- A discussion on bread and some semi-usable sports bar blues licks...filmed yesterday. Solid korina guitar my buddy made for me, with old Dimarzio Super Distortion plugged into an old Gretsch 6161 combo amp.
I'm so glad Rick Beato mentioned this guy in a video. I can't get enough!
Rhett Shull too. ;-)
Yup!
That Pedal Show too!
After watching this I donned my end-of-times mask and ventured to Publix, whereupon I purchased the sacred White Mountain Bread for $2.99. "Tom Bukovac suggested this," I told the cashier, who looked befuddled, but nodded. After returning to my vehicle and thoroughly sanitizing the grocery and myself, I pulled a piece from the sacred White Mountain plastic packaging. I took my first bite. "Praise the Lord" I thought to myself, "Truly some of the finest yeast to grace this green earth." On my way home, I passed by a Food City and said aloud, "Let them eat Wonderbread. Those sorry souls know nothing of the blessings from White Mountain."
Cool blues jam, thanks for the licks.

Poetry. Pure poetry....
I applaud you for this comment . brAVO!
Yes
❤❤
Even The Covidians with their face diapers and disinfectant love Uncle Larry! Make sure you disinfect your guitar neck before you try to emulate Uncle Larry.
at 3 different times in the intro, I thought you were going to stop and I was like man I wish he would keep going and then boom you'd take off again! Loved it.
That intro is some of the most bad ass guitar playing I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of bad ass guitar playing!
the best PRS I've ever heard....mean playing!
I think that’s the sweetest PRS I’ve ever heard,on fire young man.
I love your videos. I was born with one arm and like to think I appreciate guitar players more than the average fan, because I don’t play and electric guitar just punches my soul. I’m a huge blues fan as well. Thank for posting these videos, I enjoy every one and look forward to checking out the lesser known players you mention. Keep on rocking!!!
Can always play the mouth harp. God bless brother.
2 years of listening to your stuff and this is still by far my favorite intro you did out of all your vids... Man it's so great!
Thank you for never ending inspiration Tom!
I love ❤seeing amazing stuff that shows whats possible and at the same time feels impossible for me ! Lol…. But it will up my game , this is right up my alley 👍🏻💪🏻
Normally, people's blues playing makes me wanna throw something but you actually make me wanna play it. Killer stuff.
That intro is as rockin' as anything I've seen in years. I'm glad I discovered you through Guthrie Trapp's channel. Amazing! So much fun.
"I'm definitely a bread connoisseur" [sips his beer]
That was badass.
And thanks Lord for the yeast.
Edit: 12:00 great lick, and surprisingly I can do it. I mean, just the part you teached in slo mo. Thanks man!
I literally laughed out loud when it came up. I had to pause it, I was laughing so hard.
DAAAANG, dude!! You are absolutely right. That pick scrape immediately after the vocal line, "strike that poor boy down! Very quick, very short pick scrape, but so very perfect. Absolutely awesome!
My day just got better. I’m trying to steal 1 thing from each video. They are phenomenal.
Man, that tone reminds so much of Leslie West, early Mountain. Badass stuff today as always, Thank you Tom
Was thinking Leslie West myself -Stormy Monday!
For the love of beer, guitars and all great things. That jam was awesome!!!
Absolutely love that guitar and of course Tom’s playing is incredible.
I'll tell ya man, once my gigging life resumes (and I hope it does soon), I'll be a hell of lot better guitar player because of these homeskoolin videos. so thanks for that man!
Even when you're not showing off you are showing off my brother...I love it when you show us a lick and then take it into light speed. So much to unwrap in this video, could keep me busy for a week or two. Peace, Scott
I remember watching this 2 years ago, Buk is just awesome
Gawd damn. Just revisited this, purely because we all can....first 3 minutes and 18 seconds are some nuggets of greasy-ass, blues fueled GOLD!!!
I stumbled upon this channel, at the beginning of the pandemic....as a player of 28 years...haven't missed an episode so far. The most real world musical value (for me), as anything on the entire internet(!). Full stop.
Well done, sir.
Mercy!🔥
Greatest pick scrape in rock history indeed!!! Such cool stuff here!!
I listened to that intro 5 times, So good,
A lot to unpack in this video! I enjoy so much and helps loosen up my playing.
How the hell did I not hit the "Like" button on this two years ago?!! After two years of Homeschoolin', this is still the most grab-you-by-the-balls intro to a video I've seen! Thanks for moving the music past where you found it, Lightnin'!
Ferocious opening.
The beast is unleashed-excellent!!!
Learn this lick and then you go like this. I love this guy.
Señor Buk, this is an old-ass video, but I too have enquired into the mysteries of the pick scrape (I came up in punk bands where they were obligatory), and allegedly, EVH's secret was to scrape the string(s) with his right hand while fretting a note with the left, either a high note he would then slide down the neck or a low note he'd slide upward. The combination of the pick noise and the moving note gives you that kind of metallic frequency interference you want out of a good yowling scrape. Que Dios te bendiga.
Diggin the Walsh content, his contribution to Dirty Laundry is one of my favs of his
I love that PRS. I have a DGT model , I need a TBT. ( Tom Bukovac tremolo ).
I need one... Don't want one... need one.
Best pick scrape in rock and roll Ted Nugent Stranglehold.. goes on for days
Correct.
Guilty as charged with the sports bar blues. Pride & joy, TURN IT UP!!
Long journey over the last 3 years. Circling back through the catalog to pick up golden gems that I missed now that I've improved cause of your lessons bra. Thanks Man!! Keep up the free lessons baby, no charge for mistakes!!
Holy ****. That intro piece would be a great album opener. Boys and girls, this is what monster feel and in the pocket sounds like.
September 18 2022. Just took a walk down memory lane, and rewatched this video. You hit the ground running with this channel. Great from the start. You're a natural in front of the camera. You ought to try acting. Much respect Uncle Larry...
Paul Gilbert says you gotta use a thin pick to get a good pick scrape. Really enjoying these! Thanks for the tips and the stories!
Hot Sauce Licks Here! Thank you, Uncle Larry.
Tom I swear to God, this is the best guitar channel/set of videos in the net right now. I will pre order every guitar course you`ll make. Price and topic ? Doesn`t matter. It can be about bread as well !!!! Pure value + inspiring as F..k.
BTW. The ladder must stay!
I can see opening your live show with this one!! Amazing!!
Good bread is hard to find, but when you find it, it's priceless!
Mean Street is my desert island VH song. Good shout-out
Man my daughter makes bread and it is the best on the planet. Easy as well. Flour, Yeast, Water and Salt. She mixes that together in a bowl, then lets it sit for 12-24 hrs, Punch it down let it rise again for 2hrs then bake. The time you are working the dough is about 15 mins max, the rest is waiting and cooking. It's called The Miracle Boule out of Laura Calders book French Taste. I LOVE BREAD AND GUITAR... AND BEER AND COFFEE... AND THESE VIDEOS... and our mutual friend CAROLINE DAWN JOHNSON... she had you come play on a demo of ours. Thank you for your artistry my man and theses great lessons.
Uncle Larry has become my favorite TH-camr
The first 3 minutes and 19 seconds - WOW!
Wish I could go back to the days of “Strip Club Blues”? and forget “Sports Bar Blues!”
That frickin' guitar tone is sick...but then so is the guy playing it!
the bible of great licks and performance
I'm a Publix sourdough man myself.
Tom, just an FYI on the White Mountain Bread, they will slice it for you in the bakery...at least they do where I’m at. It is a glorious loaf! Thank you again for the tremendous value you’re providing us here on your channel. Been fun working on this stuff.
Oh man, Lenny Breau. Thank you for mentioning him! Went down the rabbit hole after the Georgia recommendation. What an amazing guitarist, really enjoying his recordings. So lyrical, and harmonically reminds me a lot of Bill Evans, one of my fave piano players.
Words can't even begin to describe how good this god damned bread it. Man... do i know that feeling.
Eddie would only scrape for a few inches over the pickups as I understand. He would really quickly transition to just his left hand sliding down the frets. So it's a pick scrape and hand slide. With his distorted amps it sounds awesome. Pete Thorn explained this one time.
Bread freak here! I wake up and just shove down some bread. Usually with old school Irish butter. That grass fed churned stuff. Yeah the bakery bread is awesome. I’ll get the long skinny bread too I think it’s French.
Yep! Hav'in a hard time too Tom. Ain't it funny how playing the blues gets us in touch with those feelings and knocks the crust right off? Thank you.
No pun intended ;-)
Great stuff!
That's some good tone...good playing too !
10:16 double stop bends. I always saw that more as a Hendrix lick back in 1967, no doubt far earlier blues roots
On a side note, this has literally gotten me out of bed this morning😂😂😂
That is a great pick scrape, but for me the greatest ever is the intro to Here Comes the Night from Bowi’s Pinups album. Ron son was the master of the pick scrape.
Man I’m walking the tracks right now and this sounds so good in the headphones..
Giving away the secrets of the b5! Ultimate blue note.
Hey Uncle Larry! Tom Scholz had some mean pick scrapes, especially with that fucking Rockman Echo Space Machine thing he had.
Publix is that jam on bread ! Got damn son, leave some for the rest of us. LOL Burnin it down.
Baddest-of-ass intro . Love it :D Keep a rollin' peoples
Love that little Johnny rivers into. My name is Marie and I’m from Memphis. Used to think that song was written about me but there’s about a 30 year gap :p
Oh my god I love that greasy goodness. Thank you so much. I owe you big time.
The best thing about watching Tom play is that you can get at least a half a dozen ideas you hadn't thought of before, just by watching him jam for a couple minutes. I literally get noticably better in 10 minutes. And I'm already pretty good. So that's awesome. The trick though, is to retain the ideas, and not loose them to the dust bin of your subconscious. Even then however, the ideas probably do some good. They might come out at some future date, and you'll be able to give yourself credit for them. 😂
My first Joe Walsh eperience was biblical. At the end of The Warriors (movie) the goodies walking along the beach to Joe Walsh's "In the City". Been listening to that track since 1980. In my all time top 5.
I keep re-watching this one... killer blues playing, killer tone... been trying to learn this whole thing. This is the White Mountain Bread of blues and this video is my Publix; I keep coming back.
Bloody grrrreat!!!!!
That intro ... a steady flow of glorious blues riffage!! Bad A
Get rid of those fluorescent lights in your garage. Single coil nightmare! You rock Tom! Thank you!
The rhythmic pulse is what makes this great!!
Townshend is great at pick scrapes. Listen to 'Long Live Rock' and 'Slit Skirts'.
I don't know how many times I muttered "holy f*ck" during this video.
Coolest PRS IVE SEEN 🎉 Paul Reed Jr
Trollin' the past lessons, the first lick is something you come back to in Episode 78, oh and Love the bread, too. Today's GMO gluten though too hard to digest, found a good multigrain at the bakery, I get it day old, half-price, and the only one I can eat without too much re-doughing in the the hard turn in the small intestines... Love the guitar, today! Every day...
Damn! That old Gretsch combo sounds killer
Sooo good,wow!! Tom,i have been watching youtube guitar uploads for a good 10 years now and i can honestly say your playing,your emotion,your touch and tone is second to none.Keep safe dude.
In my opinion, the reason EVH gets the good pick scrapes is because he uses thinner picks like a .60mm. The thinner pick gets into those winds on that low E.
Dang I just love the two string bends, Hendrix also vibed with those! Cheers from Finland
That's exactly where Joe Walsh got it from. That was indeed a Hendrix invention and you can hear it perfectly executed on the long version of Voodoo Child. Cheers from Louisiana P[>
That ripped my wig!!!!!!!
thinner picks can make nasty pick scrapes when you can hear the pick scrape through each wind of the string, or credits cards sound cool too :p Killer series Tom
Yep I'm pretty sure this and using the shoulder of the pick is the secret. EVH used paper thin picks.
I’m learning those tonight. I can’t believe I missed this years ago. Great stuff🤘
I'm way late to this party.....but dayum son that's some ballsy, greasy, sonic histrionics that even the Right Rev BFG would be tapping his toes to. More....please
Brightest of lights in a dark time. Thank you for this series! Cheers from Colorado
Albert King 2 note pull/push cause he was lefty. You’re a beast man!
Love that PRS Cleveland edition. I would love to hear one of your Danocaster guitars someday if you ever get the chance. Also -- props for the Mean Street reference. I first heard that song when I was probably 4 years old and I couldn't understand how he made all those sounds. EVH is one of my kings of rock n' roll swagger-y guitar. Thanks Tom!
Man, that opening shuffle jam thing was fire! Here's an early morning "Fuck Yes!" from the west coast!
That's the best looking PRS I've seen.
And that tone!!! Made me think of classic Leslie West ...Good Stuff
For the record, Ronnie Montrose's pick scrape in "Rock Candy" is pretty bad ass.
Tom, This is your best video yet. I love what you are giving to the world.
That was BASASS!!!!!! An old timer and a fan from Canton. Go Browns! This is the year.
Yes! Amazing bread toasted is one life's greatest gifts!!
....with a great cup of joe.
Amazing!!!!! Just ....WOW!!!
No Birds! Just ROCK
I feel like I should send you a loaf of my sourdough from my own starter as appreciation for these wonderful lessons. Since it's at Ieast a two day process I find it's almost easier more convenient to just keep it going and do one loaf daily.
Tom, I agree about Eddie being the king of pick scrapes (among other things). I think his best is at the end of the "You Really Got Me" solo, after the toggle switch flutter. So epic!!! It sounds like he double tracked the pick scrape. Talk about being committed! Love the channel. This musical vignette was super inspiring. Thanks!
