We all know tone is in the hands right, Have you also noticed the guys with the tone in their hands are never the same guys showing up to a gig with a Fractal?

[@501chorusecho]

haaahaaaaaaa

[@J.C...]

No. You're clueless too

[@ronkresch9228]

I totally appreciate how hard playing the guitar is….I’ve been struggling with it for years!

[@alessandropolato8534]

Hey Tom! Greetings from Brazil! Glad you liked the pedal.... Thank you for the kind words.... Alessandro.

[@DonaldTwain]

If you hate the heat move to northern England. We had our summer last Wednesday afternoon.

[@ianedgley2024]

It was a good'un too!!

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Bah heck it were reet gradely warm tha noz.

[@guitfinger]

😂

[@Paul-D]

Hahahaha so true

[@Inthewind88]

Amazing ! That guitar and your hands….barely believable. So much emotion in that tone. Sends me sailing……away !

[@justinguitarcia]

I love the way you and that 57 sound so much man. That thing is freaky. So guttural and swampy yet clear and punchy. One mean machine

[@501chorusecho]

it's such a fucking insanely good guitar....i don't even understand how a guitar can be THAT good

[@michaeldarrin2026]

Tom, first off I have to comment that I love your channel and the skoolers are awesome people...(Bulkly speaking). The gold in your hands is liquid, can't beat it, can't buy it, what you have is pure musical genius. You not only bring a lot of love and happiness to your children and friends, but you speak to us like were part of your world, it's nice to see an artist communicate and have fun and be real...you speak your mind with no holds barred. Love it....Keep doing what your doing, you are the best.....much Respect and love.

[@501chorusecho]

thank you bro. i appreciate the kind words

[@antoonhermans8953]

thats well said , i totally agree

[@tadmorrison]

Phil Keaggy once told me that he felt his playing got into ruts. I told him, "Those are some mighty fine ditches, brother!"

[@stashe8083]

Yeah man! Phil is a sweet guy. I met him at an event back in 2015 with the band I was in.

[@tadmorrison]

@@stashe8083 He really is. I showed him an altered tuning I use for one song (FACGAC) and he was like a kid. He got out his mini recorder and had me play and name every note so he could remember.

I grew up in Warren, OH. I think Glass Harp used to practice in Sferras's basement

[@markthespark6240]

From Dusk Til Dawn is possibly the best Quentin Tarantino film ever made. The scene with Salma Hayek is the most sexy thing in a movie ever & then they turn into killing machine vampires!!!! Some very sexy guitar playing Tom!! Lots of love from Australia. Loving the In Stereo Album that arrived in my mailbox last week. I'm playing it while I drive my kids to the bus stop - Its getting some love!!! What an achievement for you and Guthrie.

[@Tipisbored]

The snake looked happy!

[@501chorusecho]

thank you very much bro

[@kennylynch9317]

My buddy gave absolutely no context about the movie so my jaw hit the floor at that scene, you know what I'm talking about lol.

[@DM-qj3sy]

You couldn't get up and go for popcorn after that scene! Hahaha

[@metalhed6t7]

I’m probably the only metalhead up in here. But I love your playing and your channel just as much! Brother, you’re making a difference in the world….glad you’re here 🤘😃🤘

[@lamppostwillie]

You can't let it go, Tommy. There'll always be another pool, but a gold top that sounds that sweet...

[@501chorusecho]

I ain’t bro I just can’t ….it’s too good

[@johngoodman9380]

Each Fall I say I've made it again. Hear you loud and clear when you say suffer through the Summer. I'm the opposite of a bear, I hibernate in the Summer instead of Winter. So thankful for air conditioners.

[@mattsefton]

As someone with mental illness, your sublime playing and conversation has become a much needed therapy for me. Thank you Tom

[@501chorusecho]

thank you mate

[@lucasvalentin3077]

Gotta cheer you up that a musician is selling MORE music than he expected! Congrats for such an amazing album Uncle Larry and GT!

[@TheRange7]

Tom, the best thing you explained in this one is how friggen hard it is to play the guitar. People in general tend to totally dismiss how amazing it really is to see a great player perform live. I sit at some shows in complete awe of the guitar player(s) on stage. Meantime the knucklehead next to me is checking his text message or his faceplant account. WTF??? Why do people like this even buy a ticket? What's even cooler is when I see a pro like you, Bonamassa, or Vince Gill. You guys make it look so damn easy. I know all too well the thousands and thousands of hours it took to get to that point. It bothers me that people go to these shows and act like they can't be bothered to pay attention to some player's life's work. Off my soapbox....happy Tuesday sir

[@Paul-D]

I hear you man - on both points

[@rdmkeytohwy]

Humbuckers sound more articulate under your hands and about any guitar just comes alive. Your practice, attention to detail and nuance, and talent are second to none in my book. I just love listening to you play and it always puts me in a good mood. That, my friend, is priceless.

[@earlfarrior2100]

Great commentary and entertainment. "I put ice in the cup" sand NO refrigerator ever! some days Tom knows just what to say to make you smile. Thanks Tom.

[@jonfranz-qw3sx]

"Stuff that works, stuff that holds up, the kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall" Guy Clark.

[@rigelloar7474]

Even more amazing than his tone and chops, is Larry's paradoxical musicality, he can be both rootsy and sophisticated, simultaneously. Damn!

[@dougcannon3783]

I love the comment about refrigerator ice makers/dispensers! Precisely why we don't have an ice dispenser on the door of our fridge. And then Uncle Larry finished with the uppercut about "Dawn."

[@Cactusflattmedia]

Big love from AZ dude🌵

[@jakeah1175]

Haha loved that comment about how other musicians don’t know how hard guitar is… it really is…

[@Sometimes_I_Play_GTR]

Love your transparency Larry... thanks!

[@micahmusik]

I’m pretty high right now and when you leaned in to the camera Larry that shit was real haha 🍻🎸🍻

[@markmcnamara4322]

i admire how well you are able to express yourself. please keep doing what you do. it all sounds good to me.

[@dusty_dustbin_basementjamh4827]

Dawn = perfect amount of suds. Tom, your music comes across as incredibly authentic and eclectic. The many musical versions of Larry. Always sounds like you. Thanks for doing it.

[@jackmundo4043]

Enjoyed it, thanks.

[@stratdude56]

that was some of the best playing I've heard in a while....no words.

[@cantyouhearmeknocking1961]

As a child of the early 60's, I grew up listening to everything from; Johnny Cash, John Denver, The Dead, Beatles, Elvis, Sly & The Family Stone, Chuck Berry, Earth Wind & Fire, Leon Russel, Cat Stevens, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Floyd, Sinatra, Jim Croce, Dolly Parton, Joan Biaz. My parents listened to everything. It seems like they spun a new record once a week. It was cool, considering we lived in the foothills of Tennessee, and could barely pick up an AM station, much less anything else.

[@MTownB615]

Good Morning 🌄 and Thanks 🙏 For the Music and Wisdom! 💯🎶🎵♾️

[@brianwood7237]

Great shirt, Tom I love Sun Valley, especially in the summer

[@xfreedwillx]

yeaaaah man that 12 string piece was splendid! I appreciate the deep thoughts episodes too

[@ptklip]

That is mighty tasty playing, brother.

[@TheCave99]

Your exploration and review of the Amazon pedal was classic, cracked me up. Love it, thanks.

[@HighscoreCreative]

Man that guitar is so nice. Cheers for turning me onto Hermanos Guitierrez too, i love em.

[@brianhawley5272]

Larry, dude, when you laugh at yourself , cracks me up😂. It’s a little devilish. Love your playing, love your sense of humor.

[@texasblues1]

Mind boggling playing man!

[@chrischarles1468]

Man that intro, you and that 57, sounded fantastic! Keep picking and searching. Loving In Stereo. Much love backatcha from NC.

[@koolkat808hawaii]

Glad you still have the gold top. Listen to that tone.

[@tomcoryell]

Sweet playing Tommy!

[@user-nh8xw1pb1i]

Gotta love those sneaky harmonies. That was badass.

[@stewurbach9989]

Vintage Uncle Larry. Incredible guitar followed by lotsa nuggets of wisdom!

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

I couldn’t imagine any of my childhood guitar heroes entertaining a platform like yours. Maybe just Beck, because he was the coolest cat, but so are you bro! Thanks for all the cool inside stuff.

[@alexanderthompson996]

The way you keep the bass while playing with so much feel blows my mind 🤯 Truly the 🐐 And I definitely relate on the jack issue.

[@John_2Much_Coffee]

Uncle Larry wearing the "toque " of knowledge. Love your playing. Cheers!

[@paulh6299]

great song from GuyClark "stuff that works" rings very true. Have a great day Uncle Larry!!

[@clwheeler6954]

“Stuff that works” 😊 Guy knew about that stuff! Thanks UL for all this good Homeskoolin’

[@kevinwalrad3319]

Great episode! Top three in my book for sure. Crackin' me up something fierce Uncle Larry! This shit that runs through your head sometimes, that train of thought stuff that make some people cock their head sideways like a dog hearing a far off whistle... Digging it!

[@garypotterton6840]

Good one...the more candid and off the cuff the better. Nobody else really does that.

[@billmoyer914]

Uncle Larry! Shoutout from a rustbelt native! Warren, Ohio! Brother you are a six string guru!! You make every guitar sound incredible!!

[@joshellyson]

Man am i with you Uncle Larry....give me the Fall....oh, yeah, the "The Fall Guy" movie....that is what a session man does....comes in and takes all the hits and falls to make the artist out front look good....seriously though, like you, i live for the Autumn months....makes me feel alive.

[@rogertinker1813]

Cool episode thanks, UL

[@jjzap2935]

Great class Mr B! Hitting on all cylinders. Yes, couldn't agree more on the playing the same riffs all the time is to die as a player, even worse if they are not my own riffs (almost classify as torture). To create is to grow.. and I never want to stop growing.

[@jseptoski]

I had time today to have my guy install an MCB savvy on my LP Jr. RI. It’s everything Uncle Larry said it was and more. It made a great guitar into a phenomenal guitar. I just spent the past three hours playing it. Taking a break to watch this and then picking it up again. It plays and sounds magical.

[@scottycasteel]

As a chronic headache sufferer, I chuckle at your advil comment but the music city bridge actually does work. Also man, I could talk old cars all day long.

[@13aphomet]

Couldn't agree more Tommy. I could listen to you talk for hours.. Guitar IS hard. I constantly feel like there's a hump I'm trying to get over that I can never quite get to..

[@griggsb1]

I laughed so hard when you talked about the heat. Lol yep

[@wolfgango3184]

Thank you Tom you're the Best

[@tone1798]

It would be so kool to hear what you could pull out of that 1st pedal. BTW, X p&g’r from ol’ KC where Dawn soap use to be made! Absolutely love this channel for many reasons! When I’m asked “who are my top 5 guitarists “ UL is certainly one of them. Just because of of this channel. Trip the Witch is a family favorite album on weekends when we are all just hanging 🤙🏽🤘🏽🎸👈🏼

I picked up your new record, Man I really enjoyed listening to it start to finish! I don't remember the last time I have listened to an album start to finish, excited to hear what the next track was. Reading the liner notes and looking at the artwork while listening. Really awesome album man. Congrats to you and Guthrie and thank you for all that you do man. You are a real treasure in the guitar and human community. Cheers

[@501chorusecho]

thank you mate....i appreciate the kind words

[@Jeff.D024]

That’s one of the things I dig most about you as a musician. You are not married to one genre. What makes you in a league of your own is you have mastered them all. I, too like playing a lot of different genres but I’m living dangerously long in the jack of all trades master of none.

[@garyrosenberg13]

You must really love this goldie! I've never heard you inspired to play on the neck pickup of anything to this extent. As a neck man I say thank you.

What is it with you and next pickups? Dude I use them constantly in the studio…it’s not a new thing for me bro hahaaa

@@501chorusecho You are the man. That improv with the Sesh Man Deuzie was next level. I appreciate you. And I marvel at how you basically NEVER repeat yourself. I dunno how ya do it.

Rust Valley is a riot! Lol I grew up around 50’s and 60’s cars! My very first vehicle was a step side 56 Chevy pickup. My father restored it for me as a graduation present for graduating high school. The struggle of life had me ending up selling that thing. My father was ok with that if it meant for me getting ahead in life. Cars are so much like guitars eh? I love it! ✌️

Lol. Larry .. Uncle Larry. Cracked me up

[@budrizzo8167]

I can really relate to what you are talking about with your guitar playing. I think it’s great to be open to all styles of playing. Thats how we get guitar players like Steve Howe, Larry Carlton, Mark Knopfler, Skunk Baxter, Dean Parks, Guthrie Trapp and Tom Bukovac.

[@stevekozak7176]

I can get very depressed in winter, and spring/summer always gives me hope and something to do.

[@DreaNEO]

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination... all hope is thwarted by an online entity trying to sell effect pedals to the inexperienced players...players who will be unwillingly thrown into desperation never understanding, finding, or hearing a good pedal... they have stepped into... the Twilight Zone. THANKS BUK-OWE-SKI!!!

[@boabglen]

1 thing that stuck with the other day was your comment about playing changes etc but making sure there's at least 1 note in it from the last chord. You said taje chord names etc out the equation. Ill tell ya man that really struck me and has got me thinking a lot! Thanks for the inspiration. The record is absolutely shit hot btw

[@thebrunoweizenkeim]

There is a lot of „different“ styles in Blues Larry. It fits all of your different moods. And it gets you in a complete different mood when you need it

Good lord that Gold Top sounds so special. I think it almost(?) has more character than your ‘burst which is also the shizzle. You make everything sound killer; my faves are-in no particular order-your Esquire, the National New Yorker, the Danocaster Strat and whatever 335 or Junior you happen to be wielding. On another note I’m guessing that Amazon Basics Shitstortion won’t be kicking the Noballs off any of your boards. Love you man, eagerly awaiting your new record with GT. Have a great day, stay inspired and inspiring!

Hahaha....Uncle Larry, this Larry feels the same way about cold as you do about heat. Lived in Tampa Bay for 30 years and happy as a Lark in a Meadow. The worst gig I ever played was outside on a cloudy 52 degree day in Plant City, Fl. Cold strings on my guitar were painful.
