Just the fact that you would take time to do this to help out a complete stranger tells folks all they need to know about you as a person. Well done, brother 👏
l love "morning Tom". Reminds me of the early days of covid when Tom was there everyday with some new tips and viewer bin comments. Great Barracuda lesson. Love the graphic tips. And the "wangulator".
I love watching Pro's learn other pro's stuff, and realize we all struggle. Warts and all, great lesson Uncle Larry, and I have no desire to play this and stuck around.
Still lovin the Homeskoolin for over a year now. I met Thurman and his dad at the woodshedguitarexperience last August. Very nice folks and Thurman is a really nice and polite kid with a ton of talent. I think it's really special you gave him this shout out and this lesson for him (and us). Great job Mr. B
What a fantastic video! It’s like being tutored by a master. What a great gift to the guy practicing for his audition! Thank you again Tom for all that you give away here. I feel like I’m sitting in the kitchen with you while you play.
The “easy” stuff is what kills me every time man… all on the details. Wasn’t trying to learn this tune today but I welcome the less Tom, always the best stuff!
Always liked older Heart but never figured out anything (except "Love Alive" years and years ago). Really makes me appreciate these parts a heck of a lot more. Thank you as always for your posts.
Love this kind of video were you breakdown a riff or a solo and analyse the different parts and gives us insight what makes it sound like the record. With your many years of experience they are priceless and help me as a newer guitar player to progress and find inspiration to play. Thanks teach👌
Our cover band plays this and there are few times where we really nail it, but when you do it sounds great. The guitar opens the tune and sets the tempo and if you start too fast it becomes infinitely more difficult to play. I knew I would be playing some of these parts wrong, but was actually surprised at how much was right. Thanks for this vid, we are playing this tomorrow and I am definitely going to put this to use today to nail some of these parts, I already picked up the guit and tuned to your tuning. Very much appreciated.
Even a 7am on the first cup 'o coffee the man still plays his ass off. And the quotable one liners are strong as well! RESPECT. Remember kids, don't abuse that hole!
That was awesome and brought back a lot of memories. I loved the original lineup of that band when I was a kid. I played this tune in a cover band on the road back in the early 80's. I found the "alien spaceship" sound accidentally. I went into the backline "danger zone" with an Electric Mistress, OD and Echoplex engaged for traditional feedback during the "psychedelic" section of this tune. Due to the stage setup that night, my guitar got much closer to the heads than normal and those weird, alien, feedback-ish sounds started swirling around. It turned out to be the output transformer's windings in my heads interacting with my guitar's pickup. I could manipulate the pitch slightly and it was identical to those sounds in the original recording. Everyone in the band freaked and I got to play it off like I knew exactly what I was doing.
I learned this song a very long time ago and I’m still figuring things out. It’s the song that keeps on giving. Thanks for your insights Uncle Larry. I’ve got more work to do and I’m looking forward to it.
I was watching a TH-cam clip on the 1978 "Cal Jam II" outdoor show and the Heart segment has a pretty good rendition of their Barracuda tune. The sound quality is not very good, but it does capture the essence of that number. And BOY, as an aside, i forgot just how absolutely BEEEEUTIFUL the Heart girls were. That Ann Wilson can just belt out the most fabulous vocals, and the thing is, many years later she still sounds pretty much the same. What a great band they were.
I saw Heart back in the day. I remember Ann coming out singing a Zeppelin tune. Wow, I was gobsmacked. The early days of Heart were something to behold.
Yeah man, saw them in Baton Rouge 1979 (they looked like a deck of cards), then again in '82 just after their big hits era began. It was like 2 different bands. And yes, they always covered some Zep as an encore or so...
Doctor, amazing how you can here bits of a classic song and then be compelled to hear the whole song. Agree on Roger Fisher...great parts in all the Heart stuff. Appreciated!
OMG! That Dusenberg! That's your signature model (apologies if I missed earlier episodes about it...busy). But it's so awesome that a fellow Clevelander has achieved such status in the guitar community. But damn, that guitar!
Wow!, Uncle Larry, thanks so much for letting us see inside how you approach an iconic tune! There is always a choice nugget in every video you post, whether something musical, or maybe more importantly, something that is just honest humanity.
Awesome…excellent tips! My buddy Ryan Waters played with Nancy Wilson on her side projects and on the last Heart tour and I know he can dig the learning process for that one tune!
"It's kinda like mayonnaise, man. Just a little bit goes a long way." -- I'm sorry, but I can tolerate a lot of adverse opinions, but NOBODY can suggest that anything other than full-on mayo is acceptable!!! 😂 Love ya, brother. ❤️
Uncle Larry says words like "tricky" and "hard" Im stuck being happy with the unintentional " I'm sure" innuendo, "Don't abuse that hole" or the Wang bar! 😁👍 awsome as per usual!
Hey Tom, As I get older, I am struck at how many of the tunes that are just burned into our psyche were so innovative. We take so much for granted that those pioneers invented. I could not think of another tune prior to this one where those harmonics were used to musically and prominently... then not long after everybody and their uncle was using them like EVH diving with those whammys... or even the gallop itself... there were not many tunes doing that... then it is about 2/3 of Iron Maiden's catalog. Very cool to get to eavesdrop on you deconstructing this... made me appreciate it more. Side note, my brother owned a bass owned by the player on the original tune. Take care.
Hi Uncle Larry. Ok, so I get down on my own lack of skills when I watch someone like you. I'm a huge fan like everyone on here. I play in 3 bands and have been getting paid to play for 25 years. You'd think I'd be a better player by now LoL. You're a very humble dude. I was thrilled to see you play Barracuda pretty much the way I have for years. It's make me feel like I'm justified in still playing and not selling my gear. Thank you for keeping it real. This is the best part of TH-cam. It allows mere mortals like be to converse with someone like you. Thanks again for sharing your time and passion - Ken from Boston
Didn't know this band until you started the rehearsals but many thanks for the nice discovery Ann is just an incredible singer and this Barracuda song a great masterpiece
Oops... I was busy trying to learn the song this morning and just now watched my Homeskoolin’ lesson. I sure wish I would have seen this BEFORE my last IG post! 😆 Thanks so much for the help‼️🤘🏽👍🏼
Glad to see one of the greatest players let those other three fingers swing around on your picking hand. I’ve never closed my picking hand, but I notice that so many players play with a fist. I feel like I’m in good company now. Also, put that half & half back in the fridge, man. It’s stressing me out ;) (I agree with everyone else that it was super gracious of you to share your morning with us).
Duesenberg has a really cool trem system. I am picking one of your Double Humbucker Duesenberg up as soon as I can. Semi-hollow guitars for life. That lick did look really odd to play. Thanks for the lesson as always.
Awesome Uncle Larry, to me the 4ths sound right - especially when you just did it, but I can't really tell either. Awesome, this tune is an epic landmark AND you're the man!
I had a similar experience doing a version of Apache, (The Shadows - Hank Marvin) and the details are quite tricky, the timing-I got the rhythm track of The Shadows minus the lead guitar and put this into Reaper, played my S type on position 4, came up OK-right kind of delay. Good practice.
I always have difficulty playing that galloping part. I dig your channel although I've only been playing a little over a year. Just a working man I play after work and on weekends. Thanks for the channel!
Heading your way next week on vacation. Stopping at the new Gibson Garage on my birthday as well. Hoping to see, do, and eat awesome things in Nashville and the Smokies.
Thanks for the lesson. Magic Man took me forever to get right. Thats some tricky shit. Can you give us an update on getting some Trip The Witch and Uncle Larry vinyl.
Hey Tom... (VCB entry) Have you ever been compared to Larry Carlton? The similarities just hit me really hard while driving. You both have very individualistic playing styles, are hard to forget, and very inspirational for the thriving guitarist. Also goes without saying but a legendary session man. Man you don’t know how much I appreciate what you do with this Homeskoolin show. Thanks a lot- hope you see this man. Take it easy -Payton

Hell yeah!
Some one should make a video where they walk up to non guitar players on the street and say all these Uncle Larry quotes randomly and walk away.
Just the fact that you would take time to do this to help out a complete stranger tells folks all they need to know about you as a person. Well done, brother 👏
The "Old Bull", Let's see who gets that :)
The old bull and young bull standing up on a hill.
@@craig70bigsky Yep! I used to be that young bull but later learned that lesson!
"You dont want to abuse that hole" - Uncle Larry
You gotta respect the hole! Don’t be an amateur lol
funny name for negative space but yeah
@@russellzauner hole is a great name for negative space. Thats literally what holes are.
Gotta be the next Homeskoolin Tee shirt
@@pcole11 A tee with Uncle Larry's sleepy face (with glasses) above the quote would sell out quick!
Roger is a unique and creative dude...so many iconic licks inside iconic songs. Thanks for a great lesson...music of my youth!

Mozart said, "A well placed silence is the most powerful element in music."
Uncle Larry said "You don't wanna abuse that hole."
Both agree.

Very nice folks and Thurman is a really nice and polite kid with a ton of talent. I think it's really special you gave him this shout out and this lesson for him (and us). Great job Mr. B
Best part of your videos is that it feels like we’re just hangin out. Thanks for the lesson
What a fantastic video! It’s like being tutored by a master. What a great gift to the guy practicing for his audition! Thank you again Tom for all that you give away here. I feel like I’m sitting in the kitchen with you while you play.
"My life of a session man is full of.....quiet misery" I actually felt your pain there LOL
"Wang bars are like mayonnaise" - PRICELESS!!!!! 😂
I also like “subtle wangulation”
@@GoldTop57 classic
The “easy” stuff is what kills me every time man… all on the details. Wasn’t trying to learn this tune today but I welcome the less Tom, always the best stuff!
I love how you just woke up and already have a guitar in your hand.
I think that’s what the very first part of the lesson actually was. I live that too!
This video is exactly why you're my favorite guitar guy on YT. One of your best Uncle Larry...just you being you man!
"Subtle wangulation"
Best whammy bar term ever.
Uncle Larry... you gracious human. Thank you for this
Nice words for Roger Fisher, very gracious and deserving. You showed some cool stuff I’ve missed and I’m an old fan. Thanks Uncle Larry.
Love the Roger Fisher Heart version. What a unique, creative, and talented guitarist. Thanks Uncle L!
Man to watch how you think through this song is EYE opening THANKS Tom!
Always liked older Heart but never figured out anything (except "Love Alive" years and years ago). Really makes me appreciate these parts a heck of a lot more. Thank you as always for your posts.
What a song! Roger Fisher also shows how he played the riffs on his channel in case anyone is interested. But Buk of course nailed it :)
Love this kind of video were you breakdown a riff or a solo and analyse the different parts and gives us insight what makes it sound like the record. With your many years of experience they are priceless and help me as a newer guitar player to progress and find inspiration to play. Thanks teach👌
Thank you for the in-depth analysis of this iconic tune, Uncle Larry.
“Subtle wangulation”. Brilliance in a video full of brilliance. 🏆
Uncle Larry.... "your humor never ceases to bring a smile" ! Great!
So fun going thru a song with you man.Tom thanks for doing this.
Nothin like waking up at 7am and learning fucking Barracuda. Legendary

The power of the hole in the middle of a hot lick!
Have an awesome weekend Tom.🤙
After you tuned up that riff in G was worth every penny of what I put in the tip jar for me. Now, on to the rest of the video...
I was watching a TH-cam clip on the 1978 "Cal Jam II" outdoor show and the Heart segment has a pretty good rendition of their Barracuda tune. The sound quality is not very good, but it does capture the essence of that number. And BOY, as an aside, i forgot just how absolutely BEEEEUTIFUL the Heart girls were. That Ann Wilson can just belt out the most fabulous vocals, and the thing is, many years later she still sounds pretty much the same. What a great band they were.
"Ya gotta be the old bull on that one"... Made me smile for a moment and wonder how many young cats got that one.. LOL Thanks Tommy! 8) --gary
I saw Heart back in the day. I remember Ann coming out singing a Zeppelin tune. Wow, I was gobsmacked. The early days of Heart were something to behold.
Yeah man, saw them in Baton Rouge 1979 (they looked like a deck of cards), then again in '82 just after their big hits era began. It was like 2 different bands. And yes, they always covered some Zep as an encore or so...
It is the song that got me hooked on playing guitar way back. That galloping rhythm riff and harmonic break did it.
Doctor, amazing how you can here bits of a classic song and then be compelled to hear the whole song. Agree on Roger Fisher...great parts in all the Heart stuff. Appreciated!
OMG! That Dusenberg! That's your signature model (apologies if I missed earlier episodes about it...busy). But it's so awesome that a fellow Clevelander has achieved such status in the guitar community.
But damn, that guitar!
straight up guitar lesson for a single song nice! Thanks Uncle L
The wang bar is a lot like mayonaise.. a itttle goes a long way!.. LOL! One of the funniest lines you will hear all year!
" Wagulation ".....I've gotta email Websters on that one. Brilliant!
I needed this, thank you for the ray of sunshine
Wow!, Uncle Larry, thanks so much for letting us see inside how you approach an iconic tune! There is always a choice nugget in every video you post, whether something musical, or maybe more importantly, something that is just honest humanity.
At 4:40, Tom starts tuning his guitar and I am transfixed. Sounded like Steely Dan for a second. LOL
Thanks Tommy. Good stuff. 12:15 is epic….lol. I feel this way often when I try to play someone else’s grooves. It’s a tough nut to crack.
I feel this way all the time. lol Definitely tricky.
Awesome…excellent tips! My buddy Ryan Waters played with Nancy Wilson on her side projects and on the last Heart tour and I know he can dig the learning process for that one tune!
This is a much welcomed video. Great to watch you show us how you interpret another genius's work of art! Thanks for sharing this, Brother...

Amen.
One of the reasons I fell for my wife is that she hates mayo...which means I get it all!
@@rstuartcpa That's really beautiful.

If you play in 3 bands and get paid, you are doing great - a lot of guitarists aspire to that level !!!
We all share the same passion. Newbie or Pro. It's a wonderful lifelong pursuit.
So much good info in one video... Thanks for all of your videos, Uncle Larry!!
Great to hear you talk about simple things can be difficult to get top shelf player to get together on. Makes us hacks feel better! :)
“You don’t want to abuse that hole”. A metaphor for so many aspects of life.
Great lesson Tom..thanks for the tips..I always pick something up when you break these down
"A subtle wangulation". MY choice for quote of the month!
So cool, thanks for the lesson!! Stay well Uncle Larry!!
This show is chock full of amazing aphorisms! Cheers Uncle Larry!!
Thanks uncle. I seen your solos in Florida, you had em cutting up boy. 🍻
"A Little Bit Goes a Long Way: The Tao of Tom Bukovac"

Good luck with this one Thurman, you do have the right guitar to play this.
The Homeskoolin’ Duece doesn’t have a wiggle stick. I’m not sure what I’m going to use. I don’t have shreddy guitars. 🤷🏼
@@thurmanjuan Sorry Thurman, I coulda swore it had one........
Uncle Larry making our days much better
Thanks for the free lesson, priceless Uncle Larry! Paraphrasing 'don't dive bomb that wang bar man, just don't do it'...

Hey uncle larry could u please make more such harder song tutorials, also some exercises please.
Geezus. That fifth tuning you do is a great melody in itself.
Bachelor neon sign in the background, keeping it real
“Don’t abuse the hole” is definitely T-Shirt worthy.
Awesome Uncle Larry, to me the 4ths sound right - especially when you just did it, but I can't really tell either. Awesome, this tune is an epic landmark AND you're the man!

I'm still enjoying these classes, Tom. Thanks for giving me something to learn this morning. Saw that video btw. Freaking rad.
"It's like mayonnaise - a little bit goes a long way" - LOL
Thanks for filling my brain hole!
You are the Best!
Thanks, Uncle Larry!! You rock!!
Came for some skoolin', left with knowing Barracuda, tuning in 5ths, wangulation, hole abuse and the quiet misery of a session man. Class dismissed!
Don't forget the old bull.
Wangulation 🤣
"You don't wanna abuse that hole". Great lesson!
I always have difficulty playing that galloping part. I dig your channel although I've only been playing a little over a year. Just a working man I play after work and on weekends. Thanks for the channel!
Heading your way next week on vacation. Stopping at the new Gibson Garage on my birthday as well. Hoping to see, do, and eat awesome things in Nashville and the Smokies.
Unfilled holes & tuning by fifths. Epic.
Wangulation should always be subtle. Thank for all you donUncle Larry!
Michael Landau knows how to play a wang bar. He use it a lot. And it is amazing !
Thanks for the lesson. Magic Man took me forever to get right. Thats some tricky shit. Can you give us an update on getting some Trip The Witch and Uncle Larry vinyl.
Love the signature Duesenberg! Haven’t seen you play it before. Sounds fantastic.
“Be careful with that wang bar. It’s like mayonnaise, a little goes a long way.” Words to live by.
Love your glasses Tom, my wife has the same pair and it's very endearing to see you wearing them. Hell, I might not even beat her today! 🤘
When your wanged harmonics sound like the train's a comin, you got it knacked down good
Wangulation on the wangulator, now I got it! Thanks Uncle Larry
