LIsten to Mike Campbell, even though he's a lead, he never over plays. Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Greetings from Cincinnati. I work for Mike Reeder at Mike’s Music. I mentioned how much I was enjoying your TH-cam Series and he mention he knew you well and says hello.
501chorusecho I sure will. I see him every freakin Day. Ha. He has a show on TH-cam called Fret Buzz. Guitars/artists and coffee. Check it out of you feel like. Really enjoying your videos. Just fantastic Sir.
Love waking up in the morning to the Homeskoolin show. It's great how you put into word's what floating around in people's head's. Alway's look forward to some great advice. And lord know's you have a ton of it. Thank's as alway's Tom.
"All Day, and All of the Night," Yes! The tune that got me into playing guitar fifty-five years ago. Perfect, that you'd include that one. Thanks! And, speaking of rhythm, nobody could sit on a phrase and plow a groove like Jimmy Nolen!
Hey Tom, now that I'm up to date with all your episodes I wanted to say I wish you were my drunk uncle Larry. I love the philosophy and a guitar riff to top it off. I tried closing my eyes and playing. I thought it was really weird to hear things instead of playing my usual licks. Thought I was doing good and I open my eyes and my wife is asking what I'm doing. She said I was rocking back and forth and making some strange constipated faces 👍
Meditated before this installment of Homeskoolin'. Was very profound for me. Thanks again, Tom. Also can't wait for everybody's design concept. This is really a great bunch of players and I'm grateful for all of you. Enjoy your day.
Tom, thank you so much my brother for getting me back into Free. They're one of my favorite bands, but of course with the abundance of music available nowadays by the mere click of a button had me forgetting about them. Back to spinning the Free discog!
"Buk-ola" Ha! Thank you for that. I love how you turned Blue Wind into a solo performance. You just gave me something new to practice. I realize this comment is about 7 months late. Yes I'm living in your past. Hopefull one day I will catch up with your class. You are amazing and a great inspiration!!
Good show! I look forward to seeing u every morning with my coffee!!! Great info and I appreciate you doing this!!! Hard times man! My gigs are shut down. Teaching on line is a drag!
Been off work for seven weeks now, playing more than ever. My hands are killing me, really. Try some ice afterward, it seems to help short term. I also have to factor in I'm OLD!!! Good luck.
I come to the conclusion I am very much like yourself except not on the grand level of working and doing sessions like yourself except I am in the bass world of it all which I am especially called on for my fretless work... I watch all your videos and I put myself in the situation and my attitude is the same as yours everything from gear to playing just to life in general and The inspirations man ,you gave me are far and beyond you may respond you may not respond but I'm here and I continue to watch your videos in particular I'm a Gibson guy with my bass guitars and I use a 79 Marshall Major for bass amps Fender bassmans etc etc thank you Tommy
Tom I really like today's homeschooling. Thanks So Much . Also your guitar playing Rad as usual ! Your whole tone and especially your Diminished shredables. Thanks
So Lonnie and I heard through the grapevine that you're on TH-cam! So of course we had to look you up and support you! Awesome videos!! Great job Tom!!! Hope all is well with everyone!! :)
Up early this morning ... I was never moved by Les Pauls, it's not for a lack of trying ... I wanted to like them ... but, I think I could sink my teeth into a 335. There's something about the voice of the 335/345/355 that is more expressive to my ear.
I've never been a PAF/Les Paul guy either. I actually like them with minis and P90's but with a full sized bucker they're too pushy for me. Kind of too much of everything. I love SG's and 335's though.
Hi Tom, thanks for getting us thru this debacle! Curious if you ever get out of the studio and perform locally on occasion to enjoy the crowd interaction and just jam. I make my occasional pilgrimages from Ohio to Nashville and would love to catch a live show! Might be a cool way for a lot of us to meet you and thank you in person over a Rock or two! Thanks for what you do brother!! Doug in Dayton
I’ve always consider myself a Rhythm guitar player, growing up all my buddies just wanted to learn the riff and the leads, when we would get together to play that’s all they knew, The Riff and The Lead, it got very boring very quick, so I learned the songs, then everybody wanted to jam with me because I knew songs, can’t have a band without songs, so I learned early on just how important Rhythm guitar is, and after all these years I still get calls to play, those guys that played all the Riffs and Leads got burned out years ago.
Hey Tom, Thanks for dragging me kicking and screaming back from the wormhole that is chasing tone through gear, I've watched all your shows and picked up a few things; focus on my playing and learning but most of all ask yourself the question WWTBP - "What would Tom Bukovac play!", there's a t-shirt design for you.
That jam from wired was amazing ! Love that album been listening to it since it came out in 1975. I saw that video of you playing that beck song from blow by blow that was really cool.
For some reason my eye can’t stop watching the cat in the background when he’s playing and seeing if it’s on time. Like when you watch the windshield wipers or a blinker. Check out how perfect he stays on it when he starts Whole Lotta Love.
Killer playing and tone as always Tom! Hard to pick a favourite between Wired and Blow by Blow, both amazing albums. I haven't heard you mention Tommy Bolin as an influence but I'd imagine you'd be a fan of his work? He had a fearlessness to his playing that few do. I think his playing on Billy Cobham's Spectrum album must have made an impression on Jeff Beck before he recorded Blow by Blow.
I can testify to humidity probs. I moved from Birmingham to Cincinnati last fall. I had never experienced any real setup problems with any of my guitars before. This January both my Thinline and Strat were showing fret sprout, and the necks had moved way out of range. It took about a week to add the moisture back I to them with wet sponges in the cases. Glad to say they both play great after some tweaking.
I'm digging these vlogs! I'm also digging that Impala! Can we get a tour of the Impala? I used to have a 68 Sport Coupe that I wished I would have never sold!
I just searched for this video because I couldn’t remember the damn name of it but I knew it started with Jeff Beck then went into a quick Hendrix riff and then some Zepp and Skynyrd but I finally found it! And it was worth the many, many searches. Took a screen shot so I won’t forget it haha! Man I love this shit!
'Project Prog' is awesome and these music/life-lessons/musings, even though you lose me everytime at "say, in the Key of...", are teaching me things I didn't even know I didn't know! This whole channel is like that part of the gameshow where you've lost, but they rub your nose in it by showing you what you could have won. Instead, we got 'Talentless Idle' etc... Lockdown having these kinds of silver linings was super unexpected.
Hope you don't mind the counter-point but I (of course me, right?) did in fact allow a guitar to over-humidify. One time the A/C went out for a whole summer and I had a high end acoustic, left in it's case, tuned up, and ignored (I rarely play acoustic). When I pulled it out sometime that summer, the humidity, heat and string tension had bellied the body behind the bridge like the guitar had a tumor! It took a ton of silica gel and cool dehumidified air to get the moisture level back down to 50% and the belly to go away (kids don't try this at home - do it too fast and the wood will bust on ya). I know you're talking 99% electric and all, but I figured in the hopes of saving someone else the same horror that I had upon opening that case, I'd pass it along.
Love the Jeff Beck stuff! I have an old Mobile Fidelity 24K gold half-speed mastered CD of Wired. It’s a prized possession - it sounds like vinyl, but no hiss, cracks or pops. Amazing. But seeing you’re such a prog fan - I’m a drummer - if I ran into to you in town and asked if you wanted to do Heart of the Sunrise, would you…?
Thanks for the whole tone lesson. Most helpful. Non-guitar question - If you can't find Rolling Rocks out and about.. what is your PLAN B fallback beer of choice?
That's a good tip about winter time furnace outlets too close to guitars. I will move my guitars now. I actually used to live in an awful apartment with one furnace outlet. We would sit and practice songs in front of the furnace outlet because it was also very cold and drafty in the apartment. Every time the furnace came on you could literally hear the guitar go out of tune. Try to do a sustaining chord and you could the heat hear twist the guitar out of tune with the warm air Blowing directly on the guitar. My Gibson 1985 335 dot was more sensitive than my fender 1987 Strat plus, but it affected both.
I know most of the songs in the opening, but there are a couple I don't, so if anyone wants to drop the first few in there I'll add them to the playlist. Thanks

Just listened to the Pitch List podcast and wondered if you're a Bruce Lee fan at all? This quote from Enter the Dragon was ringing in my ears “What was that? An Exhibition? We need emotional content. Now try again!” This can be applied to almost every aspect of life but definitely sums up great art.
wired is easily...easily, one of the top 5 most insanely beautiful instrumental records ever made. easily. blow by blow too. once again, of course little tommy knows all about it. and that solo arrangement was amazing.
"Wired" was a great one. Tom, I liked your 'Porkpie Hat' cover a helluva lot too. Has Jeff Beck performed the whole thing live in recent years? Seems he always does the intro and switches to 'Brush with the Blues'. I was thinking about a Tim Pierce vlog from about a year ago that had gogo dancers overlayed while Tim played. It was some cool shit. Maybe you guys could do a contest for dancers and use that trick for some jamming and trading licks. It would be entertaining for sure. I'd provide a link for that one but couldn't find it.
Great videos, Tom..... You mentioned a few vids back that you had to think of something different for the next contest - how about something similar to what you did today? Play a bunch of licks all combined together, and the point would be to list the songs that they're from. You could throw in some really obscure ones that would really test the listener.... Oh well, just a thought....
Amazing! You're the musicians musician Tom, peoples choice, so real and down to earth.. I share the trait of being fun at parties, (when they were allowed), ..rockin' every hit of all time if it takes all night..lol
Tom you are a "National Treasure". Thank you for sharing your awesomeness, same shit swirling around in a lot of our heads if you're 50+/- ....any tips on stringing and keeping your strings in tune? You're the best.
Tom, love the videos! They have been a great source of joy during these strange times. I was wondering if you've ever dealt with an overuse injury? I got tendinitis in music school and then again at the start of corona (this time really bad). Do you do anything to prevent this? Thanks again man, keep doing what you're doing, cheers!
trust me, the worst thing you can do to a guitar is leaving it outside, go to a bar to drink. Come back at 5 am and find your guitar being drowned due to a sprinkler system that your good old dad put on, due to the hotsummer wheater. did happen to me.
Tom, thanks for the videos. I look forward to them everyday and often find myself late for my usual responsibilities after picking my guitar up for a “quick minute” and trying to practice something you’re talking about. That quick minute turns into hours and well, you get the idea. Anyways I guess I’d consider myself a low level intermediate player and I find that as I’m progressing, my picking is holding me back. Seems there are a lot of opinions on the best way to hold a pick and how to best anchor or not anchor the palm of your hand on the guitar for the most accurate playing. Just wondering how you do it and what techniques you’ve found to work the best? Thanks again for the tunes.
Good morning and great video as always. Can you talk about chord choices and progressions? You choose chords that I would never have thought to play. I guess the question is how would I know what my chord choices would be? I'm a blues player and the 1 4 5 shuffle gets old. I'm memorized by the chords you choose. Thx again.
Thanks again for the content very helpful i just wanted to axe u a guestion what moveable chord shapes do i need to learn to play more minor blues? . And what scales besides the penatonics should i learn first thanks again for taking the time to do this for us we all love it man stay cool Buk see u soon peace from myrtle bch
Damn!!Tom...what a Kickoff to my Day.....lol I don't Want a Reopening if this is what we get everyday!!..... Quick dumb question.....How can an Old Guy like me play Those Huge Stretch Chords??... Thank You Sir.
Love it Tom! On The kinks theme, are you aware of their song "session man". I think you'll find it quite amusing. Also are there any other British 60s bands you're into, apart from the Stones and Beatles like you mentioned. The Small Faces for example?
"Rhythm guitar ever heard of it?" PLEASE make this a shirt!!!
How about the one: "Chord's, remember them?"
Robert Baker I’m down to start a whole collection of shirts under the category of “Stuff Buk Says”
your dream Strat is awesome. Great content on your channel
YES!!!!
Robert Baker yes!! I’d wear that every day!!
Damn Tom! I almost spit out my coffee. Wasn't ready for that .. "I'm fun at parties." The delivery was impeccable. ThankYou!
You know shit is getting real when Uncle Larry breaks out the two handed tapping licks and the Hendrix. Thanks for making my Monday, Tommy B.
That tapping was so awesome. Even better with an on the edge of breakup tone.

“Unlock The Door” by Trigger Hippy is probably my new fav song. Especially the live version where you solo in the bassists face. Awesome playing Buk.
Hey Tom, now that I'm up to date with all your episodes I wanted to say I wish you were my drunk uncle Larry. I love the philosophy and a guitar riff to top it off.

Your fretting hand pinky is amazing. My New Years resolution every year is to use mine more. Thanks for inspiring us all!
Good show! I look forward to seeing u every morning with my coffee!!! Great info and I appreciate you doing this!!! Hard times man! My gigs are shut down. Teaching on line is a drag!
Another day of Tom slaying the internet. Hell yes.
Tom, I have to ask - what's your favorite rock guitar album of all-time?
As a guitarist with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, when I play it really aches but these videos have inspired me to push through. Thanks Tom
Been off work for seven weeks now, playing more than ever. My hands are killing me, really. Try some ice afterward, it seems to help short term. I also have to factor in I'm OLD!!! Good luck.
Points well taken! Thanks as always!

JJ Cale is one of my favorites that just stays with a rhythm 👍✌️
So Lonnie and I heard through the grapevine that you're on TH-cam! So of course we had to look you up and support you! Awesome videos!! Great job Tom!!! Hope all is well with everyone!! :)
you were on such a great roll there! Loved it.
Thanks Tom...........no gat near the heat pump......got it..............great gat life saving advice.........cheers.
Alright Now...one of my all time fave licks!
You can repeat yourself as much as you like. Some of us are a bit slow on the uptake😀
Facts.
Many thanks Tom!!!
Nice medley, Buk! TY
Holy flurry of notes at 0:23! Made me jerk my head to see what the heck he did there. Awesome!
Up early this morning ... I was never moved by Les Pauls, it's not for a lack of trying ... I wanted to like them ... but, I think I could sink my teeth into a 335. There's something about the voice of the 335/345/355 that is more expressive to my ear.
Same.
I've never been a PAF/Les Paul guy either. I actually like them with minis and P90's but with a full sized bucker they're too pushy for me. Kind of too much of everything. I love SG's and 335's though.
335's are also way more comfortable.....I know because I have both. SG too is super comfy.

Late to the party but finally ordered the latest in fashion. Thanks Tom and House of Guitars!
For some reason my eye can’t stop watching the cat in the background when he’s playing and seeing if it’s on time. Like when you watch the windshield wipers or a blinker. Check out how perfect he stays on it when he starts Whole Lotta Love.
"The Bukowski of guitar" there's a thousand t-shirt ideas in that alone. 😅
Simply awesome!!
Finally a couple of riffs and licks that I’m able to play along. That was sooo kooool homeskool 🎸
Killer playing and tone as always Tom! Hard to pick a favourite between Wired and Blow by Blow, both amazing albums.

I did wonder if Paul Kossoff was going to make an appearance in Homeskoooooolin' - real BADASS!!
I just searched for this video because I couldn’t remember the damn name of it but I knew it started with Jeff Beck then went into a quick Hendrix riff and then some Zepp and Skynyrd but I finally found it! And it was worth the many, many searches. Took a screen shot so I won’t forget it haha! Man I love this shit!
Damn dude. What a wonderful "garage". Way cool and hats off to you sir.
Holy sheeeeeet! That intro was awesome.
Killer playing man! As always.
That tapping/scratching lick was SICK!
'Project Prog' is awesome and these music/life-lessons/musings, even though you lose me everytime at "say, in the Key of...", are teaching me things I didn't even know I didn't know!
This whole channel is like that part of the gameshow where you've lost, but they rub your nose in it by showing you what you could have won. Instead, we got 'Talentless Idle' etc... Lockdown having these kinds of silver linings was super unexpected.

It took a ton of silica gel and cool dehumidified air to get the moisture level back down to 50% and the belly to go away (kids don't try this at home - do it too fast and the wood will bust on ya). I know you're talking 99% electric and all, but I figured in the hopes of saving someone else the same horror that I had upon opening that case, I'd pass it along.
Tom thanks for your videos. Would you make an instructional guitar maintenance video ?
Thank you. Again
Love the Jeff Beck stuff! I have an old Mobile Fidelity 24K gold half-speed mastered CD of Wired. It’s a prized possession - it sounds like vinyl, but no hiss, cracks or pops. Amazing. But seeing you’re such a prog fan - I’m a drummer - if I ran into to you in town and asked if you wanted to do Heart of the Sunrise, would you…?
Homeskoolin'...no foolin'...you're rulin'! Love me some 'Blue Wind'...one of my favorite Beck tunes.
Thanks for the whole tone lesson. Most helpful.
Non-guitar question - If you can't find Rolling Rocks out and about.. what is your PLAN B fallback beer of choice?
Hell yeah! Before you said anything about Calabash that’s what I was thinking.l Fun stuff that never gets old.
That's a good tip about winter time furnace outlets too close to guitars. I will move my guitars now. I actually used to live in an awful apartment with one furnace outlet. We would sit and practice songs in front of the furnace outlet because it was also very cold and drafty in the apartment. Every time the furnace came on you could literally hear the guitar go out of tune. Try to do a sustaining chord and you could the heat hear twist the guitar out of tune with the warm air Blowing directly on the guitar. My Gibson 1985 335 dot was more sensitive than my fender 1987 Strat plus, but it affected both.
Awesome bro!!! Can you tell us your top 5 favorite albums and guitar players?
I know most of the songs in the opening, but there are a couple I don't, so if anyone wants to drop the first few in there I'll add them to the playlist. Thanks

I guess the question is how would I know what my chord choices would be? I'm a blues player and the 1 4 5 shuffle gets old. I'm memorized by the chords you choose. Thx again.
Tom...can you please talk more on the "art" of rhythm guitar? What you, as a lead, like/dislike from your rhythm player. Thanks!
Lil' Tommy begging for copyright strikes playing all those riffs in the intro! Tread lightly with published tunes, Bro! We need this channel. 😎🤣👍
Love it !
the string skip diminished arpeggio was 100% George Lynch- awesome as always!
That bit at 6:45 was the intro to Stongehenge I think?
Hi Tom, thanks for all these videos. Re vibrato and whammy bar use. How does Lenny by srv fit in your philosophy of vibrato and whammy bar??
Thanks again for the content very helpful i just wanted to axe u a guestion what moveable chord shapes do i need to learn to play more minor blues? . And what scales besides the penatonics should i learn first thanks again for taking the time to do this for us we all love it man stay cool Buk see u soon peace from myrtle bch
dropping Billy Squire at the end, what??????? awesome.
Damn!!Tom...what a Kickoff to my Day.....lol
I don't Want a Reopening if this is what we get everyday!!.....
Quick dumb question.....How can an Old Guy like me play Those Huge Stretch Chords??...
Thank You Sir.
Love the intro!!
Love it Tom! On The kinks theme, are you aware of their song "session man". I think you'll find it quite amusing. Also are there any other British 60s bands you're into, apart from the Stones and Beatles like you mentioned. The Small Faces for example?
Funny - I was just listening to Wired this morning. Great album!
Great stuff. (please look at the lens though! not the playback screen lol)
Woden of the Angles you can do that when you start your own free lesson channel
