I can always be better, always learn more, always try something new. I’m just as in love with and interested in figuring out these slabs of wood and strings today, as I was when l l picked up my first guitar at 10 years old.

Such a perfect explaination of why people don't want to 'go all the way' in committing to something... I fell in love with horses at age 33, and drove myself to learn everything I could about riding, maintenance, care, health, diet, training, etc. Most people just don't want or can't afford the commitment to becoming a 'master' of something. It takes a special desire. It's why I love this channel. I did take on a few clients to 'train' their horses, which was a joke. The horses weren't the ones who needed the training; they rise to the best player in the room, or they sink to the lowest common denominator. Needless to say, I quit training horses for other people, because they had no interest in learning for themselves what it takes to excel. Luv ya, Tommy!

The explanation over subscriptions well said, I appreciate those channels for the ride, my desire and love for music on the guitar and where to find the deep jewels of the soulish verbal tones that reach true depth of sound and statement brings me to this place where there is no division between the instrument and the player, you sir are the evidence of where so many are trying to reach, and it’s more than just learning a song , it’s becoming one with the instrument and a language evolving and a feeling permeating the atmosphere. Thank you for the channel, it’s really an honor to watch. I am constantly reminded of the long journey you have endured and the time and sacrifice made, and the exposure to people and places and the world of music you have walked in, really something.

Hey Tom. I’m one of those bar band guys and I agree 1000% except for one thing. A lot of those channels with lots of subscribers all have high production values.

I've been playing for 40+ years, can replicate Eruption in a bar band and get a ton of applause. Can dive bomb, squeal, tap and entertain all night long, but when I improvise I'm out of ideas fairly quickly. In other words a great imitator, a shit innovator. Hell, I even went to GIT back in the 80's! But then I started watching, Jack Ruch, Corey Congilio and you. And I'm really understanding how important arpeggios and chord tones are over flying through Dorian and Mixolydian runs. Just focusing on those have change my world. I feel like I'm developing a voice, not mature yet, but I'm hearing things in my playing that I've been wanting for 30 years. I need to get down to Nashville to find you guys and watch up close. You're all very inspiring! Oh and I'm from Steeler country. Grew up hating the Browns... then that weekend happened and A.M. become pubic enemy number one down here.

I hung out in there with a friend of a friend one time, because I thought I was an ok chess player. I played one game with him. He mated me in about 6 moves, LOL. And he was eating his lunch and chit-chating with another guy while he played, LOL.

What I have found about acoustic guitars is that it is possible to make it personal and special. Just buy a good one and play it for a few decades. Easy. Like a good quality baseball glove, an acoustic guitar 'wears in' as you play it. Maybe you don't ever make the big leagues, but that glove fits your hand like it does for no other. If you like playing ball, that's the glove for you. These electric guitfiddles are more stubborn. I am working on it, thanks to Home Skoolin'

Larry, you’re totally right. I think the reason is that as creatures, we are instinctively drawn to seek comfort. Therefore we stop at good enough. To really reach the top, in anything (sports, business, music) you have to spend the majority of your time outside your comfort zone, and you have to train yourself to seek that discomfort. If you want to be the best pub cover band guitarist in your town, the amount of time you have to spend outside your comfort zone is a lot less than if you want to be a session player in Nashville. Also, the reason those rudimentary guitar channels are popular is that they spend more time on production and marketing, while the serious cats are too busy practicing guitar… and there’s nothing wrong with that, like you said.

I’m definitely a lifer and when I was younger I could pick up a guitar and after a hr was done with everything I knew. Now at 51 I’ve become what I wish I was when I was younger, but with raising a family and the bread winner it was hard to do more. A lil over 15 yrs ago I decided to go all in and always can “create” something new and anything I want to play can figure it out easily. I’m not bragging, I always say I play a little guitar but my point is anyone can do it if they put the time into it. And I’m just so thankful and blessed to have pushed myself to do it.

The Hot guitarist at that time was young Frankie Starr from the west side of Cleveland, a child prodigy that was playing in bars at 13 years old….!

I think your assessment of player ability is spot on. I live in an area with a lot of cool guitar players. They are all really sweet people but are content playing cowboy chords. I’ve been playing for 45 years and have a decent vocabulary. I’m not a great player by any stretch of the imagination just a bit more in depth. But I always seem to be the odd man out in my group of players. I sense they feel more comfortable with other cowboy chord players.

Comment about motivation. I have a very good friend, couple years older than me, who is coasting as a guitar player. It drives me nuts. He doesn't challenge himself to learn new voicings, new chords, new songs. He really is talented and could go much further with his playing. It doesn't make me feel better about myself or my playing, but I am obsessed with guitar. I am still a rookie after 40 years. But I won't stop trying and learning. Oh, and a comment about the strat. My goodness, does that guitar stay in tune, no matter what you throw at it. Stark contrast to my guitars. Great sound out of that '62.

So like your video you did with the pedals can you do it with guitars, blind fold test and play a original black guard Tele, and modern day tele that has the same feel and do it with all the great guitars you love Strat,Burst,335,. It would be interesting to see if you could tell a difference. Keep up the awesome work your doing with your awesome videos, they are a lot of fun to watch, I especially like your talks at your session breaks, your field trip videos to Glasers and all the other great places you taken the to and the Gruhns round tables are a class of there own.

As BB King said, “I don’t know where he got his guitar. My guitar don’t get those notes.” Thanks for the inspiration Larry.

Uncle Larry, an old hacker like myself might not get much inspiration looking at others of like ability on the internet. Your playing inspires me, and that - along with the fact that it just sounds so good - is what I come here for. Like drinking from a firehose lots of times? For sure. And thanks to yourself and Joe Glaser, the Savvy bridge brought my recent Les Paul Special from what I thought was 'pretty darn close' to Dead Nuts On!

Great talk on levels of accomplishments and cool demo on low string voicings. Thanks!

Loved that jam!! Your guitar sounds awesome…looks similar to my strat (‘82 Fullerton re-issue of that exact guitar) except yours sounds in tune up and down the fret board. Dammit!
