I rarely write comments, but this podcast is one of the best I've heard in a long time. This podcast contains wisdom and advice not just for musicians, but for anyone in any profession. No matter how old you are - listen to this podcast and you will learn more than you would in a university course.😎
At 14 I auditioned for and got into my first ‘real’ band with a bunch of college and older kids… I got the gig, which meant playing bars, sororities, frats, etc… God bless my dad, he worked so hard… 50-60hrs a week… He was so supportive of my passion for music even tho I’m adopted and he was the least musical guy I ever met, but he also didn’t want me out til 3AM on a Tuesday unsupervised… At first lol. So he’d drive me to the show, get me in, etc and did that the first few times, but getting home at 3-4AM from Chapel Hill smelling like smoke and beer, to get up At 5-6AM was too much. He coulda justifiably gone the other way and shut it down… but he didn’t…. So, from that point on, ‘raised by wolves’ was as the perfect description lol. Thanks for letting me do that pops, best times of my life… RIP…
@@KennethMoyer-t3y Yeah he was!!! I try to be as good of one for my kids as he was for me… still hard, but much easier with a good example! Never missed anyone as much as I miss that guy… every day… and it’s been 17 years.
Where ever Tom goes, he steals the show, our favorite story teller, a walking encyclopedia of the music industry and everything guitar, thanks for having him, you get an automatic sub, great show.
Uncle Larry has the heart and soul we musicians love. Hes a craftsman that knows his role and can pull it off, no matter what it is. Great guy too, a good hang
So right Tom. It’s not difficult to shine in this ever complacent world. I tell my grand children this all the time. Smile and ask what can I do for you. Turn up early. Don’t leave early. Show initiative. It’s not hard to stand out.
A lot of the things said in this dialog resonated with my experiences in music. Playing with people who were just phoning it in made me take several breaks from the industry. Making music is too sacred. Writing songs is hard; respect the writer. Respect the song-every single bar. What you are getting paid should not be part of the equation. Show respect to the people you are playing with.
It is so inspiring to hear stories in the struggle of life. Being an old timer now, I feel the joy of the successes, and defeat of failure Uncle touches on. Wisdom has it's price and it's rewards. We should all pass the wisdom we have paid for along. Larry really does pass it on. I need to buy Larry a beer before I move on from this place.
Uncle Larry is describing confidence. How does a young person best get the confidence they need to do the best they can IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. Not worrying about getting better before trying to shine. Uncle Larry’s confidence advice for doing one’s best in the present moment could help in anything a younger person does. Hardest advice to give which can make the most difference.
This interview completely explains why Uncle Larry's musicial vocabulary and breadth of musical taste is so immense - he grew up in the lion's den as a youth and that is something that school will not teach you. Then again, maybe since we have had very, very similar upbringings I'm partially bias on this notion. But lets face it, music schooling is a con that really offers so little once you find yourself in the trenches. Thanks for digging in the dirt on this one Miles.
Your conversation around 18:00 regarding playing something that the producer or another player doesn’t dig and then agreeing and changing it slightly, reminds me of the “producer switch” story I heard somewhere, years ago. I don’t recall the player, what to say he was a bass player and he had a dummy toggle switch on his bass that made a loud *click* but did absolutely nothing. He said when a producer was micro managing his playing and wanting him take take some muds out or make some other tonal change, he’d agree and flip the switch. Then He might just go a smidge lighter or stronger with his picking or thumping and sole back to the control room. Generally he’d get a big thumbs up from the picky bastard who wanted the change. Totally cracks me up.
Been playing for 30 years, and I’m starting lessons for the first time. I want to start giving lessons, and help one of my kids get into recording. Moved to Nashville 17 years ago in a band, and of course school and work got in the way. Hoping to get back to it later in life.
My kids hear me talking about this ALL time. The mantra I try the hardest to instill boils down to: “Show up. Don’t be a dick”. I realize there’s more nuance that can goes with that. So….… I can’t play this in my class…. But I can sure share it with the ones that will “get it”! THANK you for this priceless interrogation of our beloved Uncle. Thanks for this.
What a life Tom but it all makes sense why you're so good with guitar. This is great because nobody especially famous people don't talk about themselves like this, good stuff Tom.
Very interesting, and insightful, as usual w/Uncle Larry! At 71, the important thing that I've learned is when not to play. A small fill/string part, or non at all, can be just as important, and contribute as much as filling every single sonic space available. IMHO, some of the newer stuff is over-played on. Again, JMHO. Peace --gary
I teach a high school automotive program and this is going to be part of my orientation piece this year. Such great insight into how putting in the work can get you where you want to be. Thanks guys!
Really interesting conversation! I've only played in studios with my own bands and in those situations, I feel like it's okay to express excitement when things are going well, but I've never considered the idea of showing restraint, while also being confident in what you're playing, WHILE ALSO being open minded enough to change what you're doing to better fit the vibe. Really interesting perspective. And Tom is such a gem. He's quickly become one of my favorite players and humans over the last couple years. Thanks for sharing man, cheers!
Agreed. With bandmates, I se the tone up front. We’re going to have fun, but every decision we make is solely based on what’s best for the song. No critique is personal. Letting go of ego is essential. I was in a situation last month where a pianist was overplaying…and I just said, “What are you hearing from the guitar?” He said, “Try playing off the vocal melody…”. This, in turn, had him become more vested in the guitar and he backed off the piano to make room.
Damn. This is like life at my kitchen table in Nashville. Love this. Demos are a source of aggravation here. The "mowing over of good songs at demo sessions" is a painful but necessary topic.
Best advice ever, for any creative professional who works in collaborative environments. At 56 I still try to bring that youthful energy and “can do” spirit to every gig. I try to mentor young up & comers as well.
Man... Just listened to the entire episode. I fucking loved it! Just excellent. So much insight and extremely valuable experience shared. Don't know that I'll ever make it the short distance from my city to a Nashville session. But these are important lessons for any session I'm playing here in town. Thank you both for this video.
Great conversation - I think in every profession there is a danger that the love and magic have just evaporated and routine professional moves compensate and hide the lack of spirit. The danger of being good is that one takes stuff for granted because it will always be ok but Tom is the kind of guy who knows every day is another trial - even if you handle it with total cool.
The first minute of this interview reminds me of a recent interaction with Joey Landreth. A few years ago, he and I exchanged a couple of pedals. Our discussion before the trade was via text; it was informative and entertaining. Fast forward a year: Joey’s band plays in my city and I go to see him. After the show, he appears out of nowhere, next to me, smiling. I’m taken aback and I stammer out a greeting. My wife, who is standing next to me, smiles and says: “Awww…how sweet! A grown man with a school girl crush!” That’s my roundabout way of saying stick with it; the first minute is not representative of the rest of this discussion.
Reminds me of hitting my first professional home run. Played it off cool. Then hit #2 in the same inning…and admired it a bit too long. Both were special to me, but only the second was special to the team so we could all have a bit of fun with it. Act like you’ve been there, and you’ll know when the room thinks you’ve all hit on something special.
Can I ask; is it wrong to say, "You guys sound great"? I always do that. When it comes to not teasing a part if you are a drummer, it seems that the Bass Player would like to know🙂
Great topic, "The Mediocrity Of Today" as a man of the trades I see so much slackery these days it's become stratus quo in all facets of life, no one seems to have pride in anything they do. Sometimes it is frustrating and even sad to witness.
Man, what an amazing education! I always thought it was enough to just "serve the song" and not overplay. I had no idea about the nuances of everything you could do right or wrong. Thank you gentlemen!
Thank you for this upload. I love listening to the inner workings of what you guys do for a living. I love playing music for people in a live setting but I don't record or do studio work. I'm glad this format is less "interview" and more of a conversation amongst piers. Your collaborative insights and observations mixed with wisdom of experience is exactly what I am into. Thanks for this! I've been a Homeskooler for a little over a year and I've now subscribed to this channel. I'm here to support!!
I must say, it seems like the hardest part of being a session player is never the actual playing. The playing sounds like the easy part. The hard part? It sounds like a huge psychological minefield of subtle interpersonal, touchy interactions-- most of which, no matter how seemingly small or insignificant, can cause huge rifts, problems or consequential negative ripple effects. A tough gig to be sure. Fascinating discussion.
This fellow is impossible not to like, a bromance isn't a stretch, if Tom Bukovac does not make u smile in the first 3 minutes you are dead. Makes it talk isn't right, sing, Bukovac makes guitars SING! That IS rare. The bee's knees, lizard's gizzards, duck's nuts of a maestro, unassuming fair as the day is long fascinating to the point funny decent as down to Earth as REAL as they make 'em. The Newtonian Seat of Quantum Guitarcheology. I HANG ON EVERY WORD this musician among musicians says - u can't possibly begin to grossly & severely deliberately overestimate the encyclopaedic warlockery knowledge brilliant beyond belief, the outrageous Gandalf-esque musical intelligence of the fella... deadly as bra. Bloody be butcher baker candlestick maker ALL can learn a thing or 2 - here & now. Generously candid comical critical able to laugh deadpan cry at the gamut of music & what music REALLY is, what it MEANS. In garden-variety pass the pub test no bullsh*t upright downright too bloody right manner the radiation of this bloke is a new element for the periodic f*ckin' table, the steely pull push & magical mesmeric magnetism of Buk is Betz Sphere stuff - off-the-f*cking-charts 📈.. stop it! rare as a 'Round Tuit' with next to Buckley's toppin' this. Ear-candy eye-opening eye-watering 'Old Bull & Young Bull atop the hill...' lesson told to Tom, told most hilariously to we lucky listeners by Tom is wild worldly wise wicked wtf what genius! bwaaahahahaaa. just. stop. it. All notice immediately Tom's virtuoso FEEL whenever he plays. Buk is way friggin' too cool for school - this bloke is dead-set so cool when it's hotter than the hobs of hell the tarmac melts to ya thongs sweatin' big-time super stinkin' hot so fair-dinkum true hot that the dogs they chase the trees 'round & the trees chase Tom Bukovac 'round.. true. We admire any fella young fella old fella clever fella who leaves us all in his cool shade - deadly. 🦘Didyabringyabongalong Station🤘Central QLD🪃Australia🎸 thanx 4this magic fellas🤯 If Tom is talkin' guitarists musicians don't stfu & play their guitars, they stfu & listen.. then kill it! Thanx zillions for the hen's teeth, bottled unicorn farts & leprechaun's rockinghorses sh*t.. wow.
Bass players need to be in the right place in the pocket. Put yourself in the place of the songwriter who comes up with the creative ideas before you start ripping the songwriter to shreds! A lot of know how was shown in this video - It's seem to be a more pleasant environment than some places I have worked: cruise lines, playing shows for a living.
@@studiomusicianacademy6607 You are welcome! A lot of very useful information is being shown during this video. I can play free studio gigs on Bass with transportation but if it's a couple of months ahead I can pay for that.
I jam every week with 10 year older great players. I have played for 4 years, the other guys for 40 years, Iam learning a lot and fast. It is the best thing that exists, pure magic. They have the patience and i try my very best always, every lick every chord. Just try to make it sound the best at your level.
The secret in plain sight is the number of takes the average 'classic recording' involved, you might think they roll out smooth, beautifully placed music easily, but you don't realize just how many 'takes' this requires, like dozens, and dozens - sometimes spliced together and parts taken from 20 takes, this is one of those truths. Uncle Larry is the authentic article.
I rarely write comments, but this podcast is one of the best I've heard in a long time. This podcast contains wisdom and advice not just for musicians, but for anyone in any profession. No matter how old you are - listen to this podcast and you will learn more than you would in a university course.😎
Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Tom is just a genuine talent and human being.
Dear Interviewer, let the guest speak. You didn’t do that. It’s like you had a little bump before you started 😂
At 14 I auditioned for and got into my first ‘real’ band with a bunch of college and older kids… I got the gig, which meant playing bars, sororities, frats, etc… God bless my dad, he worked so hard… 50-60hrs a week… He was so supportive of my passion for music even tho I’m adopted and he was the least musical guy I ever met, but he also didn’t want me out til 3AM on a Tuesday unsupervised… At first lol.

Tom Bukovac is one of the most interesting musicians on TH-cam . His insights are fascinating .
Is the most interesting musician on Earth, it's impossible not to like him immensely, unless you are dead.
Uncle Larry has the heart and soul we musicians love. Hes a craftsman that knows his role and can pull it off, no matter what it is. Great guy too, a good hang
Just left this mornings Homeskoolin’ class and this popped up. Let’s go!
Love to hear that!
Tom was no accident. We'll have to tell his Mom when we get to heaven!
So right Tom. It’s not difficult to shine in this ever complacent world. I tell my grand children this all the time. Smile and ask what can I do for you. Turn up early. Don’t leave early. Show initiative. It’s not hard to stand out.
Not in the music industry but I feel there are so many pearls of wisdom for any sort of work here.

Is there a Part 2? Tom’s toe underscoring the Marshal logo is the cherry on top. 🍒
There’s not a part 2 yet… but we have plenty more episodes with other players!
Tom Bukovac is the coolest MF'r on the planet! Always so laid back and willing to share all the secrets.
Not only was the conversation interesting, but the flow of this was so natural. You've got my sub man.
Thanks for the kind words Nate! Glad to have you here!
Thought the same. It's interesting to read differing opinions on the conversation here. I really enjoyed it.
This is awesome. Love the convo. Tom has reached legend status.
Amen 🙏
Thanks for the support!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing Joe!
This is the shit. Freakin beautiful.

Hope to see more .
Nice interview! May want to rethink the shorts next time. 😂

Thank you Sam! Glad to hear that!

The grey area Tom touched on was summed up with an Isbell lyric
Time between the glory days and the golden years
You never know the demo take might become close to the master. Tom is a true artist he has dedication to make the track the best possible track.
High pitched tone through out video tuffed it out for Tom but Jesus
Love his definition of getting away from music is… opening a music store. Uncle Larry is an American treasure. 🇺🇸 🎸 🎵 🎙
Beautiful!!! 🎸❤🔥✍🏻
First Tom interview I’ve ever bailed on.
Yes! Thank You!
Thanks for watching James!
That was so good......Couldnt stop watching........
Thanks Bob! Glad to hear your enjoyed it! Hope you have a chance to check out the rest of the series!
my favorite handsome uncle, little tommy, standing out as a wonderful human man. YEAH!
Love the insider tips and pet peeves and stuff. This is the stuff where you normally have to learn the hard way so these are some 💎💎💎
Thanks for the feedback!
to the guy slouching in the chair, u had Tom intro himself,,, qualify urself pls.
Thank you, guys. Great conversation.
I wish this wealth of info had been this easily accessible when I was a young man first picking up a guitar.

42:16 "I'm starting to get really excited about being wrong" is brilliant. Deep fucking genius thought.
That’s a powerful statement for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Class !
Thanks gentlemen
" It's so easy to shine". Now that's a line/hook.
Absolutely loved this conversation. Great insights into what the creative players deal with.
Thanks for the kind words!

My brother was a lot older than me. He was an ironworker and muscle for the mafia guy down the street. The mafia guy co-signed for my first fender.
Can I ask; is it wrong to say, "You guys sound great"? I always do that. When it comes to not teasing a part if you are a drummer, it seems that the Bass Player would like to know🙂
@@dynamicalan we’d say, authentic compliments are always appreciated!

As a songwriter
I go into with 90 % done. The rest is magic.
My eyes drawn back and forth: Orange-Mesa Boogie. Awesome stuff as usual from uncle Larry🤘🏼
Ha ha - me too. That cab as well.
GREAT discussion.....thanks
Thanks for watching!
A song is a song. No one will ever know if it's any good. Until someone says it is. Don't fall for it. Music is chemistry and magic.
There is nothing a child will learn faster than a song.
and it's not really ever finished... but you have to finish.
I must say, it seems like the hardest part of being a session player is never the actual playing. The playing sounds like the easy part. The hard part? It sounds like a huge psychological minefield of subtle interpersonal, touchy interactions-- most of which, no matter how seemingly small or insignificant, can cause huge rifts, problems or consequential negative ripple effects. A tough gig to be sure. Fascinating discussion.
Great takeaway! Thanks for watching!
Pretty sure you just described going to work in most jobs.
If Tom is “just above average” I’m Allan Holdsworth…..

Bass players need to be in the right place in the pocket. Put yourself in the place of the songwriter who comes up with the creative ideas before you start ripping the songwriter to shreds! A lot of know how was shown in this video - It's seem to be a more pleasant environment than some places I have worked: cruise lines, playing shows for a living.
@@dynamicalan Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
@@studiomusicianacademy6607 You are welcome! A lot of very useful information is being shown during this video. I can play free studio gigs on Bass with transportation but if it's a couple of months ahead I can pay for that.

All this knowledge is,GOLD….
Tom is super cool and thoughtful.
I jam every week with 10 year older great players. I have played for 4 years, the other guys for 40 years, Iam learning a lot and fast. It is the best thing that exists, pure magic. They have the patience and i try my very best always, every lick every chord. Just try to make it sound the best at your level.
you will go far with a great mindset like that 🙂✌
Rock on Jonas!

The secret in plain sight is the number of takes the average 'classic recording' involved, you might think they roll out smooth, beautifully placed music easily, but you don't realize just how many 'takes' this requires, like dozens, and dozens - sometimes spliced together and parts taken from 20 takes, this is one of those truths. Uncle Larry is the authentic article.
