since I was a kid . Your playing really shines bro ! Anyone that says differently has their head up their ass . The lessons you give seem to be quite different from the normal you tube fare , and really fills a void from a unique perspective . Thank you ! You rock ! Great dynamics and touch and phrasing !
Dude, those chords make this video a GOLD MINE, I can't wait to learn this riff! And now I know not to say nineteen when I refer to my '68 Gibson Blue Ridge, bought brand new by my Dad, or my recently acquired '54 Kay archtop with a couple P90's installed on it, lol! Man I can't wait to go home and learn these chords, thanks!!!
Money sent Tom, thank you for these!
The end of That Beatles intro to "I want you" had "the Smear" ... Thanks for your vids! Appreciate all you do brother!
You love the Beatles..I love the Beatles. It's why I play guitar. Can't wait to hear what great licks and words of wisdom you have for us everyday. God bless you and your family. Rock on!
My tip is on it's way to your jar from England...I'd love to send more if I could, but I'm English so need dental work now that I'm working from home on Microsoft Teams. Discovering your channel is the best thing to come out of this shitty situation. Look after your lovely family, stay safe and keep the Homeskoolin gigs coming. 🎸
Steve Dawson sent me here. Glad to have found this. I am a guitar picker/producer from Vancouver BC. I feel like I have a new strategy in covid-19 survival. Thanks for what you offer us all!
Your appreciation of the Beatles is addictive. We do breakfast with the Beatles on SXM every Sunday here at the house. My kids love it.
You made me turn my gain down 👍 congrats man
Comedic Gold and I will be borrowing all the gems for my act. thank you.
You are funny even when your not trying, I actually laughed out loud at at the stupid thing,..... but so true 🤓 I live in Western Australia, so catch your video first thing in the morning, great way to start the day , thanks so much for all your wisdom 🎶💃🎶💃
I just revisited that album for the first time in a few years and the guitars ( well the whole album) I agree probably with out doubt the greatest. And the solo on “you never give me your money “ what more can be said. Your Awsome dude.
New fan From Italy! I love your musicality your humility and your pure love for music...Are you surprised for the sudden well deserved success of your channel?.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, Tom! Many thanks for the skoolin’ from an old bass player out in the Bay Area.
NRBQ are the best unknown band ever! I love guitar players who have their own distinct sound and you know when it’s Big Al playing, As you said people play and sound like their personality, no better example than Big Al!
Also how good is Gordon Mote, had the amazing privilege to do an album with him in the early 2000’s, that guy is a musical genius and a hell of a nice guy with a wicked sense of humour. Thanks for the work you put in as It’s great to see video’s that aren’t your typical boring clinical guitar videos with no sole or humour, god knows there’s enough clinical hi-jinx and humourless shit going on in this world at the moment.
Tom, I’ve been working on applying some of your facial expressions, while lm playing, and I swear my playing sounds better. Your enthusiasm rubs off. Thanks for it all.
I like how "he took me to Bohemian Grove, you all should look that up" is just a throw away story.
The QAnon's would go nuts hearing that hahaha
NIce !! shout out to NRBQ.. Great Band !!! Big Al great player.. they spent a ton of time up here in Mass, and CT. they used to play at the "Rusty Nail lounge" before it burnt to the ground.
These just excite me every day.
Am I the only one who thinks you would be an ideal Joker in the next batman reboot?
Those devices you talk about...SO TRUE. At one time, I started a notebook of ideas to use within tunes when recording in the studio. Tom Petty got me started with his 'Wildflower' CD. So many amazing uses of more or less instruments through a part. More or less percussion through a part. Acoustic and Electric, Electric 6 and Baritone, Baritone and Electric 12 string. Not even going to get into melody and harmony. Having a Toolbox of these pearls is a necessity for any Producer. And a creative gift for any musician. Finally...I grew up with Abbey Road. TONS of pearls for creating on that disc! How did they do it...George Martin didn't hurt. Keep on Brother!
Hey Tom! Love your videos! I'd REALLY like a more indepth video on those classic devices. I don't care if it's 10 hours long, I'd watch it all. I was literally thinking of asking you for such a video and now you mention it! I think that those devices are an unexplored area for most people and that they could lead to massive breakthroughs for a lot of people.
First record I ever purchased in '70. Totally formative in every way. Still one of if not my favorite.
That intro slayed me! Thanks Tom.
I've got a lot out of these videos. The daily dose is both humbling and motivating! More than happy to send some PayPal dollars your way. Thanks again Tom.
Ohhh. And I know we're not meant to get hung up on gear, but you have given me a really bad case of 335 lust!
George Harrison has always been one of my favorite guitar players. Great tone and even better licks. Thanks for doing this stuff!
It was the Nashville 6415 Area Code shirt idea that got me to subscribe. Love it... Thanks for the no bull shit approach.
Probably my favorite record of all time !
"You Never Give Me Your Money." Amazing you mentioned that. Abbey Road was the first rock record I remember - I was 8 or 9 - and that tune (guitar, but also the main piano riffs) have always stuck with me, my real first exposure to the magic of music.
It's so good to hear talk about music instead of gear all the fucking time. I have serious gear fatigue. I'm out of money anyway (like everybody else) so I will probably sell some of this shit and I doubt it'll really change anything.
Thank you for highlighting George's beautiful sense of melody, which is too easy to overlook in this post-GIT era of guitar playing. Long before the tribute band craze, I was contracted for a year to play a Beatles/McCartney show in the casinos of Tahoe/Reno/Vegas. Felt like I was getting away with something to be paid to play that music night after night. And Big Al & the Q! First time I hit 3rd and Lindsley after to moving to Nashville in 1998, he was playing that night with John Cowan. Inspiring!
Great stuff Tom! I'd love to hear some stories of your days playing on the road before you got into the sessions. Keep it up!
Great video Tom! I am trying to follow and be as good as you, sadly I am not that talented 😂 Please keep posting videos of you and your wife (angelic voice). I enjoy those as well, plus I LOVE her voice. 💓
Super shout out to Big Al Anderson! I grew up sneaking into the Rusty Nail in Western Mass. to see NRBQ. I've never seen a band whip the crowd into a frenzy like them. A few years ago he brought the World Famous Headliners to town with Greg Morrow and Michael Rhodes. That blew my mind as we're not used to that type of rhythm section badasserry here in New England. Al is a force of nature. He's the only guy for me to ever have a beautiful chorus sound. I believe his secret was the Roland Chorus Echo RE-501. I stood next to him once. I almost asked him about that but he was too intimidating. Thank you for these videos! p.s. if you ever get a chance please ask Al.
Really late to the party but The Rusty Nail and NRBQ brings back a lot of memories. Good to see Al's getting the recognition he deserves.
After that flub around the 19-minute mark I was like, "I knew it! He's human after all."
you feel better now?
@@G_String Not really, no. But also absolutely.
Thanks Tom you have been a breath of fresh air for us. Tell us more about the hook in songs, always thought Tom Petty wrote good ones
I love how Tom describes doing guitar work based on what feelings or emotions need to be conveyed. It really is his stock in trade skill.
Morning Tom! Enjoying you bro.!
I’d love to see a Bill Frisell inspired episode. He did a Beatles/Lennon album is it’s a beautiful piece of art that I’ve listened to. I love what you’re doing!
Another killer one, Tom. I was just listening to Abbey Road the other night and thinking the same thing about putting me in my place. One of the main things you project is passion. Would love to hear you talk about passion relating to guitar, music or other stuff.
"6415, that's not that funny..."
Oh man, that is definitely funny and we'd all buy one.
That's the slogan
:)
I’d buy one especially if it said ‘so many other obvious guitar choices though’
Tom!...what I like of your videos is that you know exactly what you want on your playing...of course you are a Session Legend but when you said...Modes?...I dont need modes...I smiled and had a beer!!....best tip!..Street theory rocks.. by the way I knew about you from Ford Thurstone...and now due pandemia...you are rockin the house and your good lessons...keep the good work amigo...from a Mexican who wants to invite you a good beer....not CORONA ...never!....sorry for my lame english Tomas!
That's some good shit right there! just ordered me a mug. thx!
Morning Tom, hope your doing good and hangin in there man....
Brilliant!
If Rick Beato can do it, you can definitely quit your session job and sit in a studio all day and crank out videos. Your channel has completely dominated my living room "mission control" TV and even my lady enjoys watching them with me. Just love this content, it has already changed my playing style. I am much more conscious of my playing now. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada
Great episode Tom, thanks for your time! 7:40 - so true. Music has really gotten predictable and simple. Nothing wrong with complexity.
"She's So Heavy " is a crazy song. When Lennon does the second solo, and at Two 45 he briefly - briefly - hits the major triad, it blows me away every time!
Thank you
Holy shit man Big Al is my hero! Got snuck into a sold out show and taken out to dinner afterwards by him and his wife, signed my telecaster ashtray. Looking forward to that episode!
just when i think you can't any get cooler, you mention Uncle Larry Reeb. Keep diggin through those synapses sir!
Hi tommy, I sent you some money from berlin.
I watch your lessons from the first day on. Even before that I was aware of you because greg v mentioned your name.it was funny, when your were asked about some other guitarplayers I already knew that you would talk about kenny greenberg. I saw him in 2000 with gary nicholson, reese wynans was on the hammond, michael rhodes on bass and the fabulous chad chromwell on the drums. What a band and what a live experience. I wish I were in town when you‘ve played with pat buchanan . saw the vid on youtube. Very nice with a lot of british influences.
Kenny is THE MAN!!! His solos always tell a story!
Been listening to "The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Girls go wild" these days...man! Jimmy Vaughan is a Badass. The power of stupid maybe 🤷♂️... it's like the force, and Jimmy is Yoda or something.
Ran sound from side stage for Big Al Anderson and the World Famous Headliners at the Key West Songwriters Festival a several years back! He was playing through a super reverb about 3 feet from the mixing board....lol! Crazy ass night for sure, but HE IS THE MAN!!!
Love Big Al! Please do an episode...
Did Tom just nonchalantly drop that he went to Bohemian Grove? What the actual fuck
