Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “The Bryan And Larry Show”

[@iantaylor827]

About 12 weeks in to Bryan's course now. Partly coming to it from the wisdom he imparted on Homeskoolin - figuring even though I'm not a bluegrass diehard I could badly use the deep stuff Bryan can teach. It's been way more than I could have expected. The amount of material, the way it progresses, and the quality of it is just astonishing. Highly, highly recommended.

[@Rybanez120]

Also in the AW class! Couldn’t agree more.

[@BobbyCulpepper.srv3fender]

Where you already a decent player to start? I've thought about trying Bryan's course, I already did Guthries, but I didn't get much out of it

[@iantaylor827]

@@BobbyCulpepper.srv3fenderI'd say I was an intermediate player. Bryan's course splits into Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Improv. I'm into the Intermediate stuff now but spent a fair bit of time in Basic - there's a lot of important stuff there and my right-hand flatpicking was pretty non-existent. I did the 30-day intro just to make sure I'd like it - I get paid in Australian pesos so everything US$ costs - then went to 1 year.

You are the best channel that ever happened to music

[@MezzMcGillicuddy1]

Some great points made here. Whenever I go to a bluegrass session, I only bring my 50 watt Marshall stack, I leave my 100-watter at home. There’s no “you” in bluegrass.

[@sergeymarchenko6252]

I don’t comment often and I imagine there a lot of guys like me who feel this way. These videos are amazing and deeply insightful. Thank you Tom

[@burroughs334]

"I got invited to leave on a session..." made me laugh pretty hard. Good stuff. I could listen to you guys talk for hours.

[@1950s_Guitar]

This is why we watch this channel. You can't get this kind of insight anywhere else.

[@jamzon335]

I had the pleasure of meeting Bryan a few weeks back in Nashville - just a chance meeting at a show he and I both attended. As expected, he was very nice, and graciously spent a few minutes chatting with me. When I told him how much I enjoyed the Homeskoolin' episodes that featured you guys at work, he smiled and said "Buk is a Good Dude and an amazing talent". Hard to argue with that. I looked at signing up for Bryan's lessons, but just haven't pulled the trigger. This sealed the deal. Thanks again.

[@adlantian6334]

Each of your and Bryan's personalities feels like the personification of electric and acoustic guitars. Great separately but even better together.

[@TRHummer]

It's a privilege to be a fly on the wall while you two talk: masters both. Respect, homage, and thanks!

[@syfman6]

Love the Supertramp at the end of the video!! 💚🎸

[@gregring895]

Love that song! Not the most radio played Skynyrd but one of my favorites. I'm just like you Baby😅

[@soulSaysHi]

Holy crap. That nugget about eq with fader down is fantastic. I just want to thank you for everything you’ve giving us. I truly cherish it.

[@gitarmats]

So cool to hear discussions like this.

[@michael_crean]

Doesn’t get any better than these two. Thanks Tom!

[@j1p1a1]

YESSSS!!! w What a great episode. Tom, I can't remember which episode it was, but way back you said "if you can't hear your guitar, IT'S THE WRONG SOUND!" I think about that every day, recording or playing live. One of the best pieces of wisdom you've shared. Thanks, Larry

[@Vintage_375]

10/10 - Thanks for uploading this.

[@damiancafarella4086]

I’m on the Bryan artistworks course…..must say, I work full time as a musician here in Australia, but it’s definitely worth starting at the beginner stage of the course….just getting those basics down, or even revising some of it….I’m 8 lessons in and haven’t learned a piece yet, but I’m getting a lot out of it, and my sound is significantly better! There is great advice in every corner of that course.

[@HarvestBreedmusic]

Same here. Working musician and I can't stress enough how much I've learned from his basic course. Watching his video responses is amazing too.

[@jasonodell79er]

Dang. This is special. Thanks, for doing this stuff, with the things.

[@RipVDub]

Doctor, the insight on this one is off the chart! Thanks to Bryan for approaching you in need of content. ABL - Always Be Learning! Always appreciated.

[@frejwestberg]

Love these informal sessions! Could watch this for hours on end.

Priceless. Bryan is a gem and your friendship is so palpable. Great class!

[@jitsroller]

You played music in a past life that's how it was so easy for you and I didn't that's why it's taken me literally 30 years. ; ) Love ya Unc.

[@philf4086]

G'day uncle Larry. Cheers for your continued homeskoolin' from oz 🍻

[@nikolaibarbarich7887]

Hello fellow Aussie !

[@bldallas]

Great conversation! I’m a big fan of both y’all. The part when you got into frequencies and the volume of the guitar in a mix, is fascinating. I’ve played since I was 10 (1972), but never been in anything more than a “garage band,” back in high school. So I’m generally always playing by myself. Thru the years, I’ve become less in favor of midrange tones and I therefore play most of the tune in the bridge pup or a blend. I also dip my mids on my tube amps. Love that tone. Since Christmas, I’ve been playing most of genuine thru my Spark Mini (awesome gift from my wife). I really dig all the options for playing along to my favorite songs, backing tracks, etc. BUT, it’s dawned on me that the preset tones I’ve created, while sounding killer by themselves, get totally lost between the bass guitar and drums. So I’ve been turning up the guitar volume to hear myself play. At some point, though, it doesn’t sound “musical.” So after my first watch of this video, and some other Home Schoolin’ episodes, I started pulling up my middle and switching to bridge or bridge/ middle, depending on the guitar. ***LIGHT BULB MOMENT***. I can now clearly hear my guitar WITHIN THE MIX, vs having to be on top of it. So cool! So thanks! I’m an old dog, but I keep learning new tricks, thanks to shows like this. Please, to the both of you, keep doin what your doin! 🤓🎸👍

[@rylieriley]

This is really good stuff. I've got to admit, I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed it a whole lot.

"Good timing is not necessarily good groove" thanks for that. It's good to hear someone else say it.

[@guitareveryone]

Loved this Uncle Larry! Very informative!

[@ronrayson7693]

What an album that would make with those two amazing players!

[@veljkosimovic2302]

The analogy of driving a car and playing guitar is just great. It perfectly explains the situation when you control what you play, but also listen to other musicians and letting the music and instrument drive you. That balance is hard to achieve to be perfect, but when you do it's just a feeling that's hard to describe. Thanks a lot for this. :)

[@grgdavis2]

The most insightful, music oriented channel on the 'tube...#fact. Feeling blessed to have clicked on this content bac in 2020. Masterful...

[@Thirsty_Deer_Studio]

Uncle Larry I love what you said about hearing the guitar in the mix without raising the volume, but using EQ. Thar concept immediately becomes clear when you start recording. I love finding that space too. It's challenging and also you find out alot about your playing. Great video...😎🎸

[@moody_chords]

God Bless Uncle Larry, a gift to humanity!!! Also God Bless Bryan!!!

[@buzzfretwear2906]

Bryan seems like such a genuine dude and incredibly talented musician. I can't play a single bluegrass tune but I’ve always loved the sounds and I’ve admired the musicianship. I was already aware of Bryan before I started watching Tom's channel but as I’ve gotten to know him more I’ve started to give serious thought to taking his course.

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT CONTENT…….SUCH PROFOUND WISDOM INDEED !!!!!!!! 😊👍🎸👍😊

[@kipmarchetti6123]

Oh man … they are gonna love this at artist works … I did about 3 years over there in Bryan’s class mostly because he’s my flat picking hero and I just wanted to have some kind of access to his wisdom and talent. He’s a natural teacher and just so damn good. I learned a lot but I was just so tense all the time I couldn’t hang any longer. It is so much fun to see you two guys talking and teaching. Thanks … this was a real treat.

[@h.i.5333]

Thanks Uncle Larry, this is beyond inspirational for me!!!✌️

What a fantastic interview. Just when I think I need to practice more i’m reminded to be better at listening. It’s not always easy to remember that constant sound is just noise. Music is created be adding space to noise.

[@thejames9681]

Thanks y'all-very informative! The concept of "what's the least amount of notes I can play on this" is something I'm trying to learn. It's fascinating to me that even when the skill levels increase, making music still involves trial and error and achieving undefinable moments where everything is "right".
