Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Right Hand”

[@CO_Sparty]

One of the top 5 Uncle Larry / Homeskoolin quotes… “Cause when I play it, it sounds like a guy from Alice In Chains trying to play acoustic”

[@meanmud1]

Damn - I could listen to Bryan play all day long! What a chill/cool guy!

[@joeyspinks]

Watching Bryan Sutton play... it brings a tear to one's eye, seeing the dexterity and hearing the clarity of the notes played, the result of the years of work developing artistry of that caliber. Simply amazing.

[@brandongoodman1017]

And his touch … man oh man

[@waynehomsher6174]

Bryan Sutton keeps fixing my playing. I am a year into acoustic flatpicking after years of electric and bass and was struggling with the right hand. I realized that Bryan rests his upper arm on the edge of the guitar top. Here I was resting the lower arm (below the elbow) on the guitar. What a difference an inch or two makes! An "A-Ha! moment and a "Duh..." at the same time. Thanks, homeskoolin'! '!

[@BlugubriousMusic]

Aside from the ridiculous amount of talent, feel, and skill, I dug how Bryan got lost in the sound of the guitar... still seems like even at the highest level, there is still magic in there. That is helpful to me... my skills being limited, I need that part of music maybe a little more than some to keep trying. So thankful for these organic sweet conversations. Thanks Tom and guests.

[@mannahattamusic]

Bryan's touch is unbelievable. Beauty in it's purest form. Thanks for having us once again Uncle Larry. You're the best!

[@genephillips4809]

It is INSANE how good Sutton is!

[@gregdoran5850]

I can't get enough of Bryan! What a master!!

[@model_number_band]

12:46 Tom's closeup of Byran's insane right hand work... Just unreal... Great video work there, Buk!

[@rdmkeytohwy]

Any video with Bryan Sutton in a studio with a guitar in his hands I am going to watch. Effortless picking all the time and has such great tone and touch. Talent helps obviously but to be that good you have to put in the time with practice. We get the benefit of just tuning in to listen, watch, and learn. Thanks for sharing Uncle Larry and keep these great videos coming! Bryan is my favorite acoustic picker for sure!

[@AlGorham23]

The right hand of god, that’s for damn sure. Besides uncle Larry, Bryan’s been the biggest influence on my playing since the lockdown madness days. He’s so erudite, with his discussion on what he’s doing, and with those magical hands. A genius of a guitarist, no arguments. Cheers fellas!

[@jamzon335]

Does anyone put more thought into his playing than Bryan? There is an intellectual and philosophical element to his approach, yet he has harnessed it to enhance the musicality where others sound and style becomes robotic. He’s cracked the code for sure.

[@DaveElke]

Love these field trips. The Tony Rice part is fascinating, all that cross picking is so hard! My J50 is my only acoustic and my favorite guitar to play, good score on that Tom.

[@bjornegan6421]

Have you heard Carl Miner play?

[@DaveElke]

@@bjornegan6421 just checked him out, great player.

[@bjornegan6421]

@@DaveElke Glad you found so as well. There's a documentary type of video Troy Grady has on Carl Miner's cross picking technique and how it is quite unique. I have watched it quite a few times. I recommend it.

[@tjinnertube]

Thanks, Mr Sutton, for the good chords, and Hey Tom for watching it live in person.

[@Alabama8]

Man, Bryan Sutton is a national treasure. Thanks for introducing him to me here, Uncle Larry!

[@broonzy2006]

Love hearing Bryan, those bluegrass licks are killer! Brings such a smile to your face.

[@AaronRashaw]

"What else do you need." well said. I love how you and Bryan and the pros play all the parts on solo guitar. I think many folks don't understand the years and hours of dedication, practice, and mastery to get to that point. I feel really lucky to turn this on and see what I can learn from it. Thanks

[@Nozmo_King_NJ]

I can see why Bryan is the #1 guy to call for acoustic guitar work. Looks simple, but that's the magic.

[@kylebichler2258]

What looks simple ?

[@Nozmo_King_NJ]

@@kylebichler2258 Perhaps a better word would be .. effortless

[@Sammywhat]

Love how Bryan kept playing that glorious guitar in the background! Thanks for the share, Unc!!

[@joshellyson]

Uncle Larry you are surrounded by people who are just as stellar as people as they are stellar as musicians. Mr Sutton is just jaw dropping good. One thing that is so evident in both his and your playing is the fluidity, how being so relaxed produces that fluidity and stellar tones. You have a real keeping in that new J-50, gorgeous sounds.

[@unclesamsniece2064]

Delightful! That’s the only word that came to mind. And the smile on my face is the best kind. The kind that comes from that instinctual joy there’s no way to avoid or fake or deny-not that anyone should ever want to. Tucked somewhere between awe & giddy, delight is as honest & sincere as the fellas in this video seem to be. And that’s sincerely delightful as well,…honestly! haha😉 Thanks to all 3 of you Session Men!

[@MrFrogman54]

I know that I will never get anywhere near the word good in my guitar journey but I feel by watching you and your friends play that I at least learn something and enjoy walking over to pick up my guitar. Thank you again

[@georgebaader9817]

Wow!!! Brian is so amazing. The way his right wrist/hand seems to float is mesmerizing!!! Seems like such a great person as well. Your friendship warms the screen!!

[@AdamHill-w5o]

Wanna hear a joke? 50 other guys are on the 100 greatest guitarist of all time and both of these guys aren’t even thought of. These two are as good as there ever was. Truth.

[@tuib]

I wonder how many times I've watched this.

[@chrischarles1468]

Thanks Tom for everything especially the videos with Bryan. Y’all have such a good rapport

[@telebender]

So, so good. Mr. Sutton is such a monster player. Thanks for sharing.

[@jackmundo4043]

Just extraordinary. Loaded with great stuff. Ill stay away from that third in the cowboy G and play the open D fifth. Love it. Thanks so much. And super special ending. (My brother was Tony’s doctor in Reidsville. Funny story, Tony told him to come over to the house sometime and he’d let him hold his Martin guitar. Bill thought that was hilarious.)

[@scottshand8559]

How amazing is Bryan Sutton...I could sit here all day and listen to this. Thanks for the tour time Tom.

[@davemassie3726]

Thanks guys, nothing like a J 50 morning. My band mate has a 64 J 50 that is a Rolling Stone guitar for sure! Bryan and Buk thanks for sharing! Peace

[@vbros7]

You're a lucky man Tom, having such great friends around all the time. I'm from the " make your own luck" camp, so you obviously have a lot to do with it, but havings these folks available to you to be able to foster these friendships is so great. Good for you Unlce Larry.

[@jimwillcox9431]

Spent the morning checking in with all the dudes from Gruhn's and now get Brian on the J-50. Thanks for giving us access to world I would have never been exposed to.

[@l8tapex]

you know there is somethin to be said about the simplicity but very fulfilling content Tom. Keep it going please. Your interplay with others is something many will never know.

[@avmtones]

What a master! Thanks for this, Buk!

[@kfabuloso2255]

Uncle Larry, I just love these shorts from the sessions you do. Heroic. Sutton is beyond inspiring as well as you sir. Rock on.

[@jipes]

It grooves incredible but the precision and the clarity of each note is out of this world !

[@emckean31]

I absolutely love this video and the insight we get into what you guys do as session players do and how much sound affects you. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@curtisprincemusic]

What a sweet, soulful, man! What a beast of a guitar!! Sounds like the beautiful wood it’s built from!

[@fodiddlediddle5015]

i have now watched this video 10 times. Beautiful playing. Thanks for the invaluable tips and insight. Incredible. Thanks, Tom, Bryan and Jimmie.👍

[@philgrabmiller3764]

That Bass chain was an awesome tip. Thanks. Love the Tony Rice licks like going home to paradise.

[@CFAinNoVA]

What a guitar player. Love having Bryan on.

[@TheMujiFuji]

Master class with the man! Gold mine…and the Gibby sounds sooooo good

[@wesking1]

Straight MAGIC! Man, what a gift that you let us in on this stuff. That Gibson is a monster.

[@tcoudi]

such a best. saw him last month in Brno with Bela Fleck. what a privilidge.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Always love it when Bryan makes an appearance...

[@JGsBBQ]

I jump in my truck in the morning before my drive to work and cross my fingers there's a new vid.... And damn was this one a great one! Thanks for the awesome time 🎸🎸...dang Brian good!

[@davidpepper442]

That Bryan Sutton is sooo smooth. His touch dynamics on the acoustic guitar are just masterful. Speaking of Robbie and Levon, I think I'll watch The Last Waltz this weekend in their honor. Haven't seen it in a few years. Levon is far and away my favorite singing drummer.

[@deangoritz9625]

God that’s some good stuff. The first videos I’m looking for when I wake in the morning or when I get off of work is uncle Larry. Brings me such joy. And I’m not blowin smoke Tom I really mean it. Thanks for everything

[@richardomalley3660]

Nasty crosspicking! Love the Sutton cameos on Homeskoolin 🤟🏻

[@stevebernard221]

Hi Tom! Aspiring guitar player here from Newfoundland. I love vintage gear, love bluegrass and cross picking technique (its new to me in the 5 years or so). But I have watched this vid several times now and the content is great. That Gibson is really something! and Bryan is pulling amazing tone and clarity from it. The vibe is so relaxing and all around just a good group of guys talking notes and gear! Keep'em comin!

[@brianolson_music]

Absolute precision in that right hand. I could watch and listen to that all day. Thing of beauty

[@FC-cz6zd]

That Tony Rice section was priceless, especially at the beginning when detailing that unique rhythm style.

[@weschilton]

Magical, soulful and beautiful playing!

[@kylecravens6501]

Bryan Sutton makes me want to become a real guitarist one day when I grow up!

[@belo1971]

That guitar sound . Pure gold 🙏🎸🥰

[@Guitargate]

Oh yeah for sure dude. That's fantastic playing

[@jaygallamore562]

Love these behind the scenes segments you do with all the world class players you hang out with!

[@christopherptacek9695]

Bryan is just SO DAMN good. It's amazing.

[@acthree]

Dang Uncle Larry, gold nuggets everywhere in this. Thank you!

[@BobEstremera]

It's so great to see what you can do just within the chord shapes. Such great music all under your fingers. Bryan came up with a great name for a new acoustic tune, 'Bottom Feedin'"

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤Sutton, Sutton who’s got the Sutton❤️Tom I so love your channel and your evergiving of these musical gifts you give us. the bluegrass circle video has been one of my favorites for a long time

[@riseupselling]

Larry, the content has been so amazing. Don't stop

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Wow, what a combination! Uncle Larry's J-50 in Brian's right AND left hands! Tom, all of your videos bring me joy and especially when they include Brian Sutton!

[@lpjbird]

Fine video here & a rather fine player on that J-50…Brian’s got some amazing hands. Nice score on the guitar.

Amazing playing! Beautiful sound on that Gibson! Great video! Thanks Tom!

Uncle Larry, I dreamt last night that I had an in person class with you at a school that looked like Hogwarts. So much wisdom on this channel, not even just about guitar or Music but about life. Thanks so much!

Man, what I'd give to be a fly on the wall in those rooms. Just to sit there and listen to such beautiful music being made would be amazing.

Have to agree with you on Levon. Such a unique soulful voice.

Bryan is such an incredible player.

Sublime. Thank you both for sharing.

What a monster. Love hearing him play.

Love my 63' J-45. They all seem to sound better than they should. Great tone, and they work for bluegrass!

So good! Cheers Tom!!

Hey Bryan! I have a book that I need to return to you. THE GUITAR HANDBOOK you loaned it to me 40 years ago. How can I get it to you? Thank you, Bryan Tolbert

[@-Atmos1]

Beautiful sounding acoustic

[@kellywendlandt3940]

Right hand. Left hand. Both hands and no hands. Brian Sutter is a beast and a blessing!

[@michaeljohnrowley8384]

I love how Jimmy Lee's most played bass is one you sold him from your shop. I was on the phone with Dylan Altman this morning and he told me a story of buying his Gibson amp from your shop. He said, "The thing about Tom being such a good dude . . .I went in there looking for an old Princeton or something expecting to drop two to three grand. Tom was like, no, I know what rooms you're in and I know your style . . .you want this $500 amp right here. And he was right, Michael. I've been using it ever since." I bet there are a LOT of stories like that, Tom!! You could do a whole series on it. 🙂

[@pmunkey1]

Next level playing❤

[@billgoodman3213]

Why/How are the Gibsons so coveted and has it always been that way? I know coming playing I fell in love with the Martins and really still have a great spot for them. I've played a few Gibsons that were just phenomenal but they seem harder to find?

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

Sounds awesome! I bought an old J-50 from my high school music teacher in 77’ for $150! Still have it and love it. Non ceramic bridge- but a sound investment non the less.

[@tbluesboye]

Thanks Tom! Thanks Bryan! Great post! Thanks for the share!

[@kmajor44]

Damn, what a player! Anyone have a link to Sutton’s channel? 😂

[@scottbee501]

Beautiful

[@beezersurf]

He's so freaking good.

[@cottoneyejoe1able]

This is amazing🎉🎉🎉

[@teleplusdeluxe]

That right hand is so calm, it’s almost effortless, like a slow rollin’ train gliding on butter rails

[@yellowtruckproductions7502]

Thanks Tom and Bryan!
