You are officially an inspiration. Just watching you play is actually making me play better! My playing seems freer somehow since I started following you Nashville boys. Cheers Unc.
The thing I hear other players say about Larry is one of the secrets of his success is how he interacts with people, That and everything he just said. We love ya Uncle Larry!
I was blessed with two daughters now in their 40's and they now worry about me. That's different and I wonder if I deserve it. I play every day and this channel helps me more than I can say.
Cherish every moment , 6 kids , 14 grandkids . One daughter, One granddaughter have already step into eternity , I would give the world’s inheritance to have another day with them ❤
. . my son. . .7 - 11 yrs. old . . take little mid day nap . . .I could see his legs getting longer as he lay there . . ha . .he's 38 now. . .those memories . .you never forget . .always brings a smile..
You totally devote every second of your life to playing and studying guitar. You eat, sleep and poop music…don’t be modest Tom. You’ve devoted your entire being into playing and arranging music, and it’s super imposed into the amazing stuff you play. Thanks for sharing! Blew me away with the opening jam…Just killer!! Super inspiring!!
Happens so fast man! Life that is. Music is great for capturing a moment!. I will for sure remember what I was listening to when my kids were going through whatever phases. A playlist of tears awaits!
Your R&B bits had me nearly peeing my pants Tom! But brother you are spot-on, I find myself listening to the local college station more often now to hear something, anything, new. Sometimes it's a bit out there for me but I do hear some things that make me perk my ears up. Thanks as always, you're the best dude.
20:03 to 20:13 mark roughly, simultaneously had me laughing AND sums up the music scene for the past 20 years,,,love it! thanks Uncle Larry! Absolutely brilliant!
EXACTLY…pure garbage by talentless hacks. That sums up the music business since musicianship went out the door in the 90’s. Many of these guys are just button pushing geeks vs years long study of music/instrument playing. Most can’t even play a kazoo. I’m hopeful the circle comes around again and tastes change to appreciate real music vs musak.
Dear Uncle Larry, I fall in love with guitar all over again when you post a new video. You’ve inspired me to become such a better player since Home Skoolin’ started. Thank. You. So. Much. The producing video was awesome. You’re definitely gifted with that leadership ability and it’s beautiful to see.
Brother !!! , really greatful the camera was running - man today's show was awesome and would have been a shame to not get all that for us out here . Thanks T and please keep em coming. Peace LA
The absolute best records are by bands that also kick ass playing live -- not just because they are kick as musicians & artists but because the listener doesn't have to be subjected to studio effects that make the players & singers sound far away all the time the way reverb does. They can also sound like they're in the room with you, entertaining you, speaking to you directly when the song calls for it. E.g. Queen's The Game, where the message is to love & it's only at the beginning where the band comes in like a UFO landing & the fadeout where the band leaves off back into the sky that there's seemingly any distance. In between they're right in front of you like a family intervention trying to blow your mind. Yeah, it made a big impression on me as a kid hearing it for the first time.
I wrote a song, a few years back in that same mindset of life, called Long Days, Short Years. A a kid, looking forward, Christmas, school, turning 16/18/21, etc. seemed to take forever. Like a wide- angle lens on a camera, so much to see. Looking back through your life, compression of time makes it seem so short. Like a telephoto zoom lens, everything is squished together. Sucks, man.
There some great pickers in Nashville, GT being one of them. Uncle Larry is as well but what separates him is his unbelievable creativity and the ability to just hear the music and then play it.
19:57 I can honestly say, I’ve never laughed out loud as much as this at any other TH-cam video in history. 😂 Lord that killed me. Ahhhh haha. Epic Homeskoolin moment. Thanks Tom.
I love this comment. It was a reminder to me that we’re all were our own diagnosis! . You are a E300. I’m a cheap Martin dreadnaught that has a wonderful case that even the Rick Beato beginner guitar course didn’t set me a fire on. I know the basics. As a kid I was a steel guitar player. I still have my little magnatone lap steel. My ear has always been better than my ability but I appreciate goodness and you know we’re here in it on this channel.. I love your comment and I sure love this channel
Hey Tom, when In Stereo, Plexi Soul, and Trip the Witch are playing in whole-album loop in the car...there's a firehose blast of amazing creativity pumping out of the speakers. The universe needs to hear it all, so I crack the window a bit.
Yep…don’t blink!! I say the same thing to anyone who will listen…soak in the special moments! Think about it make a conscience effort to appreciate what is good…and tell people you love them! “All we are is dust in the wind.”
God, you have great time. '59 335, SG, vintage Les Paul... whatever you play, you make such great music. A slab of wood with a couple of pickups... Leo's gift. The Tele sounds fucking amazing!
Back when I was a young whipper snapper I got to play on a couple of sessions produced by David Grissom. I was by no means equipped to be there but had a couple of good moments and toward the end David’s advice was basically “go listen to more and study more deeply than just what the guitar is doing in the few limited genres you seem to be into right now”. He was super cool about it and it was the best advice ever. Also I don’t have near the experience or ability as you Uncle Larry, but for youngins out there, eating shit a number of times in front of the last guy I wanted to eat shit in front of was a painful but necessary part of my own growth, for whatever that’s worth.
First Uncle Larry, your mastery of the fretboard is both frighteningly good, but somehow you make it inspirational for me to keep at it. And thanks for getting into the weeds on the work of a session man. Though it started as an aspiration, my foolish, youthful bad decisions derailed that dream. The substitute for the dream of becoming a session musician, was songwriting and arranging. All that to say, your insights into the process have Huge application even for a wannabe like me. So, thank you, thank you for sharing the inner workings of your professional life as well as soulful thoughts like this morning.
Hey Tom! It’s been a while.. I’m a little late to the “Uncle Albert” post, but the clean electric track on Uncle Albert was done by Hugh McCracken. Such a monster. Such a beautiful track, played by an amazing session musician, that played on so many hits in the 60’s and 70’s. Said to have a low key personality, with an incredible sense of humor, and would never do interviews. This is your old buddy Joel, the guy with the 3 boys who also picked. And the guy whose old gear sold almost immediately at your store, because it reeked of cigarette smoke. 😂 Always enjoyed our time, (my boys and myself) at 2nd Gear! Hope to see you out and about soon
I think the hardest thing you've mentioned about being a session player is the ability to manage your ego, when a producer wants something different that what you've offered, and still being 100% in the session. Tim Pierce has talked about this too... That piece of the puzzle, I think for most of us, is the most difficult to learn/manage.
That Blue Strat just left my shop a couple of weeks ago... great guitar. Tell DJ you want the 3 tone burst with the greatest tremolo ever... thanks Tom
❤ hey Tom, since your channel Ive made some good friends here right in my own grit city because of skool and we’re coming in December to the celebration of the birth of our musical prodigy who we all adore ,to see you. And yes they are Burst people❤ maybe next year I’ll bring young Jack… who now knows how to stand up and say touchdown
26:43 Sounds like Mickey Baker on Love Is Strange. Cool tone! My boy turned 9 months old Sunday, and it seems like we brought him home yesterday. Time flies like a rocket sled in greased rails.
haha, great mimicking modern songwriting scheme uncle...we need more of 'what not to play when in sessions'... also...the inevitable sensation of life passing by quickly makes one think...and that is why we are grateful for these lessons/community...because in this congested and devalued world, it shows us that there is still value and worthy matter...thanks
I love the sound of that pickup. I love the darkness. Neck pickups in general are too dark for me, though, so I avoid them when I can. My Brad Paisley esquire is my favorite neck shape.
You are officially an inspiration. Just watching you play is actually making me play better! My playing seems freer somehow since I started following you Nashville boys. Cheers Unc.
laughed so hard every time you played your mock versions of modern hits... f`n gold duder!
“Uh” “Uh”
“Yeah”
😂
The thing I hear other players say about Larry is one of the secrets of his success is how he interacts with people,
That and everything he just said.
We love ya Uncle Larry!
Preach it!
I was blessed with two daughters now in their 40's and they now worry about me. That's different and I wonder if I deserve it.
I play every day and this channel helps me more than I can say.
Cherish every moment , 6 kids , 14 grandkids . One daughter, One granddaughter have already step into eternity , I would give the world’s inheritance to have another day with them ❤
Clearly it's your tasty sense of rhythm and melody that makes you so good. Your playing always has a direction ❤
I think your prog stuff is your best stuff. I got caught up in this jam and then it hit me " no drums, no keys etc..." love it, thx
Literally cracking up every single time you demonstrated the 10th cliche. You’re a legend sir thanks for the inspiration.
♥️Real sweet Bukovac. Sounds killer, very original. Beautiful 🎸 guitar work.🎵
“Come on Girl” “uh uh”. “I’m not doing that anymore, that’s off the list”.
The best f’n quote from Uncle Larry EVER! 😂
My favorite thing I have seen you play and I love everything you play. My jaw was on the floor for most of that. Bravo 👏
Wow .. I was momentarily transported to another planet for the 1st 7 mins there .. whew!
Holy… one of the best telle sounds i heard in my life
Tom always loved your playing but your touch with that Tele is second to none ! That is a keeper !!!
. . my son. . .7 - 11 yrs. old . . take little mid day nap . . .I could see his legs getting longer as he lay there . . ha . .he's 38 now. . .those memories . .you never forget . .always brings a smile..

The teles in my room started vibrating sympathetically with that amazing intro.
Best explaination of what a session man does I've ever heard.
Never Obtuse. Thank you for all that you Give.
So true Tom, hang on to every moment. I lost one of my sons last week. He was only 38. Those moments are all that are left.
Sad to hear about your loss man - I lost my 23 old son 7 weeks ago😢. Hope there is peace off mind to find one day - for you too🙏
@@jamujesperandersen8699Jesus you guys …that is terrible
I am sorry
Solid content all the time! Outstanding again, thanks!
Its too much. Unearthly skills. Love it.
Happens so fast man! Life that is. Music is great for capturing a moment!. I will for sure remember what I was listening to when my kids were going through whatever phases. A playlist of tears awaits!

Sometimes it's a bit out there for me but I do hear some things that make me perk my ears up. Thanks as always, you're the best dude.
That intro was as long as an old prog song with the requisite amount of separate ideas in a single tune! Sounds great Uncle Larry!
You just wrote a hit (Thanks for all the fun times and posts! Have a great rest of the week! 😎👍)
I love hearing about your obtuse studio knowledge and thought process. Thank you for sharing
Man that fretboard has some well worn paths through the harmonic jungle. It took you down some really cool lesser traveled trails today!
It has the Jonny b good wear on it.
Haha …Tom I’m laughing so hard I’m cryin
Thank you so much
20:03 to 20:13 mark roughly, simultaneously had me laughing AND sums up the music scene for the past 20 years,,,love it! thanks Uncle Larry! Absolutely brilliant!
And even when he's doing a throw away parody, his pocket is perfect

Sick Uncle Larry! Killer opener. Now it's a beautiful morning. Peace
Oh man, that tele and that tune sound glorious. Thanks!
The week can start!!
Your music brings many memories; great stuff.
You are speaking to all creatives, one of your best lessons.
Goddamn it, that into jam was spectacular. Mesmerizing stuff.
Uncle R&B Larry rap-crooner...Hilarious and spot on. THANKS BUK!!!
Thanks for the wisdom, Tom. Today's episode really resonated with me.
Dear Uncle Larry,

The producing video was awesome. You’re definitely gifted with that leadership ability and it’s beautiful to see.
The cliches you eschew I am just starting to learn.😂 Shows all the experience you have. I won't ever catch up. Thanks for showing us all that stuff.😅
bravo, had me in stitches
UL Rocks! Thanks sharing your amazing musicianship and fellowship with us!!!
Timeless Thumbnail . Love the sound of your Blackguard Telecaster plus your playing is virtuoso .
Tom, thanks. Talk about jazz.
i feel your football pain. you are wonderful. please be creative. the homeskoolers' love you!
Hello Tom, au top comme d'hab 👍💯🎸🎶🎵🤩 Bonne soirée
I disconnected my front pick up from the tone knob and it was a game changer for me. Heard Zac talking about it and he showed how to do it.
I’m only one minute in, already love the killer ominous sounding riffage going on😎
Brother !!! , really greatful the camera was running - man today's show was awesome and would have been a shame to not get all that for us out here . Thanks T and please keep em coming. Peace LA
Love it, Larry. Keep on sharing I learn something from all of your videos.
The absolute best records are by bands that also kick ass playing live -- not just because they are kick as musicians & artists but because the listener doesn't have to be subjected to studio effects that make the players & singers sound far away all the time the way reverb does. They can also sound like they're in the room with you, entertaining you, speaking to you directly when the song calls for it.
E.g. Queen's The Game, where the message is to love & it's only at the beginning where the band comes in like a UFO landing & the fadeout where the band leaves off back into the sky that there's seemingly any distance. In between they're right in front of you like a family intervention trying to blow your mind.

Sucks, man.
I always click the thumbs up right away .. cause I just know.
I think Uncle Larry has a hit song! “Uh uh…come I girl..why’d you do that to me…”. Awesome! Hahahaha!
Killer tune, rad tone! Thanks Tom.
There some great pickers in Nashville, GT being one of them. Uncle Larry is as well but what separates him is his unbelievable creativity and the ability to just hear the music and then play it.

I can honestly say, I’ve never laughed out loud as much as this at any other TH-cam video in history. 😂
Lord that killed me. Ahhhh haha.
Epic Homeskoolin moment.
Thanks Tom.
Larry, your eclecticism has inspired me to play Debussy's Clair De Lune, to the groove of James Brown's Sex Machine, and I've never felt more alive !
E300 St. here. Never miss an episode of the Greatest site on TH-cam. And the Best Ranger to come out of Eastlake North. Love ya Bro

Sweet black guard telecaster ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Freedom is everything! Cheers Tom!!
You had me cracking up with your R&B imitations with 10ths!

Hey Tom, That has to be the best Tumbnail pic you've posted yet, and then there is the content within the tumbnail..Brilliance! ❤
"Come on girl". Dude I'm dying. 😂
The camera being off the whole time comment definitively brought out a real laugh. Hilarious 😆. We’ve all been there.
I have never watched a video that makes me think deeply while laughing out loud. Ahh girl, why cha do that to me?
LOL You're killing me with the R&B stuff.
That Blue Strat just left my shop a couple of weeks ago... great guitar. Tell DJ you want the 3 tone burst with the greatest tremolo ever... thanks Tom
mental note, never play the only R&B fill/lick I know in front of tom.
I’ve been playing my whole life and I would never pick up a guitar in front of Tom.
@Old-dog-jams
I would. Imagine all the little hints, tricks, and tips.
Gold mine.👍
Tele sounds phenomenal
@@Vern859 for me it would be way to intimidating lol
@@Old-dog-jams I feel the same way. For some reason, he terrifies me!!!
I hope that intro piece is turning into a song for the next project. That was bangin’
Can't wait for the Bret Papa sub videos Tom. I'll be your first customer.
❤ hey Tom, since your channel Ive made some good friends here right in my own grit city because of skool and we’re coming in December to the celebration of the birth of our musical prodigy who we all adore ,to see you.

I’m at 15:30… Wiping coffee off my face and pants… after hearing: “C’mon grrll!”
DAMMIT Lawrence! Watch where you pointin’ the funny!
You are so sensible😂 Great stuff. Very great stuff.
That Tele is almost as good as mine.
Cool intro.
Like a great intro to a 70s tv show. Like the intro in the episode called "The Spy "
26:43 Sounds like Mickey Baker on Love Is Strange. Cool tone! My boy turned 9 months old Sunday, and it seems like we brought him home yesterday. Time flies like a rocket sled in greased rails.
You can teach how to play, the technicality of it, because this is physical, but you cannot teach to find ideas, it is creativity.
Awesome opening jam good sir!
I laughed my ass off to those rnb imitations 😂 go larry!
Good stuff always🚗❤️
Fun, important informations. Thanks.
Love that intro. Pinball wizard and Achilles last stand on crack.
Hey Tom...Joni said it so well: "...one day cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town".
I guess I like dark pickups. That thing sounds fantastic.
haha, great mimicking modern songwriting scheme uncle...we need more of 'what not to play when in sessions'... also...the inevitable sensation of life passing by quickly makes one think...and that is why we are grateful for these lessons/community...because in this congested and devalued world, it shows us that there is still value and worthy matter...thanks
It’s the Headless Session Man!!
