Is this with the OXs (OXEN?) In the background Brett? Sounds incredible.

I must add this. Im 61yo with incurable cancer, but that inspired the fk out of me! Trying to cop anything possible. And had a great time playin to you guys. Good to have Guthrie back. Hopefully. And Big T, Forgetaboutit! GC, Beantown

Terrifying isn't it My guitars just looked at me in disgust 🤣

[@BrettPapa]

Lol!

[@jessejacobs3792]

I stopped watching and picked up my guitar

[@Kcapgar]

I know right. Lol. Just when I think. Man I’m really getting comfortable with my hands on the guitar. Getting the tones , the soul and flavors etc. then I see cats like this. And want to throw the guitars in the wood chipper. Lol. It’s all good. Guys like Tom especially. Just gives a guide for us to just be cool

[@jerrybruntonmusic_khaoticm7638]

No doubt, very humbling!

[@nicholasrivelli6917]

20 seconds in and I can already tell this is going to be the best thing I’ve ever seen on KZbin

[@BrettPapa]

Lol! That's how I felt filming it haha! The lesson is killer too!

[@nicholasrivelli6917]

It sure is! Thanks again for getting all these great players in the room. Learned so much from you and the Nashville community over the past couple of years

[@Only1Feckitt]

Exactly how I felt

[@jordandangelo180]

@@BrettPapa the lesson was invaluable. It really was. I studied at a conservatory and took all the classes you could take on ear training and harmony and arranging and theory but just listening to Tom aka Uncle Larry to me…they way he said to forget about progressions and how to use voice leading and as long as it contains one note you could get a familiar phrasing or make it sound like it’s next in line. Plus all the knowledge he gained over the years on how to think like a piano player using intervals and not to think about chords and just use your ears and lead the music forward…man that shit was better than 4 years at a conservatory to me. That’s everything I wanted to learn right there…not all the jazzy shit, which is still amazing and I love it but I really wanted to learn what Larry and Guthrie taught in this video. Thank God for this one…I’m sure many people have been dyin for a lesson like this and will take it and really improve their playing.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

@@jordandangelo180 Well said.

[@davidpepper442]

The first few minutes illustrates exactly why Tom's favorite thing about music is collaboration. He's incredibly creative, but he would never have predicted where Guthrie would go. Two of the best players in the world. Thanks for putting this together Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing David! Glad you liked it. More like this coming soon!

[@Guitargate]

HUGE CONGRATS BRETT. Way to make this happen for us. This is the best guitar thing I've seen on YT in a min!

[@BrettPapa]

Thank ya sir! Appreciate that!

[@ththejackjumper]

I think it's the best one I've ever seen (sorry Michael, lol). Just that explanation of voice leading, I have to play with that.

[@Steve-si8hx]

Its been 2 min for me

[@brushstroke3733]

Agreed, this is amazing! Suggestion for your show: Jimmie Rodgers live, "Waiting for a Train". I had been playing guitar for two decades and could riff and solo around pretty well, but never quite understand how tunes were put together. I could play a few Beatles songs, etc., but it was learning Jimmie Rodgers songs by watching first, then by ear, that seemed to really help me understand how songs are put together. Well, his songs helped me tie together theoretical concepts anyway. The root, four, five chord, the secondary dominant chords, the chords borrowed from parallel minor keys - it's all there in the most basic forms, without so much window dressing that it becomes harder to detect for beginners. Anyway, I love Jimmie Rodgers now and always want to champion his music and keep it alive. Yodelayee!

[@vhollund]

Yes Please do make it a sequence of sessions like that So awesome

[@barefoot-n-blues]

I have come back again to see these two and each time there is something fresh in it. The takeaway is the respect Tom and Guthrie have for each other musically, demonstrating how the whole is greater than the sum of its parts with that one ingredient. A lesson for us all. Thanks Brett

[@projectmoon13]

Tom is the greatest rhythm player that the world will ever see. Since he’s already the greatest lead player that just makes him a double threat.

[@periloustemple8290]

Good lord. Those 2 are scary together. Wow, this level of musicality is overdriving the whole Internet. Love it!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha!

[@stevenbryan7586]

Is there anything that even comes close to this? It's almost a crime that it's free. Absolutely amazing.

[@teddyboy9116]

Free???? Do u not pay for the Internet where you are then??

[@gtr1952]

I'm one of Uncle Larry's older students. Even though I'm 70 and have been playing guitar for 55 years he show's me new things and a different way of looking at playing guitar! He has re-inspired me, and always makes me a better guitar player, and he is an all around great guy! We all just love him to the max!! 8) --gary

[@SuperBuzz71]

I freaking love this comment Uncle Gary. Keep on Keeping on my friend and fellow nephew. Peace and good tone to you sir

[@frannyp46]

gtr1952. Is it possible to get tuition off Larry regarding stringing together non diatonic chords with a common tone? Or does anyone know of any books you can get on this? Thanks.

When people refer to playing music as having a conversation, this is exactly what they mean. Organically playing off each other in a completely musical way that serves the song. No over playing, just music that's good to listen to. Bravo guys!

[@BrettPapa]

Yep they have it down! All about the music around here.

[@PianoDentist]

I love Guthrie's cleanness, precision and tone on the tele and I love Tom's creativity, chords and leading tone vocabulary.

[@MotorCityMax]

Guthrie looked like a 13 year old at his first guitar lesson

[@funkydave76]

Some of this is absolutely ridiculous, tears me apart the hours I've spent practicing, studying, learning & repeat for 35 years knowing I'll never be close to being this musical and fluid. On the other had, gives me so much joy to watch these 2 masters of the craft

[@BrettPapa]

Don't forget this is 30 plus years for each of these guys playing 10 hours a day. You got this! Just have fun and do you!

[@funkydave76]

“I don’t know anything about music….yeah just use I-IV-V triads and just create a melody. Whatever no big deal.” Basically how Mozart played just did not have to think.

Love watching that smile pop up on Guthrie's face at Tom's playing. There's so much good stuff here to go back and study, from both these artists.

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah that happened a bunch I had to make sure I let you all see it a few times at least.

[@2Fat2Skate]

‘Buk has got to be one of the only guitar players that can really push Guthrie out into the deep water. Guthrie is such a master at soloing melodically / harmonically and you can tell that Buk’s throwing him changes he’s not used to - and when he nails it with the right phrase Buk immediately responds with “Yeah!” Great vid Papa.

[@BrettPapa]

Guthrie nails anything he is thrown into. I've seen him play so many times and he always keeps right up with the best of them.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

[@charlierockwoodfarr2682]

I think Tom has every melody and lick that ever has and will exist in his head and can transform that, at will, to the guitar !! Never the same lick or phrase!

Yeah Guthrie is an awesome human. One of my favorites!

In my dreams (and only in my dreams) I play just like this. Dreams yes, but here they are, right here

[@BrettPapa]

Yep they are pretty freakin amazing!

[@richardclark.]

Both these guys are real deal. Not just players but real, period. The joy in Tom's face gets me everytime. He would play if he had to get hit in the head with a hammer and give you a thousands bucks for every song and count himself lucky.

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

I can’t imagine some of the guitar heroes of my youth doing this- some of them would even go out of their way so you couldn’t figure out what they’re playing. Here’s these monsters putting it all out for all to see and enjoy! Thanks guys, this was great

[@chrislestermusic]

Here’s the thing. When Tom said he got brutalized on his channel for shredding, those people just don’t like anything fast. When you’re as musical as Tom is, playing fast isn’t a bad thing because it’s still musical. I love Tom’s shredding/faster playing because it’s still tasty. He doesn’t become unmusical because it’s fast. That’s just stupid.

[@BrettPapa]

Agreed!

[@richardclark.]

I agree. That was ridiculous. Tom just plays whatever comes out. He doesn't go into to a free form thinking he is gonna shred. Guaranteed he can smoke any of the complainers in any style of music after a 12 pack of rolling rock.
