Uncle Larry I’m ready to learn about that “Advanced Phrasing” how about you? 🤣 Great Video bro!

[@501chorusecho]

we have SO MUCH to learn about "advanced phrasing technique".... i also want to take a deep dive into Jiveboy's "negative motion" theory concept.... fascinating stuff....

It is amazing to see how good someone can become at their craft when they are so devoted. It is an absolute privilege watching you in the zone. You are my guitar hero, Tom. You should consider starting a SoundCloud page.

Just curious, you ever cross paths with Henrik Freischlader? I’m a sick individual like you. Named my first Gibson and my second son after Henrik. Guitar is always on the mind. Reason I ask, Henrik is criminally underrated. Wish he would get a little more attention over here in the States…

Man, I can't tell you how good this stuff is for me sometimes. Already a rough week, disaster of a night, trying to get pulled together for a long day, and surrounded by bad vibes first thing in the morning. And then I go to homeskool, and for a few minutes it all just fades out. Thanks, Tom.

[@EdgarBowlin]

LOVE this one, Tom! I've been looping simple triad based pieces like this (often minor, melodic) and then extracting every bit of creativity I can from my 57 year old fingers. Thanks so much for the inspiration - each "lesson" you just play for us up front, before you even say "Hi it's just Uncle Larry" (which is perfect, awesome, no words needed!), and from the beginning, I now have a library of inspiring compositions - many I learn, many inspire me to write my own. Wishing you the best from Northeast (Tri-Cities) TN / Western (Granite Falls) NC.

[@501chorusecho]

thank you my dude...glad you are getting something out of this shit

[@christinezuazua2218]

Hey Tom, I was a fan of yours back over a decade ago when there was only a handful of videos of you on KZbin. I used to play the 2 garage jam videos over and over on my way to Edinburgh from Birmingham. Love your stuff, you're a special player and equally a special soul. Keep going man. All the best from Craig, an English guy messaging you on his wife's channel from Spain 🙂

[@501chorusecho]

thank you so much!

What a cool thing to be able to influence current country songs! It gave me a great feeling of hope to know that country music still has creative people like yourself who fight every day to keep things REAL and not just play the same old shit on different records!! Long live The Starship Trooper!! You brought back the 2 and 4 position on an old strat!!! How cool is that. I'm sure you have updated them a bit for sure. I can't wait to hear where and when you placed that tone in a song!!!! Thanks for all you do!!!

Knopfler uses bridge and middle not neck and middle

[@kenwhisler]

I know that you’ve often said that because you have speed on tap, you rarely use it but have it ready to go when needed. That said, given the current circumstances, the 11’10” mark struck me as a “kill shot”…..yet nothing rushed about it. I LOVE IT!
