Homeskoolin’ Special Treat…Bryan Sutton

[@alexanderbprice]

Don't think I've ever heard a player talk about being in service to the instrument and the sounds it can produce. What a beautiful and profound perspective.

[@CGDGCD]

Bryan is the intersection of artist and intellectual. Could listen to him just noodle for days.

[@heres_johnny9151]

Good Lord Larry. Pure humility, generosity, and unscripted genius with you guys. 100% genuine and Zero hubris. Thank you lads

[@gitarmats]

What an incredible touch he has. Every note he plays sounds like a million bucks.

[@guitarzan2201]

Love Bryan's playing and his wisdom as well. Thank you Tom.

[@reggieupchurch1258]

This is probably my favorite episode with a guest. Brian is truly a real blessing to the ears and obviously wonderful to work with. Thanks so so much for sharing this uncle Larry.

[@calebbhawkins]

I wish Bryan would just make more KZbin videos like this himself. Sure I know he has Artist Works but these candid things are so cool. Plus those three guitars just sound KILLER!

[@williams.1130]

Feels like stealing getting so much wisdom that took a man a lifetime of playing with and for musical giants to learn. And we get it for free. Thats the way its felt since the first home schoolin episode. Thank you Tom and Bryan for the kindness yall show total strangers. You guys are the musical giants of today.

[@StanleyCullerEsq.]

I ended watching this twice: Once, to listen to the Bryan’s playing… and then a second time to listen to your conversation. Every time Bryan began playing everything else became white noise! I am so grateful for how often my jaw drops, watching you all play.

[@Marcus_C51]

"Did you ever go through an Ovation stage? "killed me Tom! Too funny, the comedy never stops! So wonderful to hear Bryan's wisdom about acoustics, thanks so much!

[@mt-nv4jd]

Mr. Campbell got a lot out of those round boxes...

[@da324]

@@mt-nv4jd Yep, imagine how he would have sounded with a vintage Martin or Gibson.

[@johnmac333]

I have an Ovation - phenomenal action , wonderful resonance , just a bit heavy is all.

[@jaysgaming3797]

@@johnmac333I’ve got a couple of old Ovations and a Adamas. Absolutely love em.

[@rockers2rockers616]

Yes I heard the question, however Sutton seemed to sidestep giving a reply. A private joke among pros.

[@Brianemersonpt]

How cool to see Bryan play Daley's Reel close up like that! So clean and so effortless, he is an absolute treasure.

[@shepherd8203]

Love the brotherhood of great musician , no egos just common love for music.

[@ricardosotosan2279]

That 000-18 style guitar sounds amazing

[@Josh-ix2ot]

Yes!!! He's the man! Two legends right there bro

[@newmanana]

That Bryan is a beautiful cat. What a great sound he gets from those guitars. Thanks for bringing us along Buk

[@cenesq]

Bryan Sutton always amazes me, in that he plays incredibly complex pieces, and does so without looking at his hands, without making a "guitar playing face," and in fact, with a general look of boredom. Just an incredible player with total mastery of his instrument. I could listen to him talk and play all day long... just like Uncle Larry! Thanks dear Uncle for sharing your friends and colleagues with us Homeskoolers!

[@superjay42]

I just recently saw Bryan with Bela's "Bluegrass Heart" band, and everyone on stage except Sierra Hull was like that! She brought a lot of energy and exuberance - all these players are at the top of the game but they're so good and so relaxed they almost look bored. Michael Cleveland got into it a bit too but Sierra's enthusiasm was infectious. Guys like Bela and Bryan can rip off the most brilliant, complex shit in the world and make it look so effortless, like it's just another Tuesday. LOL

[@gregoryguarneri8473]

Info is this video is PURE GOLD! Thank you

[@stringlocker]

You are a great interviewer. Your genuine curiosity comes forth.

[@eastsideeddie]

Man, I love "shop talk" videos by people at this level that have such a cerebral perspective of music. Sunday night Tom again mentioned that when moving chord to chord to keep one note of the original chord as you move to the next. After watching that I sat at a keyboard and picked a random note (it happened to be G) and started playing chords, keeping that constant G, and writing down what I found. And after all these years of just "playing" and many years of "book learning", I was shocked to actually list the chords and note how many had that G in it. When you figure in diminished and augmented, flatted 5th chords, 6ths, 9ths... One note is in a LOT of chords. And THAT is why I love this channel. It's not just a "listening to music" channel. It's a "thinking about music" channel. As I went through college I was taught all of this stuff, but now as an older man with a lot of playing experience since the classroom years, those same concepts mean something different and deeper. Lovin' it! And hey, Tom, do you have a new discreet mailing address for fans to send you stuff?

[@Sammywhat]

Bryan is a treasure! A perfect gentleman. That Daley's Reel was crazy beautiful. Thanks for the share, Tom!! And thank God for Bryan Sutton!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@hughscully]

Thanks Uncle Larry for being so kind to share this interview with your friend Bryan with us. Wow., what a treat.

[@rockinran]

I gotta say that it was a cleanest Acoustic guitar sound I've ever heard. Kudos to Bryan and thank you Tom for bringing that one to us kids...

[@kevinafflack]

I could listen to Bryan playing and you interviewing these beasts all day long! Very inspiring. Thx!

Awesome Tom buddy a great series of questions ! and thanks Bryan for the extensive shared knowledge ! love the Homeskoolin' studio vlogs!

[@richardgleichmann7671]

This is my first time seeing a "Home School'n" video... This is priceless...🎶❤

[@chamber32doors]

That up close shot was awesome. The way his hand is so relaxed was an eye opener

[@davidgiroux5228]

This is by far the best music channel on the tube.

[@2dazetake]

One of the best descriptions of how an acoustic guitar works, that I've have ever heard, a wealth of knowledge and a phenomenal player, Brian rocks.

[@carole8312]

Absolutely. Completely agree.

[@jesusyto]

Puff, I love this man. His playing is so natural & smooth 🍃… with him you can understand what’s the meaning of “mastery”

[@robOntario]

Bryan’s playing is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this moment with us all Uncle Larry!

[@mojo6778]

What a special treat it was seeing Bryan Sutton, quite the skilled player! Uncle Larry never fails to deliver something special!

[@nickspann20]

Best guitar content out there. I could listen to a 3 hr podcast like this (open conversation style).

[@tommyraper3895]

Thanks so much for this lLittle Tommy! Bryan is my favorite current flatpicker, he is so talented and pleasant to listen to, met him once at a festival in Farmers Branch, Texas. I was definitely more excited to meet him than he was to meet me! But he was a trooper and put up with me...

[@LeLilley1]

I love Brian and his playing. Acoustic guitars totally ROCK!!

[@StarlightGuitars]

25 minutes of pure guitar gold. Thank you Bryan and Uncle Larry.

[@iantaylor827]

Started Bryan's Artistworks course after hearing him talk about music and playing in your interviews with him. The course is deep, technically brilliant and generous. Thanks for all the skoolin Tom. It's a wonderful channel.

[@williamriggin2803]

Zen and the art of Bryan Sutton. Thank you guy's.. absolutely amazing.

[@Dgarig665]

Nice! Mr Sutton had made many an otherwise intolerable day okay! Thanks for having him on, and thanks to him for being on. Y'all rock hard and kick ass (the second being extremely important, I'm assured by those in the know. )

[@michaelrowe8826]

I saw Bryan with Bela Fleck 2 weeks ago. Man o man what an amazing evening. Great to see and hear Bryan live. Thanks Uncle Larry for getting him on the show. Such a treat for the class.

[@stratmagic6893]

These 2 gentlemen are national treasures 🤑 We are so fortunate to be able hear some amazing music and get a free peek into their world 🌎.

[@lpjbird]

WOW uncle Larry that was special...got more outa that than I care to admit...Thank You...that deserves a Rolling Rock no doubt!

[@J_Fowler]

I cannot believe how lucky I am to be able to 'sit in' and listen to uncle larry and Bryan freakin Sutton talk about music and guitar. absolutely awesome. thank you uncle Larry!!

[@fiveeyes2802]

I loved this Uncle Larry! Bryan seems like such a down-to-earth and lovely spirit. I love his playing, his tone, and his thoughtful reflection on an instrument we all love so deeply. He is a living legend. It is such a pleasure to listen to him talk and play. Thank you! Thank you!

[@backlineguy]

...reminds me of a line from a Ricky Skaggs song..." there's beauty I can only see, through the eyes of someone else"...Tom, folks like yourself and Bryan, you guys bring a beauty to the rest of us that only you can create...that is ALWAYS a special treat...thank you.

[@terrydavis8957]

I didn’t hear him say…but is that PWG a 00 or 000 body size? Sounds amazing!

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

just when I think you've done your best interview, you add a video like this. What a treasure!

[@kellywendlandt3940]

That was a master class moderated by 2 of the best on the planet. Thank you Tom and Brian.

[@danieljohnson6817]

A wonderful interview and thank you for capturing Uncle Larry. Sutton playing Charles Sawtelle’s guitar made this one of the best videos!

[@peterhbg]

Thank you for sharing Bryan! I feel privileged.

[@kengoodman7719]

Bryan has ALL KINDs of talent too, uncle! No doubt he has taken acoustic guitar playing to a scientific level, beyond just his musicianship! Awesome stuff as always! He makes it come to life. God Bless!

[@Jerrylumdegaard]

“Expands the mind, sort of like a session with Uncle Larry” bahahah. Love it. I really loved Bryan’s insights on acoustics and resonance. And what playing. Amazing.

[@niguel4438]

Brilliant session Tom and Brian. Fascinated how Brian doesn’t anchor his palm when picking notes. I’m going to try that and the arm angles he mentioned. Many thanks.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

I learned that technique playing classic guitar.Freed up my playing.

[@JohnCoughlan_JAC]

This was amazing! Bryan is an absolute MONSTER. He reminds me of good ol’ uncle Larry when he plays in that he’s doing everything so naturally it looks effortless. That opens him up to be super expressive and musical in his playing. You keep good company, Uncle Larry. Thanks for sharing!

[@erajad]

SO GOOD. Thanks, Bryan, for talking to the 'skoolers. Thanks, Tom, for conducting such a great, illuminating interview. Or was it a conversation? Yeah....

[@genephillips4809]

I just love how he's having a typical conversation without even looking at the neck while he plays... And plays incredibly!

[@Tigerslam327]

Thumbs up times a million! What a super dude and guest lecturer! Love to you all!

[@leechild4655]

Great show Tom! And great guest Bryan Sutton. Its always a treat to have two pros talk shop. We all learn some cool stuff. Thx!

Second time round this just gets better. Thanks so much Tom. Bryan put into words why i love acoustic guitar. Great questions to a brilliant guy.

[@vedranbaotic]

Anytime I get to watch Bryan Sutton talk into the camera is a real treat. I must have watched your previous video with him about 10 times. He's a goldmine!

[@Electromeo07]

Thank you Uncle Larry! The Richness of knowledge you bring on your channel is priceless. Love how it's not just about you...You always bring other artists on your channel to teach about really important concepts and perspectives on different instruments and real life music.

[@thestringthing1]

Uncle Larry, wow. This vid again totally blows my mind. Hard to describe how valuable these are as I am a longtime acoustic nerd. I have been stuck in my own playing routines for years but every time I watch these vids my mind and head open up and boom, I feel super motivated and try to push the limits, learn that sh#*¥. Thanks for the input, honestly I think I have been waiting for your channel for a looooong time. What a gift.

[@allpdmusic]

I'm sorry I've slept on Bryan all these years....That dude is so freaking good. Such pure, beautiful tone. Thanks for this video!

[@namesarehard88]

I've re-watched this so many times. What a player!

[@iaindouglas8077]

Absolutely wonderful. What a thoughtful and extraordinarily talented man.

[@Tubedriver42]

my thoughts exactly

[@kevinseversonandhisvizslas8287]

🫶 depurada tecnica, pletro, dedos, armonia... tremendo!

[@DNFADV]

This is fantastic. What a treat. Thanks Tom

[@stephaneclaveau9736]

Amazing acoustic player !!!

[@DavinSeamon]

Uncle Larry, I saw Bryan Sutton play a soggy, free outdoor show with Bela Fleck on Friday evening in Morgantown, WV. To be honest, Bryan was much more of a factor in dragging my tired, middle-aged ass out to this show than Bela was. Thanks so much for introducing the Homeskoolin' family to Bryan on your channel. He did not disappoint!

[@philf4086]

I'm convinced that bluegrass musicians have the best acoustic skills - by far. Great video!

[@h.i.5333]

I can’t get enough of this!!✌️

[@tuib]

I'm just glad to be here. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

[@skidrowe68]

Lots of mutual respect between these two cats! Love this channel, thanks Uncle Buk!

[@CurranKevin]

[@michaelnc4450]

Good stuff, thanks Tom and Bryan for your time!!!! 🙂👍

[@eugenekelley5348]

That picking and guitars are great sounding . That was a cool natural modulation sound he got his acoustic ! I’ve never heard that before thanks guys

[@philipptress6024]

maestro. pure Gold

[@michael.darrin1963]

Thank you...Thank you, the wealth of knowledge that you both share is incredible, I went and grabbed my acoustic and started playing some chords and used Bryan's technique of using the forearm to give the guitar a different type of effect...wow, so cool. You guys are the best, keep up the great work Tom, and your solo CD, Plexi Soul is a great listen

[@guitareveryone]

That’s awesome man. How I wish I could play with such smoothness and proper right hand technique like that. Great players like Bryan make it look so obtainable. Thanks for sharing Uncle Larry.

[@woodyboley9785]

This here is the two best guitar players on Earth. Truly humbling.

[@benbauer9540]

Thank you for this, and all of your videos - it means a lot to a 44 year old falling back in love with guitar like he was back in 8th grade or so. Much love, my friend.

[@Noodleboy56]

What a great time to tune in. Thanks Unca Larry and Mr Sutton.

[@illinimdg]

Bryan has been my favorite acoustic guitarist ever since Thile's Not All Who Wander Are Lost. Wolfcreek Pass blew my mind, and I still go back to that song on the regular and just smile. Saw him with Bela back in November, and it was magical. All the love and appreciation for what you guys do for our souls!

[@greyguy9767]

What can I s as y. WHAT An ACOUSTIC picker. one of the cleanest and most musical on the planet.

[@MikeSealguitar]

Great interview. There are so many layers to Bryan’s playing. Homage to history whilst blazing new trails. Supreme understanding of the physics of the instrument. And his chord work and voice-leading while they are casually talking is a master class in its own right.

[@RBZ3]

Love Bryan’s playing and wisdom. Thanks

[@Adventuresingearland]

I wonder how long it would take a mortal teacher to impart the amount of knowledge this 25 minutes has given us? Conceivably a month or minute based on learning experiences I've endured in the UK. Thank you both for sharing - remarkably enlightening.
