Homeskoolin’ Volume 97, Tom Bukovac, “Takin’ Requests”

[@darcyjohn]

The “country boy can survive” instrumental thing you did was awesome! You the man Tom!

[@JDWH]

I second this!! Uncle Larry you have to play this one!!

[@brandoningersoll5034]

I third this!

[@bmorris2019]

My thoughts exactly

[@MrAjcrossman]

'Tennessee Jack Ford', 'Cop Show Music' and 'London Broil' are all just fantastic.

[@MrMekyto]

Bon Temps Rouler!! I keep going back to that one! 👌

[@jaltsch1]

I second this one! I've copied that many times!

[@mallm1]

Homeskoolin' 16 "Bon Temps Rouler" should be in there

[@MrHotPlate]

That’s a killer one for sure

[@gfunkk]

any hillbilly stuff Tom does is crackerjack

[@delv2473]

one of my favourites for sure.

[@riverman6655]

Keb Mo is keeping Taj Mahal's legacy going! He's awesome

[@biffleonetti5298]

For sheer 70's coolness factor...."Cop Show Music" .....man!

[@seanstoessel7999]

Loved “Tennessee jack ford”, “the missing piece”, and “existential fridays” among many others. You and Sarah should do a Genesis tune as an encore. Ep. 100 is gonna be pretty close to the anniversary of Homeskoolin too! Congrats uncle Larry!

[@reiddillashaw2383]

Anything in Open G #78 - Uncle Larry's Slight Return #61 - The Smuggler #27 - Tennessee Jack Ford! If not, that's cool. Anything you play is worth listening to. I'll definitely be tuned in! ( RIP Michal Stanley )

[@MichaelWilson-ri9pn]

So sad to hear Michael Stanley died. When are we going to hear some Trip the Witch? Love your channel Tom. And thanks for the tuning tip!!! Priceless

[@lokevng]

RIP Michael Stanley. Love the shirt, man.

[@brownmonkeybananayellow]

Watched both shows on Volume and it’s so cool to hear how it all came together years later as it should have been. Congrats!

[@conorbennett7099]

64 -“The Bird Returns” I heard that one and I had to learn immediately. So soulful.

[@manuelgomezdemembrillerape300]

Ep.54 "Just cream please" I am obsessed with it.

[@JD-iu3vi]

That's what she said.

[@BassGoBomb]

Me too ... :-)

[@brendancarbone7621]

Corona Lessons ep. 20 with the bender is an all time intro, plus that wurli trick is just too good

[@robertmayne7484]

Definitely Cop Show Music! I’ve been a devout fan ever since. Thanks for all the sunshine Uncle Larry!

[@AlexBunardzic]

The world is full of crazy genius guitar players (which we're discovering daily thanks to youtube & instagram), but Tom, you're my latest discovery and you're simply blowing my mind! I am speechless.

[@DaveElke]

Keb Mo is such a great songwriter and human! Hoping for a behind the scenes on this session...

[@mikegreen2417]

Big time

[@ryanwhitley5427]

Ep. 3 “Train-Kept-A-Memphis” is amazing.

[@liquensrollant]

Ha, you beat me to it, I feel the same.

[@jeffwyatt7199]

Thats near the tippy top for me too.

[@tratko3150]

Me too!

[@chadking3194]

Yeah my favorite too. Love going back and watching that one

[@johnvcougar]

❤

[@paulaitkenguitar]

A band show would be amazing! Thanks for all you do for us Tom!

[@alexdayhay]

The intro of volume 18 is pure gold to me!! Greetings from Montréal!!!!

[@koho]

Yes, love that one! Add my vote!

[@yannm5088]

Yeah!!

[@trentcarroll3373]

I think you’re the most wholesome guitar player I’ve ever heard. I’ve been a bit lost last few years with my musical path but you’ve inspired me to focus on just getting better at music and be more musical. Easy to get caught up in the chops wars and social media status etc... New guitar hero!

[@JakeBlues-dq9xg]

Most wholesome player and chop wars cracked me up...very astute commentary!

[@justinguitarcia]

going back and revisiting episodes it dawned on me that these are all incredible chapter titles. Should right a memoir one day lil Tommy! Sure it'd be a good read. At any rate - favorites..."TV Dinner" is awesome, "Train Kept-A-Memphis", "Just Cream Please" is great too, hard to pick honestly

[@gitarendirk1]

Hey Tom, recently I was stumbling around the house while listening to some old episodes on tv. I was in the bathroom when I thought I heard a woman singing. It took me a few seconds before I realised it was you playing some beautiful tune. I thought: that's what I love about his playing: the vocal quality, taking you someplace else. Thank you for all your wonderful little songs. That said, I would like to hear the 'Firebird Lullaby' again.

[@cosmonaut9942]

I remember an intro that sounded like a cross between Jerry Garcia and Dickie Betts that I loved. Volume 8, Workingman's Bread.

[@PMiller3425]

That's one of my favorites. I would also add 12 strings and 12 packs, option anxiety with the dusenberg and Bed heads and rotors with the RA-200.

[@gosiagosiaguitars4105]

what a great player and channel.

[@dannoall8427]

Damn, that guitar is distractingly beautiful. Sounds as good as it looks. Fabulous touch, my brother.

[@simonwilliams9916]

Thanks for showing the harmonic trick. I’ve been baffled by It for ages. It’s the plucking with the thumb that’s the trick 🎸🤘🏻👍🎸🤘🏻👍

[@two-tone6934]

Thanks for all you do Uncle Larry

[@nicholasrussell620]

Ep. 58 "London Broil" is my personal favorite. I go back and listen to that all the time.

[@jackiegreenemusic]

this is great!! good job Gilly!!!!

[@501chorusecho]

Miss you bro!

[@stevehughes1510]

Yep as below Bon Temps Rouler and Vol 94 Country(Hawaiian) steel guitar plus any country rock licks that you kicked off with at the start of the lockdowns last year......magic stuff thanks Tom!!

[@williambarnes3727]

the opening of volume 83 when interduce the your sessionman guitar ! AWSOME!!! Thank for the Great trips

[@georgebennett2243]

Homeskoolin’ Volume 27 “Tom Bukovac, "Tennessee Jack Ford”...BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF HOMESKOOLIN...THIS STANDS OUT....ONE RIFF THAT YOU PLAYED INSIDE THAT JAM...REALLY MOVED ME.......STILL DOES....THAT IS THE POINT AFTER ALL.....THANKS TOM.

[@paulmcadams2012]

Lessons Number 19 and 57. Love the tone even through the phone speakers. Thank you for the great lessons.

[@elrafa782]

Love your whirly thing ! Thanks. I just discovered your channel, thanks to Brett papa. A lot to see, hear, and learn. Thanks by advance

[@WickBeavers]

Man! I thought you was Country! This is great!

[@calebkoval9587]

You could play anything and still be amazing. For what its worth I really enjoy "friday night slop"! God bless and play on Tom

[@BrotherLarry]

Bon Temps Rouler. Love the rhythm!

[@Bukkowsk1]

Hey Tom, love all your work these are my favorite openings: Homeskoolin Volume 29, 37, 35. 21, 11, 5, 69, 66, 10

[@claessorensson225]

Thanks for the tuning tip! Just because someone else had discovered it doesn't mean you didn't. And what's really cool is that now you told us about it.

[@BobSacamano226]

Intro to Vol. 27 Tennessee Jack Ford remains my all time favorite. Go back to it all the time. Love all your episodes, but this remains at the top.

[@jseptoski]

I'm totally stoked about the live show idea! Looking forward to it. Train Kept A Memphis! Light Up The Eagle!

[@user-zk2ce1eo6i]

Bed Head & Rotors - amazing. Love to see the Yamaha back in action. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@cosmonaut9942]

The beginning of Volume 27, "Tennessee Jack Ford" was killer. It needs lyrics. Also, Volume 87, "The Big Apple" is so melodic and beautiful. Not sure how a band could do it any better the little bit is so cool.

[@jonathans4187]

Vol. 64 “The bird returns” is my personal favourite must have listened to that a hundred times. Last week’s “Open door” also blew me away that solo you played hit me right in the feels

[@christopherburnett1745]

Uncle Larry, you're just full of tips today! It's like having a buddy who is infinitely better at guitar! To the Session Man of NE OH, from the Learning Man of NW OH, I say thank you! Be well brother!

[@zehkern]

I've recently binged all your schoolin' videos and so many details have stuck with me. The guitar being a planar instrument, finding triads, 12 fret above harmonics, keep it up and I'll become a good player!

[@cptntwang]

Thanks tom, that pressing down-string-bridge-thang saved my PRs one a minute ago. Miracle stuff.

[@aliassteve9055]

Hey Tom, First and foremost, thank you for the wisdom and lessons. I look forward to them, they are a bright spot in my day. It does get to be a huge rabbit hole some days. You mention a name or two, a song or two, then 4 hours later... I have googled everything I can on the subject. As to what to play for the 100th, ANYTHING! I truly enjoy everything that you play. Ok, maybe the Hank it up, that one was really cool. Honestly though, it don't matter. Just getting to hear and watch you play will be awesome! I have cleared my calendar for April 9th. Maybe, hopefully, one day when this virus crap is gone! The 200th show can be huge, and all of us subscribers, can make a pilgrimage, and fill the house. If we ever do get a chance to meet, which would be way frickin' cool. The first case of Rocks is on me!

[@rdw5150]

Volume 11 the power of the 5 minor is a favorite, as is volume 18, R&B. 119 total lessons, I cannot thank you enough. At the start of the shitty mess, you helped get me through. I looked forward to the new video daily........

[@inqubusta]

This is my favorite guitar channel on all of KZbin! Amazing playing.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@MrHotPlate]

“Friday Night Slop” jam on the SG, posted back on April 24th, 2020 for a request Buk. Love that jam.

[@27offshore]

I second this

[@gwbuilder5779]

Hey Tom, Just so you know, You are also a Cleveland Legend! You might live in Tennessee, but everybody knows your heart is all Cleveland. Awesome class as usual. I started laughing when you started talking about the capo, "I just learned the chords". That is so true, I don't understand the whole capo thing because you actually have to transpose in order to play. Way easier to just play the bar chord. If your fingers don't all reach, mute a couple strings or play em open. Great tip on the harmonics, especially the 12 fret detail. A lot of channels like to show off how they can do it, but don't show the natural 12 fret harmonic that makes it happen. I like how you pick underneath, I started doing that after a stroke because finger picking went in the toilet and I noticed it by accident. Thanks for sharing your qwerky details, real and raw, the way it should be. Here's 20 thumbs up!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@trentwaterman7049]

Super duper excited for a live 3 piece...Holy moly!!

[@coastercook]

I joined the Homeskoolin channel around the mid 30's and am just blown away from your playing. I think you can just randomly pick 10 of your intros and be good to go. Happy 100!

[@belo1971]

On of the best intro since the first episode 🥰...Stunning ! Cannot wait for the 110th video and live show on KZbin 👏 . Kindest regards from France. bélo

[@pbluuz4509]

My favorite TB episode is the one where he picks up the guitar and plays something amazing....so pretty much all of them.

[@mikeobrien4578]

love 'em all, but i do listen to Volume 67 ( Rattlin Tube Blues ) & Volume 68 ( Fresh Cuts ) almost every day. fabulous jams!!

[@bikesndrums]

Man my son lives in Nashville - we love 3rd and Lindsley - on 4/9 I'll be 3 weeks past my 2nd Covid shot and my son after his first! What a treat - first time out in a year- we'll keep a look out for tix. This is too cool. Thanks!

[@kevinafflack]

Hey Tom, thx so much for the tuning tip. That's the kinda stuff that needs to be passed on through the ages.

[@johnvcougar]

Just remember: always tune UP!

[@rickhill6277]

Love the WMMS T man! Use to listen to them all the time in the ‘60s and ‘70s!! I’m from Salem, Ohio about 20min south of Y-Town Ohio!

[@slk3rd205]

Can't tell you how much JOY I get when i see these videos! I just smile. Thanks a million Tom!

[@mikegreen2417]

Sad eyes...for the slow number. You can't hide your soft, squishy insides.

[@garrickhanson]

One more vote for Sad Eyes!

[@christopherburnett1745]

Absolutely! Uncle Larry blew me away with that one!

[@dannyriccardo-kornpet4599]

Favorite future episodes: 1) HS 228: Tom Bukovac and Sarah Buxton confess to being age defying Captain & Tennile. 2) HS: 171: Studio trip with Tom to track “Born on the Bayou” for Bruce Springsteen & Trent Reznor duet. 3)HS 118: Three of a perfect pair of pants 4) HS 147: Tom & Sarah dress in chipmunk onesies and inhale helium. 5) HS 106: Bukovac/Buxton- “Suppers Ready” 6) HS 119: Session Man signature model & Rolling Rock slide.

[@501chorusecho]

Haaaaaahaaaaaa

[@samstorie2647]

Your viewer appreciation intro on that custom PRS guitar was one of the most beautiful and soulful pieces I've heard you do. A bigger version of that would be killer.

[@tajdarjunaid]

That's an amazing tip about the string tuning! Thanks a heap Tom.

[@toddj9548]

I love the intro to #77. I also loved it when you did Never my love. Those are my votes. Thanks again for the lessons, stories, and great music!

[@MatthewDavidMontgomery]

Moving to town end of this month. Would LOVE to attend an Uncle Larry gig as my wife and I’s first official Nashville outing.

[@billroy2780]

So hard to pick a favorite opener. Like picking your favorite kid. Also, That Blackbird is just awesome!

[@slgam]

I saw Travis Meadows at 3rd and Lindsley. One of the most moving performances by one of the most soulful songwriters I have ever seen. I sure wish we could be there to see you live! Can’t wait to watch the streaming.

[@onenotesolo256]

So many great intros to choose from! Vol 16 for the Little Feat/Ray Cooder feel, and 61 for the JJ Cale++ feel. Also wanted to say thank you for at least three amazing little tips /tricks in this one single episode.

[@pwiegardt]

64, The Bird Returns 54, Just Cream Please 27, Tennessee Jack Ford

[@BassGoBomb]

Thanks for the English pronunciation ... nice .. :-) .. From BritLand ..

[@markham56]

Once again, you dispense valuable advanced tips to us. Thank you! BTW, I love 3rd and Lindsley!

[@paultaylor2968]

So much useful stuff. Thanks Tom and can't wait for the 100 gig. I could listen to you play an egg Slicer. Play anything man you ooze goodness

[@Qstick333]

My next 15 minutes are set. Thanks Tom.

[@jeff4310]

Intro to Episode #27 - A three chord blues exploration in the key of B. - Totally awesome!

[@timwhistler5882]

wow.What a cool guitar and as usual you do it justice. Your chordal knowledge, fluency just blows me away. I count myself lucky if I can take one thing per video.Thanks man.

[@rdw5150]

Love Keb Mo....... very cool. You have worked with amazing people. So jealous

[@Mizmusic]

Can’t wait for this 3rd and Lindsley show! Already in the calendar. Man I just thought of it but when you played Never My Love it blew my mind and I’ve been obsessed with it since. What a great song. Love the show Uncle Larry. Homeskoolin was one of the highlights of 2020 for me.

[@jefft275]

That guitar is beautiful looking and has a great tone. Nice jamming too, as usual!

[@Alex-rq4tq]

Got to be the Taj Mahal jam you done on your new Duesenberg. Inspires me every time i watch it man.

[@JDWH]

Uncle Larry, let me just say thank you, your playing inspires something new to play everyday! My three favorite openings are as follows Country Boy Can Survive London Broil We All Get Replaced Cheers from LA

[@Gtrmanify]

That is a smoking Idea man. Some of the best shows I've seen were there. hope that pans out. Let's have a Bukovac Attack!!

[@myken14]

Bon Temps Rouler!!!! Would love to hear that one. My favorite intro by far :)

[@jordanscotton6907]

Hey Tom! Can't wait for the live stream, looking forward to seeing both of those firebird songs in all their glory!! Just have to hunt down some Rollin Rock for the show down here in Australia! Cheers! Jordy Scott

[@tuomaskiiski9723]

I really would like to hear again that superb duetto with your wife. Ripples. Thanks for the great show anyway. You have a lot of fans in Finland. I been hunting to buy the Rolling Rock from Europe, but I think I need to come to buy from Nashville after the covid is over.

[@philroselle1514]

Thank you for the endless Joy!!

[@lastnote]

Man would I kill to hear "Cardboard Cut Outs in the Shade" live. I also have to listen to "Existential Friday" frequently - no sound puts me more at ease in the world. Whether you play them or not, those are just beautiful arrangements and wanted you to know.

[@MikeM-Colorado]

Great to hear the credit to Greg V. Like another viewer mentioned, my wallet suffered from his gear demos -- but my tone and playing style benefitted a lot! I remembered an article that I read a long time ago, and I found it again. In this interview, Greg describes what a generous person our host Tom was when Greg first came to Nashville. It's on Premier Guitar. Search for: Nashville Cat: a session with Greg V There are many references to Tom's generosity and talent in the article. It's Greg's interview -- but he is compelled to mention Tom five or six times. Be sure to read the last bit about Nashville Number System - priceless!

[@rossbrown3656]

Ep. 68 “fresh cuts” is may favorite intro you’ve done! And his become one of my go to test drives when I pick up a new guitar. Also love both the intros you did with the red non-reverse firebird. Thanks for all the guitar lessons Uncle Larry!

[@elcorizon]

best tone ever God Damn and i have been here since this thing started

[@jeradatherton]

Great tuning tip. Never thought of that. Thanks!

[@brisleeadams]

Mind blowing wurli sound trick Tonton Larry, Rhodes's and Wurlis are some of my favourite keyboard sounds! (Tonton is Uncle in French slang and kiddo vocab)! Yep that last opener you played is a great one!

[@krisbeck319]

Man I love Greg V's playing, Tailgate Troubadour has been in rotation since the day it came out, I know he does more with visual arts these days but he is still one hell of an "atmospheric" player. That was a great trick Tom, thanks for that.

[@maxratliff9284]

That would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ultratone]

3 awesome tips in one episode, tuning, pitch harmonics (knew but you took further), and the wurly thing. Thanks!

[@marksieber8140]

Love the picking 12 frets above trick; I grabbed that the first time--even without the tremolo it makes for an open sound, partway to a twelve-string, especially with the shoulder of the pick. Two of so many great tips you've dropped like pearls. PS Hey Tom, another vote here for Bon Temps Rouler!

[@jacobhoward96]

Oh man, it's like you read my mind. That is one of my favourite intro jams. The B section in that is great too! The episode is Cadillac Larry. ✌️
