Rich Williams from the band Kansas played one. I saw Kansas when they were an unknown opening act for a bigger name band and they were incredibly different than anything else I had heard. I was always looking for an L6, Gibson made a big ad campaign to sell them and there was a poster of Williams and his L6 at the music store where I worked. Many years later when I got a chance to play one, it was not quite the religious experience I expected.
@@stringlocker Buy a guitar, get a free belt buckle and a pair of toasters fun fact - Same pickups were used on the T40 and the T60, if nothing else Hartley was a very pragmatic dude
You've changed my life Uncle Larry...really; my musical soul was all dried out; now i'm like a teenager again, picking up the guitar every chance I get, it's amazing....thanks so much;
Radar love got to be in my top three songs of all time. Love your insights into guitar playing and life in general. I’m a builder by trade, made the decision when my fist kid was born to have Mondays off with him. I didn’t work Mondays till both my kids were at school, best decision I ever made. I’ve said all that to say this, how you talk about your boys is so wonderful when they have their own kids they’ll remember the memories you made with them 💪🏽 keep up keeping up 👌🏽
Way back when Genesis did their first American tour, the radio stations in Oklahoma City, where I come from, had a hard time giving tickets away to their concert cause no one knew who they were, including me. Since I'm a player and lover of music I got a free ticket to check this band out. The hall was almost empty.... They were doing all their theatrical shit while playing their tunes and I thought they were OK but my main attention was focused on the drummer. He was, by far, the best drummer I have ever seen at the time with one serious groove. He played double bass drums and his feet never touched the ground thru the whole concert......... Killer drummer....! Big Respect for Phil Collins.......
Hey Tom, I could not agree more with you opinion of the Sessionman guitar. I like to say it plays itself but it is, hands down, the best tone I've ever had in a any setting. My only complaint is that I don't leave it out enough. If I did, I would never play any of my other guitars. I also agree about the "school is too early" comment. As a school teacher for 31 years, I was always pushing for school to start later and might have been instrumental in making our PM school more successful than the day school. That's right, after Blue Oyster Cult I became a public school teacher. I just retired 5 years ago to play music full time and watch Homeskoolin' vids to start my day, which is NOON.
Agree on the 4001 bass, drips cool and sound amazing… that’s why I bought one!! Love your videos!! Oh and Dennis Elliott… amazing. The fills across time in Cold as Ice are simply awesome!!!
Uncle larry-your description and demo of how you do your arrangements and how frickin easy it is for you is why we love and respect you. Master. Total master. The chords, moe! The chords!
My Dad quit the band we were in because of Sweet Caroline. True Story. He was tired of playing it for 50+ years and when they forced it into the repertoire, he was like "Fu*k This noise" Underrated drummer: Alex Van Halen
Man How did I miss favorite drummers - there are so many - when people ask me I start with the 3 Steve's (Ferrone, Gadd, and Jordan) and Vinnie and Jim Gordon and Kim Keltner - and of the YES/ King Crimson drummers Bill Bruford (I read his book) and most underrated Mark Craney - Gino Vanelli Jethro Tull - oh yeah and then Ansley Dunbar and Kenny Buttrey and Shannon Forrest, Nick Buda,...
So happy to hear you give Dennis Elliot some love! Like you said, great pocket and great feel! And even though Alex Van Halen gets credit, I feel he doesn't get MORE credit for his swing, for his feel and how he drove a GROOVE! PS...love running into Lou Gramm here locally in ol' Rochester, NY. Try not to bother him at our local grocery store, but on the occasion where I can avoid imposing on his day and giving him a big THANKS for his legacy and work, he is always humble and very kind. Love the Black Sheep album too!
I always think about Jim Gordon, and all his great recordings.. Especially on Derek and the Dominos "Little Wing"... He sounded like thunder on that one.. And... having grown up with the Beatles.. I still think J.L.'s Rickenbacker 325 is the coolest looking guitar that ever lived...
As an educator for 22 years, I agree with you and many others. School starts way too early. We do a grave disservice to our students with early start times.
I learn so much from your sharing. It’s also nice to hear my quiet observations and thoughts on guitar confirmed by your expertise. Jeez this is a boring comment sorry.
I recently discovered your channel a couple months ago. Thank you so much for all that you share with us Tom! I'm a happier human for it. I had been ready to purchase a new electric for a while now. I had my eye on a Collings electric but couldn't get my head wrapped around dropping that much cash. Just wasn't sure what I wanted. Then you mentioned in a past video what modern guitar you would buy and brought out your Duesenberg. I hadn't heard of the company before but after that video, that's all it took. I was sold. I purchased a black Starplayer TV Deluxe a few weeks ago and I'm in just absolute heaven. Can't thank you enough for the enlightenment! Huge respect for you brother! Rock on!
I love playing guitar like I'm a pianist or including as many cool bits from an arrangement. It got me a brunch gig and that was my favorite gig -7 years of Sunday mornings.
i missed more days than I was there my last year...no i didnt graduate but picked up my GED later and then got 3 years university then went into business and become a millionaire....then got married then lost everything now i am broke but starting up a new business online this time so i can travel and make money - i'll be fine. Life is full of lessons lol unfortunately it's like laying tiles on your kitchen floor, by the time your finished you know what you are doing...but the work is completed.
Tom, I can not express enough how much I appreciate these small lessons you do. I've learned so much from you these last few years. It really changed my playing. Just wanted to say thanks. Oh, btw, would you consider making like a playlist of music you love, and that is important to you? Cheers
Hard to believe it's been 2 + years listening to your show! It was cool from the start and is still my favorite go-to TH-cam channel. Thank you Uncle Larry!!! Your playing is superb, melody making is awesome and the simple chatting about things is so cool. Thanks for them all - they all rock! And for those of you who haven't seen the first few episodes of Home Skoolin' - check out episode 21. It's still one of my favorite episodes from the ol' garage. Keep on keeping on U.L.!
Rock's greatest obscure drummer, Fast Eddie Hoh: Donovan (eg Season of the Witch), Bloomfield Super Sessions, Tim Buckley (Goodbye and Hello), The Monkees (eg Daydream Believer), Mama's and Papa's at Monterey 1967, etc. His brilliant career ended in 1970 after drugs wrecked him.
I had an L6S, all maple, Varitone switch, high-output humbuckers. I wanted a Les Paul, but that's what I wound up with. Actually played OK and sounded decent, but I traded it and have never looked back in remorse.
Yeah Tom, very true about Foreigner/Dennis Elliot. Also, my first electric guitar when I was 12 was a blond woodgrain Gibson L6S from Music Manor. My poor father, who knew nothing about guitars, was probably talked into it by a salesman at the store who had it hanging on the wall for six months. It was unique in so many good and bad ways, mostly bad. 24 tiny frets. The 6 way switch. Broomstick neck. It looked like a smooshed Les Paul that got run over by a Mack truck. Al Dimeola played one. So did Santana.
I’ve always had folks ask me why I always listen to music with no lyrics. My wife at first couldn’t understand it either. I would listen to plexi soul and she’d always bitch because it had no lyrics. She’d ask why I listen to it, if there’s no lyrics. I’d say “he said everything he needed to with his guitar”. after filling her head with your music and taking her to your show she finally understood. You’re a talented fella, Larry!
Thanks for the lesson, Uncle Larry! I always pick up something new when I watch your channel. Sometimes its guitar, sometimes its life advice. Old bull.....
Teacher here and your correct that numerous studies have shown that students, especially high school aged, learn better with a later start time. The school I teach at starts at 9AM because of that. Also, that’s the best sounding Kay I’ve ever heard.
Glenn Kotche with Wilco is a pretty amazing drummer! Just want to say thank you for continuing Home Skoolin’, you have provided a lifetime worth of nuggets that have made me a better guitar player and you always slip something in that brings a smile to my face. I love too that you have kept the production simple, your iPhone works just fine for recording.
This episode was FULL of inspiration and a humble look into your wonderful creative process, thank you for this Larry! I wish I could text with my friends about foreigner and they didn’t immediately block me.
Uncle Larry, I heard you talking about your love of Bill Brewford's drums! Man, he is so good!I just watched Yes Sounding Out BBC documentary.They were like the greatest band on earth in 71!So amazing!
I get off work and come home,cut on the Tv and it is the same ole shit, and then I see uncle Larry dropped a video and hot damn cant click on it fast enough, Best F*****g hang on You tube ! Thanks again Unk, I needed that.
I really like your use of chord extensions. It makes way more sense than learning to be a complete jazz guy. Some of that stuff is like a wet blanket. I like extensions cuz they brighten things up.
Yep I thoroughly enjoy the shows bud, they allways remind me to thank the lord you only have 5 fingers on your hands, although I still count them now and again. 😂😂😂🏴👍👍🥃Respect to you mate
Perfect timing Uncle Larry! I’ve been binging past episodes this morning while I alternate between playing guitar and trying (and failing) to get schoolwork done. Thanks for all the great wisdom and riffage!
Taking inspiration from the drummer conversation, I've been practicing with a few drums only records. Nate Smiths "Pocket Change" and the first two tracks from the self-titled Niagra record have been super fun to improv to and keep me rhythm acountable when improvising. Great videos as always, thanks for keeping me inspired!
ouch -- was literally just playing my 70's L6S Deluxe (natural finish), really digging it as a jazz instrument, right before I watched this video. And honestly, I was looking at it thinking this is one of the sleekest, coolest looking guitars I've seen. A minimal look, but well designed.
School days?? My mom taught Johnny Winter in high school English and I asked her what kind of student he was....She said it was hard to say because he was never there, and on the occasions when he did show up, he slept most of the time. Same deal, he was out gigging every night at the local clubs.
Argh, what is that tune at 5:40? It's driving me nuts. Not sure how much they differ from the L6S, but I loved those sunburst L5S's. About a year ago, I finally got a chance to play one, and it was the heaviest guitar I've ever held except for maybe a Fender Elite. Extinguished that fire right out. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your uploads. Haven't looked forward to programming this much since Saturday afternoon's Chiller Theater in the 1970's.
Man that's me! I try to incorporate major melodies with the rhythm when I play by myself. I just hear songs that way. It made some things really hard to learn and caused some bad habits at first. Now it's a major bonus!
There is a book I read called the Teenage Brain and she talks about that exactly. Melatonin sets in later for young developing brains and recedes later in the morning as well. This explains why kids can’t go to sleep and why they can’t get out of bed. I was right to hate my aunt when she kept telling me to go to bed!!!!
Ziggy seems cool and his art demonstrates he "gets" the Homeskoolin' thing. I happily bought the 100th episode poster and had it framed for way more than the poster cost.

You know how you have some pedals which are reliably good no matter the amp? The Session Man is like that. If I'm trying to just work something out and not plug in while doing it, that's the guitar I always reach for. It always sounds good, even unplugged, and is the easiest one to learn on. For me.

The riff at the beginning of "Feels Like The First Time" is one of the most challenging riffs to play well ever. Foreigner is way better than anyone remembers!
Yes, I totally agree on the Rickenbacker bass thing: Chris Squire, the look and the sound...I always loved his bass sound with the pick. Every time I heard that sound I wanted to be a bass player... btw: I got my Ann Wilson album yesterday: love it, great songs, beautiful guitar work, a great production in every aspect. Plus the artwork of Roger Dean! Love it.
Beautiful song and beautiful harmonics . That poster ain’t going in my garage! I’m framing it and putting it in my front room !!! My house is a guitar session home !!🎸🎸⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🎤🪕🛸🛸🛸🎶🎶
I played a L6S a couple of years during the seventies. Carlos Santana was my hero then and he played one.
Sorry bro…hopefully there are no photos of it
I think Peavey used the L6 as a model
The Peavey T-60 an absolute clunker of a guitar.
Rich Williams from the band Kansas played one. I saw Kansas when they were an unknown opening act for a bigger name band and they were incredibly different than anything else I had heard.

I couldn’t agree more. What a great thing to say.
Cool looking guitar: Recently i saw a photo of a 64 Firebird VII. Man, what a beauty ✌🏼
Most underrated drummer is Jerry Gaskill of King's X, which is also the most underrated band.

This old Harmony sounds so pleasingly normal...I like it a lot!
Hah - it´s that old Kay, not the Harmony...sorry
The harmonics at 2:29 👌🏼

Speaking of beauty, that Kay headstock is awesome.

One of the coolest things about your videos is how unexpected things always pop up. I was struck speechless when you riffed Manic Mechanic.

I enjoyed that jam at the intro. Could listen to that all day long
(For me) finally confirmation that you already know about the amazing Scott Baxendale conversions!!!

Nice Uncle Lar
dan huff! what an incredible body of work he has over the years! gotta be fun playing with him in the room!
as for drummers...jeff procaro?
Jeff is my #1
The guitar player in that band, some guy named Steve Lukather ain't too bad either.....😃
Those harmonics were sick
I love the look of an old Gretsch double jet.

that Gibson upside V is pretty heinous

Another lesson full of gems around every corner. Thanks!

Check out Nate's work on that tiny kit in the first Fearless Flyers video.
ouch -- was literally just playing my 70's L6S Deluxe (natural finish), really digging it as a jazz instrument, right before I watched this video. And honestly, I was looking at it thinking this is one of the sleekest, coolest looking guitars I've seen. A minimal look, but well designed.
watching the video again now. WOW !

Love that little ZZ Top lick!!
Good reason to be proud. The sessionman is a GREAT guitar!

Hey Tom. Thanks for all the great videos. Keep inspiring us.

School days?? My mom taught Johnny Winter in high school English and I asked her what kind of student he was....She said it was hard to say because he was never there, and on the occasions when he did show up, he slept most of the time. Same deal, he was out gigging every night at the local clubs.
Argh, what is that tune at 5:40? It's driving me nuts.
Not sure how much they differ from the L6S, but I loved those sunburst L5S's. About a year ago, I finally got a chance to play one, and it was the heaviest guitar I've ever held except for maybe a Fender Elite. Extinguished that fire right out.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your uploads. Haven't looked forward to programming this much since Saturday afternoon's Chiller Theater in the 1970's.

Ziggy seems cool and his art demonstrates he "gets" the Homeskoolin' thing. I happily bought the 100th episode poster and had it framed for way more than the poster cost. Also bought the Session Man Duesenberg and play it almost every day. It's so good. Feels good, sounds good, is incredibly versatile. You know how you have some pedals which are reliably good no matter the amp? The Session Man is like that. If I'm trying to just work something out and not plug in while doing it, that's the guitar I always reach for. It always sounds good, even unplugged, and is the easiest one to learn on. For me.
that last 3 note chord trick has gotten me so much mileage, one of my absolute go to's. I learned it from the book "three note voicings and beyond" by Randy Vincent some years back. great way to flip the guitar over and get different in the mix.

Thanks Uncle Larry for another entertaining video. Still laughing about the bad drawing of a Les Paul comment.
your playing and that guitar sound so warm and good
The riff at the beginning of "Feels Like The First Time" is one of the most challenging riffs to play well ever. Foreigner is way better than anyone remembers!
Yes, I totally agree on the Rickenbacker bass thing: Chris Squire, the look and the sound...I always loved his bass sound with the pick. Every time I heard that sound I wanted to be a bass player... btw: I got my Ann Wilson album yesterday: love it, great songs, beautiful guitar work, a great production in every aspect. Plus the artwork of Roger Dean! Love it.
Tom thank you so much for this. We have had some hard times with my wife losing her job and music is getting me through.
Beautiful song and beautiful harmonics .

Top shelf once again.
Some people were just born to play the guitar and you're in that category
Makes total sense. Great explanation.
