      Hell yeah. Everything Uncle Larry talks about and teaches us is throughly enjoyable and so awesome to learn about old baseball and football cards and the crazy prices….and if you’re reading this Uncle Larry…we are more than interested and care about everything you have to talk about and everything you like. Not one episode has been the least bit boring…quite the opposite…I look forward to every episode more than any movie or TV show I might possibly look forward to.
      Speaking of CTE. I played hockey for 20 years and had so many concussions but back in the 1990’s when you would get smashed on the ice and have a concussion the coach would just say…” wait 5 min and go back out “ Now it’s not the same as the NFL but I took hundreds if not thousands of major blows to the head playing 12 months a year 5-6 times a week and now at 38 years old I get some intense migraines and anxiety and doctors now say it’s from all the concussions and blows to the head. Anyway…sorry for the long comment but I just wanted to let you know we all care a lot about every single thing you’ve taught us and talk about…

    Hey Tom- Congratulations on more than two years of your channel. I'm sitting here wearing the same t-shirt as you (not sure how that happened) and proud to be a hardcore Homeskooler. All of this with you is like one of those things that is so magical and historical that some people may not fully appreciate it. I mean here you are at the absolute top of your game and you have been kind enough to bring us along on this rocket ship of a ride with you- just hanging and chatting in the garage, frigging on tour with you to LA, all across the USA with some of my heroes, Ann Wilson, Joe Walsh, Vince Gill, to Germany and Nova Scotia. And hanging in the studio with you is just a raw treat for all of the senses. Look, imagine if Jimmy Page had a channel and took you along for the ride? That is how stoked I am to "know" you and actually learn some music from you that you have dedicated 1000% of you life to the last 30 years. There is nothing else like it. And it's nothing like, oh your so great, because with you we are all in this together. Because of how you showed us how all guys you hang with really love each other and the down to earth, just cool, sweet soul that you are has made me a better person. When I think that I am being open, and curious, and kind, and humorous like you would be- all of my relationships are better. You are my guitar hero (along with Guthrie Trapp, Jimmy Page, and many others) and more than that you are one of the best examples of what a bro should be. P.S. And I am still working on Friday Night Slop from episode 16 or whatever.

    Your videos never fail to entertain Uncle Larry. I've been buying pedals since 1974. I kick myself when I think of how many I've traded or given away. Same with those Fender Princeton amps. I've had several of the old ones that I let go for cheap. And as long as I'm reminiscing, I was born in 1952. I ruined a shit load of great collectable baseball and football cards with the spokes of my bicycle. Much respect...

    I fkn love you Larry, you always manage to hit the mark with me. Firstly, Jim Otto is one of my 5 favorite football players of all time. Second, Mr. Howard Davis the enigmatic designer of the DMM. Weird, weird, weird indeed. It was so interesting to hear you say that because my communication with him in fixing DMM's (something he solicited at the time) was also quite an absurd act of strangeness. I'm almost glad to know my experience wasn't an isolated incident.
    Then your opinion about recording your effects, that was really refreshing to hear. The studio I record at, up near where I live (a great studio with great people and great gear but this story remains nonetheless) starting the first time I recorded this dissuaded me from recording my effects onto the tape. I was really disappointed because to me, it was a core part of my sound. Nothing insane, just two different flavors of chorus, one for clean, one for some parts of some leads. They told me that effects were better added in post and I just wasn't confident enough to disagree. Everything else they suggested I was happy with but that was one thing I wasn't and it's always bugged me about those recordings and made listening to them less fulfilling. So it was nice to hear encouragement on the subject from a seasoned and highly regarded/respected session musician.
    Hope you enjoy your December! Our birthday approaches. You should look up 12/20. It's an interesting day if you're at all interested or curious in things like astrology and/or the Mayan calendar. The Mayans called it the "day out of time."

    Hey Tom, boy I would love have a Roy Smeck! Great present from Vince. Be sure to keep that slide with the instrument as it is vintage and probably used by the original owner. Get yourself a new stainless or chrome Stevens type bar and try it - a lot less noisy. The sharp end will allow pull-offs like Jerry does. Also, that Black Mountain springy thumbpick works great lap style. Loved your Gruhn impression!

    I was recording a record maybe 10-15 yrs back and at the time I had a 50th anniversary blonde Vox and Peavey hot rod Deluxe clone. We were close micing everything as usual and then just randomly took the sm57 back about 10 feet into the middle of the room. I switched to just the Peavey and singled out the 57 and bam = instant vintage Jimmie Page!!!! I mean it was incredible how much my Les Paul went from outstanding tone to raw shred like Zepplin II in just a flick of the switch. Can't agree more with experimenting on mic placement

    Holy Sh**!! My Dad had a '59 Bel Air. It was roomy to say the least. My brothers and I would play a game we called "fourth and one" in the back seat while making the long drive to Grandma's. It was a simple game. As the name implied, the youngest would try to dive over top of us from one side of the car to the other to score a touchdown. Things usually devolved pretty quickly into crying and/or a fight. If only he had Jim Otto leading the way for him things would have turned out better.
