Homeskoolin' Bonus Jam, "Calamari"

[@chrisbrowning6102]

That bend around the 2:08 mark is like Uncle Larry's equivalent of seeing how slow he can get the plane to fly without it falling out of the sky. Lovely stuff.

[@hughle2579]

Amos Garrett like !❤️❤️❤️

[@joshellyson]

Uncle Larry there are so many things we have learned from you. But one of the things i most value is that your music, your melodies have motion, take the listener somewhere along they way, and you do that with great use of space, interesting intervals...in short, your music is "musical" which always makes me want to listen more. And its changing the way i play too. A million thanks.

[@dancher7640]

A week or so you mentioned an off hand list of players you had high regard for, then at 2:08, there it is; Amos Garrett. He lives in Alberta, tours a bit,and has lead the house band at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival for decades, backing up performers and jamming at side stages. He’d be surprised by the nod from you Uncle Larry! Thanks for the morning soundtrack to my day.

[@bigpat13]

Did I hear “the lick” at 3:48 ?!?! Tom, you sly dog…love it.

[@stevesmith2285]

Here, There, and Everywhere with Uncle Larry That could be the title of your next album where you simply record about 12 of your favorite bonus jams like this one. Thanks again for your inspiration!

[@timgant7141]

And that my friend is why you and Guthrie make such a good match up. Hope you guys do some gigs together, love both ya'lls playing.

[@gregmock6808]

That loop had a real "Sting" vibe to it...great driving music!

[@vpovince1001]

BOY !! You just keep out doing yourself with pure class. Please please please put this on an album so we can hear it in all it’s gorgeous glory !!

[@burroughs334]

This vamp is so regenerative in its surprise and awesomeness. Really nice feeling. Like smearing discrete globs of acrylic paint back and forth and together with a paint knife

[@aobyungcp4330]

You have not only became my go to guitar/gear channel but you have inspired me to not stop until I’m no longer able to play!! This music is what I long for I was feeling blue and this sent me from my walk to my guitar to better hone my craft Such a generous Human being and a you have my allegiance forever

[@501chorusecho]

Thank you bro I appreciate that

[@gr500music6]

Cool vibe! If that were a track on Blow By Blow, it would sound right at home.

[@SergioAureo]

The ever amazing feeling of a story being told whenever I listen to your playing, Tom. The way the ideas blend into one another and evolve is stunning. There’s always a sense of conversation between the musical phrases through the piece of music. Inspirational, indeed.

[@tedgay8427]

That was the best thing I've heard in a while. Thanks, that actually elevated my mood. Bravo! Health and happiness everybody!

[@OwensDrumming]

I could watch this all day. Pure mastery of the instrument! Unbelievable playing (as always)

[@nickthewulf]

Hey Tom, no one on earth plays like you do. Thank you forever.

[@forestgreenman]

BEST JAM LOOP EVER! But seriously folks.................. this is some awesome stuff! Thanks Tom!

[@kerwoodspruce]

What a lucky bunch of Homeskoolers! A magical elixir for improving our playing, while the world is also made a better place, hopefully long after the final note is played. Thank you, Tom, and thank you fellow Homeskoolers.

[@bvs5164]

Another jam for the new CD I hope. A keeper! Waitresas more wine please...

[@BartDietvorst]

Sounds like a 70's movie; I love it! Cheers, Billy Blow.

[@tobe2056]

Lar on a tear! Sweet jeezus! And you say you don't play fusion? What do you call that sir!? Killin'!

[@dkpedals]

Oh hell yeah! So many questions...Just outstanding playing and that chord at 3:07! Fah Q! Made me tingle.

[@reiddillashaw2383]

Perfect jam for a Wednesday morning. Any morning, really. Thanks, Tom.

[@lo-fiplucker128]

Beautiful, Tom. You demonstrate yet again how heartstrings are pulled sans lyrics. Tears of joy…beautiful. Thank you!

[@Nikthetrip]

uncle larry with the SG, such a treat

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤ I just had that exact same thought

[@stringlocker]

Perfect Color

[@JasonShort-se7lw]

I’ve never commented on a video in my life before but how can you not after watching this, it’s almost like I’m compelled to tell the world how much I love your playing almost as much as I am compelled to listen to it! Your the man uncle Larry, unbelievable actually, while I’m typing I also feel kinda compelled to say your the only person alive who can actually speak in the 3rd person about themselves and come off as cool as fuck so keep up the great work brother cause everything you play, and say really is exactly what we want to listen to even if we don’t know it until we hear it which is a very special thing!

[@Sammywhat]

This is a gold mine of instruction, and inspiration. Ol' Uncle Larry being the generous Uncle that he is.

[@darrenbrooks8542]

Where’s my beach, sea breeze and beer? Lovely stuff Tom. Top shelf. Cheers!🍻

[@timchalmers1700]

The man is full of surprises. Beautiful !!

[@Sean_Plays_Guitar]

Well that was a smooth ass way to slide on into my Wednesday. Thanks for lightening the load a little bit this mornin!

[@kylewitsil9344]

Tom I just want to say I really appreciate you keeping the channel as is I’m sure that you’ve had plenty of opportunities to commercialize this channel and turn it into something that’s not so unique really appreciate what you do man keep up the good work. By the way you mentioned you were a coffee and cream guy I wonder if you’ve ever tried heavy whipping cream I haven’t been able to go back to the half and half lol 🤘🏼

[@michaelruiz3167]

I just jammed that with you on my 50's Squire Tele. WE sounded good together. I'm going to go over it a couple more times, that was inspirational.

[@koho]

Just listened to Mr. P.C. this afternoon. Classic simple minor blues with Coltrane's amazing improvs all over it. And I am enjoying this just as much. What is happening??

[@501chorusecho]

Who is Mr pc?

[@koho]

@@501chorusecho Paul Chambers (Trane’s bass player).

[@scottruffner7744]

That taste jam makes me feel like I'm watching the intro to a 60's tv show like Route 66. Check it out. It's the same vibe. That was awesome.

[@Warner532]

Just listened to your wonderful take of “Ram On” and then this smooth beautiful instrumental. You got me floating in the clouds this morning. Thank you from Milwaukee !

[@indeedindeed]

Man, this is exactly what I needed this morning: appreciate the pick-me-up. Cheers and happy Wednesday, man

[@gbarge4]

I love it when you have the day off.

[@jimyesjim6314]

Great way to start the day, Thx Uncle Larry!!

[@joebill663]

This is really good playing man!! You're a music machine!

[@L1NEKER]

Sounds like King Crimson, Steve Reich... so good, Tom. ♥ Cheers, from Brazil!

[@TheDarinAmes]

Hey Buko! Love this loop. Kinda shades of Fagen in there sprinkled with a little Blow By Blow. As always, your note choices are impeccable. You the man! Your pal in Boston, Darin

[@gtr1952]

Amazing UL!! Anything you play turns out awesome! I just can't get the jazz thing. 8( --gary

[@MichaelAntus]

Always interesting, never boring...

[@stratcat9432]

Absolutely beautiful playing Unc! ❤

[@trentwaterman7049]

Very cool change, love the dominant 7 on the second chord! Was expecting the usual maj7.

[@DonWinters-l3b]

Thanks for giving us your time and talent. You are truly an inspiring musician!!!!

[@spence8206]

Cool jam!! Thanks Uncle Larry aka Rollie Buko :-)

[@thefraish2660]

Really nice. Sets an amazing mood.Makes me feel like I'm riding a camel through the desert. Kind of reminds me of the modal compositions of masters like Herbie Hancock and Freddie Hubbard, like "Cantaloupe Island", or "Little Sunflower". Sending aloha from Hawaii, dearest Tom.

[@petedunning_SG]

Riding the wire beautifully per usual, man....that SG is my fav! Bless you.

[@rtortortorto]

The soundtrack of my life Tom….. convertible…sun…wind blowing’…. No phone…. Perfect Vibe

[@scottshand8559]

Sweet toss to some jazz there Uncle Larry, sounds great brother!

[@dragonsage6909]

Beautiful, like King Crimson kind of but really sweetly accented.. thx :)

[@philroselle1514]

Man that was too cool! What a great vibe to be driving in a car with this on!

[@abnerlook3869]

Thanks

[@MattE174]

Love the groove it's got a Tom Misch vibe!!

[@jasonwilcox6334]

Jazzy guy today !! Love ya work bro :-)

[@blonk333]

Bends, phrasing, and chordally nutritious. Oh my!

[@hughle2579]

Love this track uncle Larry ! Greetings from Canberra Australia. 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥

[@boblewis902]

Very tasty Uncle Lar. And bendy too. Suits my mood this morning just perfectly. Carry on.

[@JakeBlues-dq9xg]

Sounding a little jazz curious here Uncle Buk 😎

[@bigwavedave8492]

Thanks, Uncle Larry needed this today

[@thelawnmowertapes]

Conjures up a sultry Southern night with a storm on the horizon.

[@thelawnmowertapes]

Reminiscent of Satriani's Echo ala Andy Summers. Thanks uncle. Killin'!

[@ericmcgee323]

Great stuff!

[@brianolson_music]

Love da’ diamonds- so good

[@rosskirkes5470]

So cool! So James Bond-y, and kind of Sponge Bob-by! Love it!

[@skeenj]

Lord, those Bends! Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@supermotorcat]

The bonusest of jams

[@Seastone84]

Fried, of course. At it again with the special sauce. Thanks Uncle Larry

[@501chorusecho]

@@teddyboy9116 teddy......tough day at work yesterday?

[@missopowers]

This is very nice, Tom. I think Bill Frisell would like it too. Thanks!

[@dennydabbs9272]

What a Cool vibe.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I particularly like how you use a clean tone, no hint of 'hair' - some of those bends remind me of Amos Garret, very swell blo thru the changez UL

[@mjs2016]

Thanks Uncle Larry!

[@marioalberto8529]

I love to go and fish them!!! Cheers from Galicia

[@bloosier]

Hey Tom, thanks for keeping the videos going. My 4 year old is now getting Uncle Larry and his real uncle (my brother) mixed up all the time. Not sure if that’s good or bad lol!

[@alhawaritalbi6371]

Very soulful! Peace man!

[@averagefreeloader178]

This some beautiful shit man ❤️

[@guitardave3028]

Thanks tom for showing the importance of tasteful application of notes instesd of constant blind shredding a barrage of notes. Very tasteful...kudos to you...

[@lloydloar1]

The chord progression sounds like something off of Pink Floyd's Animals. Love it!

[@L1NEKER]

like King Crimson

[@rocketguy2]

Really digging the thirds....so melodic!

[@michaelhylemon1073]

I love the joy you exude when you play. As you talked about yesterday, you have made me a better band mate understanding to be in the mix rather than having to be heard all the time. Question, when you are playing are you subconsciously thinking triad shapes?

[@davidturner9266]

The orchestration of music that's in your head must be endless even without leather pants

[@centralscrutinizer5616]

out on main st riff ... iconic

[@stratsouldier]

Can’t wait for my copy of Plexi Soul to get here! Btw, Guitar House of Tulsa needs some praise on the quick turnaround time. Ordered yesterday afternoon and already have tracking. It’s the small wins….

[@markdebiase47]

You’re creative phrasing and melodic movement is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@tadmorrison]

Lovely, as per usual. Thanks

[@DNFADV]

The colors! Thanks man.

[@MsLuke56]

Soooo sweeeet Tommy

[@JasminBellavance_Music]

Been listening to "The Lamb lies down" these days. Very dark and heavy for Genesis. Perso, I love it! Have you seen "The musical Box" the tribute to Genesis that does all the old Genesis tour as is...costumes, setlist, instruments...everything. They are amazing!

[@501chorusecho]

you realize you are talking to the biggest Genesis fan in North America right?

[@JasminBellavance_Music]

@@501chorusecho 😅 Yeah...sorry about that!

[@stringlocker]

I was kidnapped and taken to a Genesis concert in 1973 against my will. The theater had a balcony and Gabriel flew down from the balcony I'm assuming there was a wire there. Then the acid kicked in.

[@JimFothergill]

Guitar porno this beautiful morn!!!! Thank u!!❤

[@dwaynejessome1728]

de bears. and raise a a glass Bill Swerski's Super Fans - classic stuff - some pretty sweet playing there Uncle Larry

[@gnawbabygnaw]

So inspiring. 🤙🤙

[@henchmusic5878]

That's a wonderful jam. I always suspected you were a closet bossa nova fan. Would love to have heard you with Jobim and Gilberto--which raises a question: Do you look to horn or sax players for soloing ideas? Keep up the wonderful work and enjoy your days off.

[@BradB-h9y]

Big props to your friends at Guitar House of Tulsa. I ordered a Plexi-Soul CD this morning at 6 and it shipped out before noon. How about pressing some LPs?

[@mboykin6047]

What a master!

[@hampyonce]

Straight to the "saved" music category...

Da Bears! Cheers Tom!!
